www.foodchain.org.uk (“The Food Chain” or the “Site“) is operated by The Food Chain (“we“).  The Food Chain is a registered charity in England and Wales (number 1003014) at The Food Chain, Cally Yard, 439 Caledonian Road, London N7 9BG, United Kingdom.

2.  ACCEPTING OUR TERMS

These terms of use (together with any documents referred to on it including our privacy policy) tell you how you may make use of our Site including its services, products, software and content whether as a guest or a registered user.  You must not use our Site if you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with us.

Please read these terms of use carefully before you start to use the Site.  By using our Site, you indicate that you accept these terms of use as at the date of your first use of the Site and that you agree to abide by them.  If you do not agree to these terms of use, please refrain from using our Site.

3.  ACCESSING OUR SITE

Access to our Site is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw or amend the services we provide without notice.  From time to time, we may restrict or suspend access to some parts of our Site, or our entire Site, to guests or to users who have registered with us, such as volunteers and referrers.  If the need arises, we may also close our Site indefinitely.

4. ACCOUNT INFORMATION

In order to access some services and features of our Site, you will have to create an account and/or provide us with certain information about yourself or the organisation on whose behalf you are creating an account.  You agree to provide accurate and complete information at all times and to keep this information updated by sending us any changes, if applicable.

You must treat as confidential your user identification code, account password or any other information given to you as part of our security procedures.  Your user identification code and account password are strictly personal. 

You agree that you will be solely responsible for all activity occurring under your account and you shall be liable for any loss or damage arising in connection with the breach of your obligations under our terms of use. 

You agree to be responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our Site through your internet connection are aware of these terms, and that they comply with them.

We have the right to disable any user identification code or password if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms of use.

In the case of referrers, you accept to be bound by the following additional terms:

  • We will provide one user identification code and account password to you (rather than one for each of your individual users), which will allow you to access services from your account.  You must submit to The Food Chain, the name of each of the individual persons that you propose will have access to your user identification code and password and obtain prior written authorisation from us before any such person can access your account in any way.
  • We reserve the right to modify this process at any time and provide instead individual user identification codes and passwords to specific individuals within your organisation.  We will notify you upon any such change and of any new applicable terms.
  • You understand that as a referrer you will have access to personal data (within the meaning of the Data Protection Act 1998) relating to referred persons.  This may include data initially sent by the referred person when requesting a service and any ongoing data relating to the services provided by The Food Chain.  For example, any updated data could include information on whether a service request has been accepted/rejected, whether a service is ongoing/complete, or the type of service provided. 

You hereby agree to:

  • Keep any data relating to the referred person strictly confidential
  • Keep all such data appropriately secure; and
  • Comply with your obligations under the Data Protection Act 1998 and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and any other data protection laws and regulations applicable in the UK and codes of practice, guidelines and recommendations issued by the Information Commissioner or any replacement body.
  • You agree to only access and use such data to the extent that such access is strictly necessary for the purposes of the referrals to The Food Chain or to understand the outcome of a referral (for example the type of service provided and whether it is ongoing).
  • From time to time, The Food Chain may decide in its sole discretion to anonymise any updates posted in relation to the referred persons.

5.                SERVICES

The Food Chain will use reasonable endeavours to provide its services and to accommodate users with their requests.  However, you understand that the provision of services is dependent on The Food Chain’s resources and on the donations made to The Food Chain from time to time.  Therefore The Food Chain cannot guarantee in relation to any form submitted by a referred person and/or his/her referrer that a request will be successfully fulfilled.  

6.                    DONATIONS

If you sign up to become a regular donor online you have the right to cancel at any time.
