Disclaimer | UpFuel

The information and materials provided on UpFuel ("UpFuel," "we," "us," or "our"), accessible at https://upfuel.online (the "Site"), are offered for general informational and educational purposes only. By using the Site, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Disclaimer. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.

1. Read This First — Safety Information

UpFuel writes about burning fuel indoors. That subject involves carbon monoxide poisoning, fire, explosion, asphyxiation and long-term air-quality risks, and mistakes in it can be fatal. We take that seriously, and so should you.

Three things override anything you read on this Site:

The instructions supplied with your appliance. They are specific to that model and have been tested against it. Where our guidance differs from your manual, follow the manual.
Your local building, gas, fire and housing regulations. These differ between countries, states and municipalities, and they change. What is legal and standard practice in one jurisdiction may be prohibited in another.
A qualified professional. In the United Kingdom, work on gas appliances must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer; comparable licensing applies in most jurisdictions. Nothing here authorizes or encourages you to install, convert, modify or repair a fuel-burning appliance yourself.

In an emergency, do not use this Site. If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, if you smell gas, or if anyone shows symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure — headache, nausea, dizziness, confusion, drowsiness — leave the building immediately, take everyone and any pets with you, and call your local emergency services from outside. Do not go back in to investigate or to open windows.

2. General Information Only

All content on the Site — including guides, explainers, figures, tables, infographics, comparisons and recommendations — is provided in good faith for general use. While we make substantial efforts to keep information accurate, sourced and current (see our Editorial Policy), we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any content. Any reliance you place on it is strictly at your own risk.

3. Not Professional Advice

Nothing on the Site constitutes professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to engineering, gas-fitting, building-control, legal, medical, insurance, or financial advice. Reading this Site does not create a professional relationship between you and UpFuel. You should not rely on any content here as a substitute for advice from an appropriately qualified professional who has inspected your specific appliance, room and installation.

4. Figures, Standards and Jurisdiction

Our guides cite figures drawn from appliance standards, manufacturer instructions and safety authorities — for example ventilation openings, sulphur limits, alarm response thresholds, calorific values and emissions coefficients. These figures:

are typical or standard values, not measurements of your appliance;
may reflect US, UK or EU practice and may not apply where you live;
are subject to change as standards are revised; and
carry conditions. A figure quoted without the conditions attached to it can be actively dangerous. If you cite our material elsewhere, please carry those conditions with it.

We do not guarantee that any figure, standard reference or regulatory statement on the Site is current or applicable to your situation.

5. Products, Appliances and Suitability

Where we describe appliance types, certification marks or specifications, we are describing categories, not approving individual products. We do not certify, test to standard, inspect or approve any appliance, and nothing on the Site is a statement that a particular heater, stove, fuel or installation is safe or suitable for your room. Suitability depends on your specific space, ventilation, occupancy and local rules, which we cannot see.

6. Views, Age and Errors

Content may become outdated as standards, prices, regulations and best practice change. Although we strive for accuracy and correct errors promptly when they are reported, the Site may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions. We reserve the right to correct and update content at any time without prior notice, and we do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

If you find an error — especially in a safety figure — please tell us at editors@upfuel.online. We would rather be corrected than consistent.

7. External Links and Sources

The Site links to third-party websites, including government agencies, safety authorities, standards bodies and research organizations. We provide these links for verification and convenience. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, policies or availability of any third-party site. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement, and accessing third-party sites is done at your own risk.

8. Advertising Disclosure

The Site is supported by advertising, including ads served through Google AdSense and other advertising partners. Ads and any sponsored content are distinct from our editorial content. An advertisement appearing beside a guide is not a recommendation by UpFuel, and we do not control, endorse or take responsibility for the products, services or claims made in third-party advertisements. Any dealings you have with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser. We accept no payment for editorial coverage, placement or favourable treatment; see our Editorial Policy. For how advertising cookies and data are handled, see our Privacy Policy.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, UpFuel and its owners, operators, and contributors shall not be liable for any loss or damage — including without limitation indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive loss or damage, or damage to property, health or life — arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or inability to use the Site or any content, links or advertisements on it. The Site and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind.

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

10. Fair Use Notice

The Site may reference or quote copyrighted material in a limited way for purposes such as commentary, criticism, scholarship, research, and education, including references to published standards and safety guidance. We believe such use constitutes "fair use" under 17 U.S.C. § 107 of United States copyright law. If you are a rights holder and believe any such use exceeds fair use, please contact us at editors@upfuel.online or see our DMCA & Copyright Policy.

11. Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes to the Site or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will post the revised Disclaimer on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Disclaimer.
