By using our site you accept, and agree to keep to, this acceptable use policy, which applies alongside our website terms of use.
Our site at www.hypnotherapy-directory.org.uk is owned and operated by us, Memiah Limited. We are a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales under company number 05489185. Our registered office and main trading address is at Building B, Riverside Way, Camberley, Surrey, GU15 3YL.

Interactive services
From time to time we may provide interactive services on our site, including chat rooms and bulletin boards. If we do provide any interactive service, we will give you clear information about the kind of service we offer, if it is moderated (overseen and monitored) and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).
We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (particularly children) when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and in each case we will decide whether it is appropriate to moderate the relevant service (and if so, what kind of moderation to use). However, we are under no obligation to moderate any interactive service we provide, and we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from any interactive service being used in a way that does not meet our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.
Minors can only use our interactive services with permission from their parent or guardian. If a parent allows a child to use an interactive service, it is important that the parent tells the child about staying safe online, as moderation is not foolproof. Minors who use any interactive service should be told about the potential risks to them.
If we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally let you know how to contact the moderator if you have any concerns.

These content standards apply to any material you contribute to our site (contributions), and to any interactive services associated with it. You must meet the following standards. The standards apply to all of, and each part of, any contribution.
