13 Content you upload or contribute
This section applies if our site contains features that allow you to upload, post, submit or contribute content, or to make contact with other users (“contributions”).

We are not responsible, and accept no liability, for any contribution posted by you or any other user. We are not obliged to store or maintain copies of your contributions and may delete them at any time.
14 Rules about linking to our site
You may link to our home page, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it. You must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement on our part where none exists.

In the event of such a breach, your right to use our site will cease immediately.
16 Which country’s laws apply to any dispute
These terms, their subject matter and their formation (and any non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by the law of England and Wales.
