Paragraph 1 Mere conduits
A service provider does not contravene regulation 43 only by providing access to a communication network, or by transmitting, in a communication network, information provided by a recipient of the service, if the service provider does not—
initiate the transmission;
select the recipient of the transmission; or
select or modify the information contained in the transmission.
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), the provision of access to a communication network and the transmission of information in a communication network include the automatic, intermediate and transient storage of the information transmitted if—
the storage is solely for the purpose of carrying out the transmission in the network; and
the information is not stored for longer than is reasonably necessary for the transmission.
