Terms Conditions

1. About these terms

These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of the Galotheraenique website. The website provides information about a butterfly exhibition, its subject matter, visitor arrangements and related educational content. By using the website, you agree to comply with these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the website.

The website operator is Galotheraenique Exhibitions Ltd, correspondence address: Town Hall, Market Place, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, OX20 1SL. Contact: info@galotheraenique.com.

2. Website information

We take reasonable care when preparing exhibition descriptions, species notes, visitor information and other material. Natural history information may be updated as identification, interpretation or exhibition arrangements change. Content is provided for general information and should not be treated as a definitive scientific record for every species or specimen.

Opening arrangements, access routes and displayed material may change to reflect seasonal conditions, operational requirements or the welfare needs of the living collection. Where practical, material changes will be reflected on the relevant page.

3. Acceptable use

You may use the website only for lawful purposes. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website or its supporting systems, interfere with its operation, introduce malicious code, misuse forms or contact details, or use automated activity in a way that places an unreasonable burden on the service. We may restrict access where we reasonably believe that these terms have been breached or that the security of the website is at risk.

4. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the text, visual identity, page layouts and original materials on this website are owned by or licensed to the website operator. You may view and print reasonable extracts for personal, non-commercial reference, provided that copyright and other proprietary notices remain intact. You must not reproduce, adapt, distribute or commercially exploit website material without prior written permission or another applicable legal basis.

Photographs and illustrations may be subject to separate rights held by their respective creators. Their appearance on this website does not grant a general licence for reuse.

5. Links and external resources

Where the website refers to an external organisation or resource, the reference is provided for information. We do not control external websites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices. You should review the terms and privacy information of any external service you choose to use.

6. Visitor conduct and living collection

Visitors to the exhibition are expected to follow displayed instructions, respect staff guidance and treat the living collection and planted habitats with care. Do not handle butterflies, pupae, plants or display structures unless a member of the exhibition team expressly invites you to do so. Avoid actions that may disturb resting or feeding specimens, and supervise children throughout the exhibition.

Photography should be carried out without flash where directed and without obstructing paths or other visitors. Specific visitor arrangements may be updated on the Visit page.

7. Website availability

We aim to keep the website available and content accessible, but uninterrupted operation cannot be guaranteed. Maintenance, technical faults, security measures or events outside our reasonable control may temporarily affect access. We may modify, suspend or remove website features where reasonably necessary.

8. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any right that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer law.

Subject to that limitation, we are not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when you used the website, or for business losses arising from use of a website intended primarily to provide general visitor information. Nothing in this section affects any statutory rights you may have.

9. Privacy and cookies

Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy. The Cookie Policy explains the website's use of cookies and similar technologies. These documents form part of the information governing your use of the website and should be read alongside these terms.

10. Changes, law and jurisdiction

We may revise these terms to reflect changes to the website, exhibition arrangements or applicable law. The latest version will be published on this page and will apply from its stated review date.

These terms and any non-contractual obligations arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory rights that apply to consumers in another part of the United Kingdom or elsewhere.
