Please note that Yell owns all the intellectual property rights in the Yell.com database and takes active measures to protect its database rights, including monitoring visits to its website.
Yell has detected an unusual pattern in your searching of Yell.com (e.g. alphabetic or numerical sequential searching) originating from a personal computer, network or server at IP address 38.103.63.59.
As a result, we are now preventing you from accessing Yell.com and Yell.com Search.
Yell is aware that this pattern of searching may not be intended by you generally, or specifically:
- It should be noted that use of caching servers with Yell.com is inadvisable. Some caching systems may be mistakenly misunderstood as non-permitted use of Yell.com. Yell.com pages are dynamic, so caching Yell.com is unnecessary and inefficient. Yell therefore advises against caching systems and caching Yell.com.
- The following activities are also inadvisable because they may be mistaken by Yell as non-permitted use of Yell.com:
- testing or development of software or computer systems;
- personal or commercial training in the use of the Internet;
- extensive research.
We are aware that the IP address given above may not be owned by you but by a third party, or that the searching may be the responsibility of a third party.
