To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of England and Wales, DST shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or harm arising from the use of this website or reliance on its information.

Visitors are responsible for their own decisions and should seek appropriate professional support where necessary.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

6. Website Operation

While we aim to keep the website accessible and accurate, uninterrupted access cannot be guaranteed.

Content may be updated, amended, or removed without notice.

We do not operate contact forms, subscription accounts, membership portals, or marketing databases.

8. Donations and Payments

DST operates as an independent, not-for-profit initiative. It is not currently a registered charity and is unable to claim Gift Aid on donations at this stage.

Donations made through this website are voluntary and support the development of DST’s work, including educational resources, guidance materials, online conversations, website costs, event setup, governance work, and general running costs.

Donations do not constitute payment for professional services and do not create a professional, advisory, fiduciary, or contractual relationship between DST and the donor.

Unless otherwise required by law, donations are non-refundable.

Payment processing is handled securely by third-party providers, including Stripe where applicable, and is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

Where digital resources are made available for purchase in future, they will be provided for informational and educational purposes only. Due to the nature of digital content, purchases may be non-refundable once accessed, unless otherwise required by law.
