If you purchase Services or a Subscription from one of our Sites, our Terms of Business will also apply and are incorporated into these Terms.
We may revise these Terms at any time by amending this page. Please check this page from time to time for any changes, as they are binding on you upon your first use of the Site after the changes have been introduced. In the event of any conflict between the current version of these Terms and any previous version(s), the provisions that are current and in effect will prevail (unless it is expressly stated otherwise).
We may update our Sites from time to time, and may change the content and Services at any time. However, please note that any of the content on our Sites may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update them. We do not guarantee that our Sites, or any content on them, will be free from errors or omissions.
4.1 We do not guarantee that our Services, our Sites or any content on them will always be available or be uninterrupted. Access to our Sites is permitted on an “as is” temporary basis. We may suspend, withdraw, discontinue or change all or any part of our Sites or Services without notice. We will not be liable to you if either of our Sites are unavailable for any reason at any time or for any period.

4.3 You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access a Site through your internet connection are aware of these Terms and other applicable terms and conditions, and that they comply with them.
5.1 You must be at least 18 years old to use our Sites. Any registration by, use of, or access to a Site by persons under the age of 18 is unauthorised and is in breach of these Terms. In using our Site, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.

You agree not to adjust, to try to circumvent or delete any notices contained on the Site (including any intellectual property notices) and in particular in any digital rights or other security technology embedded or contained within the Site.
Any redistribution or reproduction of part or all of the contents in any form is prohibited other than the following:
8.1 Software may be made available for you to download in order to help a Site work better. You may only use such software if you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions that apply to such software (this is sometimes known as an ‘end user licence agreement’ or ‘EULA’). You will be made aware of any terms and conditions that apply to the software when you try to download it. If you do not accept such terms and conditions, you will not be allowed to download the software. You should read any terms and conditions carefully to protect your own interests (they may contain provisions that set out what your legal rights are under, e.g., the Consumer Rights Act 2015, what your legal responsibilities are when using software, what the software provider’s legal responsibilities are, and provisions that limit a software provider’s legal responsibilities to you).
8.2 Using the software in an unlawful way (such as reproducing or redistributing it in a way that breaches these Terms and any others that apply to it) is expressly prohibited and may result in civil and criminal penalties.
