Skills for Security does not make any charge for you to access the Site. However, you should be aware that your Internet Service Provider and/or telephone operator may charge you for time spent accessing the Site in the same way that you are charged for making telephone calls. You should contact your operator if you require details of these charges.

By submitting messages to any Forum you agree to indemnify and hold harmless SFS from all claims, costs and expenses (including legal expenses) arising out of any Messages posted or published by you that are in breach of this section. The Forums contain Messages submitted by users over whom SFS has no control. SFS cannot guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of any Messages. Some users may breach these terms and post Messages that are misleading, untrue or offensive. You must bear all risk associated with your use of the Forum and should not rely on Messages in making (or refraining from making) any specific decisions.

SFS staff (who will be clearly identified as such) will also contribute material to the Forums in order to stimulate discussions and ensure the smooth running of the Forums. The Forums may also contain messages from special guests selected by SFS. The opinions of those SFS staff and special guests are their own and are not necessarily endorsed by SFS.

By submitting Messages to any Forums you are granting SFS a perpetual royalty free non-exclusive licence to reproduce, modify, translate, make available, distribute and sub-license the Message in whole or in part and in any form. This may include personal information such as your user name and alias and your expressions of opinion. Skills for Security reserves the right to contact you by e-mail with regard to your use of the Forums.

It is not possible for SFS to fully and effectively monitor when Messages infringe the copyright of a third party or other third party rights. If you believe that a Message infringes any legal rights that you may have, you should notify SFS immediately by contacting info
