|

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.
|
|

|
|
purpose of promoting a product.

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
|
