  10. Using the InSight Chat communication widget and Posting Material on the Platform

    The Platform allows Parents to chat with Ambassadors from schools that have subscribed to our service. We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on the Website and/or the Platform, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks.

However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on the Website and/or the Platform, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our Code of Conduct and Behaviour, whether the service is moderated or not.

    The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation, where in place, is not fool proof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

    Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.

    We do not store terrorist content.
