Terms of use

About these terms

These terms apply when you use https://example.org, which is operated by Legal website operator to be confirmed. By continuing to use the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using it. Separate terms may apply to donations, event bookings, hall hire or services provided through another organisation.

Information, times and events

We take reasonable care to keep Mass times, contacts, events and parish information accurate, but arrangements can change at short notice, especially around holy days, funerals, severe weather and emergencies. Check the latest newsletter or contact the parish office before making a special journey. Dates and times are not a contractual promise.

Pastoral, medical and safeguarding information

Website content is general information and does not replace pastoral, medical, legal, financial or safeguarding advice about your circumstances. Email and website messages may not be monitored continuously. If someone is in immediate danger, contact the emergency services. Safeguarding concerns should also be reported through our safeguarding page.

Permitted use

You may view, download and print pages for personal, private, educational or non-commercial parish use, subject to our copyright notice and any credit or licence shown with particular material. You may share links to public pages. Permission to access the site is temporary and does not transfer any ownership rights.

Prohibited use

You must not:

• Break the law: use the site for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, defamatory, discriminatory or harmful activity.
• Damage the service: introduce malware, attempt unauthorised access, probe security, overload the service or interfere with another visitor’s use.
• Misrepresent us: impersonate the organisation or suggest endorsement, partnership or official status that has not been given.
• Exploit content: systematically scrape, republish, sell or build a database from the site except where law or a written licence permits.
• Misuse contact details: harvest published names, email addresses or telephone numbers for unsolicited marketing or harassment.

Messages and material you send

When you send an enquiry, prayer request, notice, photograph or other material, you confirm that you are entitled to send it and that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge. Do not send confidential, unlawful or third-party personal information unless it is necessary and you are authorised to do so. We may decline, edit or remove material from public channels, but safeguarding records are handled under the applicable safeguarding process.

Donations and transactions

A donation is governed by our donations policy and the terms of the payment provider. Payments for tickets, hire or goods may be contractual rather than donations and may have separate cancellation terms. Nothing on a general giving page guarantees Gift Aid eligibility.

External links and embedded services

Links and embeds from dioceses, schools, maps, payment providers, video platforms and social networks are offered for convenience. We do not control their content, availability, accessibility, security or privacy practices. A link does not necessarily mean we endorse everything on that service. Check the provider’s own terms before using it.

Intellectual property

Website content is protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual-property rights belonging to us or our licensors. Our copyright notice explains what you may reuse. The open-source licence for the website software does not grant a licence to parish text, photographs, logos, recordings, newsletters or third-party material.

Availability and security

We aim to keep the website available and safe, but we do not promise uninterrupted or error-free access. We may suspend, withdraw or change any part of it for maintenance, security, legal or pastoral reasons. You are responsible for using suitable device security and for deciding whether downloaded material is appropriate for your needs.

Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Your statutory rights are not affected.

Subject to that, we are not responsible for loss caused by relying on information that you knew or reasonably should have known needed confirmation, by an external service outside our control, or by an interruption that we could not reasonably prevent. If you use the website for business purposes, we do not accept liability for loss of profit, business, opportunity or anticipated savings to the extent the law permits.

Changes, law and contact

We may update these terms when the website, our services or the law changes. The version in force is the one published here. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales; the courts with jurisdiction there will ordinarily deal with disputes, subject to any mandatory rights you have where you live. Questions can be sent to parish.ourladyofwalsingham@northamptondiocese.org.
