This Website is operated and hosted by Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), a registered UK charitable organisation, on behalf of the ProBleu consortium. It is intended to not only provide access to ProBleu teaching materials to schools and members of the public (Users) but also to allow the same to upload their own materials for the same purpose (Contributors). For this reason PML is responsible for ensuring that copyrighted material is not uploaded to the ProBleu platform without the permission of the copyright holder (the legal owner) of any such materials. This means that if copyrighted material is uploaded by a contributor without the copyright owner’s permission, both the contributor and the platform could be held liable for copyright infringement.
To avoid liability PML will always endeavour to act quickly take the appropriate action, such as removing the infringing material as soon as it is notified of its presence.
If you believe any content you upload may contain any copyrighted material, a good example of this is photographs downloaded from the internet, then you should seek authorisation from the copyright-holders in respect of the content and remove any content for which authorisation is refused or for which you do not get a response. Please note that complying with the above is part of ProBleu’s terms and conditions found below.
Lastly please ensure that any materials you upload on to the ProBleu Website are consistent with ProBleu's aims and objectives found here
