Code of Conduct

Onewave visitors have a safe, interesting and friendly business environment for both our staff and visitors. All users of our products and service sites
and any contributions they make to the sites must comply with this Code of Conduct. Your use of our websites or equipment means that you accept
and agree to abide by this Code of Conduct, which supplements and forms part of the working documents.

We may need to revise the Code of Conduct from time to time by amending this page. Please review this page regularly to ensure you are aware of any
changes we make as they are legally binding on you.

If you reasonably believe that any contribution to our website or any documents made by another user contravenes this Code of Conduct and/or any of
the Website Terms, please notify us using the "Report Abuse"/"Flag as Inappropriate" or equivalent button.

Within this Code of Conduct, "contribution" means any material posted or uploaded to our websites by a member of the public, including without
limitation any text, photographs, graphics, video or audio material.

Your Contributions

  • Must be your own original work. You may be entitled to incorporate into
    your contribution certain material made available on our websites but only
    where that is expressly made clear. Otherwise, all material in your
    contributions must be your own original piece of work and should not
    plagiarize others' work.
  • Must not infringe anyone else's rights, including copyright. Your
    contributions must not plagiarize or infringe the rights of any other person
    including any copyright, database, trade mark, trade secret, and privacy,
    and publicity, personal or proprietary rights of any kind. Therefore with
    regard to existing articles, news reports, music, video clips or other
    copyright material you will generally need the explicit permission of the
    relevant copyright from the Onewave management.
  • Must not contain unlawful or objectionable content nor involve disruptive,
    offensive or abusive behavior. Please be respectful and civil to other
    members, even if you disagree with them. Material that is unlawful,
    harassing, threatening, defamatory, obscene, offensive, abusive, hateful,
    inflammatory, profane, racially, sexually or religiously offensive or otherwise
    objectionable or unlawful is not acceptable.
  • Must not contain unsuitable or irrelevant website addresses or URLs. Links
    to pornography, commercial or other inappropriate content may be deleted.
  • Must not promote illegal or anti-social behavior. Contributions must not
    contain violent or sexually explicit material or advocate, promote or assist
    any unlawful act such as (by way of example only) terrorist acts, copyright
    infringement or computer misuse
  • Must not misrepresent Onewave or their products. Contributions and/or
    user names may not be used to impersonate any other person, to
    misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or to give the
    impression that they emanate from us, if that is not the case.
  • Must not be in any language other than English (or the predominant
    language of the website if not English). Contributions in other languages
    may be removed
  • Must not involve any flooding, spamming or advertising. Flooding is when
    the same comment is posted over and over in the same forum; spamming is
    the posting of the same comment (or very similar) to more than one forum.
    All advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, junk mail and any other
    forms of commercial solicitation are prohibited
  • Must not disclose any personal information. Contributions to this website
    are publicly available and can be viewed by others with whom you may not
    wish to share such information. Do not include any personal or personally
    identifiable information about you or others (including your own or anyone else's email address).
  • Must not include spoilers. Please do not post any messages in forums (or in
    any other form of contribution) containing plot developments that have yet
    to be broadcast on local television, radio or in cinemas.

    you.
