Any Material posted or supplied to the Company for publication is deemed to have been supplied in full knowledge and acceptance of these Terms.</p><p>2. The Company may change these Terms at any time by posting the changes online and it is your responsibility to check them every time you: submit Material for publication, access the blog or forum areas of the Company’s Websites or wish to make a comment.

Any Material supplied to us for publication is deemed to have been supplied in full knowledge and acceptance of the most recent updated Terms as displayed on the Company’s Websites. Your continued or renewed use of the Company’s Websites after such changes are posted means you agree to be bound by these Terms as amended.</p><h2>C. EXTERNAL CONTRIBUTIONS COVERED BY THESE TERMS</h2><p><strong>Material supplied by:</strong></p><p><strong>1.

There may be occasions when there is a delay in publishing your Material. Should this be the case, after a reasonable time has elapsed from the date when you submitted your Material, it may be possible to request a waiver by the Company of its exclusive right to first publication of your Material.
