Social Media Terms of Use

The State Trustees Social Media Terms of Use (Terms of Use) sets out the rights of State Trustees when engaging with the public through its various social media pages. Users of State Trustees’ social media pages should refrain from using, or engaging with the social media pages if they do not accept these Terms of Use.

State Trustees reserves the right to alter these Terms of Use without any advance notice and to close any of its social media pages, for any reason, without notice.

When contributing your views to State Trustees’ social media pages, please respect other users and ensure that any material you share complies with the Terms of Use of each social network provider (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn.)

Acceptable use and moderation

State Trustees moderates the social media pages it operates during regular business hours and will moderate any material that is:

• abusive, threatening, defamatory or obscene
• fraudulent, deceptive or misleading
• in violation of any law or regulation
• otherwise offensive or inappropriate
• overtly political
• not suitable for all ages
• discriminatory or offensive (particularly regarding the race, age, gender, sexuality, political leaning, religion or disability of others)
• offering to sell goods or services, competitions, chain letters, spam or any other unsolicited commercial messages

State Trustees reserves the right to permanently remove unsuitable content from its social media pages, without informing the user, including those that violate our Terms of Use and accepts no liability for any loss or damage caused by, or in connection with, such removal.

State Trustees does not undertake to inform users when their comments and posts are moderated. Repeat offenders may be blocked from contributing to State Trustee social media pages without any warning. Where we deem it appropriate, such as if we believe that the content is personal or affects other users’ enjoyment, we may remove comments and take the discussion ‘offline’ or into a private channel.

Responding to your enquiries

State Trustees will endeavour to respond to social media posts requesting further information promptly during business hours. We will not post responses outside of business hours.

Social media services may occasionally be unavailable, and State Trustees accepts no responsibility for lack of response due to network downtime.
