Kairos Web Site - Legal Notice & Terms of Use
Friendly Non-Legal Version
We want to recognise and respect the intellectual and commercial rights of others, and similarly we want others to respect our rights. Accordingly we fully acknowledge the intellectual property, copyright, trademarks, patents and any other form of protection provided for under English law. Please ensure you do the same to ours.
If we have infringed any of the above that belong to you or your organisation, it is unintentional, so please let us know and we will remedy the situation as soon as possible. Please e-mail us at:
legal@thekairosgroup.net
We do not seek to shock or offend. However, we believe in free expression and free speech and therefore we have a significant amount of information, articles and viewpoints expressed in the site. These are not necessarily those of The Kairos Group. If anything you see or hear offends you, we are sorry; it is unintentional. Please let us know and we will review it on a reasonable and free speech basis.
Where we are happy to allow access to and use of our intellectual property, it will only be on the basis of a Creative Commons License - it will be clearly indicated when this applies. We do not allow the use of our intellectual property without our express written permission, (this is the default position). You should be aware that we will uphold and defend our rights vigorously and pursue recompense from any one who steals from us.
For those of you who like the detail, here is the comprehensively legal version of the above:
