Thank you for viewing the information on this site. We are a small organisation whose aims are to ensure that people participate more actively in society and to overcome political apathy. In view of our limited resources, it is necessary that we are relieved of any liability that might otherwise accrue by reason of the contents of our website or any websites or webpages to which you are directed. In accessing our site, you agree therefore to hold us completely harmless and free from liability for loss and damage howsoever arising. You further agree to honour and abide by the terms set out below. These further terms are without prejudice to the foregoing exemption from any liability howsoever arising.

Your use of any part of this site constitutes your acceptance of these Site Terms, which take effect on the date on which you first use this site. Peasoup Publishing Ltd is the publisher of Peasoup and the terms are used interchangeably, save where the context otherwise indicates. Peasoup Publishing Ltd reserves the right to change these Site Terms at any time by posting changes online. You are responsible for regularly reviewing information posted online to obtain timely notice of such changes. Your continued use of this site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the amended Site Terms.

Whilst Peasoup Publishing Ltd endeavours to ensure that the information on this site is correct, no warranty, express or implied, is given to its accuracy and Peasoup Publishing Ltd does not accept any liability for error or omission.

The aims of Peasoup are to promote and encourage intelligent discussion about topical issues relating to London. In accessing the site, you accept and acknowledge that Peasoup’s purpose is the presentation of each side of a particular argument to encourage debate and stimulate interest in a topic. In some cases, to stimulate discussion and action, one side of the argument may be emphasised more than another. The views expressed are not the views of Peasoup, and the mere fact that an argument or facts are stated does not mean that those facts or argument are correct, or even that there are reasonable grounds for believing that those facts or arguments are correct. You agree that Peasoup does not endorse the views expressed in the articles, and does not seek to take sides in any debate.

In reading and reviewing the material on this website, you agree to digest and consider the material in that context.

If there is any material on the website which you consider to be defamatory, offensive, an invasion of any individual’s privacy or otherwise to infringe any relevant national laws, and wish to notify someone or some entity of such contentions, you agree first and immediately, before making any other notification to any other person or entity, to notify Peasoup of the material which you consider to offend against any laws to permit Peasoup the opportunity to remove or modify such material, or to append clarificatory wording, as appropriate. If the material to which objection is taken relates to you or a person on whose behalf you are acting, then you agree that you or the person on whose behalf you act will be deemed to have consented to such material if you fail to notify Peasoup of your complaint and fail to give Peasoup a proper and reasonable opportunity to address it.

Further, you and the people on whose behalf you act agree that any dispute about the contents of the Peasoup website will be referred in the first instance to mediation, that you will not institute any proceedings without having first exhausted all avenues of mediation and that you will not refer any matter to mediation without having first notified Peasoup of your complaint and given Peasoup a proper and reasonable opportunity to address it.
