Agreement
By accessing and using Shudderwick (shudderwick.com), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
What this site provides
Shudderwick publishes illustrated retellings of ghost stories adapted from public domain sources. The stories are meant for entertainment. We do our best to respect the cultural origins of each story and to cite sources accurately.
Intellectual property
The original source material for our stories is in the public domain. Our retellings, illustrations, design, and site content are original works and are protected by copyright. You may share links to stories freely. You may not reproduce, distribute, or republish our retellings or illustrations without written permission.
Accuracy
We retell ghost stories from folklore, oral tradition, and historical accounts. We do not claim that any of these stories are factually true. Historical details are presented as accurately as we can manage, but we are storytellers, not historians. If you spot an error, please let us know.
Advertising
This site displays advertisements through Google AdSense. We do not control the specific ads shown. If you see an ad that seems inappropriate, you can report it through Google's ad feedback tools or contact us.
External links
Some pages link to external websites for historical context or source attribution. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of those sites.
Limitation of liability
Shudderwick is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of this site. If a ghost story keeps you up at night, that is between you and the ghost.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated terms.
