Terms & Conditions
Please read this carefully because it sets out the terms of a legally binding agreement between you and Batterymons. These terms also apply if you subscribe to receive the Batterymons Newsletter.
1. Introduction
This page sets out the terms and conditions on which you may use Batterymons and the content/services available on the site (which we call “Batterymons Content”). We only make these terms and conditions available in the English language.
In these terms we use the term “Batterymons” to refer to our website at batterymons and our other mobile and online digital apps and services.
Except where we state otherwise in Section 4, references in these terms and conditions to “Batterymons” (or “we”, “us” or “our”) refer to the company operating Batterymons. See Section 9 below for our corporate information.
2. Access and Use
Our ability to invest in high-quality journalism depends on our users complying with this Section 2. Please read our Copyright Policy that summarises how you are allowed to use the Batterymons Content and provides guidance on the types of use we do not permit without the purchase of additional licences from Batterymons. You agree that you will comply with our Copyright Policy.
Organisations that may be using Batterymons Content without the appropriate permissions may approach us with a view to discussing the purchase of a licence to legitimize that use.
3. Privacy Policy and Registration
All information received by us from your use of Batterymons will be used by Batterymons in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please read this for details of how we may process your personal data.
You are responsible for all use of Batterymons made by you or anyone else using your ID and for preventing unauthorised use of your ID. If you believe there has been any breach of security such as the disclosure or unauthorised use of your ID or any payment information, you must notify Batterymons immediately by e-mailing us at hello@Batterymons.
If you provide Batterymons with an email address that will result in any messages Batterymons may send you being sent to you via a network or device operated or owned by a third party (e.g. your employer or college) then you promise that you are entitled to receive those messages. You also agree that Batterymons may stop sending messages to you without notifying you.
4. User-Generated Content
Batterymons may include comments sections, blogs and other interactive features that allow interaction between users and between users and Batterymons editors. We call these “User Generated Content” or “UGC”.
You will retain ownership of the copyright in any of your UGC that you or we publish on Batterymons so you are free to re-use it as you wish. You agree that if you post UGC then you are granting Batterymons a right (but not an obligation) unlimited in time to publish, re-use, archive, modify, delete or commercially exploit that UGC in whole or in part as we see fit, whether on Batterymons or otherwise, without any requirement to pay you for this and with or without attribution to you. This means that you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use any UGC you publish in whole or in part in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever and without further obligation to you. You also waive any moral rights that you may have in regard to the UGC.
You are responsible for all the content of any of your UGC that you or we publish. You are financially responsible to us for any claim against us by any third party that your UGC is not in accordance with the bullet points below or that otherwise relates to your UGC.
You agree that you will:
only publish UGC that is your original content and will not infringe the copyright or other rights of any third party when publishing UGC.
not post, link to or otherwise publish any UGC containing any form of advertising or promotion for goods and services or any spam or other forms of unsolicited communication.
not post, link to or otherwise publish any UGC with recommendations to buy or not buy a particular share or other investment or which contain confidential information of another party or which otherwise have the purpose of affecting the price or value of any share or other investment.
not post, link to or otherwise publish any UGC that is threatening, offensive, libellous, indecent or otherwise unlawful.
not post comments that are discriminatory in nature, for example, comments which make attacks on the grounds of race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.
respectfully challenge different points of view but not personally attack other commentators.
not disguise the origin of any UGC and not impersonate any person or entity (including Batterymons employees or guests or hosts) or misrepresent any connection with any person or entity.
not post or otherwise publish any UGC unrelated to Batterymons or the Batterymons’s topic.
not post or transmit any UGC that contains software viruses, files or code designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of Batterymons or any computer software or equipment.
not collect or store other users’ personal data.
not restrict or inhibit any other user from using Batterymons.
Batterymons contain UGC submitted by users over whom Batterymons has no control so we cannot therefore guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any UGC. Some users may not behave properly and may post UGC that is misleading, untrue or offensive.
It is not possible for Batterymons to fully monitor all UGC published on Batterymons but where we have actually received notice of any UGC that is potentially misleading, untrue, offensive, unlawful, infringes third party rights or is potentially in breach of these terms and conditions, then we will review that UGC, decide whether to remove it from Batterymons and act accordingly. This may include banning a user from participation in UGC on Batterymons.
Our moderation and community team may contact you from time to time regarding your comments. Comments, including those made under a pseudonym, can be linked to your Batterymons account by Batterymons.
If you believe that any UGC published on Batterymons infringes any legal rights that you may have or is not allowed under these terms and conditions, please notify us immediately with specific details by contacting us.
5. Third Party Sites and Services
Batterymons may contain links to other Internet websites or online and mobile services provided by independent third parties, including websites of our advertisers and sponsors (what we call “Third Party Sites”), either directly or through frames. Third Party Sites may be co-branded with Batterymons and so include Batterymons’s trade marks.
It is your decision whether you purchase or use any third party products or services made available on or via Third Party Sites and you should read Section 6 below carefully. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to Third Party Sites.
