This is a legal document, in relation to this website (the ‘Site’), and the material of all types that you gain access to on and through the Site (‘Content’). We have a separate Privacy Policy which governs our use of your personal information.

You consent to the terms of this Agreement every time you access any part of the Site or make use of any of the Content.

Intellectual Property
The term ‘Content’ includes, but is not limited to, all text, graphics and images, which appear on the Site, and the design, look and feel of the Site itself. Each item of Content is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights which are either owned by Hull City Council, or licensed to it by a third party.

Where downloads of third party software are made available on the Site, they are owned by the third party licensor in question, and will be subject to any terms and conditions applied by the relevant third party. The Site may contain proprietary notices (such as moral rights and trade mark notices) and copyright information, the terms of which must be observed and followed.

Use of Content
We permit you to use the Site and its Content for the purposes for which it is intended on an individual computing device having a single central processing unit. You may download to a local hard disk and print extracts from the Site.

With the exception of information in the press release section of the Site which may be reproduced by journalists (for journalistic purposes only) you are not (save to the extent permitted by law) otherwise entitled to copy, distribute or transmit any of the Content, or to incorporate any of it into any website (except by way of linkage in accordance with ‘Linking to the Site’ below) or other work whatsoever, nor may you broadcast, publish or facilitate any public performance of Content.

Accuracy of Content
While every effort is made to ensure that the Content is accurate and complete it may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. All Content is provided ‘as is’ for information purposes only and without warranty of any kind, either express or implied.

We would therefore advise you in instances where you seek to rely on the Content, that you check the accuracy of the Content by some other means. For example, we would advise contacting relevant venues directly to confirm dates and times of performances.

All information about venues, performances, repertoire, times, prices and casting on this Site is necessarily subject to change, sometimes at short notice.

Community Guidelines

Comment on a story: Your opinions are valued and very welcome. Although we encourage healthy debate – after all, culture is something we’re all very passionate about – there are a few house rules that we expect all posters to abide by.

1: Keep it courteous.

2: Keep it relevant to the story or feature you are commenting on.

3: Keep it clean – no profanities here, thanks.

4: Abuse and hate speech, or comments that could be interpreted as such, will not be tolerated in any form

5: Personal attacks, trolling, flaming or any other form of cyber bullying will not be tolerated.

6: Libellous or defamatory content will be removed.

7: No spam or other obviously commercial content

8: We reserve the right to slightly edit comments if absolutely necessary, but will not do this in such a way as to change the meaning of the original comment.

9: Comments that breach the house rules will not be published.

10: We do our best to be vigilant on all of the above, but if you spot a comment that has somehow slipped through the net, please report it to the team by emailing dan.wheeler@vhey.co.uk
