Terms of use
The following are the terms of use of the marketinglaw.co.uk website and our e-mail update service ("marketinglaw"). If you
do not accept these terms, you must not use marketinglaw.
About us
marketinglaw is operated by Osborne Clarke of One London Wall, London EC2Y 5EB ("we"/"our"/"us"). Osborne Clarke is a law
firm regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The registration number of our London office is 58542. The Solicitors
Regulation Authority regulations applicable to us can be found here.
Use of marketinglaw
You may download or print off the visible text on marketinglaw for personal non-commercial purposes but you may not reproduce
any other part of it including, but not limited to, the structure, overall style and program code.
Marketing services businesses in the UK (this doesn't include lawyers, accountants and other advisers to the marketing services
sector) may also use the forms and checklists on this site for business purposes and may revise or amend them as required
in that regard.
BUT please bear in mind that these documents are not a good substitute for legal advice and you use them at your own risk
(see the "reliance on information" section below). You should always get your legal documents checked by a suitably qualified
lawyer - this is usually money well spent compared to the possible liabilities that can arise from poorly drafted legal documentation.
(You may also find you can help keep your legal costs down by using the materials on this site to create a first draft yourself
to which a specialist lawyer can then add finishing touches.)
Reliance on information
marketinglaw contains general information only about English and European law and regulation relating to the advertising and
marketing services industries. Although we aim to keep it up-to-date, we do not guarantee its accuracy. Similarly, while
we try to make marketinglaw as useful and practical as possible, the material it contains is not legal advice nor a substitute
for it, and must not be relied on as such. We say this for your benefit as well as ours, in that:
If you have a specific legal problem, you must consult a suitably qualified lawyer.
Accessing marketinglaw
We reserve the right to make marketinglaw unavailable at any time, or to restrict access to parts or all of it without notice.
If you register with marketinglaw and choose (or are provided with) a username and password, you must treat such information
as confidential and must not disclose it to any third party. We have the right to disable any username or password at any
time if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms of use.
Our liability
Bearing in mind that this is a free "public access" site, it is a condition of use of marketinglaw and the materials in it
that use is at the user's own risk. Except as expressly provided in these terms, we expressly disclaim any further representations,
warranties, conditions or other terms, express or implied, by statute, collaterally or otherwise, including but not limited
to implied warranties, conditions or other terms of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose or reasonable care
and skill.
Neither Osborne Clarke nor any of the site's editors or contributors shall be liable for any loss or damages suffered as a
result of any use of the site, including but not limited to direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage and loss of profits
and business (but not including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, liability for fraudulent
misrepresentation and any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law).
Your information
We shall comply with all applicable data protection laws in the UK. For a description of how we use your personal data please
see our privacy policy.
Intellectual property
Unless specified to the contrary, the contents of marketinglaw and the structure, overall style and program code of marketinglaw
are protected by copyright. The authors of the material on marketinglaw and the creators of marketinglaw assert their moral
rights. No part of marketinglaw may be reproduced in any form or used in any other way except in accordance with these terms
of use (in particular, the "use of marketinglaw" section above).
OSBORNE CLARKE, Br@ndlegal and the Osborne Clarke "cat" logo are registered trade marks of Osborne Clarke. You must not use
these or any other registered or unregistered trade marks on the site without our prior written permission.
Links
marketinglaw includes links to other internet sites. We cannot vouch for the suitability or accuracy of the content of those
sites. They are simply sites that we have seen (perhaps only once and perhaps not recently) which we found interesting.
Apart from the Osborne Clarke website (at www.osborneclarke.com), they have nothing to do with us and you use them at your own risk.
Linking to marketinglaw
You may link to our home page, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take
advantage of it, but you must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement
on our part where none exists.
marketinglaw must not be framed on any other site, nor may you create a link to any part of marketinglaw other than the home
page. We reserve the right to withdraw linking permission without notice.
If you wish to make any use of material on marketinglaw other than that set out above, please address your request to the
editor, Stephen Groom
General
We may change these conditions of use from time to time. You will be bound by changes even if you do not re-visit this page
to re-read this notice.
These terms of use are governed by English law and any dispute connected with marketinglaw is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the English courts.
