Prohibited uses

You may only use Xibo for lawful purposes. You may not use Xibo:

  • In any way that breaches any applicable local, national or international law or regulation.

  • In any way that is unlawful or fraudulent, or has any unlawful or fraudulent purpose or effect.

  • For the purpose of harming or attempting to harm minors in any way.

  • To send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use or re-use any material which does not comply with our content standards below.

  • To transmit, or procure the sending of, any unsolicited or unauthorised advertising or promotional material or any other form of similar solicitation (spam).

  • To knowingly transmit any data, send or upload any material that contains viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time-bombs, keystroke loggers, spyware, adware or any other harmful programs or similar computer code designed to adversely affect the operation of any computer software or hardware.

You also agree:

  • Not to reproduce, duplicate, copy or re-sell any part of our site in contravention of the provisions of our Ts&Cs.

  • Not to access without authority, interfere with, damage or disrupt:

    • any part of Xibo;
    • any equipment or network on which Xibo is stored;
    • any software used in the provision of Xibo; or
    • any equipment or network or software owned or used by any third party.

You also agree not to circumvent or avoid paying the prescribed charges for use of the service. So for example, it is not acceptable to connect more Players to a CMS than you have purchased Display Slots for that CMS, nor is it acceptable to run more commercial Players than you have licenses for that type of Player. The above examples are not exhaustive but illustrative.

Interactive services

We may from time to time provide interactive services as part of Xibo, including, without limitation:

  • Chat rooms
  • Bulletin boards
  • Xibo Helpdesk

Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users from third parties when they use any interactive service provided, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

Xibo is only for use by those over 18.

Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
