Terms and Conditions

Still Comrades is an independent community for serving and former members of the armed forces and emergency services, provided at stillcomrades.com and stillcomrades.co.uk. In these terms, 'we' and 'us' mean Still Comrades, and 'you' means the person using the site.

Membership is open to serving and former personnel of any military or emergency service — armed forces, Police, Fire and rescue, and Ambulance — of any nation, and to the family members and supporters who wish to take part. You must be 16 or over.

We ask for accurate details when you apply. Impersonating another person, or applying on someone else's behalf without their agreement, is a breach of these terms.

There is no charge for membership and no payment system on this site. If we ever introduce a paid feature, it will be optional, announced in advance, and nothing you have already shared will become chargeable.

You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details safe and for activity under your account. Tell us promptly if you believe someone else has access to it.

You keep the copyright in everything you write or upload. By submitting material you give us permission to store it, edit it lightly for spelling, length or to remove identifying details, and publish it on this site with the name you have chosen.

You confirm that you own the material or have permission from whoever does — in particular for photographs of other people — and that publishing it does not breach anyone's privacy or copyright.

You can ask us to amend or remove your material at any time and we will act promptly.

Your use of Still Comrades is governed by our community guidelines, which form part of these terms. In short: be decent to other members, do not publish anything about current operations, and do not upload other people's material without permission.

Entries in the Roll of Remembrance are reviewed before publication. We may ask for confirmation that a family is aware of a submission. We may decline or remove material that is inaccurate, that identifies someone without consent, or that turns remembrance into a dispute.

We may edit, move or remove content, and may suspend or end a membership, where we reasonably believe these terms or the community guidelines have been broken, or where keeping the content would put someone at risk. We will explain our reasons where it is appropriate to do so.

We may link to other websites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or their handling of your information.

We provide the site with reasonable care and skill, but we do not promise it will always be available or free of error. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for the content posted by members.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

You may close your membership at any time from your profile page or by contacting us. You then choose, for each kind of material you have contributed, whether it is kept, withdrawn or deleted, and a kept item can have your name replaced with 'Former member'. A short record of the closure, and of any moderation decision, is kept; our privacy policy explains exactly what removal does and does not reach.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. If you live elsewhere, this does not remove any protection you have under your own country's consumer law.

We may update these terms as the community grows. The current version always appears on this page, with the date it was last changed.
