TSEG reserves the right to delete or refuse any posting and/or recommend to Betfair that it suspend or terminate any Betfair account for any reason at any time without notice. TSEG may revoke your Forum rights if you act outside the guidelines set out in these terms and conditions.

15.	Betfair's standard Privacy Policy applies to your personal data. In addition to reserving the right to disclose your details (including any material you post in the Forum), in accordance with the Privacy Policy we hereby put you on notice that, in the event of a complaint relating to any potentially defamatory material and/or material that otherwise breaches clause 4 of these terms it is the policy of TSEG not to oppose an application to a court for the disclosure of personal data relating to posters in the Forum (or elsewhere on Betfair sites). Equally it is TSEG's policy not to disclose such data unless such an order is sought; or disclosure is permitted in accordance with the Betfair Privacy Policy; or disclosure is permitted by reason of any exemption in the Data Protection Act 1998 (which includes, amongst other things, the right to disclose suspicious content to the authorities).
