Interactive services
We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site, such as Chat rooms, Bulletin boards etc (“interactive
services”).
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 foolproof. Minors who are
using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.
