This document forms part of the approved COFNII governance framework.
1. About the website
This website is operated by the Confederation of Fibre Optic and Network Infrastructure Installers Ltd, company number 16802777, registered at Unit 2, First Avenue, Crewe, England, CW1 6BG.
By using the website, a user agrees to these terms. Membership purchases and approvals are also governed by their specific terms and policies.
2. Permitted use
Use the website lawfully for genuine information, membership, verification, professional-development and industry-engagement purposes.
Do not attempt unauthorised access, disrupt security, scrape protected member data, introduce malicious code or misuse another person’s identity or account.
Do not copy, republish, sell or systematically extract protected resources or directory information without permission or another lawful right.
Do not use a listing to send spam, harass a member or create a misleading endorsement claim.
3. Accounts and protected content
Account holders must keep credentials confidential, use accurate information and notify COFNII promptly of suspected compromise. Access is limited to the membership, role and licence assigned to the account. COFNII may suspend access where reasonably necessary for security, non-payment, investigation or policy enforcement.
4. Intellectual property and standards
Unless stated otherwise, COFNII owns or licenses the website text, design, graphics, databases, downloads, badges and original resources. Limited personal or internal-business use does not transfer ownership.
References to BS, EN, ISO, IEC, IEEE or other standards identify external publications. Copyright in standards remains with the relevant rights holder. COFNII summaries are not substitutes for an authorised copy of the current standard.
5. Directory and external links
COFNII takes reasonable steps to maintain register information but a listing is not a warranty of a quotation, contract, specific employee, project result or continuing suitability. Clients must perform proportionate project-specific due diligence.
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience or reference. COFNII does not control their content, security, availability or terms and does not endorse every statement they contain.
6. Availability and liability
COFNII may update, withdraw or restrict website functions and does not promise uninterrupted or error-free availability. Nothing excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. Subject to that protection, users remain responsible for decisions made from general website information and must obtain project-specific advice where appropriate.
7. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer right to bring proceedings in another UK jurisdiction.
