This Statement details the Terms & Conditions WYGU has with our users and any parties who partner or interact with us in anyway. By using or accessing the site, you agree with the Terms & Conditions stated here.

 

 

1 - Definitions & Enforcement 

 

1. The term WYGU and the use of the words ‘us’ and ‘we’ refers to WYGU Limited and the services and site we provide under this brand.
2. If any portion of this Statement is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect.
3. If we do not enforce or overlook aspects of this this Statement, it will not be considered a waiver.
4. Nothing in this Statement shall prevent us from complying with the law.
5. This Statement makes up the entire agreement between the parties regarding WYGU and will supersede any prior agreements.
6. You will comply with all applicable laws when using or accessing WYGU.

 

 

2 - Privacy

 

1. Your privacy is of the utmost importance to us, as reflected by our Privacy Policy. We recommend you read the policy to see how we collect and use your information so you can chose exactly what you want to share.

 

 

3 - Sharing Your Content and Information

With the exception of the WYGUpedia, you own all of the content and information you post on WYGU and you can control the manner in which it is shared through your Privacy Settings. In addition:

  

1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos ("IP content"), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your own personal Privacy settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with WYGU (“IP licence"). This IP licence ends when you delete your content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
3. When you publish content or information using the "Everyone" setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of WYGU, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
4. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about WYGU, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
5. Use of the WYGUpedia is bound by the terms of this Statement and by your own Privacy settings. WYGU cannot be held responsible for any of the content contained within the WYGUpedia but we will fully investigate any causes for complaint such as misuse or abuse of copyright.

 

 

4 - Safety and User Interests

We do our best to keep WYGU safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments:

 

1. You will not sign up to the site if you are under 14 years of age – this action is prohibited and blocked
2. You will not send or otherwise post unauthorised commercial communications (such as spam) on WYGU.
3. You will not upload or post deliberately inaccurate, abusive or offensive content to the WYGUpedia.
4. You will not collect users' content or information, or otherwise access WYGU using automated means (such as harvesting bots, robots, spiders, or scrapers) without our permission.
5. You will not engage in unlawful multi-level marketing, such as a pyramid scheme, on WYGU.
6. You will not upload viruses or other malicious or disruptive code.
7. You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else.
8. You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.

13. You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of this Statement.

 

 

5 - Data Integrity and Security

WYGU exists to bring real value to our community of users and as such users must provide their real names and information. It is also a site that relies upon your contribution of accurate and worthwhile content and we hope that you, as responsible users, will support us in this objective and in the process facilitate an essentially self governing community. The principles that support this and ensure the security of your account are:

 

1. You will not provide any false personal information on WYGU, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.

7. You will not use your details, profile or any other mechanism to promote, market or engage in any commercial practices or activity beyond those offered as a service within the WYGU.
8. You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.
9. You will not share your password or let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardise the security of your account or the WYGU site.
10. You will not transfer your account (including any page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.
11. If you select a username for your account we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name).

 

 

6 - Protecting Other People's Rights

We respect other people's rights, and require you to do the same.

 

1. You will not post content or take any action on WYGU that infringes or violates someone else's rights, IP, or otherwise violates the law.

4. If you repeatedly infringe other people's intellectual property rights, we will disable your account when appropriate.
5. You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including WYGU, WYGUpedia, and W Logos, PSR, Personal Social Responsibility), or any confusingly similar marks, without our written permission.
6. If you collect information from users, you will: obtain their consent, make it clear you (and not WYGU) are the one collecting their information, and post a privacy policy explaining what information you collect and how you will use it.
