Terms of Service

Last updated 2 June 2026.

By using Fragments (the site at thefragments.in) you agree to these simple terms. They’re written plainly because this is a small independent publication, not a corporation.

Using the site

You’re welcome to read, link to, and share what’s here. Please don’t try to break, overload, scrape at scale, or misuse the site or its systems.

Our content

The writing, images, and interactive figures are the work of Fragments and its contributors, and are protected by copyright. You may quote short excerpts with attribution and a link; for anything more — republishing, translation, commercial use — please ask via Contact. Sources for data and quotations are cited within each piece and its appendix.

Your comments

You own what you post, but by posting you give us permission to display it on the site. Keep it civil and lawful — no harassment, spam, or infringing material. We may remove comments or accounts that break these terms, and comments are moderated.

No warranty

The site and its data essays are provided “as is,” for general interest. The interactive figures include clearly-labelled estimates and dated snapshots, and nothing here is financial, legal, or professional advice. We do our best to be accurate but can’t guarantee the site is error-free or always available.

Changes

We may update these terms; the date above will change when we do. Questions? See Contact.

These are plain-language terms for a small personal publication, not legal advice. If you have specific legal requirements for your jurisdiction, please have them reviewed.
