Access to my site is permitted on a temporary basis, and I reserve the right to withdraw or amend the service I provide on my site without notice (see below).

I will not be liable if for any reason my site is unavailable at any time or for any period.

From time to time, access to some parts of my site, or my entire site, might be restricted to users who have registered with me. If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of my security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party.

I have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by me, at any time, if in my opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms of use. When using my site, you must comply with the provisions of my acceptable use policy. You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to my site. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access my site through your internet connection are aware of these terms, and that they comply with them.

You may link to my home page, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage my reputation or take advantage of it, but you must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement on my part where none exists.

You must not establish a link from any website that is not owned by you. My site must not be framed on any other site, nor may you create a link to any part of my site other than the home page. I reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice. The website from which you are linking must comply in all respects with the content standards set out in my acceptable use policy. If you wish to make any use of material on my site other than that set out above, please get in touch.

Links from my site

Jurisdiction and applicable law

The English courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any claim arising from, or related to, a visit to my site although I retain the right to bring proceedings against you for breach of these conditions in your country of residence or any other relevant country.

These terms of use and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.
