Interactive services and moderation

We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site, including, without limitation, chat rooms and bulletin / message boards (“interactive services”).

Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

Further, unless otherwise expressly specified, all of the interactive services provided on our site are not moderated. We will not be responsible as author, editor or publisher of any contributions (as defined below) submitted to any of our interactive services and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of the interactive services by any person in contravention of this policy. We reserve the right to promptly remove, or to disable access to, any contributions which we deem to be potentially defamatory of any person, unlawful or in violation of any third party rights.

Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.

Content standards

These content standards apply to any and all material which you contribute to our site (“contributions”), and to any interactive services associated with it.

Contributions must:

  • Comply with applicable law in the UK and in any country from which they are posted.

Contributions must not:

Use of interactive services by minors

The use of any of the interactive services provided on our site (from time to time and if any) by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use any interactive services that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online. Minors who are using interactive services should be made aware of the potential risks to them, the fact that moderation (if any) is not foolproof and of their obligation to comply with this acceptable use policy when using interactive services.

We will do our best to assess any possible risks to minors from third parties when they use interactive services, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks.

Suspension and termination

We will determine, in our discretion, whether there has been a breach of this acceptable use policy through your use of our site. When a breach of this policy has occurred, we may take such action as we deem appropriate.

Failure to comply with this acceptable use policy constitutes a material breach of the terms of use upon which you are permitted to use our site, and may result in our taking all or any of the following actions:

  • Immediate, temporary or permanent withdrawal of your right to use our site.

  • Immediate, temporary or permanent removal of any posting or material uploaded by you to our site.

  • Issue of a warning to you.

  • Legal proceedings against you for reimbursement of all costs on an indemnity basis (including, but not limited to, reasonable administrative and legal costs) resulting from the breach.

  • Further legal action against you.

  • Disclosure of such information to law enforcement authorities as we reasonably feel is necessary.

We exclude liability for actions taken in response to breaches of this acceptable use policy. The responses described in this policy are not limited, and we may take any other action we reasonably deem appropriate.
