Last updated: 11 September 2026
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of themadhoneyguide.com (the “Website”). By using the Website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Website.
Who we are
The Mad Honey Guide is an independent editorial publication providing evidence-led information about mad honey, including its origins, science, safety, culture, history, and legal status.
In these Terms, “The Mad Honey Guide”, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean [legal name / operating entity], the organisation responsible for operating the Website.
Our editorial purpose
The Website exists to make complex information about mad honey clearer, more accessible, and more accountable. We publish articles, guides, explainers, and source-led commentary for general information and educational purposes.
We do not sell mad honey or related products. We do not recommend sellers, shops, marketplaces, brands, or private suppliers. We do not publish dosing instructions or provide personalised guidance on using mad honey.
Our editorial policies, corrections process, disclosure information, and sourcing standards form part of how we work, but they do not create a guarantee that every item on the Website will always be complete, current, or suitable for every reader’s circumstances.
Not medical, legal, or professional advice
Nothing on this Website is medical advice, legal advice, diagnostic advice, or a substitute for professional care.
Mad honey may contain grayanotoxins and can cause serious illness. Information about symptoms, risks, emergency care, regulation, travel, or product claims is provided for general education only. It must not be used to assess an individual, decide whether a product is safe, delay medical care, or replace advice from a clinician, poison centre, lawyer, customs authority, or other qualified professional.
If someone is unwell after consuming mad honey, contact your local emergency service, poison centre, or healthcare professional. Do not rely on this Website in an emergency.
Accuracy and updates
We take care to research, source, and review our content. However, research develops, laws change, public-health guidance changes, and information can become incomplete or outdated.
We do not guarantee that the Website will always be accurate, complete, current, available, or free from errors. You are responsible for checking important information with an appropriate primary or professional source before relying on it.
Where we identify a material error, clarification, or substantive update, we aim to amend the relevant page and record the change in our Corrections Log. Minor editorial changes, such as spelling, formatting, link repairs, or updates that do not alter meaning, may not be logged.
Legal and regulatory information
Articles discussing legality, import rules, customs requirements, food standards, labelling, or advertising claims are general guides, not legal advice. Rules can vary by country, region, product type, import route, quantity, and intended use. They may also change without notice.
A product being available online, delivered across a border, described as “natural”, or sold by a retailer does not prove that it is lawful, compliant, authentic, or safe. You are responsible for confirming the rules that apply to you with the relevant authority or a qualified legal professional.
Acceptable use
You may use the Website for lawful, personal, and non-commercial purposes. You must not use it in a way that interferes with the Website, harms other users, infringes another person’s rights, or violates applicable law.
You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its servers, databases, user accounts, or connected systems. You must not introduce viruses, malware, harmful code, or any material intended to damage, disrupt, overload, or compromise the Website.
You must not use automated tools, scraping software, bots, or similar methods to extract substantial amounts of content from the Website without our written permission, except where permitted by applicable law.

Unless stated otherwise, the Website’s original text, design, layout, graphics, logos, databases, and editorial materials are owned by or licensed to The Mad Honey Guide and are protected by copyright, trade mark, and other intellectual-property laws.

You must not present our work as your own, remove credits, reproduce substantial parts of the Website, create a misleading association with us, or use our name or branding to imply endorsement without written permission.
Some photographs, illustrations, data, quotations, and other materials may belong to third parties. Their use may be subject to separate rights, licences, or permissions. You are responsible for obtaining permission before reusing any material where permission is required.
Linking to and from the Website
You may link to publicly available pages on the Website in a fair and lawful way. You must not frame our pages, misrepresent your relationship with us, or imply that we endorse you, your organisation, or your products.
The Website may link to external websites, research papers, public authorities, and other resources for context or evidence. These links are provided for convenience and do not mean that we endorse, control, or accept responsibility for external content, products, services, privacy practices, or availability.
Reader messages, corrections, and submissions
We welcome corrections, source material, and editorial enquiries. If you send us a message, you confirm that you have the right to share its contents with us.
Please do not send confidential, commercially sensitive, medically sensitive, unlawful, abusive, defamatory, or infringing material. We may use information submitted through correction reports or editorial correspondence to investigate an issue, improve an article, reply to you, or maintain an editorial record.
Submitting an idea, pitch, source, or correction does not create a professional, editorial, employment, or contractual relationship with us. We are not obliged to publish, respond to, compensate, return, or keep confidential unsolicited material unless we separately agree to this in writing.
Availability and changes
We may change, suspend, remove, or restrict any part of the Website at any time. We may update these Terms when our editorial practices, technology, services, or legal obligations change.
