Terms and Conditions of Use

Terms & Conditions:

By using the NatureSpot web site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site. We may need to change these Terms of Use from time to time. If you disagree with a change to the Terms, do not use the site.

NatureSpot is a registered charity and this site, and all material contributed to it, will only be used to support its educational and charitable objectives.

When you use the NatureSpot web site, you create and upload content – for instance, wildlife observations, photos of nature, your descriptions of it, and messages to the forums. By putting this information on the site, you are saying that:
(a) the content is yours, or you have the permission of the owner to agree to this usage, and
(b) you agree for us to use it on the site and for any other educational and non-commercial use. NatureSpot may allow its partners to also use this material for educational and non-commercial purposes. In legal terms, you are granting us a non-exclusive license to the material.
Your content remains yours, including your photos and the text you type.

All of the information you upload to the site, with the exceptions described below, is available to everyone who uses the site. By putting personal information on the site, you agree to it being available in this way. You can change or delete your personal information yourself at any time, by editing your profile.

The first exception is your email address. We store this so that we can operate the site and contact you when we need to about the site or the records, images and comments you have submitted. We will never pass it on to anyone for marketing purposes.

The second exception is your IP address, a number which identifies the computer you use to access the site. We store this in order to track usage of the site, and monitor abuse of the site.

We will not make your email address or IP address available to anyone outside the team operating the site, unless required to by law.

We use Google Analytics on the site, which captures information about the use of the site, to help us monitor and improve it. None of the information captured by Google Analytics is personally-identifiable information - i.e., nothing that can identify you as an individual is stored.

We want the NatureSpot web site to be an open and safe place. We want the site to be a safe and enjoyable place for people of all ages, including children. If you are under 16, you should have your parent or guardian's permission to use the site, and talk to them about staying safe online.

If you see anything on the site that contravenes these Terms or you believe is inappropriate, please contact us.

We strongly suggest that you do not post any information, other than at registration, that would enable you to be contacted personally, such as your home address, telephone number (landline or mobile) or email address. If you are under 16, you may not post this information to the site at all.

People learn best when they feel secure and supported. We want the site to feel like that. So please make every effort you can to be friendly and to help and support other people on the site. If you see people being less than helpful, encourage them gently to help out.

There are some things, however, that are not acceptable on the NatureSpot web site. You may not use the site for any unlawful purpose, or to infringe the rights of others on the site. You may not use it to harass, distress, or inconvenience anyone. You may not post information that is abusive, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise offensive or objectionable. You may not use the site for advertising or for promotion.

If you see something on the NatureSpot site that is not acceptable, please report it to us.

The rights in material uploaded by users to the site are owned by those users. You may use their material on the site, but may not use it for any other purpose unless the owner of the material grants you that right.

For all other material, including the content and design of the site other than user-contributed material, all rights are owned or controlled for these purposes by NatureSpot. 

We will do our best to continue to provide the site, to make sure that all users abide by these terms, and to make sure that the site is safe to use. However, we can't guarantee this.

In legal terms, we exclude any warranty, express or implied, as to the quality, accuracy, timeliness, completeness, performance, fitness for a particular purpose of the web site or any of its contents. We will not be liable for any damages (including without limitation damages for loss of profit, revenue or anticipated savings) arising in contract, tort or otherwise from the use of or inability to use the web site or any of its contents or from any action taken (or refrained from being taken) as a result of using the web site or any such contents. We make no warranty that the contents of the web site are free from infection by viruses or anything else which has contaminating or destructive properties.
