Terms and Conditions

We operate the following 'good practice' adopted by publishers of magazines and websites:

1. Disclaimer of liability
All material on our websites and magazines are protected by copyright. They should not be reproduced without the permission of the publishers (Talkabout). All details are correct to the best of our knowledge. The publishers do not endorse or recommend any of the entries or advertisements in our magazines or websites unless otherwise stated. We advise you that make your own judgments, enquiries and comparisons as with any other form of advertising. When contacting any business, we suggest that you confirm the exact type of goods and services offered, the qualifications held and all other relevant aspects of the service which you are seeking.

Talkabout cannot accept liability for loss, damage or difficulties resulting from contacts made through the directory, from errors, omissions, from claims made by the advertisers or from omissions or inaccuracies relating to telephone numbers, wording, spacing or positioning of any listing, advertisements or other material regardless of how caused.

Where Talkabout prints editorial and/or advertisements submitted by third parties (either individuals or businesses), they contractually confirm that they have sourced and been granted ownership of (or rights to) any necessary intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis.

Talkabout operates written e-mail protocols which, inter alia, advise and warn our staff or contractors of the hazards of defamation and/or infringement of intellectual property rights on the Internet. Such protocols form part of employees contracts of employment.

Talkabout uses several ISP and Hosting providers for all of our IT activities. Any hosting, operation or maintenance by these third parties are independent to us, and we do not accept responsibility for their actions. However, either Talkabout and/or our web site host have procedures in force to immediately withdraw any material for whatever reason we see fit, and either Talkabout and/or our web site host have implemented (and maintain and update) procedures and/or programs designed to prevent or protect against unauthorised use or modification of or access to your computer and/or your web site.

3. Data control and risk management
Talkabout is registered with the Information Controller and keeps data on our clients in line with good practice and legal obligations of the data protection act.

Talkabout makes daily back-up copies of all our data, files or programs through our external IT support agency. Such backups are kept secure from unauthorised use or access.
