We may from time to time provide interactive services on our site, including, without limitation:
· Review Boards
· Notice Boards
· Event Blogs.
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).
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.
The use of any of our interactive services by a child under the age of 16 years (but over the age of 13 only) 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 fool proof. Those under the age of 16 years but over the age of 13 years who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.
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.
These content standards apply to any and all material which you contribute to our GingeLand Online Properties (Contribution), and to any interactive services associated with it.
The Content Standards must be complied with in spirit as well as to the letter. The standards apply to each part of any Contribution as well as to its whole.
GingeLand Limited will determine, in its discretion, whether a Contribution breaches the Content Standards.

· Contain any non-event driven local advertising or promote any services or web links to other sites or applications that are not directly associated to a live event on the Mobile App.
When we consider that a breach of this acceptable use policy has occurred, we may take such action as we deem appropriate.
