11. THIRD PARTY MATERIAL
Some information contained in the Platform may link you to sites that are not owned or under the control of Glasgow Film At Home. Glasgow Film At Home assumes no responsibility or liability for the content of those sites or otherwise for any third party material that may feature on the Platform.
12. OBJECTIONABLE MATERIAL
While using Glasgow Film At Home, you may encounter content that you may find offensive, indecent or objectionable. Although certification will be provided where applicable (see below), this is intended to indicate the age suitability of titles and may not specifically identify having explicit language, imagery or other attributes.
Use of The Platform is at the sole risk of the consumer and Glasgow Film At Home has no liability for any content. Content types, genres, categories, and descriptions are provided for convenience, and Glasgow Film At Home does not guarantee their accuracy.
British Board of Film Classification Certification:
- U - Universal. Suitable for ages 4 and above
- PG - Parental Guidance. Generally suitable for most viewers but may contain scenes unsuitable for children under 8 years. Children may watch unaccompanied but parents are advised to consider if content may upset younger or sensitive children.
- 12 - Generally unsuitable for those under 12 years. No-one under the age of 12 years may rent or watch a 12-rated video.
- 15 - No-one under the age of 15 years may rent or view a 15-rated video.
- 18 - No-one under the age of 18 years may rent or view an 18-rated video.
Certain titles featured on Glasgow Film At Home may not have been certified by the BBFC as they have yet to find representation with a UK distributor. These titles are accompanied by an age appropriate recommendation supplied by Glasgow Film At Home. These recommendations will be presented in the format: ‘N/C’ (Not Certified) followed by a numerical value, such as ‘15+’ for example. The numerical value presented is indicative of the age range the title is appropriate for and should not be viewed by anyone under the age denoted. ‘N/C 15+’ would therefore mean that the title is not suitable to be viewed by anyone under the age of 15.
Platform Content may be sold on an age restricted basis. It may be unlawful for you to knowingly purchase some Platform Content if you don’t meet the minimum age requirement. In purchasing Platform Content we rely on your agreement that you are old enough to legally purchase the particular Platform Content.
