1. About these terms
These terms apply to dorchesterroundtable.co.uk, links.dorch.uk and the pages and services we make available through them. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.
The website is operated for Dorchester Round Table 323 and Dorchester Round Table Charitable Trust Fund, registered charity number 1047361. Fundraising and charitable donations are undertaken for the Trust Fund. The charity's registered contact address is 3 Monmouth Road, Dorchester, Dorset, DT1 2DE.
2. Using the website
You may use the website free of charge for lawful, personal and non-commercial purposes. You are responsible for your internet connection, device and any costs charged by your provider.
You must not:
- use the website in a way that is unlawful, fraudulent, abusive or infringes another person's rights;
- submit false, misleading, harmful or offensive material;
- attempt to bypass security, human verification, access controls or rate limits;
- introduce malware, interfere with the website or place an unreasonable load on it; or
- scrape, copy or reuse content in a way that breaches these terms or applicable law.
We may restrict or block access where reasonably necessary to protect the website, our users or our organisations.
3. Website information and enquiries
We take reasonable care to keep information accurate and current, but event dates, availability, membership details, fundraising information and other content may change. Please check important details with us before making plans or relying on them.
Submitting a form or sending a message does not guarantee membership, sponsorship, a grant, an event place or any other arrangement. An arrangement exists only when it has been confirmed by an authorised representative and any separate requirements have been met. Event-specific, membership or sponsorship terms may also apply and will take priority if they conflict with these website terms.
The website content is general information, not legal, financial, medical or other professional advice.
4. Donations
A donation is a voluntary gift to Dorchester Round Table Charitable Trust Fund. Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, making a donation does not buy goods, services, membership or a right to direct how the funds are used. Trustees apply funds in line with the charity's governing document and legal duties.
Online donations are completed through NatWest Payit. Its own terms, privacy information and technical requirements apply once you leave our website. We do not receive or store your payment card or online banking credentials.
We may refuse or return a donation where required by law, where a condition is unlawful or cannot be accepted, where the payment appears unauthorised or fraudulent, or where the trustees reasonably decide that doing so is in the charity's best interests and have the legal power to do so. Refund requests are considered individually and donations cannot usually be refunded simply because a donor changes their mind.
If an appeal cannot proceed or a donation cannot be used for a stated restricted purpose, we will deal with the funds in accordance with charity law and any information provided for that appeal.
5. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the website and its original text, design, graphics, photographs, videos and other content are owned by us or used with permission and are protected by intellectual property law.
You may view the website and print or save reasonable extracts for personal, non-commercial use. You must not reproduce, modify, republish, sell, license or exploit substantial content without prior written permission, except where the law permits. Round Table names, badges and logos may also belong to national or international Round Table organisations and must not be used in a way that suggests endorsement.
6. Linking to our website
You may link to public pages in a fair and lawful way that does not damage our reputation or falsely suggest association, approval or endorsement. You must not frame the website within another service or link from content that is unlawful or seriously harmful. We may ask you to remove a link where these conditions are not met.
7. Third-party websites and services
The website links to payment, social media, sponsor and other external services. Links are provided for convenience and do not mean that we control or endorse everything on those services. Their terms and privacy policies apply, and you should review them before providing information or making a payment. We are not responsible for their availability, security or content.
8. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the website available and secure, but access may be interrupted and content may be changed, suspended or withdrawn without notice. We do not promise that the website will always be available, free from errors or compatible with every device. We may update these terms when the website, our activities or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
9. Our responsibility to you
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or your statutory rights.
If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage that is a foreseeable result of that failure or of our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss or damage that is not foreseeable, results from circumstances outside our reasonable control, or arises from using the website for business or commercial purposes.
You are responsible for taking reasonable precautions to protect your devices and data when using the internet.
10. Personal information
Our privacy policy explains how we collect and use personal information. Please read it before submitting a form. You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide is accurate and that you have authority to provide any information about another person.
11. General terms
If a court finds part of these terms unlawful or unenforceable, the rest will continue to apply. A delay in enforcing a right does not waive that right. These terms do not give rights to anyone other than you and the organisations identified in section 1.
12. Governing law
These terms and any non-contractual dispute are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction, although if you live elsewhere in the United Kingdom you may also have the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
