==== Warnings ====
+
| We take impartiality very seriously here at URY
−
There are 2 kinds of warnings that the Programme Controller can issue on any occasion, should they see fit. Inappropriate behaviour, misuse of URY property, breach of URY rules and breach of Ofcom rules are the most sensitive occasions in which warnings will be considered.
+

;Informal Warning
+
| When a band bailed on URY Sessions, Jed Fulwell, Marco Bolt, Peter Rogers and Sam Merryweather stepped up to the plate and performed arguably the worst/best session in URY history. They also returned for a surprisingly excellent come-back at the Cover Your Ears event.
−
:Any member of URY may be issued with an informal warning in the event that they commit an offence that the Programme Controller considers noteworthy, relatively minor, inappropriate or unacceptable. If you receive an informal warning and repeat the infraction warned against, you will receive a formal warning.
+
|-
−
;Formal Warning
+
| Michael Eats Kids
−
:Any member of URY may be issued with a formal warning at the discretion of the Programme Controller. The person in question need not have received any informal warnings nor committed previous offences. In the event that they breach URY rules, Ofcom rules or behaves otherwise inappropriately, the Programme Controller may decide to contact the member in question and/or issue a formal warning. If you receive a formal warning and repeat the infraction warned against, your show can be suspended or taken permanently off-air.
+
| We really don't know where this started. Someone just said it and it stuck.
−
 
+
|-
−
==== Suspension ====
+
| Alex plugs stuff
−
The Programme Controller can suspend a presenter on any occasion for as long as they see fit.
+
| If he's on air, he's plugging his shows (he does so many), and if we're off air, plugging production meeting.
−
 
+
|-
−
==== Expulsion ====
+
| Kermit the Frog
−
The Programme Controller can decide to cancel a show or ban a presenter from doing a show on any occasion. Presenters may be banned from using URY facilities and equipment, or from URY as a whole.
+
| Station manager Ben Allen could do a really good Kermit impression, including singing live on air on multiple occasions.
−
 
+
|-
−
==== Appeals Procedure ====
+
| In Other Gravy News
−
If your show is suspended it will be retained virtually on the system for one week, though you will be unable to present this show. Any appeals against the decision can be made to the Station Management within this time. If no appeal is made, the show will be removed permanently from the schedule. If an appeal is made, the presenter will be invited to meet with the Station Manager, Assistant Station Manager, Programme Controller and Training Coordinator to make their case. All decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
+
| On a Newshour episode, there was a story of a woman storing loads of money in gravy tins, which was found by the recycling people. Beth then went on to continue the show by saying "In Other Gravy News". Admittedly, the next clip was about chips cheese and gravy.

=== Updates to the Contract ===

−
The URY Committee reserves the right to update this contract at any time following the procedures laid out in the [[Constitution]].
