It is a feature of the Sites that some of the Site Information is contributed to us by different third parties and we do not control those parties or their information. Opinions expressed within the Site Information are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent our opinions.
The Sites, like any other, are susceptible to cyber-squatting, spoofing and vandalism. We do not accept any responsibility for, nor liability in respect of any losses arising from, or information which appears on the Sites as a result of, such actions.
Where the operation of the Sites depends on the input of information by you, the service provided by us depends on, and varies according to, the accuracy of such inputted information. We can therefore accept no responsibility for, nor any liability in respect of, the input of inaccurate information to the Sites by you and/or any third parties.
In the unlikely event that you find any inaccurate information on the Sites or have any complaint about what we have published please email info@charteredbrands.controlx.co.uk. We will investigate on receipt and take such action which we, in our sole discretion, determine as being appropriate having regard to all the circumstances.
About the Internet, service interruption, viruses etc.
We and all other web publishers have no control over the Internet, which is a global public network of computers and the method by which you access the Sites. As a consequence and in common with most web publishers we take no responsibility for service interruption or the transmission of viruses or other malicious computer code through the Sites.
