Terms and conditions

You agree to use this site only for lawful purposes, and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of, the site by anyone else. That includes conduct which is unlawful, or which may harass or cause distress or inconvenience to any person, and the transmission of obscene or offensive content or disruption of the normal flow of discussion.

You must not post or transmit via this website any unlawful, defamatory, obscene, offensive or scandalous material, or any material that constitutes or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offence or give rise to civil liability. We will co-operate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court order lawfully requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting such material.

Some parts of the site require a Wonkhe account. When you create one, you agree to provide accurate information about yourself and your organisation, and to keep it up to date. Sign-in codes are sent to your email address – you are responsible for keeping access to that inbox, and your signed-in sessions, secure.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, misrepresent an affiliation, or are used to circumvent subscription access. Commenting from your account is additionally governed by our moderation policy.

Access to subscriber-only content and services is governed by the agreement between Wonkhe and the subscribing organisation, and your entitlements are checked against your account. Unless your subscription agreement says otherwise, access is for the use of eligible individuals at the subscribing organisation – you must not share sign-in access, or systematically copy, redistribute or republish subscriber-only content outside your organisation.

User-submitted material on this website – such as comments – is the copyright of its author. By submitting material, you grant this website and the publishers of documents via this service a non-exclusive right to reproduce, edit, publish and broadcast it. You are not prevented from reusing your own material elsewhere, and you may not reproduce other users’ submitted material without their explicit permission.

Most of the material featured on this website is subject to copyright protection. Material published by Wonkhe is generally copyright Wonkhe unless otherwise specified – where material is being republished or issued to others, the source and copyright status should be acknowledged.

Information published by government organisations is generally subject to Crown copyright; details are available from The National Archives.

Links on this website lead to other websites which are not under our control. We are not responsible for the content of any linked site; listing and linking should not be taken as endorsement of any kind, and we accept no liability in respect of linked content. We cannot guarantee that links will work all of the time and have no control over the availability of linked pages.

This website contains information contributed by a wide range of individuals and organisations, so we offer no warranties that information published here is accurate or up to date. It does not constitute legal or other professional advice.
