Interactive Services

We may provide interactive services on our website, such as:

  • Chat rooms

  • Bulletin boards

  • Blog posts

When we offer interactive services, we will give you clear information about the type of service provided, whether it is moderated, and the form of moderation used (human or technical).

We will strive to assess potential risks to users, especially children, from third parties using any interactive service on our website. We will decide on a case-by-case basis whether it is appropriate to use moderation and what type to use. However, we are not obligated to oversee, monitor, or moderate any interactive service we provide, and we expressly exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

The use of our interactive services by minors is subject to parental or guardian consent. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service to communicate with them about online safety, as moderation is not foolproof. Minors using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks.

When we do moderate an interactive service, we will usually provide you with a means to contact the moderator should a concern or difficulty arise.
