General Disclaimer
Built Environment Connects is a collaborative wiki of professionals, projects, and companies. The structure allows anyone with an account to alter content, thus we cannot guarantee the validity and accuracy of all the information added to the site. As the content does not go through any formal review, none of the contributors, administrators, or anyone else connected with Connects can be responsible for the appearance of inaccurate information or for your use of this information. If Built Environment Plus administrators are made aware of repeated misrepresentations, we may exercise our right to exclude a listing or ban a user per the discretionary privileges below.
Trademarks
Any of the trademarks, photography, or similar rights that are mentioned, used, or cited in Built Environment Connects profiles are the property of their respective owners. Unless otherwise stated, Built Environment Plus and BE+ sites are neither endorsed by, nor affiliated with, any of the holders of any such rights, and as such, BE+ cannot grant any rights to use any otherwise protected materials.
BE+ Discretionary Privileges
Built Environment Plus is committed to maintaining the confidence and trust of those who visit Built Environment Connects. While the collaborative wiki design of the site limits our shared ability to verify the accuracy of data, we trust our community of leading professionals to represent themselves accurately, and to correct factual errors promptly when aware. Through our publicly provided means of providing feedback, users and listees can notify BE+ of repeated instances of misrepresentation or inaccuracy. Through listee privileges and access, profiles can be updated and a history of updates can be accessed by all approved user accounts. If a listee is found to have a pattern of deceitful behavior or blatant tampering of others data, BE+ has the right to revoke privileges, ban a listee, or exclude a profile. As situations arise, BE+ has the right to expand on guidelines in time to better communicate what events may result in such actions being taken.
