7. Limitation of liability and indemnity
INM obtains the Content from a wide range of sources and the Content
includes facts, views, opinions and information which may be of interest to
users of the Website.
While all reasonable care is taken, we do not warrant the accuracy,
completeness, timeliness, performance or fitness for any particular purpose
of the Content or the Website, nor do we endorse or accept any
responsibility for any views, advice, recommendations or opinions expressed
on the Website or any website to which we link. You should note that any
contact or arrangements made between you and any third party named on the
Website or any third party website linked from it (including without
limitation any website with which we have a commercial association) is at
your own risk, and to the extent permitted by law INM excludes all liability.
The Content should only be used for your general information and use and not
by way of specific recommendation or advice.
Before taking any action or decision based in whole or in part on the
Content, you should always make your own independent checks of any
information that is important in making such decision or taking such action.
You should also seek professional advice in appropriate circumstances such
as on medical, investment, tax, financial, legal and other professional
matters.
INM does not give any warranties in respect of the Content or the Website,
freedom from viruses or other contamination, or that the Website is
compatible with any computer systems, software and browsers.
All implied warranties or duties are excluded save if and to the extent that
they may not lawfully be excluded.
INM is not regulated by the Financial Services Authority and the Content has
not been approved under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
Appropriate expert advice should be obtained before making any investment or
other decisions.
Advertising or promotional material submitted by third party advertisers,
sponsors or promoters is viewable on the Website. The advertisers are solely
responsible for that material, including ensuring that it complies with all
applicable legislation and regulations. INM is not responsible for such
material.
INM shall not be liable for any claims, losses, injuries, penalties,
damages, costs or expenses arising from the use of, or inability to use the
Website or Content or from any action taken, or omitted to be taken, as a
result of using the Website or Content, other than death or personal injury
resulting from use of the Website directly caused by the negligence of INM.
INM excludes liability to you and/or any third party for any consequential
or incidental damages (including but not limited to lost profits, loss of
privacy or for failure to fulfil any duty) or for any other indirect,
special or punitive damages whatsoever that arise out of or are related to
the use of the Website or the Content or to any breach of the terms by INM,
even if INM has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even in
the event of fault or strict liability.
You agree that, subject to the forgoing terms of this Term 7, your exclusive
remedy and only recovery for any damage you incur, shall be limited to the
direct damages (if any) you actually incur in reasonable and exclusive
reliance on the Website or Content, and for which we may be held liable by a
competent court, of up to a limit of the refund of the amount you paid (if
any) in relation to the particular use of the Content in total during the
month in which the damage first incurred.
You agree to indemnify INM against all costs, claims, proceedings, demands,
losses, damages, expenses or liability whatsoever arising directly or
indirectly as a result of any breach of the Terms by you and any negligence
or breach of duty by you.
8. Links to third party sites
This Website contains links to other web sites operated by parties who are
wholly separate from INM. Links to all third party sites are identifiable
because clicking on them will launch new browser windows displaying the
third party's website URLs, or are otherwise indicated as such by INM. Such
links are provided for your convenience and reference only and you access
them at your own risk. INM cannot be held responsible in any way for the
content, operation or availability of such websites.
9. Co-branded sites
In addition to the provisions of Term 8, some third party sites to which
links are provided are "co-branded" sites which are operated by
third parties with whom INM has a commercial association, including sites by
means of which you can make payment for use of the Website or associated
services. If you wish to make any purchases or enter any financial dealings
on a co-branded site, you will be entering a contract with the relevant
third party operator who will ask you to supply information about yourself
and on your financial affairs, including your bank or credit card details.
The third party operator will have their own terms and conditions and
privacy policy and it is up to you to indicate your consent or otherwise to
the use that the third party proposes to make of your personal data. While
we select our trading partners with care, INM cannot be held liable for any
loss or damage whatsoever which you may suffer as a result of your decision
to enter any dealings or transactions with, or supply personal information
to, a trading partner or any third party.
Your attention is drawn to the Privacy Policy.
10. Gambling and betting
Further to the terms of Term 9, all gambling, betting and associated
services available on the Website or which are accessible from it are
provided and operated by third party operators whose identity and details
including contact details are given on the relevant webpages. INM does not
operate, nor is it responsible in any way, for these services and all
liability is hereby excluded. Customers contract direct with such third
parties and should note the disclaimer on such pages and the relevant terms
and conditions of use.
11. Competitions, prize draws and promotions
INM may on occasion run competitions or prize draws either on its own
behalf, for other parties or in conjunction with commercial partners. These
will be subject to additional rules and conditions which will be made
available at the time of any such competition.

rights with respect to any such work worldwide and/or to incorporate it in
other works in any media now known or later developed for the full term of
any rights that may exist in such content.

contribution to the Website.

contribution is your own original work and that you have the right to make
it available to INM for all the purposes specified above, that it is not
defamatory or obscene, and does not infringe any law or regulatory provision

these warranties may cause loss or damage to INM and you indemnify INM
against all legal fees, damages and other expenses that may be incurred by
INM as a result of your breach of the above warranty. You agree to waive any
moral rights in your contribution for the purposes of its submission to and
publication on the Website and the other purposes specified above.
