General terms

Our publications, this website and our services are owned and delivered by List Publishing Limited ("The List", "we", "our" or "us") unless specifically indicated otherwise and are operated and controlled from the United Kingdom and are subject to these terms and conditions.

Our main place of business is 2 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh EH8 9SU, United Kingdom (SC717628).

1. Copyright in the content of our publications and this website is owned by The List, or under agreement from a copyright owning partner, or under other rights you have granted us. All rights are reserved and are protected by copyright, database, design and other rights. The content (“Our Content”) of our publications, apps and websites includes editorial and listings, advertising and comments, reviews, photos, videos, sound, data and any material that users of the services or readers of our publications contribute. By supplying or making available content, you agree that you have the right to allow us to use the material and distribute it to third parties, and your grant of rights is not contravening other rights.

Our distribution of content to third parties, which may contain your personal data, will take place where we have made a legitimate assessment of compliance with GDPR, the processing purpose is modest and should be well understandable by you.
3. Information provided to us as part of listings which may include names, phone numbers, addresses and email addresses of points of contact for an event or venue, and users who supply event or venue information including images are not subject to the Consumer Privacy Policy herein, and such personal data is managed as essential contact details. In order to ensure the accuracy and completeness of our listings, we may periodically communicate with such contacts.

We are maintaining for posterity an archive of information on all events, including this business contact data and essential details of users directly associated with supplying it.

You will consider the risks involved in using any content and accept that, notwithstanding the testing and tuning we have undertaken, that the use of a supply or feed mechanism in any form may have an adverse impact on the speed of your device or web site. You agree to use the RSS or widget only to provide summaries, each with a functional link to the associated item on our website that shall display the full content immediately (e.g., no jump pages or other intermediate or interstitial pages). You further agree not to frame or otherwise control the browser window (if any) in which our content opens, including limiting the size or position of such window. The List reserves the right to alter, modify or withdraw any service without notice and provides no service level agreement for speed or uptime. We may determine that a supply or feed mechanism is placing an unacceptable processing burden and withdraw the service.

Advertising

The List does not accept liability for any loss incurred by error or omission of any advertisement. In the event that advertising materials do not reach The List by any agreed deadline, the advertiser remains liable for the full cost of the advertisement and The List reserves the right to use the inventory or fill the space as it sees fit. Cancellation is not offered on any confirmed booking. The List, entirely at its discretion, will endeavour to meet changes in requirements requested at least 20 working days in advance of the earlier of the start date or the advert being sent to print. The List will not publish any advertisement which The List consider may be in breach of the law or is otherwise defamatory or libellous. The advertiser shall indemnify The List in respect of any costs and expenses arising out of any claim resulting from the advertisement.

Payment is required before publication or delivery of services unless credit facilities have been agreed in advance and in writing. The List will charge 8% interest on overdue accounts plus any costs incurred in securing payment. We will notify you of these charges in advance. Where applicable, VAT will be added at the prevailing rate – currently 20% in the United Kingdom.

Website comments

The website includes a comment and user review system (collectively Comments) and we aim to establish exchange of information and opinions about the content and listings we publish.

Users submitting Comments are requested to follow our guidelines and must comply with the law. This will enable dissent and debate to be a healthy part of such exchange.

Guidelines

The List reserves the right to edit or delete comments without reason.
