1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to the Milton Keynes Local Community Infrastructure Partnership (MKCLIP) community web portal (Voluntary Sector Gateway Milton Keynes).

2. Description Of Service
MKCLIP currently provides users with access to a rich collection of resources, including various communications tools, forums, search services, personalized content and branded programming through its network of properties (the "Service"). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that MKCLIP assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.
