in connection with any business or commercial undertaking (whether

of Trinity Mirror is strictly prohibited. You also agree not to
deep-link and/or frame to any of the Sites for any purpose, unless
specifically authorised by Trinity Mirror to do so.
2.1 You agree that:
(a) you shall not use the Sites or the Interactive Services to transmit
or knowingly or recklessly receive (or knowingly or recklessly authorise
or permit any other person to receive or transmit) material which
is obscene, threatening, menacing, offensive, defamatory, abusive,
in breach of confidence, in breach of any intellectual property
right (including copyright) or otherwise violates any applicable
law or regulation or code, or which makes excessive demands for
bandwidth or contains any virus or which may otherwise impair or
harm Trinity Mirror's computer systems or any third party computer
system; and
(b) you will keep your passwords relevant to the Sites and/or the

any views or comment made). All information and/or data included
in and/or on the Sites, the Interactive Services and/or in any directory
or other listings or information retrieval service made available
on or by the Sites and/or the Interactive Services has been so made

service provider and/or web site operator (as applicable) each day,
it is not technically possible nor economically feasible to monitor
all materials that pass through its system (including, without limitation,

limit access to material unless notified that it is illegal. Notwithstanding,

may be illegal.
