We strive to ensure that the information provided on this website is accurate, but no guarantee can be made. Information is provided as goodwill to those who are interested in the work this site does. The type of webpage means that The UK Hand Dryer Blog often has to catch up with changes and details that may occur.

Use of Submitted Photos

 

Any photo on this website will have credits for who took it, except in two instances. The first is if no credit has been provided or requested, in which case this will be stated and ''SPECIMEN'' will be written at least once on the photo. The second is if one of the two owners have created it, in which credit might not be provided using the owners name or channel name. If there is any queries about this, please contact us using the form at the bottom of the homepage.

Use Of Our Data

We do not allow any usage of any text written on this site (on another source/webpage/in-writing). This is because our website is unique and owners put effort into what we type.

User Generated Content

The UK Hand Dryer Blog allows users to submit their contact details, and submit photos through third-party sites. For safety purposes we require everybody who wishes to register with the website to either be aged 13 or over, or to be supervised by somebody who is whenever using the contact form.

We expect all images and information to be submitted in good faith. This means any contribution:

• shouldn't be infringing on any laws (including copyright restrictions)

• should be trying to improve the website, rather than deliberately degrade it

• shouldn't be trying to impersonate somebody you are not, or providing contact information (email addresses) that don't work

Where we suspect that these rules are being deliberately broken, we reserve the right to remove any photo and prevent the user from submitting to the website again.  In practice, this is rarely necessary.

Somebody who contributes to The UK Hand Dryer Blog in any form is regarded as a "contributor". Contributors are simply volunteers who act in their own capacity, we do not tell people how to behave and contributors must appreciate that The UK Hand Dryer Blog can't take responsibility for their actions or for any consequences of their contribution. For this reason, contributors must not imply that they are working under any contract to The UK Hand Dryer Blog, or that their actions or opinions are in any way endorsed by The UK Hand Dryer Blog or by its owner. Third parties who have a concern with somebody who claims to be a contributor should take this up with the person directly in the first instance, The UK Hand Dryer Blog may offer assistance as an intermediary body if it believes this would be beneficial.

We require any contributor who works for a business who has their pictures on this website to follow any advice given by your employer, which likely includes not naming who you work for  and not leaking confidential information in any submitted items. If you want to disclose information to us off the record then you can always contact us using the form at the bottom of the homepage.
