Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 29 August 2026

Welcome to marcusbergin.com.

These Terms and Conditions apply to your use of this website and to digital content, guides and other products made available through it.

The website is operated by Marcus Bergin.

By using this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.

Website content

The information provided on marcusbergin.com is intended for general information, education and interest.

The website includes gardening articles, observations, advice, podcasts, guides and other material based on my professional experience and knowledge.

Gardens, plants and growing conditions vary considerably. Soil, climate, weather, aspect, plant health, location and many other factors can affect the results of gardening advice.

For that reason, information provided on this website should not be regarded as a guarantee that a particular plant, product, treatment or gardening technique will produce a particular result in every garden.

You remain responsible for deciding whether information or advice is appropriate for your own circumstances.

Digital guides and downloads

The website may offer free and paid digital products, including gardening guides, ebooks, checklists and other downloadable material.

Where a digital product is offered free of charge, no payment is required.

Where a price is displayed, the price shown at the time of ordering will apply.

Digital products are supplied for your personal, non-commercial use unless otherwise stated.

You may download and, where useful, print a copy for your own use.

You must not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, sublicense, upload or otherwise make a digital product available to others without prior written permission from Marcus Bergin.

Free guides and email marketing

Some digital guides or other resources may be offered free of charge.

You may be asked to provide information such as your name or email address so that the resource can be provided to you and the request can be administered.

You may also be offered the opportunity to receive gardening articles, new guides, podcast news and other updates by email.

Receiving marketing emails is optional.

Where consent is required, choosing not to receive marketing emails will not prevent you from obtaining a free guide or completing an order.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.

Further information about how personal information is used is available in the Privacy Policy.

Paid digital products

The website may also offer paid digital products.

Payment will be required at checkout before a paid digital product is supplied.

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Their own terms and privacy policies may also apply when you use their services.

Details concerning cancellation and refunds for digital products are provided in the website's Refund Policy and are subject to your statutory consumer rights.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the written content, original photographs, illustrations, downloadable guides, branding and other original material published on marcusbergin.com belong to Marcus Bergin or are used with appropriate permission.

You are welcome to share links to pages and articles on the website.

However, you must not copy substantial amounts of website content, reproduce articles elsewhere, redistribute downloadable guides, sell the material or represent the content as your own without prior permission.

Brief quotations may be used where permitted by law and with appropriate attribution.

Sharing links

You are welcome to link to publicly accessible pages on marcusbergin.com, provided the link is used fairly and does not misleadingly suggest that Marcus Bergin endorses, sponsors or is associated with another person, organisation, product or service.

You must not use the Marcus Bergin name, logo or branding in a way that falsely suggests an official association or endorsement.

Third-party websites and services

The website may contain links to other websites and services, including social media platforms, podcast services, retailers and other gardening resources.

These external websites are operated independently and have their own terms, policies and practices.

Marcus Bergin is not responsible for the content, availability or practices of third-party websites.

Availability of the website

I aim to keep the website and its digital resources available, but I cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

Pages, products, downloads and other features may occasionally be changed, suspended or removed for maintenance, technical reasons or as the website develops.

Accuracy and changes to content

I make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information.

Gardening knowledge, recommendations, products, regulations and growing conditions can change over time, however, and older articles or guides may not always reflect the latest information.

I may update, correct or remove website content where appropriate.

Liability

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Subject to those rights, Marcus Bergin is not responsible for losses resulting from reliance on general gardening information where factors outside my reasonable control — including weather, soil conditions, plant health, pests, diseases or individual growing conditions — affect the outcome.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions affects any statutory rights you may have as a consumer.

Privacy and cookies

Use of personal information is explained in the Privacy Policy.

The website may also use cookies and similar technologies. Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, you will be given an opportunity to manage your preferences.

Changes to these terms

These Terms and Conditions may be updated from time to time as the website, products or services change.

The latest version will be published on this page together with the date it was last updated.

Governing law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Nothing in these terms prevents a consumer from relying on any mandatory rights or protections available to them under applicable consumer law.
