    Firm's wording · Section: Foreword

How these terms are read

We read the terms and conditions, trading rules and disclosures that each firm publishes on its own website, and only there. Every document goes through the same twelve-question grid. An answer is only published once the sentence it rests on has been found word for word in the page our watcher recorded itself, and then reviewed. We quote the text as written, without paraphrasing it, so that anyone can check it. When a document does not address a question, we say so, without inferring a yes or a no.

This page describes what documents say at a given date. It is not legal advice, it does not say whether a clause is valid under your national law, and it does not replace reading the full contract before a purchase.
