Code of Conduct
From time to time we may provide interactive services on the site (such as message boards, forums, chat rooms, weblogs, profile pages, social networks, photo albums and other message and communication facilities), giving you the opportunity to submit your own Contributions to the site
We want all visitors to this site to have a safe, interesting and friendly experience. Accordingly, all users of the site and all Contributions must comply with this Code of Conduct.
The Code of Conduct applies to all users of, and visitors to, the site and supplements and forms part of the Website Terms. Your use of this site means that you accept and agree to abide by this Code of Conduct.
We may need to revise the Code of Conduct from time to time by amending this page. Please review this page regularly to ensure you are aware of any changes we make as they are legally binding on you.
All Contributions must comply with the following standards. Please comply with the spirit as well as the letter of these standards.
Contributions must NOT:
-
Include any material that does not belong to you. You may be entitled to incorporate into your Contribution certain material made available on this Site but only where that is expressly made clear. Otherwise, all material in your Contribution must be your own original work or be fully cleared for use by the owner or holder of the rights to the Contribution.

Contain unlawful or objectionable content. Material that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, obscene, offensive, abusive, hateful, inflammatory, profane, racially, sexually or religiously offensive or otherwise objectionable or unlawful is not acceptable.
-
Involve disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour. Contributions must be constructive and polite. They may not be contributed with the intention of invading anyone's privacy, of being threatening, abusive, offensive, upsetting or embarrassing or of causing trouble, annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety.
-
Promote illegal or anti-social behaviour. Contributions must not contain violent or sexually explicit material or advocate, promote or assist any unlawful act such as (by way of example only) terrorist acts, copyright infringement or computer misuse.
-
Misrepresent their origins. Contributions and/or user names may not be used to impersonate any other person, to misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or to give the impression that they emanate from us, if that is not the case.
If you reasonably believe that any Contribution contravenes this Code of Conduct and/or any of the Website Terms, please notify us using the "Report Abuse" button.
