All messages posted in the discussion forums should be regarded as personal opinions and do not necessarily reflect the views of CIBSE nor can CIBSE verify the accuracy of any information posted in the forums (though inaccurate information will be removed where possible). Any information posted should be checked with independent information sources. CIBSE is not responsible for the interpretation or application of the information contained within the discussion forums.

In consideration for your use of the discussion forums, you agree not to:

• Post any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libellous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
• Impersonate any person or entity, falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity or disguise the origin of any content;

The discussion forums should not be used for any commercial purpose, or to advertise goods and services, place job adverts or operate surveys, contests or chain letters, or to promote causes or campaigns.

It is acceptable for course providers and product suppliers to give basic contact details in response to a request for information about specific courses and/ or products.

The discussion forums should not be used to make complaints against individuals and organisations. A dispute situation where you need information should be described in a subjective way and without reference to names. If an inappropriate message is posted, it will be deleted and the moderator or their agent will send you a private email to inform you that your message is inappropriate for the discussion forums and to ask you not to send such messages in future. If you send another such message, your email address will be removed from the subscribers' list. If you are unsure whether or not a message is appropriate, send it to the Moderator at websupport@cibse.org

Appropriate messages posted on an inappropriate forum will be forwarded to the relevant discussion forum without the subscriber being notified.
