Corrections Policy
Settler is dedicated to providing accurate and reliable information across all its content. Our readers trust us for insights into crafting bespoke lifestyles and luxurious living spaces. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of journalistic integrity and transparency.
This policy outlines our approach to correcting errors. We believe in taking responsibility for mistakes and ensuring that our published content remains trustworthy and factually correct.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy forms the foundation of Settler’s editorial process. We strive to verify all information before publication, from design trends to lifestyle recommendations. Despite our best efforts, errors can occasionally occur.
When an error is identified, we act swiftly to correct it. Our goal is to ensure that readers consistently receive precise and dependable information for their home and lifestyle choices.
Types of Corrections
We categorize errors into three main types, each with a different approach to correction:
Minor Fixes
These include small typographical errors, grammatical mistakes, broken links, or minor factual inaccuracies that do not change the core meaning or understanding of an article. Minor fixes are generally corrected without a formal note within the article.
Significant Corrections
Significant corrections apply to errors that materially affect a reader’s understanding of the content. This includes misstated facts, incorrect data, or misleading information about design concepts or lifestyle practices. Such corrections are clearly noted within the article.
Retractions
A retraction is a rare action taken when an article contains fundamental errors or false information that renders its entire premise invalid or misleading. In such cases, the article will be removed or significantly altered, accompanied by a full editor’s note explaining the retraction.
How Corrections Are Noted in Articles
For significant corrections, a clear editor’s note is added to the article. This note will appear at the top or bottom of the piece, explaining what was corrected, the date of the correction, and a brief description of the error.
For example, a note might read: “Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the material used for the kitchen countertop. It has been updated to reflect solid quartz. [Month Day, Year].” Retractions will feature a more extensive explanation.
How to Report an Error
We encourage our readers to help us maintain accuracy. If you believe you have found an error on Settler.ae, please contact our editorial team immediately. Your input helps us uphold our commitment to quality content.

Timeline for Reviewing Reported Errors
Our editorial team reviews all reported errors. We aim to acknowledge receipt of your report within 24 hours on business days. Our team then investigates the claim thoroughly.
We endeavor to verify the reported information and take appropriate action within 72 hours of receiving a valid report. Complex issues may require more time for full investigation and resolution.
Transparency About Correction History
Settler believes in full transparency regarding our corrections. All significant corrections are openly visible on the relevant article page itself.
We do not delete or hide articles that have been corrected or retracted. This approach ensures that our readers can see our commitment to accuracy and accountability over time.
