Moderation will only take place during office hours of 9:30am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) and it may therefore take some time for your contribution to be published on the website.

LOCOG will, when necessary, not publish any content which it feels does not comply with the Community Rules or any content that may put it in legal jeopardy such as potentially libellous or defamatory postings or material posted in potential breach of copyright. Please be aware that our moderators may contact you by email in relation to your participation, especially when an issue comes up in relation to these Community Rules. Any advice they give/request should be adhered to, as our moderators are employed to enforce these Community Rules and create a constructive environment for everyone who contributes to filmnation.org.uk. All actions and decisions taken by us and our moderators are final. We will not enter into correspondence regarding specific moderation activity or decisions.

Safety – we advise that you never reveal any personal information about yourself or anyone else (except on your application to the competition which will not be published on the website).

General

If any of these terms are determined to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by reason of the laws of any state or country in which these terms are intended to be effective, then to the extent and within the jurisdiction in which that term is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and deleted from these terms and the remaining terms shall survive and continue to be binding and enforceable.

The failure or delay of LOCOG to exercise or enforce any right in these terms does not waive LOCOG's right to enforce that right.
