In addition to the user’s self regulation we may in addition determine, in our discretion, whether any submission breaches the Content Standards.

Please do not:

• Make multiple contributions. So that we can publish comments from as many different people as possible, participants should keep their number of contributions per debate to a reasonable level. Multiple contributions from one individual, or small number of individuals, discourages many others who might otherwise wish to take part;
• Spam by reposting the same message, or very similar messages, more than once;
• Publicise or attempt to publicise anyone else’s contact details or compromise anyone else’s privacy in any way; and/or
• Use any name other than your bona fide family name.

• Comply with the laws applicable in England and in any country from which it is posted; and/ or
• Be relevant.

• Be defamatory of any person and/or otherwise be unlawful or fraudulent, or have any unlawful or fraudulent purpose or effect;
• Be obscene, offensive, hateful or inflammatory;
• Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age;

• Give the impression that the contribution emanates from Ipex,  IIR Exhibitions Limited or any part of the Informa Group  if this is not the case;
• Advocate, promote, incite any third party to commit, or assist any unlawful or criminal act;
