Rookipedia publishes general information for beginners. It is not professional advice, and it is not a substitute for someone qualified looking at your particular situation.

General

We write these guides carefully and we test what we describe, but we cannot guarantee that everything is accurate, complete, or current. Products change, prices move, software updates, and what worked for us may not work for you.

You use this information at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from acting on anything published here.

Health and wellbeing

We are not medical professionals and nothing on this site is medical advice.

Where we write about wellbeing, we cover habits, routines, and equipment — not diagnosis, treatment, supplements, or dosage. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read here. If you have a health condition, are pregnant, take medication, or are starting new physical activity, speak to a doctor first. In an emergency, contact your local emergency service.

Money and finance

We are not financial advisers and nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.

Where we write about money, we explain how things work mechanically — what a fee is, how a product is structured, what a term means. We do not recommend investments, products, or providers, and we are not regulated to do so. Investments can fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you put in. Before making a financial decision, speak to a qualified, regulated adviser in your own country.

Safety, tools, and DIY

Some hobbies and repairs involve real hazards — electricity, gas, heat, chemicals, sharp tools, heights, or water. Our guides assume basic care and are not a substitute for proper training.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and your local regulations, use appropriate protective equipment, and hire a licensed professional for anything involving mains electricity, gas, structural work, or vehicle safety systems. If a job feels beyond you, it probably is — that is a reasonable conclusion, not a failure.

Prices and availability

Costs quoted on this site were checked on the date shown on each article and are usually in euros unless stated. Prices, specifications, taxes, shipping, and availability vary by country and change without notice. Always confirm the current details with the retailer before buying.

External links

We link to other websites for your convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, products, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

Results

Where we describe what happened when we tried something, that is our experience only. Your results will differ — different equipment, different conditions, different starting point. Nothing here is a promise of any particular outcome.
