At the time of publication of these Conditions this function is performed by the RCA/HWPA Press Liaison Committee but these Special Conditions D apply to any press badges allocated by this or any successor body empowered by the RCA to do so.
28.2 Only those persons who attend the Racecourse holding a valid and subsisting Press Accreditation (Authorised Journalists) will be entitled to enter the Racecourse on the basis of these Special Conditions D.
28.3 Without prejudice to Condition 28.2, these Special Conditions D apply whether or not an Authorised Press Attendee holds a badge, PASS Card or other entitlement to enter the Racecourse.

(b) Internet means the global network of computer systems using TCP/IP protocols known as the world wide web.
(c) Mobile Text Service means a service, whether free or pay, via which text only (that is, no audio/visual content whatsoever) versions of Articles are distributed using mobile telecommunications technologies such as GPRS and 3G to devices which are capable of two-way communications of data and voice and intended for use while the user is in motion.
(d) Newspaper and News Magazine mean, respectively, a newspaper or magazine published and distributed in printed paper format but specifically excluding any "one off", special or commemorative edition or supplement and newspaper or magazine based on a specific racecourse.
(e) Publish means to use, reproduce, distribute, store or communicate to any person in any form (whether in hard or electronic copy, whether permanent or transient and whether existing now or invented in the future).
29.2 Authorised Journalists shall produce satisfactory evidence of their Press Accreditation upon demand. We reserve the right to refuse entry to, or to expel, any Attendee who does not produce such evidence when asked to do so.
29.3 All Authorised Journalists granted access to the Racecourse under these Special Conditions D must hold and maintain, or their employers must hold and maintain, comprehensive and adequate public liability insurance with a reputable insurer on industry standard terms to cover a reasonable level of liability for any claim for which they may become liable as a result of any loss or damage which they cause whilst present on the Racecourse. We reserve the right to refuse entry to, or to expel, any Attendee admitted under these Special Conditions D who does not
produce satisfactory evidence of such insurance on demand or within such period as we may determine.
29.4 Authorised Journalists must wear any form of identification issued by us to identify them as Authorised Journalists and will return any such identification upon request.

(b) as a reproduction on the Internet or a Mobile Text Service of an equivalent electronic version (operating under the same or a substantially similar title or brand name) of any Newspaper or News Magazine in which the Article is actually Published. The terms upon which any Article is made available on an Internet website or a Mobile Text Service must incorporate clear and legally binding provisions prohibiting:
(i) the reduction of any Article to hard copy form; and/or
(ii) the Publication of any Article except in order to enable it to be viewed on the relevant Internet website or Mobile Text Service.
We acknowledge that Newspaper and News Magazine versions of an Article may be published at different times to Internet website or Mobile Text Service versions of the same Article and that the different versions may therefore not be identical.
