Please review these terms (the “Agreement”) carefully. By accessing or using the Subscription Services offered by Post Local News Ltd. (“Post Local News”, “we” or “us”), you are confirming that you have read, understand and accept this Agreement. This Agreement can be updated from time to time as set out in Section 37 below. You are responsible for regularly reviewing the most current version of this Agreement, though we will notify you of any changes that, in our sole discretion, materially impact this Agreement. Continued use of the Subscription Services after any such changes have been made will constitute your consent to such changes. When we change this Agreement, we will update the “Last Modified” date above.
This Agreement applies to the “Subscription Services”, which are services that you access or purchase through our website or mobile applications, as further defined below. Other terms may also apply to your use of the Subscription Services, such as the Acceptable Use Rules.
By using our Subscription Services, you confirm that:
A. You will only use our Subscription Services for business and professional reasons;
B. You are at least 18 years old or otherwise able to enter into a legally binding agreement;
C. You accept and will comply with this Agreement;
D. If you are using our Subscription Services as a representative of an organisation, you have the power to enter into legally binding agreements for the organisation; and
E. You are responsible for anyone that uses our Subscription Services through your account, such as your employees, consultants or contractors (“Authorised Users”).
Post Local News Terminology
1. We use capitalisation for terms that have a special meaning in this Agreement. While some terms are defined elsewhere, this section sets out the definitions of some key terms.
“Content” is a generic term that means all information and data (such as text, images, photos, videos, audio and documents) in any format that is uploaded to, downloaded from or appears on our Subscription Services.
“Customer Content” is Content that you or your Authorised Users provide to us, or upload to our Subscription Services.
“Mentions” are the Content that a third party (in other words, someone other than you, your Authorised Users or Post Local News) creates and that we obtain on your behalf and at your instruction from Social Networks or other Third-Party Services that you connect to our Subscription Services. For example, posts created by your followers that appear on your Facebook page would be considered Mentions.
“Subscription Services” means our websites, such as www.post-localnews.com (and all its current and future subdomains), and mobile applications, and any services that you access or purchase through our websites or mobile applications.
“Third-Party Services” are services that are not provided by Post Local News but that you may access or use in connection with our Subscription Services. They include the “Social Networks”, which are the social networking sites supported by our Subscription Services (such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Youtube, Google Business, LinkedIn and Instagram).
“you”, “your”, “Customer”, and similar terms mean the person or legal entity accessing or using the Subscription Services. For the avoidance of doubt, if you are accessing and using the Subscription Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, “you”, “your” or “Customer” means the company or other legal entity that you are using the Subscription Services on behalf of.
Post Local News’s Subscription Services
2. Subject to the rest of this Agreement, we will allow you and your Authorised Users to access and use our Subscription Services in the way set out in the plan you subscribed to. You may not use or access the Subscription Services in any other way, such as using robots, spiders, crawlers and scraping technologies.
3. Our Subscription Services evolve constantly. We may change our Subscription Services, such as by changing, adding or removing features at any time, for any reason. We may or may not provide notice of those changes to you. We will not be liable to you or any third party for the modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of any of our Subscription Services.
4. Our Subscription Services interact with Social Networks and depend on the availability of those Social Networks and the features and functionality they make available to us, which we do not control and may change without notice. If at any time a Social Network stops making some or all of its features or functionality available to us, or available to us on reasonable terms as determined by Post Local News in its sole discretion (each an “API Change”), we may stop providing access to those features or functionality and we will not be liable to you or any third party for any such change.
Acceptable Use Rules
5. You and any Authorised Users using your account must comply with the Acceptable Use Rules and all laws. If we reasonably believe that you have breached the Acceptable Use Rules or any applicable law, we may, at any time and without notice, remove any of your Content and suspend, restrict or terminate your account or your access to the Subscription Services.
Customer Content
6. You are solely responsible for Customer Content. We may, but do not have to, review, filter, block or remove Content, including Customer Content.
Submitted Content
7. If you use the Subscription Services for contests or otherwise ask people to submit Content through the Subscription Services (“Submitted Content”), you acknowledge and agree that:
(A) the Subscription Services do not help you comply with any laws, rules, or regulations that may apply to your collection or use of Submitted Content, which is solely your responsibility; and
(B) we will not be liable to you or any third party for the Submitted Content, and we make no warranty that any Submitted Content obtained or displayed through the Subscription Services is accurate or complete.
Account Information
8. You are responsible for the completeness, security, confidentiality and accuracy of the account information you provide to us. You will promptly notify us of any unauthorised access to or use of your log-in credentials or account.
Content and Third-Party Services
9. We are not responsible for Content provided by others, including Mentions and Content from Third-Party Services (such as Content from Social Networks and Content in apps from the App Directory). You and anyone else who accesses our Subscription Services may access Content that might be unlawful, offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise inappropriate. We will not be liable to you or any third party for Content provided by others.
10. If you access or purchase a Third-Party Service through our Subscription Services, you do so at your own risk. Your relationship with the Third-Party Service provider is an agreement between you and them. You specifically understand that we are not responsible for Third-Party Services and will not be liable to you or any third party for any losses or damages resulting from your use of Third-Party Services.
11. If you access or enable a Third-Party Service, you grant them permission to access or otherwise process your data as required for the operation of the Third-Party Service. We are not responsible for disclosure, use, change to or deletion of your data and will not be liable to you or any third party for access to your data by a Third-Party Service.
12. We may, but do not have to, preview, verify, flag, modify, filter, block or remove Third-Party Services. You must comply with all agreements and other legal requirements that apply to Third-Party Services.
Privacy & Data Protection.
13. We may collect certain information about you and individuals associated with you, such as your employees, in connection with your use of the Subscription Services. This includes account information, usage data, and customer support questions as further described in our privacy policy (PRIVACY POLICY).
Confidentiality
14. If we share non-public information about Post Local News or our Subscription Services with you, you must keep it confidential and use reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorised disclosure of or access to that information.
Intellectual Property
15. Customer Content. You retain your rights to any Customer Content you submit, post or display on or through the Subscription Services. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub licensable, royalty-free license to use, host, run, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, translate, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute Customer Content for the purposes of providing, supporting, enhancing, and developing our products and services.
16. Feedback. We welcome your suggestions, comments, bug reports, feature requests or other feedback (“Feedback”). We do not have to keep Feedback confidential, even if you tell us it is confidential. If you provide Feedback, you grant Post Local News a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sub licensable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use the Feedback for any purpose.
17. Subscription Services. We keep all rights and interests in our Subscription Services. The Subscription Services contain Content owned or licensed by Post Local News (“Post Local News Content”). Post Local News Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and, as between you and Post Local News, we own and retain all rights in the Subscription Services and in any Post Local News Content.
Payment Terms, Trials and Renewal
18. Fees and Trials. You must pay all fees for the Subscription Services you purchase, except for Subscription Services that we expressly offer free of charge. If you sign up for a free trial of a paid Subscription Service, we may require you to provide a valid credit card or other payment method. We will charge you automatically on the first day after the free trial is over, unless you cancel or downgrade to a charge-free service and uninstall any paid apps before the end of the free-trial period.
19. Paid Services. The Post Local News Online Payment Terms apply to your purchase of any paid Subscription Services.
These payment terms apply to any of Post Local News’s subscriptions you purchase through our website (the “Paid Services”). These payment terms form part of our broader terms of service. If you see an undefined term here, it has the same definition as in (the “Terms”).
Payment for Paid Services. For Paid Services, you must provide us with a valid credit card or other form of electronic payment (such as PayPal). We will automatically charge you based on your chosen plan (monthly or yearly). We will share your account information with financial institutions and payment processing companies, including your submitted payment information, to process your purchase.
Terms; Prices; Payment Methods. Subscription to our plans are for fixed terms, and the associated fees payable for Paid Services are non-refundable. Prices for Paid Services are subject to change on 30 days’ notice, provided that no price change will apply during your then-current subscription term (monthly or annual as applicable). Depending on where you live, foreign exchange fees or differences in prices may apply, including because of exchange rates. We do not support all payment methods, currencies or locations for payment. If the payment method you use is no longer valid (such as a credit card that has expired) and you do not edit your payment information or cancel or downgrade your account to a plan that is free of charge, you authorize us to keep billing you for our Paid Services and you remain responsible for uncollected amounts.
Unpaid Fees. If you owe us any unpaid fees, we may suspend your access to our Paid Services without prior notice until you pay us in full. Your obligation to pay fees continues through to the end of the period (monthly or annual as applicable) in which you cancel or downgrade your plan.
20. Auto-Renewal of Subscription Services. Subscription Services plans will renew automatically at the end of the term (which may be monthly or annually, depending on the plan you chose when you purchased our Subscription Services), and we will automatically bill you on renewal unless you cancel or downgrade our Subscription Services under Section 22 below.
21. Taxes. You are responsible for paying all taxes on all fees that you pay to us. Local taxes may differ based on your payment method.
Cancellation and Termination of Subscription Services
22. You may cancel or downgrade your Subscription Services plan at any time. If you cancel (or downgrade) paid Subscription Services, you must continue to pay for the rest of your plan term and you are not entitled to a refund.
23. We may refuse to provide service (including the Subscription Services) to anyone for any reason at any time. We may also immediately suspend or terminate your access to our Subscription Services for any reason, at any time, without notifying you in advance. If we terminate this Agreement because you violated the Acceptable Use Rules or any other part of this Agreement, you will not receive a refund. If we terminate your access to the Subscription Services under this section for no reason, we will refund you for the Subscription Services you have not yet received.
Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
24. We offer our Subscription Services “as is” and are not making any warranties, conditions, representations or guarantees of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including all express or implied warranties of design, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quality and non-infringement, that our Subscription Services will meet your requirements or that our Subscription Services will always be available, accessible, uninterrupted, timely, secure, accurate, complete or error-free. Use our Subscription Services at your own risk. You hereby release us and our affiliates and the directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors and service providers of Post Local News and our affiliates (the “Post Local News Parties”) from any claims, known or unknown, you have against them.
25. We will not be liable for indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, or for loss of profits, goodwill or data or other intangible losses, that result from the use of, or inability to use, our Subscription Services or any other aspect of this Agreement. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any Third-Party Services, Social Networks or activities of third parties, any connection to or transmission from the Internet, or for any damage, loss or injury resulting from hacking, tampering, theft or other unauthorised access to or use of our Subscription Services or your account or the information contained in your account, including Customer Content.
26. Our aggregate liability to you for all losses or damages arising out of this Agreement or your use of our Subscription Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such losses, will not exceed the greater of the fees we received from you for our Subscription Services that are subject to the claim during the three-month period immediately preceding the date on which the damages arose and GBP£100. The limitations of liability in this section also apply to the Post Local News Parties and to claims brought based on any cause of action, including breach of contract, tort (including negligence), statute or other legal or equitable theory. If there is a law that limits how the limitation of liability in this section applies to you, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
27. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from us or elsewhere will create any warranty or condition not expressly stated in this Agreement.
28. Our prices are set based on limitations of liability and the disclaimers of warranties in this section. You acknowledge that they will survive and apply even if found to have failed their essential purpose.
29. If you are dissatisfied with our Subscription Services or believe that you’ve been harmed by your use of our Subscription Services or this Agreement, you may terminate your use of our Subscription Services (as set out above). That termination is your sole and exclusive remedy (and our sole and exclusive liability) under this Agreement.

You will indemnify and hold harmless the Post Local News Parties from and against all losses, damages, penalties, liability and costs, including reasonable legal fees, of any kind or nature related to any claim against a Post Local News Party related to: (a) Customer Content or Submitted Content; (b) your breach of this Agreement or any laws; or (c) your use of our Subscription Services or any Third-Party Services (including your breach of terms for any Third-Party Services).

If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through discussion and negotiation, either party may refer the dispute to a single arbitrator appointed by agreement between the parties, or, failing agreement within 14 days of one party notifying the other of its desire to appoint an arbitrator, by an arbitrator appointed by the President for the time being of the Law Society of England and Wales. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules then applying to commercial arbitrations in England and Wales. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties. Notwithstanding this Clause, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim relief, or to enforce an award made by an arbitrator. This Governing Law and Dispute Resolution Clause sets out the governing law of the Agreement and outlines the steps both parties must take in the event of a dispute. By entering into this Agreement, both parties agree to abide by this Clause and submit to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
34. Any Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Post Local News and you each waive any right to a trial by jury.
