Except for information submitted by us, information on this website is provided by third parties such as events organisers. Accordingly, we do not represent that information on this website is accurate, complete or fair and you should not rely on it as if it were.
We can change the contents of this website at any time and without giving you notice.
Specific Advice Given by Others
The website or eBusiness Club may give you the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from advisers (whether ecommerce, business, financial, legal or otherwise). These advisers are third parties and act independently of eBusiness Club. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that:
- where such advice is given free of charge, you should not rely on the advice to make any decision or take any action;
- if you have any complaints in connection with the advice or the adviser, you should address these to the adviser and not to us;
- we have no liability for loss or damage caused by your making decisions or taking actions based upon the advice;

Forum Terms of Use
By using the eBusinessclub forum, you agree to the following:
The eBusinessclub’s forum is a resource where it's members can communicate and combine with others to learn about eBusiness, Web Development and Information Technology. The goal of the forum is to allow for the sharing of best practice, relate experiences and to inform its members of what is new and developing in the world of eBusiness.
In the spirit of the forum we welcome and invite you to post and participate in any section of the Forum. While you are free to post and answer any eBusiness related questions in any section, it is against forum policy for any businesses to start threads concerning the promotion of your own products/services. You are however welcome to promote your ICT related business within the ICT Suppliers Directory of the eBusinessclub site.
It is expressly forbidden to post any negative comments about potential competitors on the forum.
You are prohibited from posting content that would be considered to be: unlawful, defamatory, threatening, obscene, libelous, using indecent language, pornographic, scandalous, racist /sexually offensive, inflammatory or where any content advocates acts of an illegal nature or in any other way inappropriate to the aims of the forum. All posting topics must fall within the nature of eBusiness and must not cover topics outside of this, including but not restricted to religious and political discussions. We reserve the right to suspend or remove postings that we believe fall into any of the above violations and in addition we have the right to suspend or ban your membership to the eBusinessclub even in circumstances where the above specific violations are not met.
Due to the nature of eBusiness and SEO in particular there will be differences of opinion and while we do encourage debates, we again must not see responses posted in such a way that they would be considered to be disrespectful, rude or argumentative, we again reserve the right to remove such content.
You are free to include relevant links in your postings; relevant links improve the conversation and help us all to keep learning. Please note though, any such links will exist behind a password and will therefore not add to your inbound linking campaigns.
For security reasons you must not post content that provides personal private details of other individuals.
