1. Introduction

This Agreement is a legal document, which sets out your rights and obligations, and you must take the time to read and understand it, before registering for the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service. By registering, you accept that you are entering into a contract with us on the terms of this Agreement. Visitors to the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service who do not register to become a Member (see 2 below) similarly affirm that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service. We do not separately file the individual Agreements entered into by Members. However, you can access the Agreement using the link to our Terms and Conditions on each page of the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service and print it off, should you so wish. You should be aware that this Agreement might change from time to time in accordance with Clause 23 below.

2. Types of membership

Fee paying people who register for the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service become "Search Members". They must be at least 16 years of age. The Membership divides between those who decide to pay our fee for a full annual membership (which we call "Search Members"), and those who do not are shown as ("Registration Members").

Registration Members:

(a) May add all or part of their Ancestors Addresses which relates to their family tree, using the facilities we make available for doing so. Important: Members must have, and continue to have, the express permission of any living person to include their details in a family tree. If a Member is asked to do so, relevant details must be removed. Registration members are the controllers of the information they input relating to living persons, and therefore have obligations under the privacy and data protection laws (such as the Data Protection Act 1998). HomesReunitedUK.co.uk (Crimesite Ltd) may remove all or part of a family tree if so required;

(b) Can search for individuals against such criteria as may be required by the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service.

(c) Can receive emailed messages, which will be sent to the email address contained in Your Details (which are provided during Registration and may be updated subsequently), notifying them of contacts sent by Search Members which can be viewed in the Message Centre on the site; and reply to those messages sent by Search Members;

(d) Will receive an email from us when another member enters a family name that already exists in your tree, as well any other emails they opt to receive during the Registration process (as added to, or de-selected, subsequently); each email will give the Registration member an opportunity to opt-out of receiving future emails of that type.

(e) Opt to receive our emailed Newsletter for the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service; each Newsletter will give Registration members an opportunity to opt-out of receiving future Newsletters.

In addition, Registration Members may:

(a) Send email messages to addresses of both Registration and Search Members, following a successful search.

(b) Post to any message boards, which may be available on the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service.

(c) Upload photographs. If any photograph contains the image of a living person, the Registration member uploading it must obtain the prior consent of that person to the photograph appearing on the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service, and must ensure the compliance of each such photograph with all privacy, data protection and other laws (such as the Data Protection Act 1998). Crimesite Ltd may remove any photograph from the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service if requested to do so by any affected person. We are not an Internet service provider, however. In order to avail of the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service, you must have Internet access, all the software (and skills) required for email and web usage. Please also note that some or all of the family tree details and/or message board postings you input onto the HomesReunitedUK.co.uk Service may be capable of being viewed by Search members who access the relevant information by means of searches conducted through internet search engines and the like
.
3. Important Note

Search membership. If you decide to become a Search member, and therefore pay our Search membership fee, you are agreeing to take the Search membership we make available to you promptly after that fee is paid. This means that you do not have the right to cancel your Search Membership during the cooling-off period, which is provided for certain, purchases under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000. The Full Membership fee has two components:

a. "Subscription fee" of £35. The subscription fee relates to the Search member's use of the other benefits of Search membership during the twelve-month subscription period. The Search Membership fee will be communicated to you when you sign up for Search Membership. Also provided under the terms of the agreement is Three (3) months Search fee of £12.50 and £19.50 for six (6) months inclusive.

If you wish to continue your Search membership after the expiry of your twelve- month subscription period, we will enable you to do so, at our then-current terms and prices. But please note that we reserve the right to change the amount of the fee for Search Membership, the period, which it covers, the services, which it enables you to obtain, and other factors from time to time. However, these changes, unless they are changes under Clause 9 or Clause 10 below, will not affect your then-current Search membership.
