Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the website camnest-uk.com (the "Website"), operated by CAMNEST-UK, a not-for-profit membership organisation based at Kemp House, Suite 4B, 128 City Road, London EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. By using the Website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

2. About the Website

The Website provides information about CAMNEST-UK's mission, programmes, membership and events, and publishes articles written by members. It also allows visitors to submit membership applications and enquiries. Nothing on the Website constitutes professional engineering, legal or financial advice, and content should not be relied on as a substitute for advice tailored to your specific circumstances.

3. Membership

Submitting a membership application through the Website does not itself create a membership. Applications are reviewed by the membership secretary, and membership takes effect only once the application has been accepted and the applicable annual fee has been paid. Membership is subject to the organisation's constitution and code of conduct, which are provided to applicants during the joining process. Fees are reviewed annually by the membership and are non-refundable except where required by law.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Website in any way that breaks applicable law; to attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its hosting infrastructure or any connected system; to submit forms with false, misleading or malicious content; to scrape or harvest personal data of members or contributors; or to interfere with the availability of the Website for other users.

5. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all content on the Website — text, articles, illustrations, logos and design — is the property of CAMNEST-UK or its contributing members and is protected by copyright. You may view, download and print content for personal, non-commercial use. Republishing articles is permitted for non-commercial purposes with attribution and a link to the original page; any commercial use requires our prior written consent. The CAMNEST-UK name and logo may not be used without permission.

6. Member-contributed content

Articles published on the blog reflect the views of their individual authors and not necessarily the position of CAMNEST-UK, its committee or its members as a whole. Authors retain copyright in their contributions and grant CAMNEST-UK a licence to publish them on the Website and in organisational materials.

7. Third-party links

The Website may link to external websites, including partner institutions and professional bodies. These links are provided for convenience; we do not control external sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

8. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we take reasonable care to keep information accurate and current, we make no warranties, express or implied, about its completeness or accuracy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, CAMNEST-UK will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the Website. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under the law of England and Wales, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

9. Changes to the Website and these terms

We may update, suspend or withdraw any part of the Website at any time without notice. We may also revise these terms from time to time; the date at the top of this page indicates the current version, and continued use of the Website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them or from your use of the Website.

Questions about these terms should be sent to hello@camnest-uk.com or by post to our registered office in London.
