These Terms & Services explain the basic rules for using Basildon.info, including its history pages, visitor photo gallery, image uploader, message board and other public features. By using the website or submitting material, you agree to use the site responsibly and lawfully.
Basildon.info is an independent local-history website about Basildon, Essex and surrounding communities. It publishes historical information, photographs, memories and material about Basildon, Laindon, Pitsea, Dunton, Nevendon, Vange, Langdon Hills, Lee Chapel and nearby areas.
Every reasonable effort is made to provide useful and accurate information. Historical records and memories can conflict, so pages may be corrected or updated when better evidence becomes available. Basildon.info does not guarantee that every historical statement is complete or error-free.
Please do not copy substantial amounts of original Basildon.info text, page design or site-created material and republish it as your own. Short quotations for research, discussion or reference should identify Basildon.info as the source where appropriate.
If you want to reproduce a substantial passage, use site-created material in another project, or ask whether information may be reused, please use the contact page. Permission for a photograph cannot automatically be given where the copyright belongs to a contributor or another third party.
Visitors may submit photographs for possible display in the visitor photo gallery and other relevant parts of the website. By submitting an image, you confirm that you have the right or permission needed to submit it and that the submission does not knowingly infringe another person's copyright, privacy or other legal rights.
By submitting an image, you give Basildon.info a non-exclusive permission to host, display, resize, reproduce and present that image as part of the website and its local-history features. You continue to retain any copyright that you already own in the image.
Submitting an image does not guarantee publication. Basildon.info may approve, decline, remove, resize or reposition submissions for moderation, relevance, technical, safety or presentation reasons.
Please use care when submitting photographs containing identifiable people, particularly private, sensitive or recent images. Do not submit material that you do not have a lawful right to share or material that would unreasonably invade another person's privacy.
If you submitted an image and later want it removed, or believe an image or contribution infringes your copyright or privacy, contact Basildon.info and identify the relevant image and page. Requests will be reviewed and appropriate action taken where necessary.
Visitors should not post unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, spam, private, deliberately misleading or copyright-infringing material. Basildon.info may moderate or remove unsuitable contributions.
Some pages may contain links or references to third-party websites, photographs, organisations or resources. Those services remain subject to their own terms and copyright. A link from Basildon.info does not mean the site controls or guarantees third-party content.
Basildon.info may update, move, replace or remove pages, photographs and features as the site develops. Continuous availability of every page or service cannot be guaranteed.
If you find an incorrect fact, broken page, copyright concern, privacy issue, unsuitable submission or another problem, use the contact page and include the relevant page address and enough information for the issue to be checked.
These terms may be updated when the website or its features change. The current version published on Basildon.info applies to use of the website.
