This page sets out the ground rules for taking part in the Madison Quay Forum. It covers what you can expect from the service, what we ask of you in return, and where responsibility sits when things go wrong. By joining a discussion or posting a notice, you agree to the terms below.
Madison Quay Forum is a neighbourhood discussion space for residents, shopkeepers, commuters and visitors of the riverside district. Threads cover practical topics such as parking during market days, café opening hours, lost-and-found notices, book club meetups, repair recommendations, flood-season walking routes and small business openings. The forum is moderated to keep conversations civil and useful, with pinned threads for emergency contacts and council updates.
You can start a discussion or answer a neighbour's question without creating an account. If you do register, you are responsible for keeping your login details private and for anything posted from your account. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or that misrepresents who you are. We may remove posts that breach these rules and, in repeated cases, suspend access to the forum.
Moderators keep the tone civil and useful. They may edit, move or delete threads that fall outside the forum's purpose, and they may close discussions that have run their course. Pinned threads for emergency contacts and council updates are maintained by moderators; do not post speculative or unverified information in those threads. If you see something that breaks the rules, flag it to the moderation team rather than responding in kind.
Posts reflect the views of their authors, not of Madison Quay Forum. We do not verify every recommendation, repair estimate or lost-and-found claim, and we are not liable for decisions you make based on forum content. Always use your own judgement, especially for safety-related matters like flood-season routes or emergency contacts. Where a post concerns a council service or official notice, check the linked source before relying on it.
Madison Quay Forum is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, about the availability, accuracy or reliability of the service. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the forum, including lost time, missed events or reliance on outdated information. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
You may stop using the forum at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for users who repeatedly breach these terms, who post harmful content, or who disrupt the community in a way that undermines its purpose. Where practical, we will give notice before suspension, but this may not be possible in urgent cases involving safety or legal obligations.
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the service or legal requirements. When we do, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the forum after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms. If you do not agree with a change, you should stop using the service.
If you have questions about these terms, or if you need to raise a legal matter regarding the forum, contact us at info@madisonquay.com. We aim to respond within a reasonable time and will treat your enquiry confidentially.
