We make no promise that the Sites are appropriate or available for use in locations outside of the UK. If you choose to access the Sites from locations outside the UK, you acknowledge you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws where they apply.

As a condition of your use of the Sites, you agree not to:

Site Access, registration and password security

Use of the Sites may require registration, particularly in order to access restricted areas of the Sites.

We are not obliged to permit anyone to register with the Sites and we may refuse, terminate or suspend registration to anyone at any time.

We shall provide you with a user ID and password to enable you to access certain parts of the Sites, for example our customer portal or other content or services. You must ensure that that user ID and password is kept secure and confidential. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur through the use of your user ID or password.

If we have reason to believe there is likely to be a breach of security or misuse of the Sites through your account or the use of your password, we may notify you and require you to change your password, or we may suspend or terminate your account.

In certain circumstances we may give you the ability to create further user IDs to enable other individuals to access certain parts of the Sites. You are responsible for checking the identity of those individuals and we accept no responsibility for any misuse of the user IDs created by you, or for the misuse of the Sites accessed by such user IDs.

Access to the Sites may be terminated at any time by us without notice. These Terms will nevertheless survive any such termination.

We will use reasonable efforts to:

delete accounts which are being used in an inappropriate manner or in breach of these Terms; and

identify and remove any content that is inappropriate, defamatory, infringes intellectual property rights or is otherwise in breach of these Terms

when we are notified, but we cannot be responsible if you have failed to provide us with the relevant information.

Your privacy and personal information

Your privacy and personal information are important to us.
