  1. Agreement to Terms 

By subscribing to and using the Labour WordPress Network (“the Service”), the User agrees that they have read, understood, and agreed to these terms and conditions in full, accepts the obligations herein imposed on them, accepts that this agreement will be governed by the law of England and Wales, and accepts also that any failure by the User to comply with the terms of use, or failure to fulfil the obligations they impose on them, is a form of unauthorized access to computer material, where that phrase has the meaning provided for in section 1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990. 

  1. Intellectual Property 

The User agrees that the original intellectual property made available to them as a user of the Labour WordPress Network belongs to the Labour Party, or its  suppliers, or both. 

1.3 Severability 

The User agrees that no provision of these terms shall be interpreted or construed in any way so as to conflict with any piece of UK legislation, and should any individual provision or set of provisions herein be found to be unenforceable, then the User’s agreement to all other provisions remains in force. 

1.4 Compliance with Labour Party Rule Book 

The User acknowledges and agrees that as a member of the Labour Party they remain subject to and bound by the Labour Party Rule Book in all respects, including in relation to their use of the Service.

“No member of the Party shall engage in conduct which in the opinion of the NEC is prejudicial, or in any act which in the opinion of the NEC is grossly detrimental to the Party. The NEC and NCC shall take account of any codes of conduct currently in force and shall regard any incident which in their view might reasonably be seen to demonstrate hostility or prejudice based on age; disability; gender reassignment or identity; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; or sexual orientation as conduct prejudicial to the Party: these shall include but not be limited to incidents involving racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia or otherwise racist language, sentiments, stereotypes or actions, sexual harassment, bullying or any form of intimidation towards another person on the basis of a protected characteristic as determined by the NEC, wherever it occurs, as conduct prejudicial to the Party.” 

The User acknowledges and agrees that any breach of Chapter 2, Clause I.8 of the Labour Party Rule Book in connection with content published through the Service, or in connection with their use of the Service, may result in: 

  1. Immediate suspension or termination of access to the Service without refund; 
  1. Disciplinary proceedings under the Labour Party Rule Book. 

1.5 Compliance with Social Media Policy 

The User acknowledges and agrees that they must comply at all times with the Labour Party’s Social Media Policy (available at: https://labour.org.uk/members/my-welfare/labours-social-media-policy/) when using the Service or publishing any content through websites hosted on the Service.

1.6  Indemnity and Liability 

The User accepts and agrees that their use of the Labour WordPress Network to enable them to place and manage content on any website hosted by the Labour WordPress Network constitutes agreement to indemnify in full the Labour Party, its staff, officers, members of the National Executive Committee, and its suppliers against liability for any content placed or action taken by the User which is found to be in breach of these terms and conditions, or unlawful, or criminal, or which otherwise gives rise to legal liability including but not limited to defamation, libel, breach of copyright, data protection breaches, discrimination, harassment, or any other civil or criminal liability. 

The User acknowledges and agrees that should any content that they create or post prove to be libelous or defamatory, or give rise to any other civil or criminal liability, they as the User will be wholly and singularly responsible for such liability, to the exclusion of Labour Party staff, officers, members of the National Executive Committee, suppliers, or any other party outlined in this agreement other than the User themselves.

1.9 Variation of Terms 

The User accepts that the Labour Party may at any time vary these terms of use and obligations upon providing not less than 30 days’ written notice to the User, and that the User will be required to accept the new terms should they wish to continue using the Labour WordPress Network. Continued use of the Service following the expiry of such notice period shall constitute acceptance of the varied terms. 

1.10 Confidentiality – Personal Data

7.6 National Party Right of Refusal 

The User acknowledges that the Labour Party nationally reserves the right to refuse authorisation for any proposed contract or arrangement referred to in clause 7.4, and to withdraw any authorisation previously granted, where the Labour Party nationally reasonably determines that:

  1. the User is not the copyright holder for the image, but the copyright holder for the image has signified in writing that they are content to grant a permanent non-exclusive licence to the Labour Party to use that image for campaigning purposes (if they require that copyright is acknowledged where the image is reproduced, then the User must comply with that requirement and ensure that the responsibility is fully discharged); or 
  1. the User is not the copyright holder for the image, but the Labour Party is entitled to use that image by virtue of the licence under which it is made available (for example, a Creative Commons or Open Government Licence), provided that the User ensures such usage complies with the terms of the licence and that any required copyright attribution statements are adequately and correctly made.
