We try to keep this website available 24 hours a day: however, we will not be liable if for any reason this website is unavailable at any time or for any period. 

Revision of these terms

We may revise these terms at any time by updating them and re-posting them here. You should check to see if these terms have been revised from time to time because they are binding on you in their current form and in any revised form once posted here. Other terms relating to the use of specific parts of this website may be posted at other locations (“specific terms”); for example, terms that apply to the use of RNID’s online shopping facility. If there is any conflict between specific terms and these more general terms then the specific terms will take precedence over these terms.

You agree to provide us with accurate information when registering. You also agree to notify us of any changes to that information, to ensure that it remains accurate at all times. We reserve the right to refuse you access to this website if any information provided by you proves to be inaccurate.
