Welcome to our website www.alcoholandyouni.com (the “Website”). The Website is provided by FASA (Forum for Action on Substance Abuse) (“we”, “us”, “our” and “ours” for short). We are a charity registered in Northern Ireland. Our Registered Charity Number is XR 16736 and our registered address is 178 – 180 Shankill Road, Belfast, BT13 2BH. “you” and “your” means you as the user of our Website and/or Alcohol and You (as applicable).

We have set out the terms under which we are providing you with access to our Website.

These include the terms and conditions that govern:

a) your use of the Website (including your rights to link to the Website) as set out in these (the “Terms of Use”);

b) how we will use and protect information about you (see our separate “Privacy Policy”); and

c) our use of cookies on the Website (see our separate “Cookie Policy”).

Collectively these documents are termed as the “Terms and Conditions”.

The term “Website” includes the My Alcohol and You tool. Alcohol and You is a free web-based self help tool which is intended for use by adults aged 18 years or older who reside in the UK. Our aim is to promote health awareness and assist people in gaining an understanding of the health and lifestyle impacts drinking alcohol can have. Some additional rules apply to your use of Alcohol and You, which are set out in the Terms and Conditions.

By accessing the Website and/or using Alcohol and You, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

If you have any accessibility issues or problems accessing the Website, please contact us using the above details or at Jack@fasaonline.org.

You are advised to check this specification to ensure that your computer and/or portable device is compatible with our products and services and we shall not be liable for any failure arising in the Website which arises from incompatibility (including, without limitation, minimum storage and memory requirements from time to time).

3) Reliance on information posted

Information is provided on the Alcohol and You website by way of guidance only. We therefore disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such information to the fullest extent permissible by local law.

Additional terms applicable to Alcohol and You:

Alcohol and You is intended to provide general information only and, as such, should not be considered as a substitute for advice covering any specific situation. Users should seek appropriate advice before taking or refraining from taking any action in reliance on any information contained in Alcohol and You. So far as permissible by law and subject to section (a) clause 11, we do not accept any liability to any person relating to the use of any such information.

Information is provided on the Alcohol and You tool by way of guideline only. All calorie, alcohol unit, ABV or pricing information are based on information provided by alcohol producers and retailers. Information regarding alcohol consumption and the tips and advice offered as part of Alcohol and You are checked against medical best evidence and government guidelines and is approved by our medical panel. IT IS IN NO WAY TO BE CONSIDERED OR USED AS A REPLACEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE FROM YOUR GP.

The My Alcohol and You tool can be used by users of any age but because it contains alcohol related information it is intended for use by people of the UK legal drinking age or over.

Whilst we have taken all reasonable precautions in compiling Alcohol and You, subject to section (a) clause 11 neither us nor any contributors to Alcohol and You can be held responsible for any action (or the lack of action) taken by any person or organisation wherever they shall be based, as a result, direct or otherwise, of information contained in or accessed through Alcohol and You.
