In general, we will not tolerate any use of our website which damages or is likely to damage our reputation, the availability or integrity of our website or which causes us or threatens to cause us to incur any legal, tax or regulatory liability.
We want to make our website a safe and rewarding experience, so we have set out more detail on acceptable and unacceptable use below.
As you might expect, you may only use our website for lawful purposes. For example, you must not use our website:

Interactive services
We may from time to time provide interactive services on our website. If we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered.
We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our website, 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 website.
If we do decide to monitor or moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should you need to do so.
Our interactive services are not intended for use by children. Parents and guardians should not permit their children to use our interactive services, as these are only intended for use by businesses.
If you use our interactive services, you will also need to understand and comply with our content standards.

You also agree that we can use any content you contribute to our website whenever and wherever we think appropriate.
Our suspension and termination rights

5. Other things you need to know about our website
We take steps to ensure that all information we provide on our website about our products and services is correct and complete.
The content on our site is provided for general information only and does not amount to advice on which you should rely. We aim to update our website regularly, and may change the content at any time. If the need arises, we may suspend access to our website, or close it indefinitely.
We may display details of related third party products or services on our website, such as those of Sage developers. We take reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of the details provided but we do not endorse any third party products or services and you use them at your own risk. Where any third party product or service is certified by Sage or something similar, we will explain the context of that certification to help you make an informed decision about use of that product or service. Third party products and services remain the responsibility of the relevant third party and we will not be liable for any loss or damage which may arise as a result of your use of them.
Use of our website is free and we take steps to ensure it is available to all permitted users. From time to time we may restrict access to some or all parts of our website.

We also do not promise that your use of our website will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that our website and server will be free from attack (e.g. from viruses). We recommend that you use your own appropriate virus checking software.
Separate, limited promises which apply to Sage products and services sold through our website are set out in our Terms and Conditions of Supply and, if applicable, in any specific terms.

We may withhold our consent if we wish. If we do so, we will try to explain our reasons to you.
Our website includes links that allow you to leave our website and visit third party websites.
