3.3 Some parts of the site (for example, discussion boards) enable third parties to publish material without our explicit consent.  You acknowledge and accept that we do not control or endorse posted material in any way.  Please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

7.1 If we are liable to you for any reason, our liability will be limited to £5.  (This limit does not apply to any liability we may have for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or for our fraudulent misrepresentation.)  In view of the fact that we provide the site free of charge, you agree that this limit is reasonable. 

8 Websites linked to ours and external links

8.1 We outsource some of the services provided on the site, which means those services will be provided to you by another organisation.  It is important to distinguish between outsourced services (for which we take some responsibility) from links between our services and all other services provided by third parties, for which we take no responsibility.

9.3 Except in respect of a payment obligation, neither you nor us will be held liable for any failure to perform any obligation due to causes beyond your or our respective reasonable control.

9.4 Failure or delay by either party enforcing an obligation or exercising a right under these terms and conditions does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.

9.5 English law applies to these terms and conditions, notwithstanding the jurisdiction where you are based.  It is agreed that the courts of England have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of, under or in connection with these terms and conditions.  The place of contractual performance and commission of tort by you or us is England.
