Access to the draft

3.1Who these terms are between

You, and Casient Pty Ltd, trading as Casient Pro (“we”), which runs this review for the founding members of the Open Room Behaviour Standard (ORBS).

If you register for an organisation, you confirm that you may agree to these terms for it.

3.2Keep the draft confidential

Until ORBS is published, the draft is confidential: its text, room cards, numbers and settings, and anything other reviewers have written.

Do not publish, post, forward or copy it, or share screenshots. Do not give anyone your personal link: it is yours alone, and each page shows your name.

You may discuss the draft with colleagues in your organisation who have registered and agreed to these terms too.

This does not cover anything that is already public, that you knew before, or that you were given by someone free to share it. If a law or a court requires you to disclose something, you may; tell us first if you are allowed to.

This lasts until the part concerned is published, or for two years from the day you agree, whichever comes first.

3.3Your comments

Comments are contributions to ORBS, made to help improve the standard for everyone who uses it. Once you send a comment, it belongs to the ORBS project, held by Casient Pty Ltd until a body is set up to look after the standard, so that it can be used, changed, combined with other comments and published as part of ORBS. No payment is involved and no further permission is needed.

Your own knowledge and experience remain yours. These terms cover only the comments you send, and nothing in them stops you using the same ideas in your own work.

We are glad to credit you by name. We do so only if you tick “You may credit me” on a comment.

Please send only what you are free to share, and leave out your employer’s or a client’s confidential information and anything that identifies a client’s home.

3.4Patents

If you know of a patent or patent application that might cover something in the draft, please tell us in a comment. You do not need to search for them.

3.5A draft, not advice

The draft will change and may contain mistakes. Do not design or install anything to it yet.

Agreeing to these terms lets you read the draft and comment on it, nothing more. It gives you no licence to copy, adapt or use ORBS. The licence ORBS will be published under is itself a draft and not decided.

It is provided as it is, with no promise that it is accurate, complete or fit for any purpose. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for any loss from using it. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

3.6Your own work is yours

These terms do not stop you doing your own work, building your own products, or working with anyone else, as long as you keep the draft confidential.

3.7Your details

We keep your name, organisation, role and email, why you asked for access, when you agreed and to which version of these terms, and your comments. We use them only to run the review and to keep a record of who agreed. We do not sell them or use them for marketing.

Ask us at any time to see or delete your details. We keep the record of your agreement for as long as the confidentiality lasts.

3.8Ending, changes and law

We may end your access at any time, for example when the review closes. You may stop at any time. The confidentiality, what you agreed about your comments, and “A draft, not advice” keep applying after access ends.

If we change these terms, we will ask you to agree again before the draft opens.

The laws of New South Wales, Australia, apply.
