3. Website Information
Website content is provided for general informational and professional-networking purposes. GRN aims to keep information accurate and current but does not guarantee that all content will always be complete, current or error-free.

Information on the website, including Insights, articles, profiles and event material, does not constitute legal, financial, tax, accounting or other professional advice from GRN.
5. Member Directory
The directory is intended to help users identify and connect with GRN members. Inclusion does not constitute a guarantee by GRN concerning a member’s suitability for a particular engagement. Users remain responsible for appropriate enquiries, conflict checks, regulatory checks and professional due diligence.
6. Referrals and Introductions
GRN facilitates professional connections but is not ordinarily a party to engagements entered into between members, users, clients or firms. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, GRN does not guarantee the outcome, quality or commercial value of a referral or introduction.

Where access requires an account, users must provide accurate information, keep login credentials secure and notify GRN of suspected unauthorised access. Restricted services must not be shared with unauthorised persons.
8. Acceptable Use
You must not misuse the website; attempt unauthorised access; interfere with security or operation; introduce malicious software; scrape or systematically extract directory information without permission; impersonate another person; use member information for unlawful unsolicited communications; or use GRN services in a way that infringes rights or applicable law.
9. Member and User Content
Where you submit profiles, Insights, event information or other material, you are responsible for ensuring that you are entitled to provide it and that it is accurate and lawful. You grant GRN the permissions reasonably necessary to host, reproduce, format and display approved material as part of operating and promoting the network and website.
