Scope
These terms govern use of birdcagemate.com and its content. By using the site, you agree to follow these terms, the Privacy Notice and applicable law.
The operator is Máté Hajdu, a private individual; contact: birdcagemate@gmail.com.
Nature of the website and professional enquiries
BirdcageMate is a personal, independent editorial and educational website that also presents the operator’s professional work and potential professional collaborations. It is operated on a non-commercial basis and currently offers no paid service.
The professional formats shown on the website are informational. The site is not an online shop, provides no ordering or online payment, and browsing or sending an email does not by itself create a contract.
Editorial information
Content is prepared with care, but no unlimited guarantee is given as to completeness, currency or absence of error. Vintages, availability, prices, events and third-party information may change.
Content does not replace individual professional advice. Users remain responsible for their own decisions and use of the information.
Alcoholic beverages
The website discusses Champagne and other alcoholic beverages and is primarily intended for adults of legal drinking age. It does not target minors, encourage excessive consumption, or associate drinking with social or professional success, health, driving or enhanced performance.
Drink responsibly, observe local law and never drink and drive.
Commercial communication and influencer transparency
Brand and product content currently published is independent editorial content. The operator has received no payment, gift, discount, invitation, travel or other benefit for it.
If future content involves monetary or in-kind consideration, a business relationship, invitation, gifted product, discount, travel, affiliate arrangement or another benefit, its commercial nature and the identity of the commercial partner will be:
- disclosed prominently and clearly at the beginning of the content;
- stated in the same language as the content;
- identified in text as well as through any platform paid-partnership tool;
- kept visible throughout the relevant commercial part of video where needed;
- made equally clear if the operator promotes a paid service in the future; and
- identified where materially AI-generated or altered content is relevant to understanding it.
Paid advertising for alcoholic beverages will not be placed on the website’s home page. Commercial content will not target minors, encourage excessive consumption, or associate alcohol with driving, health, enhanced performance, or social or professional success.
Likeness, personality rights and photographs
As a rule, consent is required to make and use an image or audio recording of an identifiable person. Statutory exceptions may include crowd images and public appearances. A GDPR legal basis does not replace this civil-law permission.
Permission from the person depicted and a copyright licence from the photographer or other rights holder are separate requirements. Rights notices and removal requests may be sent to birdcagemate@gmail.com.
Copyright and permitted use
BirdcageMate’s original texts, photographs, graphics, videos, presentations and compilation are protected by copyright. A short quotation may be used with credit to the author and BirdcageMate, plus a link to the original page.
Copying or republishing a full article, photo series, presentation, video or substantial part, or adapting, commercially using or compiling it into a database requires prior written permission. Contact: birdcagemate@gmail.com.
Third-party sites and trade marks
External links are provided for convenience and source attribution. The operator does not control third-party content, availability or privacy practices and is not responsible for them.
Brand names, bottles, labels and trade marks belong to their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply official representation or endorsement unless expressly stated.
Liability and contact
To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for indirect loss arising from use of the site, temporary unavailability, a third-party service failure or decisions based on editorial information.
If you believe content is unlawful, inaccurate or infringes your rights, email birdcagemate@gmail.com. We will review the notice within a reasonable time.
Governing law and changes
Hungarian law governs these terms. Mandatory consumer rights and applicable conflict-of-law rules remain unaffected.
These terms may be updated when the site or legal environment changes. The current version and effective date will always be published here.
