References to DUNKELROSA in these Terms refer to the publication and the business operated by the individual identified above, rather than a separate incorporated company.
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Website, including its articles, photographs, illustrations, editorial features and other published materials.
By using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.
If you purchase a product, subscription or other service from us, additional terms may apply. Where applicable, those terms will be made available to you before purchase.
We may amend these Terms from time to time. The latest version will be published on the Website, together with the date on which it was last updated.
The Website is intended primarily for users in the United Kingdom. We make no representation that the Website or its content is appropriate or available in every jurisdiction.
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Website complies with applicable laws.
You must not use the Website in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent or harmful, or that interferes with its operation or other users’ access to it.
We aim to keep the Website available and functioning properly, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors.
We may suspend, withdraw or restrict access to all or part of the Website for operational, maintenance, security or business reasons.
You are responsible for using appropriate security measures on your own devices and systems when accessing the Website.
Unless otherwise stated, the content published on the Website, including articles, text, photographs, illustrations, graphics, logos, designs and other editorial materials, is owned by us or used under licence. It may be protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws.
All rights are reserved, subject to the permissions and exceptions provided by applicable law.
You may access and read the Website for your personal, non-commercial use. You may also share links to our content and quote brief extracts where permitted by law, provided that you acknowledge DUNKELROSA as the source and do not misrepresent the material or its authorship.
You must not, without our prior written permission or another lawful basis:
Nothing in these Terms restricts rights that cannot lawfully be restricted, including applicable copyright exceptions.
Where content is credited to a photographer, writer, artist, model or other contributor, that credit does not necessarily mean that we own all rights in the material. Third-party rights must be respected.
DUNKELROSA is an independent editorial publication. Our content may cover culture, art, photography, fashion, relationships, sexuality, nightlife and other subjects relevant to our editorial interests.
The Website is provided for general informational, cultural and entertainment purposes. Unless expressly stated otherwise, our content does not constitute professional, medical, legal, financial or other specialist advice.
We endeavour to publish content that is considered, relevant and accurate. However, information may become outdated, errors may occur, and opinions or interpretations may differ.
We do not warrant that all content is complete, accurate or up to date. You should independently verify information where accuracy is important to your circumstances.
Editorial opinions belong to their respective authors or contributors and do not necessarily represent the views of every contributor associated with DUNKELROSA.
Nothing in this section excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.
DUNKELROSA may use artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools in the creation or development of certain editorial materials, including images, illustrations, visual concepts, headlines, drafts, editing, research or other supporting work.
In particular, some images published on the Website may be generated wholly or partly using AI, or may have been materially altered with AI tools. Some written material may also be produced with AI assistance.
We regard AI as a tool within the editorial and creative process, rather than a substitute for editorial judgement. Where AI is used, the nature and extent of that involvement may vary between individual items.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, we do not promise that every item of content has been created entirely by a human or that every image depicts a real person, event or place.
AI-generated and AI-assisted material may contain inaccuracies, unintended similarities or other errors. Content should not be taken as proof that a depicted person, event, statement or circumstance is real.
We aim to respect applicable laws and third-party rights when producing and publishing content. However, we cannot guarantee that every AI-generated output is free from all potential intellectual property or other legal issues.
Where we consider it appropriate, we may identify particular items as AI-generated or AI-assisted. The absence of a specific label should not be interpreted as a guarantee that AI was not used.
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, products or services.
These links are provided for convenience or informational purposes. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices or terms.
A link does not necessarily imply endorsement, approval or affiliation.
Your use of third-party websites and services is at your own discretion and may be subject to their own terms and policies.
If the Website allows you to submit content, including comments, messages, photographs, written contributions or other materials, you remain responsible for the content you submit.
You must ensure that your submissions:
You must have the necessary rights, permissions and consents to submit the material and to permit its intended use.
You retain ownership of your submissions. By submitting content for publication or use by DUNKELROSA, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, edit, display, distribute and publish that content for the purposes of operating, promoting and maintaining the publication and its associated channels.
This licence applies for as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes, subject to any separate agreement with you and applicable law. We will not acquire ownership of your content merely because you submit it.
You must not submit confidential or sensitive personal information unless it is necessary, you are entitled to provide it, and you have made appropriate arrangements with us in advance.
We may decline to publish, edit or remove submissions at our discretion, subject to applicable law and any separate agreement with the contributor.
If the Website does not offer user submissions or interactive features, this section applies only if such features are introduced.
We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, set out in the Privacy section below.
The Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, the circumstances in which it may be shared, and your rights under applicable data protection law.
Please read the Privacy Policy alongside these Terms.

We may take reasonable steps to protect the Website and enforce these Terms where we reasonably believe they have been breached.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

We are not responsible for losses resulting from third-party websites, services or content that we do not control.
You are responsible for deciding whether and how to rely on the Website’s content.
Where you use the Website as a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights.

DUNKELROSA, together with any associated names, logos or visual identities, may be protected by trade mark or other intellectual property rights.

Nothing in these Terms grants you a licence to use our trade marks or branding beyond the limited use expressly permitted above or by applicable law.
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the law of England and Wales.
The courts of England and Wales shall have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights or jurisdictional protections available to consumers under applicable law.

The Website does not currently set cookies for advertising or analytics.

We will identify specific providers in supplementary privacy or cookie information where appropriate.
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms or other online services.
