Content standards

General Use of our website

We want all users to enjoy their use of our website and we promote free speech but with that comes a responsibility to respect others.

We ask that you comply with the spirit and the letter of the following standards.

Any content must be:

• accurate if it states facts that might be relied upon; and

• if you state opinions, these should be genuinely held.

You must ensure that nothing in your content:

• defames anyone;

• is obscene, offensive, hateful or inflammatory,

• promotes sexually explicit material, violence, illegal activity or unlawful discrimination;

• infringes any copyright, trade mark or other rights;

• have any fraudulent purpose or effect,

• is for marketing or promotional purposes;

• is likely to deceive, harass, alarm, annoy or invade the privacy of any person; or

• misrepresents your identity or affiliation with any person including us.

We do not endorse any content posted by you or another user and shall not be responsible for any comment or criticism made by a user of our website. During your use of our website you may be exposed to comments that are factually incorrect, offensive or otherwise objectionable to you and you agree to waive any legal or equitable right you may have against us with respect to these comments.

You agree that you are only entitled to use our website for non-commercial purposes as explained above. You give us a permanent unrestricted right to use your content so that we can broadcast it and re-use it for marketing and other purposes.

Our decision

It is for us to decide whether there has been a breach of our Content Standards through your use of our website

Interactive services

We may from time to time provide interactive services on our website.

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 how (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 website 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 light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our website, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in breach of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not fool proof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

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.

Changes to the acceptable use policy

We may revise these terms at any time by amending this page, so it is advisable that you check this page from time to time.
