We will review any Take Down Notice (as defined below) as soon as reasonably practicable and will act expeditiously to remove any material that we have reason to believe is defamatory, breaches the intellectual property rights of any third party and/or is otherwise in breach of our General Terms (‘Offending Material’). As part of our response, we may remove or disable access to any Offending Material. You authorise us to contact the person, firm, company or organisation that submitted the Offending Material to alert them to the action we are taking.

A Take Down Notice is a legally significant document. You are recommended to take legal advice on your legal rights and obligations before giving a Take Down Notice

1. Take Down Notice

To be valid, a Take Down Notice must contain:

1. sufficient information to enable us to identify the allegedly Offending Material.

2. sufficient information to enable us to identify and locate the allegedly Offending Material (for example by providing the date and time on which the material was made available on the Websites;

In the event of inconsistency between these General Terms and any terms and conditions attaching to a particular Service (including any Registered User, Subscriber or Employment Service), those terms and conditions relating to a particular Service shall take precedence.
