Where BSH does provide any interactive service, BSH will endeavour to provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).
BSH will do its best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on the Site, and BSH will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks.

Where BSH does moderate an interactive service, BSH will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
