1. About these terms

These terms govern access to brelvan.info, operated by Brelvan Health Ltd at 22 Bold Street, Liverpool L1 8DQ.

By continuing to browse brelvan.info beyond this page, a reader accepts these terms in full; anyone who does not agree with a particular term should stop using the website rather than continue on a partial basis. Brelvan Health Ltd is registered in the United Kingdom under company number 2024/134708 and is registered for VAT under number GB134708562, and can be contacted by email at [email protected] or by telephone on 0151 946 0763 during the hours published on the Contact page. These terms apply to every page on the domain, including the homepage, the six published articles, the about, contact, disclaimer, privacy policy and cookie policy pages, and any newsletter issue sent to a subscriber. Where a specific page carries its own additional notice, such as the Disclaimer, that notice supplements rather than replaces these general terms. These terms are written for a general reader in the United Kingdom and are reviewed periodically to remain consistent with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and the Disclaimer published alongside them.

  • (a) These terms apply equally to a first-time visitor and a long-standing newsletter subscriber.
  • (b) Where these terms conflict with a more specific notice on an individual page, the more specific notice takes precedence for that page only.
  • (c) A reader who disagrees with a specific term should contact [email protected] to raise the concern rather than relying on a personal interpretation that departs from the published wording.

2. Editorial use

Pages are supplied for general information and education. Readers remain responsible for deciding whether information is relevant to their circumstances.

Every article published on brelvan.info is written to summarise publicly available research and published guidance for a general UK readership interested in men's wellbeing topics, rather than to advise on any single reader's personal circumstances. For example, an overview article about sleep and general wellbeing draws on published studies and public health sources, and a reader deciding whether any of that general information applies to their own routine remains responsible for that judgement, ideally with input from a GP where relevant. Brelvan's editorial team reviews sources for general accuracy and currency at the time of publication, but does not warrant that every article remains up to date indefinitely, since research and public guidance can change after publication. Where an article is later found to need correction, the editorial team will update it and note the review date, consistent with the approach described in the Disclaimer. Readers who rely on older material should check the "reviewed" date on an article and consider whether more recent public guidance may have superseded it.

  • (a) Articles reflect the state of published research and public guidance at the time they were last reviewed, not necessarily at the time of reading.
  • (b) General information is not tailored advice; two readers with different personal circumstances may reasonably draw different conclusions from the same article.
  • (c) Corrections to published articles are dated, and the current published version always supersedes an earlier cached or printed copy.

3. No personal guidance

Articles are not a personal service and do not create a professional relationship. Personal questions should be raised with an appropriate qualified professional.

Nothing about browsing brelvan.info, subscribing to the newsletter, or exchanging emails with the editorial team creates a client relationship, an advisory relationship or any comparable professional duty of care owed to an individual reader. This is a deliberate structural feature of the website: Brelvan operates as an editorial publisher summarising third-party research and guidance, not as a service provider assessing any individual's circumstances. A reader with a personal question prompted by an article, for example about how a general finding might relate to their own routine, should raise that question with a GP, pharmacist or other appropriately qualified professional rather than expecting a personalised answer from Brelvan. Where the editorial team replies to a reader's email, that reply is limited to clarifying what a given article does or does not say, and is not, and should not be read as, individual guidance. This position is consistent with the Disclaimer published on this website and is not altered by the tone or length of any individual email exchange.

  • (a) No advisory relationship arises from reading an article, subscribing to the newsletter, or receiving a reply to a contact form message.
  • (b) Personal questions about an individual's own circumstances should be directed to a GP, pharmacist or other qualified professional, not to Brelvan.
  • (c) Replies from the editorial team address what a published article says, and do not extend to an assessment of any reader's personal situation.

4. Intellectual property

Text, layout and marks belong to Brelvan or their respective licensors. Readers may link to pages and quote short excerpts with attribution.

The Brelvan name, the site's visual design, and the original text of each article are protected by copyright and, where applicable, trade mark law, and remain the property of Brelvan Health Ltd or the relevant third-party licensor whose material has been referenced with permission or under fair dealing. A reader or another website is welcome to link directly to any page on brelvan.info without seeking prior permission, and may quote a short excerpt of an article, for example a sentence or two, provided the quotation is clearly attributed to Brelvan with a link back to the original page. Reproducing a substantial part of an article in full on another website, or presenting Brelvan's original text as belonging to another publisher, is not permitted under this licence and may infringe copyright. Where an article itself quotes or references a third-party source, such as a published study, that underlying source retains its own separate copyright, and any further reproduction of it should be checked against that source's own terms. Requests to reproduce more than a short excerpt, for example for an academic or press purpose, can be sent to [email protected] for consideration on a case-by-case basis.

  • (a) Linking: freely permitted to any page on brelvan.info without prior request.
  • (b) Quoting: short excerpts are permitted with clear attribution and a link back to the original article.
  • (c) Full reproduction: not permitted without prior written permission from Brelvan Health Ltd.

5. Acceptable use

Do not interfere with the site, scrape it in a harmful manner, misrepresent Brelvan or use its content for unlawful purposes.

"Interfering with the site" includes, without limitation, attempting to bypass security measures, submitting the contact or newsletter forms in an automated or bulk manner, or taking any action likely to degrade the availability of brelvan.info for other readers. Automated scraping of the entire website at a scale or frequency that places unreasonable load on our hosting infrastructure is not permitted, though reasonable indexing by recognised search engines for the purpose of enabling search results is expressly allowed and welcomed. Misrepresenting Brelvan includes, for example, presenting an altered version of an article as though it were the original published text, or implying an endorsement, partnership or professional recommendation from Brelvan that does not exist. Using content from this website to support an unlawful purpose, including in a way that would breach advertising or consumer protection law in the United Kingdom, is not permitted under any circumstances. Where Brelvan identifies conduct that breaches this section, we reserve the right to restrict access to the website from the source involved, without affecting the rights of other readers.

  • (a) Prohibited: bypassing security measures, bulk-automated form submissions, and large-scale scraping that degrades site performance.
  • (b) Prohibited: presenting altered article text as original, or implying an endorsement or partnership that does not exist.
  • (c) Permitted: reasonable indexing by recognised search engines, and ordinary personal browsing and reading.

6. External links

References to other websites are supplied for context. We do not control their content, availability or privacy practices.

Where an article links to a source such as NHS.uk, a peer-reviewed journal, or another public information resource, that link is provided so a reader can review the underlying material for themselves, not as an endorsement of everything else published on the linked website. Brelvan does not monitor linked websites on an ongoing basis, and a source that was accurate and available at the time an article was written may later change its content, move to a different address, or become temporarily unavailable without any corresponding update to the Brelvan article that referenced it. Each linked website operates under its own separate terms of use and privacy notice, which a reader should review independently before relying on it or submitting any information to it. Where a reader identifies a broken or outdated external link on brelvan.info, this can be reported to [email protected] so the article can be reviewed and, where appropriate, updated with a current source. Brelvan is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of any third-party website reached via a link from this site.

  • (a) External links are provided as source references, not as an endorsement of the linked website as a whole.
  • (b) Linked websites may change or become unavailable after an article is published, independently of Brelvan.
  • (c) Reports of broken or outdated links can be sent to [email protected] for review.

7. Availability

We aim to keep the site available but cannot promise uninterrupted access, complete accuracy or permanent publication of every page.

Like most websites, brelvan.info may occasionally be unavailable due to routine maintenance, hosting provider issues, or circumstances outside our reasonable control, and we do not commit to a specific uptime figure or compensation for any period of unavailability. While the editorial team takes care to check sources before publication, published research can later be revised, retracted or superseded, and Brelvan does not warrant that every statement on every page remains accurate indefinitely; the reviewed date shown on each page indicates when it was last checked. Brelvan reserves the right to remove, consolidate or restructure any page, including an individual article, where this is considered appropriate for editorial or operational reasons, for example if an underlying source is withdrawn. Where a page is removed, a reader who previously bookmarked or linked to it may encounter a "page not found" response, handled by the custom error page described elsewhere on this website. We do not guarantee that any specific page will remain published at its current address indefinitely.

  • (a) Availability: reasonable efforts are made to keep the website online, without a specific uptime commitment.
  • (b) Accuracy: each page reflects the position as at its stated review date, not necessarily the current position at the time of reading.
  • (c) Publication: Brelvan may restructure, update or remove a page where appropriate for editorial reasons.

8. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot lawfully be limited. Subject to that, Brelvan is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on general editorial material.

This section does not exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of England and Wales, including liability arising from fraud, or any other liability that the law does not permit a business to exclude. Subject to that, Brelvan does not accept responsibility for a loss connected to a reader's decision to rely on general editorial content published on brelvan.info without seeking appropriate professional input first, consistent with the position set out in the Disclaimer. Where a reader is a consumer under UK consumer protection law, nothing in these terms is intended to remove any statutory right that reader would otherwise have; where any wording in these terms appears to conflict with a mandatory consumer right, the statutory right takes precedence. Brelvan is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss connected to use of this website, such as a loss arising from temporary unavailability of a page, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Because Brelvan operates an editorial, non-transactional website with no purchases, orders or paid services, the scope of potential loss connected to using it is inherently limited compared with a commercial trading website.

  • (a) Rights that cannot lawfully be limited under UK law are unaffected by this section.
  • (b) Reliance on general editorial content without appropriate professional input is at the reader's own risk, as described in the Disclaimer.
  • (c) Statutory consumer rights take precedence over any conflicting wording in these terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, with courts in that jurisdiction handling disputes subject to applicable consumer rights.

Regardless of where a reader is physically located when accessing brelvan.info, these terms and any dispute arising from them are interpreted according to the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction to hear any such dispute, subject always to any mandatory local consumer protection that may separately apply to a reader based elsewhere. A UK-based consumer bringing a claim retains the right to do so in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom where they live, in line with standard UK consumer protection principles, rather than being required to bring a claim exclusively in a distant court. Before any formal dispute, we encourage a reader to first raise the issue directly with [email protected], since most concerns about an article, a contact form reply or a privacy question can be resolved without escalation. Where a dispute genuinely cannot be resolved directly, a reader may also have access to independent alternative dispute resolution options recognised under UK consumer law, depending on the nature of the concern. Nothing in this section prevents a reader from contacting the Information Commissioner's Office regarding a data protection concern, which is handled under the Privacy Policy rather than under general governing-law provisions.

  • (a) Governing law: England and Wales, for these terms and any dispute connected to use of this website.
  • (b) Consumer jurisdiction: a UK-based consumer may bring a claim in the courts of the part of the UK where they live.
  • (c) First step: readers are encouraged to contact [email protected] directly before pursuing any formal dispute route.

10. Changes

Version dated 24 September 2026. Continued browsing after an update indicates that the revised terms have been made available on this page.

Brelvan reviews these terms periodically, typically at least once every 12 months, or sooner where a change to the website's features, a change in applicable UK law, or an update to the Privacy Policy or Cookie Policy makes a corresponding change to these terms necessary. Where a change is minor, such as a formatting correction or an updated contact detail, the version date shown above is updated without separate announcement elsewhere on the site. Where a change is material, for example a change affecting the Liability or Governing law sections, we will aim to highlight the update on the homepage for a reasonable period following the change, in addition to updating the version date on this page. A reader who wants to understand what changed between two versions of these terms can contact [email protected], and we will describe the substantive differences on request. As stated above, continued use of brelvan.info after a revised version has been published indicates acceptance of the terms as they then stand; a reader who does not accept a revised version should stop using the website rather than continue on the basis of an earlier version.

  • (a) Review cadence: at least annually, or sooner where required by a change in law or website features.
  • (b) Minor changes: reflected by an updated version date without separate announcement.
  • (c) Material changes: highlighted on the homepage for a reasonable period, with an explanation available on request.
