or international law or regulation;

3 INTERACTIVE SERVICES
3.1 We may from time to time provide interactive services on
our site, including, without limitation chat rooms and bulletin
boards (“interactive services”).
3.2 Where we do provide any interactive service, we will
provide clear information to you about the kind of service
offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used
(including whether it is human or technical).
3.3 We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users
(and in particular, for children) from third parties when they
use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will
decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation
of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to
use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no
obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive
service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our
liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any
interactive service by a user in contravention of our content
standards, whether the service is moderated or not.
3.4 The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is
subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise
parents who permit their children to use an interactive service
that it is important that they communicate with their children
about their safety online, as moderation is not foolproof.
Minors who are using any interactive service should be made
aware of the potential risks to them.
3.5 Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will
normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator,
should a concern or difficulty arise.
