Introduction and Disclaimer

INTRODUCTION AND DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES

On this site you will find a small but significant collection of Victorian prose works, mainly by Matthew Arnold, Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde but also by several other authors.

Please excuse the brusque tone of the legal language below, but the projected scope of this site makes it necessary to include such language here and in every electronic text viewable on and/or downloadable from this web.

[1] I DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING LEGAL FEES, AND

[2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

[3] THE E-TEXTS ON THIS SITE ARE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS." NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS TO THE E-TEXTS OR ANY MEDIUM THEY MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

[4] Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you may have other legal rights.

Remarks about the purpose of e-texts: Although the electronic texts I provide are as reliable as I can make them, it is possible that they may contain some errors of transcription or omission. The texts I provide are intended as easily available and searchable supplements to standard scholarly editions, not as replacements for those scholarly editions. Those who are writing a scholarly article, book, or dissertation should use standard hard-copy editions.

In fairness to the original publishers, if still extant: I must advise viewers that those publishers are in no way connected with or responsible for the contents of any material provided on this web. Any errors in the editions available directly from this site are solely mine. When I provide detailed information about the editions used in scanning and proofing my online versions, I do so because scholars find such information valuable. It should be understood that even a facsimile-like PDF (Portable Document Format) version of a given text is not a facsimile or copy in the traditional sense; it must be carefully formatted and proofread just as text in any other format would.

All these legal statements duly made, I hope that you find my online versions useful in forming new ideas about the Victorian Era and a valuable, reliable addition to your collection of electronic texts.
