You may not display any personal contact or banking information on your individual profile page (“Profile”) whether in relation to you or any other person (for example, names, home addresses or postcodes, telephone numbers, email addresses, URLs, credit/debit card or other banking details, or place of work).

You may only use other Black City users’ personal data to the extent that your use of it matches Black City’s purpose of allowing people to meet one another.

If we think that you may be one of those people, then we reserve the right at our sole discretion, at any time and without liability or the need to give you prior notice or to refund any unused services to:
1. suspend or revoke your registration (where applicable) and your right to access and/or use Black City or submit any Content to Black City; and

Where you have acted contrary to our Terms, we will keep a record of it and may block future attempts by you to use or access Black City and its features so that we can keep Black City a fun place.
If you have registered on Black City, you can terminate your registration at any time by going to the ‘Settings’ control on Black City when you are logged in and choosing the ‘delete account link. We save your profile information in case you later decide to restore your account.

Once your registration is terminated, we have the right to delete any related Content that you have submitted or uploaded on to Black City. For further details, please refer to our privacy policy.
Content that you have uploaded to Black City, other than your Profile (such as comments), may still appear on Black City following termination of your registration.
