Code of Conduct

Summary

This Code of Conduct is our way to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior in our community.

We will do our part to foster a welcoming and professional environment free of harassment. We expect participants to communicate professionally and thoughtfully during their involvement.

Participants may lose their good standing by engaging in misconduct. For example: insulting, threatening, or conveying unwelcome sexual content. We ask participants who observe conduct issues to report the incident directly to GetClimateHelp's response team at [email protected].

We may remove harassers, whether volunteers or subscribers. Removal for violating the Code of Conduct will void any refund.

This code does not replace the terms of service or acceptable use policies of the websites used to support this project. We acknowledge that participants may be subject to additional conduct terms based on their employment which may govern their online expressions.
