You the User hereby undertake that You shall use Our Websites only for lawful purposes.
You Shall not use Our Websites in any of the following circumstances:

INTERACTIVE SERVICES
We may from time to time provide interactive services on Our Websites, including, without limitation:
- Messaging.
- Bulletin boards.
- Public enquiry.
- Loan application.
- Comment.
(hereafter "interactive services").
Where We provide any interactive services, We will specify rules about the kinds of services offered, if it is moderated or unmoderated, and, if moderated, what form of moderation is used (including, whether it is human or technical).
We will exercise our best efforts to assess and judge any possible risks for Users from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on Our Websites, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation on the relevant Service (including the type of moderation to be used) in light of those risks.
You hereby accept that we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on Our Websites, and we shall not be held responsible or liable for any harm, loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a User, whether the service is moderated or not.
The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation cannot be foolproof and is subject to abuse. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.
Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide You with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise which you seek addressed.
