Interactive Services

We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site, including, without limitation:

Data and/or multimedia sharing facilities;
Chat rooms; and
Bulletin boards.

Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our 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.

Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.

Content Standards

These content standards apply to any and all material which you contribute to our site (each, a “Contribution”), and to any interactive services associated with it.

The content standards must be complied with in spirit as well as to the letter. The content standards apply to each part of any Contribution as well as to its whole.

BT will determine, in its discretion, whether a Contribution breaches the content standards.

A Contribution must:

Be accurate (where it states facts).
Be genuinely held (where it states opinions).
Comply with the law applicable in Ireland and in any country from which it is posted.

A Contribution must not:

Be defamatory of any person;

For the avoidance of doubt, for any Contribution in the form of video content:

You must not upload a video containing harmful material;
You must not upload a video containing advertising for any of the following:

GENERAL

Failure by us to enforce a right does not result in waiver of such right.

You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms

We may transfer these Terms to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights relating to the use of our site.

If a court finds part of these Terms illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
