  • deliver Print Content to the address nominated by you within timeframes and in the manner specified on our Website.

The following sub-clauses apply to this.

Access may be affected by our network or equipment capacity, connection availability, scheduled or unscheduled downtime for maintenance purposes or interruptions which generally affect the Internet. If interruptions or errors occur due to circumstances within our control, we will try to resolve them in a timely way in order to restore your access.

1.3. We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver Content to you within timeframes specified on our website, however such timeframes are estimate only and they may be affected by various factors outside of our control. The time is not of the essence in these Terms.

1.5. You agree that you will not exercise any other access to or intellectual property rights in the Website or the Content and that as between us and you, all intellectual property rights in the Website and the Content are solely owned by us. Without limiting that obligation, you will not:

  • disclose the Content to anyone else;
  • remove any information which gives notice of any person’s (including our) rights in the Website or Content;
  • create any database which includes, in whole or in part, Content made available by us;

This obligation includes an obligation not to allow any uses or disclosures of the Website or the Content to be made available which may result in an infringement of any person’s intellectual property rights; or
  • allow anything else to be done in respect of the Website or the Content which is not expressly permitted by these express clauses.
  • We collect the Content from a number of sources. While we require anyone who provides us with Content to agree that they are legally able to do this for the purpose of us providing you with access under these clauses, we cannot guarantee that such clearances in fact exist. You accept the risk of this. You also accept that on becoming aware that anything will do to make the Website or the Content available to you under these terms, or your access to the Website or the Content, may be contrary to any applicable law or may infringe anyone’s rights, we may terminate or suspend your access under these terms in whole or in part. We will tell you about this using the email address you have given us as soon as reasonably practicable.

1.6. We do not give you any assurances that the Content will be suitable for your purposes or that the Content will be error free. You agree that you will not rely on the Content or its availability and that any reliance you make will be on your own independent assessments with the aid of qualified independent advice where appropriate.

1.7. The Content may include links to websites other than ours or to content other than content developed by us. We will try to make all such links transparent to you, but otherwise the provisions set out in clause 1.6 apply to access to Content derived from sources other than us.

1.8. You accept that we may cease making parts of the Content available where that is appropriate in our reasonable commercial judgment (for example because it has become out of date, because there is some problem with it or because appropriate rights clearances have ceased or are not available).
