of those services (the "Services"), and (ii) all content appearing on, or made
available to you via, the Site including, but not limited to, Press Release
Content, photographs, graphics, images, captions attached to any photographs,
graphics or images and any other text (the "Content") and the manner in which
the Content is presented or appears on, or is made available to you via, the

the case may be. Nothing in these terms and conditions shall be construed as
conferring any licence or right under any trademark or patent of the Press Bureau or any other third
party.
3. The Services and the Content are for your personal use only
unless you are accessing the Site in the course of or as part of your business
in which case those parts of the Content relevant to the business of the
organisation in and for which you are working when accessing the Site may be
disseminated/made available to relevant personnel within such organisation for
information purposes only - for the avoidance of doubt, this excludes
dissemination of the Content: (i) as a whole within such organisation, or (ii)
in part on any Intranet within such organisation or in any other internal
publication disseminated/made available throughout such organisation.
4.
The Content published in the ‘Live Press Releases’ section of the Site (“Press
Release Content”) comprises press releases and publicity material (including all
text, data, graphics and images that form part of such material) made available
by third parties to the Press Bureau for
distribution. In addition to the permitted use of Content set out in paragraph 3
above, journalists, researchers and analysts may use the Press Release Content
for information purposes and/or as source material for the creation of their own
news, research and editorial content only.
5. Except as expressly set out
in paragraph 3 and, in relation to Press Release Content only, paragraph 4
above, the Services and the Content may not be used or stored for any purpose,
or reproduced or distributed, except with the express written permission of the
Press Bureau and subject to any terms and
conditions imposed by the Press
Bureau on such use including, but not limited to, you giving prior
written notice to the Press Bureau of
the intended use of the Content (together with such other information as to such
use the Press Bureau may reasonably
require) and paying the appropriate copyright and/or usage fee to the Press Bureau. In addition, you may not, without
the express written permission of the Press
Bureau: (i) include any link from any other web site or Internet service
to all or any part of the Site, the Services or the Content except for a link
from any other web site/Internet service to the home page of the Site, or (ii)
amend, edit, frame or modify (as the case may be) all or any part of the Site,
the Services or the Content.
6. While every effort is made to ensure the
availability and accuracy of the Services and the Content, the Press Bureau does not warrant the
availability of the Services or the Content or that the Services or the Content
will be error free, and the Press
Bureau accepts no responsibility for any use made of the Services or
any of the Content and shall not be liable for any loss suffered thereby (except
for direct loss suffered by you to the extent arising out of the Press Bureau's negligence or wilful default) to
the fullest extent that the Press
Bureau may exclude or limit such liability at law. In any event, the
Press Bureau will not be liable to
you for any failures, interruptions, delays or other matters of a similar nature
arising out of circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
7. You
acknowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights in certain software, services
and other information forming part of the Services and the Content respectively
are the property of third parties, and agree to be bound by any restrictions
imposed by such third parties and to ensure that, where appropriate, copyright
and/or other arrangements are made directly with such third parties.
8.
The Site may contain links to various web sites that are operated by third
parties over whom the Press
Bureau has no control. The Press
Bureau therefore does not make any representation - and does not
accept any liability - in respect of the content, products or services available
from such web sites, or the business of such third parties. Any dealings with
advertisers and merchants accessed using the Site shall be entirely at your own
risk.
9. The licence granted to you by the Press Bureau to use the Site, the Services
and/or the Content will automatically terminate if you breach any of these terms
and conditions.
10. Any details which you provide to the Press Bureau from which the Press Bureau can identify you will be held
and processed in accordance with the Press
Bureau's registration under the Data Protection Act 1998. Further details
are set out in our Privacy Policy below.
11. Save in respect of any
fraudulent pre-contractual misrepresentation, these terms and conditions
constitute the entire agreement between you and the Press Bureau, and shall be governed by English
law. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
