ukexpert user agreement

Becoming a ukexpert registered member is free of charge!     It allows you to use ukexpert as a Free Registered Guest Member, and to upload messages and photographs and take part in many aspects of this great online community.  

We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies contained in this brief user agreement.  If you agree to these terms, please click on the Agree box at the end of the page, and then click on Register. Please do not skip reading this user agreement, it is very short, and it is of course always important to read agreements that you make.

Members must be aged 18 or over and by clicking Agree you declare that you are over the age of 18.  

The system will ask you for an email address, to be accepted this must be an address that is not with one of the anonymous email address providers, such as Hotmail, Lycos, Yahoo, Google Mail, etc.    Your email address is not normally shown to other members.   The email address given to you by your Broadband provider is usually the best to use and the most likely to be accepted.   A confirmation email will be sent to the address you give, so that you may click on it to complete your registration.

Although the administrators and moderators of ukexpert.co.uk will attempt to keep all objectionable material off this system, it is impossible for us to review all messages and images.  All messages express the views of their author.  You agree that you take full responsibility for all material that you post, and that you will meet any costs incurred due to legal actions relating to your use of the system, or to material that you upload.  ukexpert is based in England, and English law applies. 

By clicking the Agree box, you warrant that you will not post any messages or photographs that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, harassing, threatening, or that otherwise violate any laws.  The operators of ukexpert.co.uk may of course remove any message or image or member access at any time for any reason and without explanation.  They may also of course edit, move, or decide to start, continue, or cease to display any uploaded material as they please. 

Please note that ukexpert is building a collection of quality photographs in its photos and videos area.  If you submit photos to us for inclusion in the system/collection then please help ensure they get released for viewing by not uploading any poor quality images, nor small cut down versions of photos, nor ones with names or other information included on them.  It is also very helpful to others viewing the photos if you complete the description field, so please always do.  All descriptions and photo names should be in English.   The system currently accepts photos and videos from new members of up to 8 megabytes in file size per photo/video/image.  (You can later arrange to upload even larger photographs by becoming a subscriber if you wish).

By submitting images and messages and other material to ukexpert.co.uk you warrant that you are the copyright owner and that you grant ukexpert.co.uk permanent copyright ownership equal to your own for all materials uploaded.  This includes a permanent right for ukexpert.co.uk and its associated systems and companies to make use of them in any way they see fit, including but not limited to use in advertising and promotional material.   This means you can continue to do as you please with your photos and messages and other materials uploaded but by adding these items to the ukexpert collection/system you are granting ukexpert the right to also do as it pleases with all content submitted to the system.  You agree that any material uploaded to the system or created on it, including but not limited to photographs, messages, and user IDs,  may be retained as the property of ukexpert.co.uk   

This User Agreement may be updated from time to time and you agree to be bound by the current version at all times.  To check for the latest version log out of the system and then use the Register button to view this page.  You may of course cease using the system at any time if you wish, this does not of course affect material already uploaded.  There is normally no user option to delete or remove photographs, messages, ukexpert user names, or other material from the system once created or uploaded.  The system operates on an 'as is' basis and no warranties or guarantees of any sort are given or implied.  

After getting all of that out of the way, do enjoy using the system and we hope that you make lots of new friends here, and welcome aboard!  - and welcome to one of the longest established online communities in the World, well over 2 decades and counting...!
