These Terms & Conditions of Web Site Use should be read in conjunction with our
Privacy Policy. This web site is owned and operated by RL Publishing Ltd ("us", "we", "our", etc. on this page).
We reserve the right to make any modifications that we deem necessary to these terms and conditions at any time. Your continued use of this web site means that you accept those changes.
Disclaimer
MATERIAL CONNECTION DISCLOSURE: You should assume that the owner of this site has an affiliate relationship and/or another material connection to the providers of goods and services mentioned on this website and may be compensated when you purchase from a provider when you click on any external link. The same is true for links posted under the aegis of this web site in other media such (but not restricted to) as video, audio, blogs, social media sites, RSS feeds and by email. An "external link" is any link that leads the user (directly or indirectly) to a website that is not owned or operated by the site. You should always perform due diligence before buying goods or services from anyone via the Internet or offline.
How we contact you
We deliver content in a number of different ways, for example: via web pages, video, audio, blogs, links to content that we post on social media sites and RSS feeds and, of course, by email.
Email
Email is still by far and away the easiest and most popular way to establish a relationship between information providers like us and our web site users and customers. It's our primary means of interacting with these, so we want to be explicit about how we use it. Namely ...
- For administrative purposes, particularly in connection with purchases of products or services sold on our web sites.
- To grant or confirm the granting of access to areas of our web sites.
- For newsletters and/or notification of blog posts. For the latter, we may use well known third parties specialising in this type of notification e.g. Feedburner.
- To promote our own products and those of others.
Other categories may emerge over time, but for promotional emails, we endeavour only to send to those that we have established some form of relationship. For us, examples would include:
- Our customers.
- Those that have requested information on one of our products or services.
- Those who have been granted access to particular areas of our web site.
- Those subscribed to one of our newsletters or content provision services.
Please note that:
- Email addresses will not be lent or rented to anybody else.
- Promotional emails will always carry a means of removing the email address in question from the list to which the promotion was sent. (Obviously, removal from promotional email lists does not preclude us from sending email to users and customers, if required, for administrative matters such as, for example, payment requests, customer support, and so on.)
"Social Media" services.
This web site may also display information and data from "social media" services like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube (and others). These are different from email in as much that you choose to associate yourself with us (by "following" or becoming "friends", and so on). By doing this, as well as having access to material that is generated by our company, you may also gain access to material that is generated by others. For the latter, we can assume no responsibility, nor vouch for any content or web sites that this material may link to.

If we have unknowingly utilised such materials otherwise, this has been done in error and we kindly request that you advise us of this via the email address shown in the footer of this page.

not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit or distribute Online Materials in any other way or for any other purpose unless you get our written permission first.
