Terms of use

Last updated November 2026

Reading and sharing

You are welcome to read, link to and quote short passages from mightyartemis-almond.shop for personal, educational or review purposes, with a credit to Word Hoard and a link back. Please don’t republish whole chapters, word cards or illustrations elsewhere, or copy the site automatically.

What we own, and what nobody owns

Our essays, word cards, glossary entries and letterpress-style illustrations are © Word Hoard. The myths and the ancient texts are public domain, as are the older translations we quote; our rights cover only our own words, arrangement and images, never the sources themselves.

Etymology is not certainty

Word histories are often disputed, and we say so where we know it. Our chapters are general information for curious readers, not academic, legal or professional advice, and we can’t promise that every entry is complete or beyond debate.

Links to other sites

We link to digital libraries, museums and other references we trust. Their content and privacy practices are their own responsibility.

Liability

As far as Canadian law allows, Word Hoard is not liable for any loss arising from use of the site or reliance on its contents. These terms do not take away any rights you have under consumer protection laws of your province or territory that cannot be waived.

Changes and contact

We may revise these terms and will update the date above when we do. Questions: [email protected].
