8. Data Protection and Privacy
Full details of the way in which we use cookies on the Site and how we hold
and process information from which we can identify you or any third party are
set out in our Privacy and Cookie Policy.
9. E-commerce
Most of the online sales and other e-commerce services available via the Site
are provided either by us as an agent for third party suppliers or directly by
third parties via websites that are framed on the Site. For some goods and
services (such as the Crossword Society and Fantasy Football), however, we act
as principal meaning that the resulting legal contract for the goods or
services in question will be made directly between you and us. Where we act as
principal, specific terms and conditions will apply to any resulting online
sales and these will be drawn to your attention before the sale is complete.
Where we act as agent for third party suppliers or where we frame third party
websites, the following applies:
(1) the contract for the goods or services in question will be made directly
between you and the relevant supplier. In most cases this will mean that there
will be separate terms and conditions governing the contract as each supplier
will have its own terms and conditions relating to the supply of those goods
or services. Please make sure that you have read the relevant supplier's terms
and conditions before completing your transaction. You can obtain a copy of
the relevant supplier's terms and conditions by contacting the supplier
directly; and
(2) we have no contractual liability to you in respect of the goods or
services provided by the third party supplier. We may, however, still be
liable to you if we have been negligent, if we have misrepresented important
information or if we have been in breach of any other relevant law.
10. Third party links
The Site contains hypertext links to third party websites. We are not
responsible for, nor do we endorse in any way such third party websites or
their content. If you decide to access any of the third party websites linked
to the Site, you do so entirely at your own risk.
11. Advertising and Sponsorship
Parts of the Site contain advertising and sponsorship. Advertisers and
sponsors are solely responsible for ensuring that material submitted for
inclusion on the Site complies with all legal and regulatory requirements and
does not contain any material which is objectionable including, without limit,
information which is defamatory, obscene, threatening or untrue. We are not
responsible for any such material or any error or inaccuracy contained in such
material and any issues which you may have should be raised directly with the
relevant advertiser or sponsor.

please click here (separate terms and conditions apply).
Telegraph.co.uk contains contextual affiliate links from which we may
potential earn revenue. However, the content of our articles are never
influenced by advertisers or an affiliate, nor are they written for the
purpose of promoting a product.
12. Promotions, competitions and prize draws
From time to time we may run competitions, free prize draws and/or other
promotions on the Site. Any such competitions, prize draws and/or other
promotions will be subject to additional terms and conditions that will be
made available to you at the relevant time.

directly or indirectly as a result of:
