1.2 PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE (“Terms”) BEFORE USING OUR SITE. By using our site you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t wish to be bound by what you read below, you shouldn’t use www.no-offence.org
1.3 We may make changes to these Terms at any time.

2. What we do
2.1 This site is all about sharing information on Criminal Justice. We provide regularly updated general information and news items for information purposes and to generate discussion amongst our readers. The information that you read on this site is a great starting point for your further research into what suits your particular criminal justice requirements.
3. What we don’t do
3.1 The information we provide does not address your individual requirements. In particular, our information does not constitute any form of advice, recommendation, representation, endorsement or arrangement by us and is not intended to be relied upon by you in making (or refraining from making) any decisions. If we mention organisations on our site, we usually do so because of their past performance, which is no guarantee of future performance, of course! As general policy we don’t vet them on customer service or investigate their solvency. You should always carry out your own research into the thing that is of interest to you, and due diligence checks on any connections with whom you may decide to engage.

If you do decide to do business with one of the organisations, please read their contract carefully before deciding what to do. Remember, any contract that you enter into with such organisations will be with them, not us
