This Acceptable Use Policy is an integral part of the Terms & Conditions between you and EPLACID, governing your access to and use of the Site. This policy applies to all users and visitors of the Site. By using the Site, you acknowledge that you accept the terms of this Acceptable Use Policy and agree to adhere to them. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, you must refrain from using the Site.

any part of our Site; any equipment or network on which our Site is stored; any software used in the provision of our Site; or any equipment, network, or software owned or used by any third party.

Interactive Services We may, from time to time, provide interactive services on the Site, including:

Chat rooms. Bulletin boards. Competition voting pages. Open workspace areas. Blog articles. Business guidance with Q&A facilities. Project Pitching & Communication ("Interactive Services")

When we provide an interactive service, we will offer clear information about the type of service offered, whether it is moderated, and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

We will make our best efforts to assess any potential risks for users from third parties when they engage with any interactive service provided on the Site. We will determine, in each case, whether it is appropriate to use moderation for the relevant service (including the type of moderation to be used) based on those risks. However, we are not obligated to oversee, monitor, or moderate any interactive service we provide on the Site, and we expressly disclaim any liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service to communicate with their children about online safety, as moderation is not foolproof. Minors using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

Where we moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide a means for you to contact the moderator should any concerns or difficulties arise.
