-The following are the rules for user behaviour on ContentDB, including reviews,
-threads, comments, and profiles. For packages, see the
-[Package Inclusion Policy](/policy_and_guidance/).

-1. **Be respectful:** attacks towards any person or group, slurs,
-    trolling/baiting, and other toxic behavior are not welcome.

-    good faith when eg: responding to reviews.
-3. **No sexual content** and ensure you keep discussion appropriate given the
-    package's [content warnings](/help/content_flags/).
-
-You can report things by clicking [report](/report/) in the footer of pages you

+
+### Protecting users from illegal content
+
+We provide this service free of charge, and on the basis that we may:
+
+* take down, or restrict access to, anything that you generate, upload or share; and
+* suspend or ban you from using all or part of the service
+
+if we think that this is reasonable to protect you, other users, the service, or us. This applies, in particular,
+to prohibited content.
+
+If we are alerted by a person to the presence of any illegal content, or we become aware of it in any other way, 
+we will swiftly take down that content.
+
+To minimise the length of time for which any illegal content within the scope of the Online Safety Act 2023 is present:
+
+* in respect of terrorism content, we offer an easy-to-access and use reporting function and will swiftly remove such content when we become aware of it.
+* in respect of child sexual exploitation or abuse content, we offer an easy-to-access and use reporting function and will swiftly remove such content when we become aware of it.
+* in respect of other content that amounts to an offence specified in Schedule 7, Online Safety Act 2023, we offer an easy-to-access and use reporting function and will swiftly remove such content when we become aware of it.
+
+### Protecting children
+
+We protect all children from the kinds of content listed in "Prohibited Content" by:
+
+* prohibiting that type of content from our service; and
+* swiftly taking down that content, if we are alerted by a person to its presence, or we become aware of it in any other way.
+
+### Proactive technology
+
+We do not use proactive technology to detect illegal content.
+
+
+## Limitation of Liability
+
+THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE
+FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF
+OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SERVICE.
+
+We reserve the right to ban or suspend your account, or take down your content, for any reason.
+
+
+## Jurisdiction and Governing Law
+
+This service is subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.
+
+
+## Complaints
+
+### Reporting content
+
+You may report content by clicking the report flag next to a comment or "Report" on the page containing the content.
+
+You can also make reports by [contacting the admin]({{ admin_contact_url }}).
+
+### Complaints and Appeals
+
+You may send a complaint / request an appeal by [contacting the admin]({{ admin_contact_url }}). 
+
+### Your right to bring a claim
+
+This clause applies only to users within the United Kingdom.
+
+The Online Safety Act 2023 says that you have a right to bring a claim for breach of contract if:
+
+* anything that you generate, upload or share is taken down, or access to it is restricted, in breach of the terms of service, or
+* you are suspended or banned from using the service in breach of the terms of service.
+
+This does not apply to emails, SMS messages, MMS messages, one-to-one live aural communications,
+comments and reviews (together with any further comments on such comments or reviews), or content which identifies
+you as a user (e.g. a user name or profile picture).
+
+Whether or not a contract exists between you and us is a question of fact. If we do not have a contractual
+relationship with you in respect of the service, there can be no breach of contract and, as such, this cannot apply.
+
+It is for a court to determine:
+
+- if there is a contract between you and us and, if so, its terms
+- if there has been a breach by us of that contract
+- if that breach has caused you any recoverable loss
+- the size (e.g. value) of your loss
+
+This clause is subject to "Limitation of liability" and "Jurisdiction".
