(Such use is contrary to our terms and conditions and, if notified, we will of course, take steps to resolve any such infringements that may occur.) We may not hold the Intellectual Property Rights of all content, photographs, drawings, or cartoons that may appear (with permission) on the Site.

You confirm that any materials, messages, content or information (“User Content”) (other than personal data) which you submit to us via this Site are non confidential and non-proprietary and do not infringe the Intellectual Property Rights or other rights of a third party.
 
By submitting or posting User Content to any part of the Site you grant to us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, modify, translate, make available, distribute and sub-license that User Content in whole or in part and in any form or media. In addition, you grant any other user of the Site permission to use that User Content on similar terms to those set out in the ‘Use of Content’ section above.

User Content should be legal, decent, proper and relevant. Your submission of User Content should facilitate other users’ use of the Site and contribute to the smooth running of the Site and its supporting systems. By way of example (and without limiting your obligations) and in order to minimise the risk of legal claims against you:
  • You must not post or publish offensive or abusive language or materials on the Site. Neither may you use the Site to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate or infringe the legal rights of others (such as rights of privacy and publicity).

Accuracy
 
The information presented is for information purposes only. We seek to ensure as far as we can that all material on this Site is accurate and up to date. However, while we take steps to ensure the validation of some material on the Site, it is impractical to verify every last detail. Indeed, the Site is explicitly intended as a community to debate and push forward the role of business in society, so it is to be expected that different users will have different views and opinions about certain subjects. We also want to ensure that information that users may wish to consider and comment upon is available on the Site as soon as possible.
 
As a result, content is provided without any warranty and it is your responsibility to consider and confirm whether any information is suitable for your purposes.
 
Where you have information or opinion that contradicts what is shown on the Site, please share that with us. We will then take steps to address any factual inaccuracies and/or to extend the debate.
