Terms of use

Be sure to read these terms of use alongside our community guidelines and the privacy policy.

Introduction

We want Whatever to be fun, interesting and easy to use. It is a site where 13 to 19 years olds in Southwark can find out what's happening in the borough and take part in the online community.

But to take part, you need to be responsible for what you do. So please read these terms of use carefully.

By using whtvr.org you agree to these terms of use and our privacy policy and any changes we make to them. We may revise them at any time. Headings and bold text placed in brackets found in the terms of use are included for ease of reference only and don't affect the interpretation of this agreement.

Under 16s

If you are aged under 16, please get your parent or guardian's permission before you provide personal information to whtvr.org. Users without this consent are not allowed to provide us with personal information.

Content

You agree not to add any content that

• Is false or misleading (no lies allowed!)

• Invades another's privacy or is harassing (don't be mean!)

• Promotes bigotry, racism, hatred or harm towards any group or individual (don't be prejudiced!)

• Is obscene (nothing rude!)

• Infringes another's rights, including, but not limited to intellectual property rights (don't post another person's work when you don't have permission)

• Acts as spam (don't send a bunch of emails to people when they don't ask for them)

Licence for use

By uploading content, information or material to Whatever, you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such rights has expressly granted) Southwark Council a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, transmit and distribute such content, only to the extent necessary for the purpose of displaying the same on the Whatever website. In other words, all the content you upload becomes owned by us.

In addition, you waive all so-called moral rights in those materials. This means that you give Southwark Council permission to display the things you post on Whatever so that others can see them.

Inappropriate content

While we want Whatever to be a safe and fun environment, you understand and agree that Southwark Council is under no obligation to monitor Whatever. Southwark Council will, however, investigate complaints that are brought to its attention concerning inappropriate use of Whatever which contravene this terms of use statement.

You agree that Southwark Council may at any time, at its sole discretion

• Remove content, information or material from Whatever

• Make changes to or discontinue any and all aspects of Whatever

Passwords and security

Don't give your password to anyone else! You are responsible for keeping your Whatever password secret. So you are fully responsible for everything that happens under your password. You need to notify Southwark Council immediately if your password gets used without your permission.

To be safe, don't leave your computer while you are logged in and always logout of your account as soon as you finish using Whatever.
