Terms governing access to and use of Stackle's website

1. Terms of Use

These terms and conditions outline the rules and regulations for the use of Stackle's website. By accessing the website, users are taken to accept these terms and conditions. Users who do not agree with them should not continue to use the website.

The terms use standard contractual definitions for references such as Client, You, Your, Company, We, Our, and Us. They also establish the agreement framework for the provision of Stackle's stated services under the applicable law referenced in the document.

Together, they set the baseline conditions for accessing the website and using its content.

2. Cookies

The published terms state that Stackle employs the use of cookies and that, by accessing the site, users agree to the use of cookies in line with Stackle's Privacy Policy.

The page explains that cookies help enable functionality across parts of the website and notes that some affiliate or advertising partners may also use cookies. It also directs users to the Cookies Policy page for more information.

3. Licence and user content

Unless otherwise stated, Stackle and its licensors own the intellectual property rights for all material on the website, and all rights are reserved. Users may access site materials for their own personal use, subject to the restrictions set out in the terms.

The terms also include a comments and user-content section. That section states that Stackle does not pre-filter or review comments before they appear, that comments reflect the views of the person posting them, and that Stackle may monitor and remove material considered inappropriate, offensive, or in breach of the terms.

Users who post comments or other material are stated to warrant that they have the necessary rights and consents, that the material does not infringe third-party rights, and that it is not defamatory, indecent, unlawful, or used to promote unlawful or commercial activity improperly.

4. Hyperlinking to our content

The terms identify categories of organisations that may link to the website without prior written approval, including government agencies, search engines, news organisations, certain online directory distributors, and accredited businesses, subject to the stated conditions.

They also describe other kinds of organisations whose requests may be considered, including consumer and business information sources, community sites, charities, directories, internet portals, professional firms, and educational institutions or trade associations.

Approved links must not be deceptive, must not falsely imply sponsorship or endorsement, and must fit within the context of the linking party's site. The published terms also state that no use of Stackle's logo or other artwork for linking is allowed without a trademark licence agreement.

5. iFrames, content liability, and privacy

Without prior approval and written permission, users may not create frames around Stackle webpages that alter the visual presentation or appearance of the site.

The terms also place responsibility on third-party websites for content that appears on those sites and state that no links should appear on any external website in ways that are libellous, obscene, criminal, or otherwise infringing of third-party rights.

For privacy matters, the terms direct users to Stackle's Privacy Policy for more information.

6. Reservation of rights and removal of links

Stackle reserves the right to request removal of all links or any specific link to its website. By continuing to link to the website, linking parties are taken to agree to follow those linking terms and conditions.

The terms also state that Stackle may amend the terms and its linking policy at any time, and that users may contact Stackle if they find a link on the website that they consider offensive. The company may consider such requests, but is not obligated to remove links or respond directly.

The terms also make clear that Stackle does not guarantee that information on the website is correct, complete, accurate, continuously available, or fully up to date.

7. Disclaimer

The terms include a broad disclaimer that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, excludes representations, warranties, and conditions relating to the website and its use.

At the same time, the disclaimer preserves the categories of liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded, including liabilities that would not be permitted to be excluded under applicable law.

The terms conclude by stating that, while the website and its information and services are provided free of charge, Stackle will not be liable for loss or damage of any nature arising from that use.
