Welcome to Hillv.com. By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These terms govern your use of our website and form a legal agreement between you and Rellis Group Ltd. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must not use this website.

1. About Us

Hillv.com is operated by Rellis Group Ltd, trading under the TB Licence of Codevisory, with its registered address at Carnation Lane, PO Box 12054, Grand Cayman, KY1-1010. Our UK office is located at Whiteoaks Court, Davids Lane, Ivybridge, Devon, England PL21 0DW. We provide content for informational and entertainment purposes, targeting readers primarily in the United Kingdom but we welcome and offer content to readers internationally.

2. Content

All content on Hillv.com, including articles, blog posts, guides, and other materials, is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. This includes our coverage of technology, search engine optimisation (SEO), current affairs, business, marketing, music, entertainment, sport, and lifestyle. While we aim to ensure our content is accurate and up-to-date, we make no representations or warranties, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, products, services, or related graphics on the website for any purpose. Any reliance you place on such information is at your own risk.

3. Advertising and Sponsored Content

Hillv.com features advertising and sponsored content to support our operations. Such content is clearly marked as "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" to distinguish it from our editorial material. We comply with UK advertising standards, including those set by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), and maintain editorial independence. The inclusion of sponsored content does not influence our editorial opinions, reviews, or content decisions.

4. Affiliate Links

Some links on Hillv.com are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click on them and make a purchase. These links are clearly identified as affiliate links where they appear. We only promote products or services we believe are valuable to our readers, and our editorial content remains independent of these affiliate partnerships. This disclosure aligns with UK regulations and search engine guidelines, such as Google’s requirements for transparency.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on Hillv.com, unless otherwise stated, is owned by or licensed to Rellis Group Ltd and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, or otherwise use our content without our prior written permission, except you may share links to our articles on social media or other platforms, provided you give appropriate credit to Hillv.com and do not alter the content. Any unauthorised use may violate applicable laws and result in legal action.

6. User Conduct

You agree to use Hillv.com responsibly and lawfully. You must not:

• Use the website for any illegal, unethical, or harmful purpose;
• Attempt to interfere with the website’s operation, including introducing viruses or malicious code;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or networks;
• Engage in any activity that infringes the rights of others or disrupts other users’ experience.

We reserve the right to take appropriate action, including blocking access, if you breach these terms.

7. Disclaimer of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Rellis Group Ltd shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of Hillv.com or reliance on its content. This includes, but is not limited to, direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, such as loss of profits, data, or other intangible losses, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.

8. External Links

Hillv.com may include links to external websites not operated by us. We have no control over the content, nature, or availability of these sites and are not responsible for them. The presence of a link does not imply our endorsement or recommendation of the linked site, its content, or its operators. Accessing external links is at your own risk.

9. Data Privacy, Cookies, and Your Choices

Rellis Group Ltd is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK data protection laws. We do not directly collect or store personal information or payment details through Hillv.com. However, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyse traffic, personalise content, and serve relevant advertisements.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (e.g., computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites function efficiently, improve user experience, and provide insights to site owners.

How We Use Cookies

We use the following types of cookies on Hillv.com:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the website to function, such as enabling navigation and access to secure areas. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
• Analytics/Performance Cookies: Allow us to measure visitor numbers and understand how you use the site (e.g., which pages you visit). We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data to improve our website.
• Functionality Cookies: Enhance your experience by remembering preferences (e.g., language or region) on return visits.
• Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Track your browsing habits to display relevant ads. These may be set by us or third-party partners (e.g., advertising networks) and may share data with those partners for advertising purposes.

By using Hillv.com, you consent to our use of these cookies as outlined. However, consent for non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics, functionality, and targeting) should ideally be explicit under GDPR. We assume a separate cookie consent mechanism (e.g., a banner) is in place, as this is best practice, but these terms inform you of their use.

Your Choices Regarding Cookies

You can manage cookies through your browser settings at any time:

• Block all cookies or specific types (e.g., third-party cookies);
• Delete existing cookies from your device;
• Set your browser to notify you before cookies are placed.

Blocking cookies may limit some features of Hillv.com. For detailed instructions, visit All About Cookies. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For interest-based advertising, visit the Your Online Choices site, provided by the Internet Advertising Bureau UK, to manage preferences.

Your GDPR Rights

Under GDPR, you have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing, and data portability. As we do not collect personal data directly (beyond cookies, which are managed as above), these rights may have limited application. However, if you have concerns about data processed via cookies or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us at paul@codevisory.com.

10. Accessibility

We are committed to ensuring Hillv.com is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. If you encounter accessibility barriers, please contact us and we will work to assist you.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of Hillv.com will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction provide otherwise. If you are a consumer residing outside England and Wales, you may also benefit from local legal protections that cannot be overridden by this clause.

12. Changes to These Terms and Conditions

We may update these Terms and Conditions at any time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or website features. Updates will be posted on this page with an effective date. Your continued use of Hillv.com after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
