online dispute resolution.
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR) under Regulation (EU) No 524/2013. You can reach it at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. I am not legally obliged, and not generally willing, to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board — but I'm always happy to talk through anything directly first: hello@off-the-mat.com.
liability for content.
I write everything on this site myself and check it carefully, but I can't guarantee that every piece of information is fully up to date, complete or correct at every moment. The content here is general — it's not medical, psychological, therapeutic or legal advice, and it isn't a substitute for talking to a qualified professional about your own situation. If you're working with a clinician, please follow their guidance.
liability for links.
This site links to other websites — Insight Timer, Zenamu, Flodesk, the IDPC and so on. I have no influence over their content and accept no responsibility for it. When I added each link the destination was unobjectionable; if you notice that one of those sites has become problematic, please let me know and I'll review it.
copyright.
Text, photographs, layout and design on this site are protected by Maltese and European copyright law. If you'd like to quote, share or republish anything beyond ordinary fair use, please write to me first — I'm usually happy to say yes when asked.
