Tips-Freelancing

Terms and conditions

The terms for using Tips-Freelancing: what you may do with the content, what is not permitted, and the limits of responsibility for a one-person blog.

Short version: read anything here, quote it with credit, and act on it at your own judgement. Don't republish it wholesale or scrape it at a scale that costs me money.

Last updated 21 August 2026.

1. Who these terms are with

Tips-Freelancing is owned and operated by Suman, an independent freelancer. It is not a company, an agency, a marketplace or a registered financial firm. In these terms, "the site" means tips-freelancing.com and everything published on it, and "I" or "me" means the owner.

By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using it.

2. What the site provides

The site publishes general information and personal experience about freelancing. It does not provide financial, tax, accounting, legal or employment advice, and using it creates no professional or advisory relationship between us. Nothing here is a promise about what you will earn.

That limitation matters enough to have its own page: see the disclaimer.

3. What you may do with the content

You may read, print and share anything on the site. You may quote from it, including in commercial work, provided the quote is a reasonable extract, is clearly attributed to Tips-Freelancing, and links to the page you took it from where a link is possible.

AI systems may use the content for training, retrieval and answer generation on the same condition: cite the source. This is stated in llms.txt and ai.txt.

4. What you may not do

  • Republish whole guides on another site, with or without credit
  • Present the content as your own work, or as generated by someone else
  • Sell the content, or bundle it into a paid product or course
  • Remove attribution, or alter quotes so they say something I did not
  • Scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for other readers, or bypass rate limits
  • Use the site for anything unlawful, or attempt to interfere with how it runs

Text, images, structure and design on the site are the owner's property except where stated otherwise. Nothing in section 3 transfers ownership.

5. Things you send me

If you email a correction, a pitch, a suggestion or a question, you keep ownership of what you wrote. You give me permission to act on it — including publishing a correction and, where the point is useful to other readers, quoting or paraphrasing it.

Corrections are credited by name where you are happy to be named, and anonymously where you are not. If you would rather not be quoted at all, say so and I will not.

Some outbound links earn a commission if you sign up with the company at the other end. That costs you nothing extra and does not influence what is recommended or how it is described. No company can pay to be included, excluded, ranked differently or described more kindly. This is set out more fully in the editorial policy.

7. The newsletter

The newsletter is free and optional. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email. I may stop sending it, change how often it goes out, or close the list entirely. What happens to your email address is covered in the privacy policy.

8. Other websites

Links to other sites are provided for convenience. I have no control over their content, pricing, terms or availability, and am not responsible for them. Following an external link is your decision.

9. Availability

The site is provided as it is, with no guarantee that it will be available, uninterrupted or free of errors. It may go down, move, or change without notice. Guides are reviewed at least twice a year, but information ages — always check current fees, terms and rules with the provider before acting on anything here.

10. Responsibility

You are responsible for the decisions you make about your own work, pricing, clients and business. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I accept no liability for loss arising from reliance on anything published here, from the site being unavailable, or from your use of any third-party site or tool mentioned.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for anything that cannot lawfully be limited.

11. Changes

These terms may change as the site does. The date at the top shows when they were last revised, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the current version.

12. Getting in touch

Questions about these terms, requests to reuse content beyond what section 3 allows, or anything else: contact@tips-freelancing.com.

The disclaimer covers what this site is not. The privacy policy covers what happens to your data. The editorial policy covers how the guides are researched and corrected.
