Some parts of the website may allow users to create an account, leave comments, download resources or use other interactive features.

In particular, you must not:

- attempt to gain unauthorised access to accounts, administration areas, servers, databases or other systems;

Where Going Fishing allows you to create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity carried out through your account.
You should provide accurate information and tell us if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.
We may restrict, suspend or close an account where reasonably necessary to protect the website or its users, investigate misuse, enforce these terms or comply with a legal requirement.
5. Comments and User Content
Where users can submit comments or other content, you remain responsible for what you submit.
You must not submit content that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, deliberately misleading, discriminatory, obscene, infringing of another person's rights, spam, advertising without permission, or otherwise inappropriate for the website.
We reserve the right to moderate, refuse, edit or remove user-submitted content where we reasonably consider this necessary.

You must not reproduce, republish, sell, redistribute or commercially exploit substantial Going Fishing content without prior permission, except where permitted by law.
7. Fishing Information and Advice
Going Fishing contains information based on our own experience, research and the experiences of other anglers. Fishing is affected by many variables, including weather, water conditions, fish behaviour, tackle, bait and individual angling decisions. A technique that works on one occasion may not work on another.
Our articles, videos, lessons, guides and other fishing content are therefore provided for general information and education. They are not a guarantee of catches, results or competition performance.
Anglers remain responsible for choosing suitable tackle and techniques, fishing safely and complying with applicable laws, fishery rules and other requirements.
8. Venue and Fishery Information
We make reasonable efforts to keep venue and fishery information useful and accurate. However, information such as prices, opening times, rules, facilities, access arrangements, contact details and fishing conditions can change.
You should check important information directly with the relevant fishery or venue before travelling or making decisions based upon information published on Going Fishing.
9. Downloads and Resources
Going Fishing may provide guides, checklists, worksheets, ebooks or other downloadable resources.
Unless otherwise stated, these resources are provided for personal, non-commercial use. You may not sell, commercially redistribute or present them as your own work without permission.
10. Links and Third-Party Content
Going Fishing may link to or embed content from third-party websites and services.
We are not responsible for the availability, content, security or privacy practices of websites operated by other organisations. A link to another website does not necessarily mean that Going Fishing endorses everything published or offered there.
11. Availability of the Website
We aim to keep Going Fishing available and working properly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.
We may change, update, temporarily suspend or remove parts of the website where necessary for maintenance, security, development or other operational reasons.

We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information, but information on Going Fishing may occasionally contain errors or become out of date.
