1. Take Down Policy

   1. Take Down Procedure

We take the posting of any material which amounts to defamation, infringement of intellectual property or breach of our General Terms seriously. The following procedure for giving us notice of any such material is incorporated into our General Terms. To help us deal with such material quickly and effectively, we ask that you comply with the provisions set out in this Notice and Take Down Procedure.

We will review any Take Down Notice (as defined below) as soon as reasonably practicable and will act expeditiously to remove any material that we have reason to believe is defamatory, breaches the intellectual property rights of any third party and/or is otherwise in breach of our General Terms (‘Offending Material’). As part of our response, we may remove or disable access to any Offending Material. You authorise us to contact the person, firm, company or organisation that submitted the Offending Material to alert them to the action we are taking.

A Take Down Notice is a legally significant document. You are recommended to take legal advice on your legal rights and obligations before giving a Take Down Notice

1. Take Down Notice

To be valid, a Take Down Notice must contain:

1. sufficient information to enable us to identify the allegedly Offending Material. If there are large amounts of allegedly Offending Material, please provide a representative list of such materials, for example, copies of the infringing material and identifying information, such as the name of the account from which the material has been posted or contributed;
2. sufficient information to enable us to identify and locate the allegedly Offending Material (for example by providing the date and time on which the material was made available on the Websites;

4. your confirmation, given in good faith, that the material described in the Take Down Notice is Offending Material, that your Take Down Notice is true and accurate and that you are, or are authorised to act on behalf of, the party that has been harmed by and/or is complaining against the allegedly Offending Material; and
5. Your physical or electronic signature.

Your Take Down Notice should be forwarded by email to [email protected]

1. Miscellaneous

   1. Inconsistency

In the event of inconsistency between these General Terms and any terms and conditions attaching to a particular Service (including any Registered User, Subscriber or Employment Service), those terms and conditions relating to a particular Service shall take precedence.

1. No offers where illegality arises

Nothing on the Websites constitutes an offer to provide Services in any jurisdiction if to do so would contravene the laws of that jurisdiction.

1. Nothing in the Websites, including these General Terms is to be construed as an offer to enter into a contract with Global Travel Investment in relation to the provision of any goods and/or services including the Subscriber Services. The Websites and the Services displayed within them are an invitation to treat only.
2. We are only prepared to provide the Services on the terms and conditions outlined in these General Terms. If a User orders Services on other terms or conditions, any supply of products or services by us is by way of counter-offer to such offer on the basis of these General Terms which may be accepted by such User by accepting the Services. Any charge by us to any User’s nominated credit card or other electronic payment facility is not an acceptance of that offered terms and conditions but is in implementation of our counter-offer to such User. We will reverse any charge if a User does not accept our counter-offer.
3. Publishing information about the Services on the Websites does not ensure its availability and price information is subject to change without notice

1. We are not liable for events outside our reasonable control. Any act or situation which is beyond our reasonable control is known as a “Force Majeure Event“.
