These terms can change at any time, as a member and for fairness we do not expect you to check for changes every day - we will publish a change at least 28 days prior on the main website, we do expect you to then view the proposed changes. This means there will be a period where you the members can comment and make suggestions on the actual terms and conditions themselves.

To ensure fairness we will have a full membership vote every 2 years on July 20th. This will set forth future terms and conditions which are in line with membership requests.

Persons who are 18 may be randomly asked to provide identification, This is purely to ensure minors are unable to access Pubnetworks UK, we accept 3 types of identification: In person, just ask your local pub to verify you. By sending a scan of your date of birth and name either a passport or driving license *please block out all the other information, we only need your age and name to prove your over 18. For pure fairness and impartial checking we use a random program which during registration may ask you to provide identification prior to you being accepted as a Pubnetworks UK member.

Disclosure to Law Enforcement

These terms specifically prohibits the use of our service for illegal activities. Therefore, Member agrees that the Company may disclose any and all member information including assigned IP numbers, account history, account use, etc. to any law enforcement agent who makes a written request without further consent or notification to the Member. In addition Pubnetworks UK shall have the right to terminate all service set forth in this Agreement.

Inactive or unloved accounts:

Pubnetworks UK hopes to be popular, as a result accounts which have not been used for 90 days will trigger an automated email to the owner, you will then have 45 days to login or the account will be listed as inactive and unloved once this time has expired the account will be locked. After a further 180 days it will be deleted, all content will be destroyed by deletion and any money in the account will either be available for you to claim or be placed into a special unclaimed money fund. If after 2 years you do not claim any money which may be owed to you, we will assume you have donated it to charity and pay a percentage to a charity of our choosing. Once an account is locked all links to the account are terminated, it is dormant and becomes unavailable to view, edit or appraise.

Termination of accounts:

Sometimes we have to terminate accounts, this is something we really do not wish to do, please read the terms and conditions carefully, and understand if you break the rules we will have no option but to terminate your account in many cases without warning. Pubnetworks UK is designed to be a fun place, but ultimately it needs to be a safe place for its members, we dont allow fighting, harassment or racially motivated content, spam and any other form of abuse on our website its chatrooms, the video conferencing and the live feeds. Unlike any other social network we will seek the prosecution of criminals using pubnetworks for any activity we deem to be illegal. You have been warned, its in plain english and its clear if you break any terms and conditions we will have no option but to close your account, and if its illegal you will be visited by the police. Pubnetworks will not risk all its members losing the website and all there hard work for criminals and abusive people.

SCAMS AND OTHER CRIMINAL ACTIVITY:

Pubnetworks UK operates a zero tolerance policy for spam, scams and any illegal activity.

Pubnetworks UK has now BLOCKED all emails ending in zaycimus.com our spam system does detect spam BEFORE you can even use pubnetworks UK.

This domain has now been added to our database. We freely share the database with other websites and individuals, by proactively blocking spam emails and ip ranges we can clear the internet of useless junk.

If you see something on Pubnetworks UK you believe or think is any type of illegal activity please do the following:

• Take a screenshot of the page you see the item. (ctrl-alt-printscreen)
• Email abuse@pubnetworks.co.uk the image and why you think its illegal.
• Contact your local police.

We will then lock the account preserving any evidence and data the police can use to catch the offender(s).

Pubnetworks UK will pay £5 for every criminal you help catch & successfully prosecute using Pubnetworks UK. Your details will be kept anonymous.

Sites such as anti 419 forums have a wealth of information on how to stop yourselves being scammed, and we hope from time to time there members will alert us to fraudulent activity on Pubnetworks UK. Over time we aim to be able to work alongside these groups, forming a close business relationship to ensure Pubnetworks UK stays free from crime. Whilst we do not condone vigilanty type activity we do require members to report crime as on any social network sometimes the users identify things quicker than our moderation can. Ive added this to the terms because its important, as a company we need to ensure our members are protected in as many ways as technology can provide, and social networks are powered by people. We will of course monitor all uploads and have daily and even hourly profile checks by both machine and humans.

Disputes:

From time to time things can go wrong, we could make mistakes or our members can make mistakes, with disputes this needs addressing, so we offer a much fairer system for settling disputes. In many cases disputes are either decided amicabally between two parties, or a third impartial person makes a decision based on both parties arguments. With Pubnetworks UK, once we have enough trusted members we will offer a selection of arbitration routes:

• Private dispute channel so members can talk to each other in an attempt to solve the issue.
• Both parties submit via email there complaint AND what they expect to happen
• An arbitrator tries to help both parties reach an acceptable solution
• UNIQUE the parties can submit an ANONYMOUS version of the complaint where 12 ordinary members will examine the information and make a judgement, the Arbitrator will then act on there decision.

If the mistake is made by us, we will try as quickly as we can to sort the problem out, we will email you updates reguarly in most cases within a few hours and unlike many social networks all complaints are handled by humans.

REGISTRATION:

By clicking register you are agreeing we may send you an email to the address you specified in order to unlock your account for your personal use.

At this time we are actively monitoring all registrations, this is to ensure that spam/fraud does not occur on pubnetworks uk.
