Interactive and hosting services

We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site, including, without limitation:

together, interactive services.

Where we do provide any interactive services, 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.

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.

Where we provide a service which enables you to upload documents or other data or information to an online Intelligent Data Room or remote server, you are responsible for ensuring that your use of the service, and the upload of any personal data, complies with all applicable data protection laws, including EU Regulation 2016/679 (the 'General Data Protection Regulation') and the UK Data Protection Act 2018. Whilst we process personal data in order to provide such service to you, you remain a controller of all personal data which is uploaded and processed using the service. For further information, please refer to our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service Provision (which are available when you login to the platform).

Content standards

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

The content standards must be complied with in spirit as well as to the letter. The standards apply to each part of any Contribution, as well as to its whole.

We will determine, in our discretion, whether a Contribution breaches the content standards.

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

Which country's laws apply to any disputes?

The terms of this policy, its subject matter and its formation (and any non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by English law. We both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
