MyEXPRESS and Have Your SayTerms and Conditions Of Use



MyExpress and Have Your Say - Introduction

As the World's Greatest Newspaper we're here to bring you reports on a wide variety of issues. We're proud of our paper and of our readers and we want to hear what you have to say. We would like our 'MyExpress' and 'Have Your Say' areas to be a forum for lively and passionate debate but we also have a duty to ensure that the discussion remains intelligent and courteous.

Until you create an account, you will not be able to comment on the articles you read or post information to the site. Once you have created your own MyEXPRESS account, any comment or information you send will be published directly to the site.

MyEXPRESS and Have Your Say areas are reactively monitored by Express Newspapers and we will remove information or comments that break our Guidelines and/or Terms & Conditions.

If you wish to complain about any information or comment you see on the MyEXPRESS or Have Your Say pages, you can do so by using the "Complain about this Comment" button on each comment.

We try to publish as many comments as we can but unfortunately, due to the large number of comments we receive every day, we cannot guarantee that all comments submitted will be published.

MyEXPRESS and Have Your Say - Online safety

Once you have created a MyEXPRESS account, whatever you publish can be seen by anyone viewing the Daily Express website. Whilst this means you can let other people know your opinions, get in touch with existing friends and also make new ones, you are also allowing others to see information about yourself. We therefore strongly suggest you read the following safety tips:

Don't divulge personal information. Never give out your email, home address or phone number, or post information that would make it easy for someone you didn't know to find you.

Don't forget that MyEXPRESS and Have Your Say areas are viewable by everyone. Don't post anything that might embarrass you or that you don't want everyone to know.

Don't confuse people you meet online with real friends. They may not be who they say they are, and you should certainly never arrange to meet them offline.

Don't pretend to be someone you're not. Whilst it can be fun to invent a new identity for yourself online, this can lead to trouble or embarrassment later.

Don't get caught out by phishing. Phishing is used by fraudsters pretending to be your bank, building society or online payment provider. The email they send will look real and will try to scare you into reacting without thinking. It will claim that there's something wrong with your account and that you should log in using the link in the e-mail. The link will take you to a dummy site that looks like your bank's site. If you type in your login and password, your real account may be accessed and emptied within minutes. If you aren't sure if an e-mail is real or not, chances are it won't be. You can check with the site directly by typing it into your browser. If you've already been caught by a "phish", report it to your bank or the website right away.

Don't get caught out by other online cons. Offers or emails that seem too good to be true always are. Don't allow yourself to be fooled by messages from people promising large sums of money or other benefits.

MyExpress and Have Your Say - Guidelines

Please follow the Guidelines below when posting to the site. Failure to do so may result in your account being deleted and could lead to legal action being taken against you by the authorities or the aggrieved party. Be aware that in exceptional circumstances Express Newspapers may be legally obliged to reveal your registration information and/or IP address to the authorities.

Please keep your comments courteous. We will remove comments that are unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented or racially offensive.

Please keep your comments legal. We will remove comments that incite people to commit a crime and we could be legally obliged to reveal your registration information and/or IP address to the authorities.

Please submit your comments in English only.

Please do not submit defamatory comments. We will remove comments that are capable of damaging the reputation of a person or organisation.

Please do not post content which you've copied from someone else.

Please do not send multiple comments. So that we can publish comments from as many different people as possible, you should keep the number of contributions you make to each discussion to a reasonable level. Multiple comments from one person, or a small number of people, discourage other people who might wish to take part.

Please do not post a comment that might prejudice an on-going or forthcoming court proceeding.

Please do not post a comment that might break a court injunction.

Please do not submit personal information about yourself or anyone else (e.g. address, phone number, email address, place of work etc.).

Please do not advertise or promote a product or service.

Please do not impersonate someone else.

Please do not set up a vulgar or offensive username.
