3. Participation

3.1 The Service includes a message board and facilities to send in games and pictures, allowing feedback to playgroundfun.org.uk and interaction between users.

4. Limited Warranties

4.1 Playgroundfun.org.uk will use its reasonable skill and care in making the Site available to you and in ensuring its continuing availability. However, because of the number of sources from which playgroundfun.org.uk obtains the Content and because of the nature of the Internet and computer software and hardware, playgroundfun.org.uk does not give you any other warranties.

All implied warranties are excluded from this Agreement to the extent that they must be excluded as a matter of law.

5. Limitation of Liability

5.1 In respect of the Content which is available free on the Site, Learn.co.uk will use its reasonable endeavours to resolve faults but because the service is free you agree that Learn.co.uk will not be liable for any losses you may incur as a result of your use or non-use of that Content. Terms and conditions of any subscription service or third party website will prevail over this Agreement.

5.2 Except where we have expressly agreed otherwise, neither you nor Learn.co.uk will be responsible for any losses that the other suffers as a result of a breach of this Agreement except those losses which are a foreseeable consequence of the breach. Neither party will be responsible for indirect losses which happen as a side-effect of the main loss or damage and which are not foreseeable by Learn.co.uk and you (such as loss of profits or loss of data).
