Additional Terms of Service
1.
ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
Welcome to Yahoo! UK & Ireland. Yahoo! UK Limited (“Yahoo!”) provides its service to you, subject to the following Terms
of Service (“TOS”), which may be updated by Yahoo! from time to time without notice to you. You should review the TOS
periodically for changes at: http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/info/terms.html.
In addition, when using particular Yahoo! services, you and Yahoo! shall be subject to any guidelines and rules applicable
to such services which may be posted by Yahoo! from time to time. All such guides and rules are hereby incorporated by
reference into the TOS. In most cases the guides and rules are specific to a particular part of the Service and will assist you
in applying the TOS to that part, but to the extent of any inconsistency between the TOS and any guide or rule, the TOS will
prevail. Yahoo! may also offer services from time to time that are governed by other terms of service. In such cases the other
terms of service will be posted on the relevant service to which they apply.
2.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Yahoo! currently provides users with access to a rich collection of on-line resources, including, various communications
tools, online forums, shopping services, personalised content and branded programming through its network of properties
(the “Service”). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including
the release of new Yahoo! properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You acknowledge and agree that the Service is provided
“AS IS” and that Yahoo! assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user
communications or personalisation settings.
In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access
web-based content, and pay any service and/or telephony fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide
all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access
device. Please be aware that Yahoo! has created certain areas on the Service that contain adult or mature content. You must
be at least 18 years of age to access and view such areas.
3.
YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS AND SUPERVISING CHILDREN
In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about
yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form (such information being the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and
promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is
untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Yahoo! has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue,
inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Yahoo! has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all
current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).
Yahoo! is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. For this reason, parents who wish to
allow their children access to the Service should assist them in setting up any relevant accounts and supervise their access
to the Service. By allowing your child access to the Service, they will be able to access all of the Services including, email,
message boards, groups, instant messages and chat (among others). Please remember that the Service is designed to appeal
to a broad audience. Accordingly, as the legal guardian, it is your responsibility to determine whether any of the Services
and/or Content (as defined in Section 6 below) are appropriate for your child.
