I may be liable to pay damages to the UK Independence Party for contravention of this declaration.   I understand that this information remains at all times the property of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and must be surrendered to the PS (so far as is practicable), on the instructions of the PS which may be the result of matters including voluntary or involuntary termination or suspension. In the event of being asked to return the database to the PS, I agree with immediate effect not to retain any of the database records or to bulk transmit any information relating to UKIP.   Being a member of UKIP I undertake not to use any information contained therein other than for the proper business of the Party. If my membership to UKIP should be terminated for any reason, including resignation and withdrawal of my membership I will as soon as possible, and within 7 days but no later than 14 days return the database to the PS.
