Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of Bright Homely (the “Site”), operated by Locals Talk Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”). By using the Site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.

1. About the Site and operator

Bright Homely is published by Locals Talk Limited, a private limited company registered in England and Wales (company number 09959535), with its registered office at 128 City Road, London EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. We publish editorial articles and guides about home energy, solar power, and related household topics for readers in the United Kingdom.

Content is for general information only. It is not tailored financial, legal, technical installation, or energy advice unless clearly stated.

2. Permitted use

You may view and print pages for personal, non-commercial use. You must not copy, scrape, or republish substantial parts of the Site without written permission; use the Site unlawfully; attempt unauthorised access; or misrepresent your affiliation with us.

3. Intellectual property

Text, layout, logos, and graphics are owned by or licensed to Locals Talk Limited and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Third-party photographs and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

4. Third-party links, partners, and advertising

The Site may link to energy suppliers, installers, comparison services, and other third parties. We do not control external websites. Some pages are advertorial or contain affiliate or referral links — we may receive compensation when you click through or purchase via a partner. Partner sites have their own terms and privacy policies. Sponsored and advertorial content is labelled where practicable.

When you complete a quiz or click a call-to-action button, you may be directed to a third-party service. That service is solely responsible for its offers, pricing, and data handling.

5. Accuracy

We aim to keep information accurate but do not warrant that content is complete, current, or error-free. Energy tariffs, grants, planning rules, and regulation change frequently. Verify details with MCS installers, your local planning authority, Ofgem, or official GOV.UK sources before acting.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by English law, we exclude liability for loss arising from use of the Site or reliance on its content, except where liability cannot be excluded by law (including death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud).

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Courts in England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to your statutory rights elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
