PCG Terms of Use for MP Database
This MP database is operated by the Professional
Contractors Group ("PCG"). The objective of the database
is to allow PCG members to report on details of contact
with their Constituency MP (and other MP's as they may consider
useful). A summary of the information will be made public.
The following guidelines and terms apply to all members
and to anyone reading information that is in the public
domain. If you have any questions about the legal information
that follows, please contact us directly. If you do not
agree to these terms of use, you should exit the database.
- Member Conduct
- All members completing the MP database are expected
to show courtesy to others and demonstrate respect,
good taste and decorum. Failure to do so may result
in the immediate termination of a member's right to
use this area and may result in termination of access
rights to the member's area. We have listed some examples
below of unacceptable online behaviour that are considered
to violate these terms of use:
-
Use of unlawful, harmful, threatening,
libellous, vulgar, abusive or defamatory statements,
language or images.
- Actions which intentionally cause distress,
embarrassment, unwanted attention or other discomfort
to another.
- Sending chain letters or other junk mail.
- Sending unsolicited advertising or promotional
material to others.
- Failure to respect the confidences of other
members using the forum.
- This list is not exhaustive and we reserve the
right to prohibit conduct that we believe may be harmful
to any of our members. We reserve the right to monitor
any postings to ensure that online standards are being
maintained. The PCG reserves the right to disclose
any information on records to satisfy any law, regulation
or other governmental request and to maintain its
online standards of conduct.
- The PCG also reserves the right to remove any information,
messages or other material ("Content") that it deems
in its sole discretion to be unacceptable, undesirable
or in violation of these terms of use and to terminate
the right of any member to use the MP database who
misuses or fails to abide by these terms of use.
- Rules for submission to the MP database
- Members are solely responsible for any Content
that is submitted, uploaded or posted on the MP database
and are liable for any damage resulting from any infringement
of proprietary rights or any other harm. By submitting
Content to the MP database a member grants the PCG
an unrestricted, royalty-free, perpetual, world-wide
right and licence to use, reproduce, modify, publish,
translate and distribute the Content and/or to incorporate
it in other works.
- Members may not in any way commercially exploit
any Content obtained from the PCG forum and must abide
by the copyright and other proprietary restrictions
and licences displayed in the particular Content.

reason of the negligence of the PCG.
