When you register, you are registering as a personal user of Equal-Works, with access to registration areas via your user name and password. We allow you access to the registration areas of the web site on the basis that:

your user name and password are personal to you and may not be used by anyone else to access Equal-Works

If, for any reason, we believe that you have not complied with these requirements, we may, at our discretion, cancel your access to the registration areas of Equal-Works immediately and without giving you any advance notice.

Users' e-mail addresses and other contact details will not be disclosed to any third parties without prior consent.

Acceptable use of the web site and content

In support of its promotion of equal opportunities and diversity, Tribal Education and Technology aims to promote wide-ranging, informed and intelligent discussion around issues relevant to Equal-Works users. We hope that users will wish to communicate with due consideration for others. Tribal will put as many of your comments and questions as possible during the course of the debate, but we cannot guarantee that all e-mails and comments will be published. Tribal Education and Technology reserves the right to edit comments that are published.

While the administrators and moderators of this discussion will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Users of the web site will acknowledge that all posts made to these discussions express the views and opinions of the user and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence that no liability will be accepted for these postings. Users of the web site agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned from Equal-Works debates. You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this site have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit.

if it contains contact information, e.g. phone numbers, postcodes, e-mail addresses, etc.
if it appears to impersonate or falsely claim to represent a person or organisation
if it contains swear words or is otherwise potentially offensive to other users.

Under these exceptional circumstances, we will remove a message from a debate:

if it is racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise potentially offensive to other users
if it is likely to incite hatred, disrupt, provoke, attack or offend others, or describe or encourage activities that could endanger the safety or wellbeing of others
if it contains swear words, hate language, obscene or vulgar comments or other language likely to offend
if it breaks the law or condones or encourages unlawful activity, such as potentially libellous or defamatory postings, condoning illegal activity, contempt of court or postings in potential breach of copyright
if it advertises products or services for profit or gain, though non-commercial web sites can be mentioned as long as they support a relevant comment
if the user appears to be impersonating or falsely claiming to represent a person or organisation
if it includes contact details such as phone numbers, postal or e-mail addresses that may be judged an invasion of privacy
if the content of the message is considered to be off-topic or irrelevant to the particular message board.
