We reserve the right to remove any user content that is offensive, off-topic or inappropriate. If a user continues to post inappropriate content they may be banned from accessing our pages.

We also ask users to consider the content of the information they are intending to share before they upload it to our social media pages. Once it has been uploaded, the content will be in the public domain. You know the saying “once online, always online”. Users should check their personal social media profile settings to protect their identity and personal information.

Any information or material placed online by users, including advice and opinions, is the view and responsibility of those users and does not necessarily represent the views of Elm Communications. Don’t worry we will let you know if we disagree – that is what a good debate is all about.

Links to external websites, social media profiles, videos or images are provided for convenience and reference. These sites and their content are not under the control of Elm Communications. The inclusion of any link or reference does not always imply endorsement of that website, service or person. We are not responsible for the information or accuracy of external sites and are not liable for any loss or inconvenience arising from their use.

Basically, just use social media responsibly!
