  5. Use Of The Website

    1. By agreeing to our Terms, you are consenting to access and use the Website only in accordance with these Terms and, in particular, in compliance with our User Rules, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy (all of which being set out later in these Terms).
    2. You are not required to provide any additional personal information in the user areas of the Website at all (beyond that already provided to us for the purposes of registration). However, if you choose to do so, in the way and for the reasons explained on the various pages of the Website, you acknowledge and accept that such information will be published on the Website in and to the following ways and extent:
    3. The 'Who's Doing What' carousel - This feature is displayed as a carousel on every page on the desktop page of the Website. It also has its own dedicated page on the web app and native apps. It displays all users and their social activity, which can include: 'Going out'; 'Staying in'; and 'Undecided'. It will also display the date of this activity and, if the user is going out, the venues attended. This carousel will display this information to all users regardless of the individual user's privacy settings.
    4. The 'Auto Checkin' facility - This is the name of a feature of our native app that is available for iPhone and Android. Using it, we monitor each user's location using the background location services on their phone. Your location will be checked periodically and sent to our server. The system will then check to see what venues are within 50 metres of your location. If the same venues are returned after two consecutive location checks, we prompt you to check in by displaying a list of potential venues nearby. There is also a settings menu whereby you can adjust various settings, which can be turned off. When you first download and open the app, the OS of the phone will ask for your permission to check your location. If you select 'no', your location will not be checked unless the settings are changed by you at some later point. However, by permitting use of the app you are necessarily consenting to the tracking of your location and to the disclosure to other users that you will be attending a given venue on a given occasion.
    5. Geo Located Push Notifications - We allow venues to send this kind of notification to users. For example, it could be 11pm and a given nightclub is not at full capacity and wishes to attract more people. The venue can go on to Licklist and send a geo-located push notification message to all people within a one mile radius of their venue. They can be even more specific e.g. notify all people within a one mile radius of their venue who are female, aged 18 - 25, and like House music. You have the ability to turn off this function entirely in your settings or to allow only notifications from selected venues. Again, when you first download and open the app, the OS of the phone will ask for your permission to send push notifications. If you select 'no', you will not be sent push notifications. You will also receive general push notifications for events such as friend requests, comments, review etc.. These can all be controlled in your settings menu. However, by permitting geo push notifications you are necessarily consenting to the tracking of your location and to being sent messages from participating venues based on that location.
    6. The 'Open chat' facility - Every venue page has an open chat facility. In this way, venues can communicate directly to users, and users can speak with other users. In this area, all of this communication can take place regardless of the individual user's privacy settings. By participating in this area you are necessarily consenting to disclosure to other users of the information you chose to post and to permitting other users to message you regardless of your privacy settings.
    7. Facebook importing - For all venues that have a Facebook page, we automatically extract the following information and display it on their Licklist directory page: 'Status Updates'; 'Events'; 'Offers'; and 'Galleries'. We also import from the Facebook accounts of users posts that disclose that they are going to attend a particular event. By providing us with your Facebook details you are necessarily consenting to us importing your personal details from that source, including but not limited to events that you may attend, offers that you may have received, and galleries in which photographs of you may appear. We may also import from Facebook into our 'Who's Doing What Carousel' the identities of Facebook users who have said that they are going to a particular venue.
      1. Model release / license to use & reproduce: By entering any venue / event as Licklist Ltd. may attend you consent to interviews, audio recording, data gathering and the capture of your photographic likeness (both in stills and video) and the unstipulated release of such, for exploitation through any means and for any purpose by Licklist Ltd. it’s affiliates and agents. You waive all rights and claims in entirety for payment or royalties in connection with any subsequent publication, distribution or sale of such. With due cause, you may request your photographic likeness be withdrawn from www.licklist.co.uk and our retail archives; providing offending material is reported (using the ‘report’ button as appears next to each and every image on the Licklist network) within 72 hrs. of original publication. Should no objection be raised within 72 hrs. of original publication, clause 7.1 shall from a legally binding contract between you (the ‘model’) & Licklist Ltd. (the ‘retailer’).
    8. If you do choose to upload personal information about yourself and your activities on to the Website this will be visible and thereby disclosed to other users, subject to our Terms. We may also collect the personally identifiable information that you choose to disclose voluntarily and we may also collect automatically certain website use information as you browse the Website, subject to our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy (set out later in these Terms).
    9. By agreeing to our Terms, you are consenting to the collection, retention and disclosure to users of the Website of this personally identifiable information.
    10. We will only use the information you provide to us on these pages for the purposes set out in these Terms.

Such communications are at your own risk.
    10. If we choose to delay enforcing any of our rights relating to these Terms, or even not to enforce all or any part of them in a given circumstance, context or instance, we may do so at our absolute discretion. Any such delay or non-enforcement on our behalf will not be deemed to be a waiver of those rights or of any other provision or as our acquiescence in respect of the conduct or actions of any user, and will not in any way prejudice or limit our full legal rights and remedies under the Terms and generally.
    11. Nothing in the exclusions contained in this clause or elsewhere in the Terms shall be interpreted as an attempt to exclude or limit statutory liabilities which cannot be excluded by law, nor our tortious liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, fraud, fundamental misrepresentation, or any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited by law.
