Last update: September 9th, 2020

The Fiix Community is provided by Fiix Inc. ("Fiix") as a place for discussion of all things related to Fiix's products and services and the maintenance industry more generally. The following rules and guidelines ("Fiix Community Guidelines") are presented here so that you know what is expected of you and what you can expect from other users of the Fiix Community.

By registering to use the Fiix Community and/or accessing the Fiix Community, you acknowledge acceptance of these Fiix Community Guidelines. Fiix reserves the right to change these Fiix Community Guidelines from time to time at its sole discretion. The latest version of these terms will be available in ‘Everything Community’ and will  apply to all your visits to The Fiix Community, both now and in the future.

1. General guidelines.

- We are here to help.

If you are new to The Fiix Community and are unsure about anything, just ask. The Fiix Community moderators and other users are happy to help.

- Stay on-topic. 

For everyone's benefit please stay on-topic. Please refrain from discussing personal matters, abusing any company or product, or from posting in a manner unrelated to Fiix’s products and services. Do not post any information that you do not wish to make public. Any information that you post can be obtained and used by others. You post at your own risk and responsibility.

- Stay courteous. 

Everyone wants to have a positive experience on The Fiix Community - so make sure that you are not detracting from anyone else's experience. In particular, refrain from posting anything unlawful, libelous, defamatory, inflammatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, harassing, threatening, harmful, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, or otherwise objectionable or injurious to third parties. Your opinions are always welcome, but personal attacks and harassment ("flaming") on either The Fiix Community or through private messaging are not acceptable.  You are also not permitted to express or imply that any statements you make or actions you take are endorsed by us or that indicates that you are an employee or representative of Fiix unless you are an employee of ours.

- Keep it spam-free. 

The Fiix Community is provided as a service to Fiix customers and is not intended for the promotion of third-party services, products, websites, or organizations. Please do not post advertisements, junk mail, spam, chain letters, or any other form of unauthorized or unsolicited posts.

- Keep it legal. 

It is unacceptable to post any material (i) that would infringe on any patent, trademark, copyright, or other proprietary rights of any party or disclose any trade secret (or other confidential information), (ii) that contains software viruses or any other computer code or files that are designed to disrupt, damage, or limit the functioning of any software or hardware, or (iii) that is deemed to be illegal by any local, state, federal, or international law.

- Be careful. 

Most people are happy to help out on The Fiix Community, but remember that their advice is theirs only, it is not endorsed by Fiix and that you are responsible for deciding whether or not to follow it. If the advice given by a user sounds wrong or risky to you, do not try it. In particular, if any user asks you for personal information, such as an account number, address, password, or credit card number, do not provide it.

2. You'll need to register to use The Fiix Community. 

Please refer to the Fiix Privacy Policy, which contains guidelines on how Fiix collects, uses, and protects personal information. You must be at least 18 years old to participate in The Fiix Community.
