By registering for the Part of Life Service, you agree to the terms of this Agreement, and you re-affirm that agreement every time you use it. Visitors to the Part of Life Service who do not register to become a Member (see 2 below) similarly affirm that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the Part of Life Service.

You will not be entitled to any refund of that fee. Your Membership will last for 6 months. If you wish to continue with Membership after the expiry of that 6 month period, we will enable you to do so, at our then-current terms and prices. But please note that we reserve the right to change the amount of the fee for the Membership, the period which it covers, the services which it enables you to obtain and other factors from time to time. However, these changes, unless they are changes under Clause 8 or Clause 9 below, will not affect your then-current level of Membership.

4. Registration. You undertake to register for the Part of Life Service using accurate and current information about yourself ? including your correct name, address and any other requested details. You also undertake only to add yourself to a workplace, address or club on the Part of Life Service which you attended at the relevant time.

We only provide a venue where the Part of Life Service may be accessed. In particular, you should be aware that Part of Life does not pre-screen or monitor the material contributed by Members.

7. Additional services. Part of Life or its affiliates may offer new or additional services through the Part of Life Service from time to time. Your use of those services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, or rules of use, which you must comply with. Provided that those terms or rules are notified to you on the Part of Life Service in an appropriate manner (as determined by Part of Life in its reasonable discretion), any failure by you to comply with a material provision of the terms or rules governing those services will amount to a breach of this Agreement.

8. Operation of Part of Life Services. Part of Life reserves the right to withdraw or modify one or more aspects of the Part of Life Service where we have legal or technical reasons to do so (including technical difficulties experienced by Part of Life or on the Internet).

We reserve the right (a) to suspend or terminate any Member?s access to the Part of Life Service, or parts of it, and/or (b) to edit, or require the Member to edit, material posted on the Part of Life Service, if the relevant Member or material appears to us to be in breach of any provision of this Agreement.

  • include an email address, postal address, phone number, the address of any website, or any other information which is intended to facilitate direct communication, in material which is posted on the Part of Life Service. Members, and the recipients of their emails, can share this information, should they wish, once direct contact has been made;

  • place material on, or otherwise use, the Part of Life Service for any business or commercial purpose; or

12. Prohibitions. You are responsible for ensuring that no material you post, or which is posted through a machine on which you access the Part of Life Service, nor any activity or communication you make in connection with any Part of Life Service, will be capable of (a) infringing the intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity, (b) breaching any applicable law, whether criminal, tortious or otherwise, or (c) appearing to be offensive, threatening, obscene, pornographic, false, unreliable or misleading.

13. Alerting Part of Life. If you see anything on the Part of Life Service which appears to infringe this Agreement, then please contact us to inform us of it by using the "Report Abuse" function, or by emailing us at abuse@partoflife.com. We do not generally monitor material contributed by Members before it is placed on the Part of Life Service, and so we are reliant upon users to point out any which infringes this Agreement.

14. Withdrawal of material and Termination of Membership. Each Member acknowledges that we are entitled to withdraw any material on the Part of Life Service which appears whether based on information received from Members or others, or our own determination to be capable of breaching any part of this Agreement, or to bring the Part of Life Service into disrepute. However, each user acknowledges that we do not monitor material which appears on the Part of Life Service, and that we are reliant upon you and all users to notify us of anything you see here which appears likely to breach this Agreement, using the notification techniques which are made available on the Part of Life Service.

15. Disclaimer and Release. Part of Life has no control over or responsibility for the truth or accuracy of any material available on the Part of Life Service, whether provided by Members or others.

  • If any third party sites are linked to from the Part of Life Service, this does not mean that we endorse or have any responsibility for the site in question or anything which appears on it.
  • You should exercise no lesser degree of caution in appraising what you see on the Part of Life Service than you do offline.

  • Your use of the Part of Life Service is entirely at your own risk.

Accordingly, to the extent that the law permits, you release Part of Life its directors, contractors and employees from all liability arising out of or in connection with the Part of Life Service and the material included here by Members and other third parties.

You acknowledge that all copyright, trade marks, and other intellectual property rights in and relating to the Part of Life Service (including the material which is contributed by Members) are owned by Part of Life.

By submitting any material to the content to the Part of Life Service, you:

  • are representing that you are fully entitled to do so;
  • grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-terminable licence right to copy, modify, distribute, show in public and create derivative works from that material in any form, anywhere; and
  • authorise us to adapt the relevant material in the course of doing so, and so waive your moral rights to object to any derogatory treatment, or to be identified as the author, of the material in question.

17. Excluded loss. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any indirect or consequential loss or damage, or for any loss of data, profit, revenue or business, howsoever caused (whether arising out of any negligence or breach of this Agreement or otherwise). Part of Life will also not be liable for any failure to perform of its obligations under this Agreement caused by matters beyond its reasonable control.

Without limiting the preceding Clause, during any period of twelve months, the aggregate liability of Part of Life under this Agreement (whether arising in negligence or otherwise) will not under any circumstances exceed the greater of (a) ?5, or (b) an amount equal to the sums paid by you to us by way of Full Membership fees during the relevant period of six months, regardless of the cause or form of action.

19. Non-excluded Liabilities. Nothing in this Agreement limits Part of Life's liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, or any other liability which may not by law be excluded. Any statutory rights you may have as a consumer remain unaffected.
