By submitting the form, the user agrees to receive WRS editorial updates, programme news, events and occasional promotions by email. Users may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. Unsubscribing does not affect access to the website. We may still send essential service messages where needed, such as changes to terms or important service notices.
5. Your content
If you post comments, participate in forums, or submit competition entries, you confirm the content is yours or that you have the right to share it, and that it is lawful and not harmful to others. By submitting content you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use it to operate and promote WRS. You can request removal at any time by contacting us.

All website content, logos, audio and design belong to Aube Ondes SA or our licensors. You may view and download content for personal, non-commercial use. Any other use requires our written permission.
7. Advertising and sponsorship
Parts of the website may contain advertising, sponsored content or commercial partnerships.
