2. Using this website
You may use this website for personal, professional and informational purposes, provided that your use is lawful and does not infringe the rights of the CSTA or anyone else.
You must not:
misuse the website or knowingly introduce viruses, malware or other harmful material;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, member accounts, servers or systems connected with the website;
use automated systems to extract, scrape or reproduce substantial amounts of website content without our permission;
use website content in a misleading, unlawful or defamatory way;
impersonate another person or misrepresent your relationship with the CSTA; or
interfere with the operation, security or availability of the website.
3. Information about craniosacral therapy
The information provided on this website is intended for general information and education only.
Information about craniosacral therapy, wellbeing, research, conditions or experiences should not be regarded as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and is not intended to replace advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
If you have concerns about your health or symptoms, you should seek appropriate professional medical advice.
The CSTA aims to provide accurate and useful information, but research and professional understanding can develop over time. We therefore cannot guarantee that every piece of information on the website will always be complete, current or applicable to your individual circumstances.
4. Practitioner directory
The CSTA Practitioner Directory is provided to help members of the public find craniosacral therapists who are registered with the CSTA.
Practitioners are independent professionals and are not employees, agents or representatives of the CSTA.
Registration with the CSTA indicates that a practitioner has met the membership and professional requirements applicable to their registration. It does not constitute a recommendation or guarantee by the CSTA regarding the suitability of an individual practitioner for a particular person, condition or circumstance.
You are responsible for deciding whether a practitioner is suitable for your needs.
Practitioner profiles may contain information supplied and maintained by individual practitioners. While the CSTA may take reasonable steps to maintain the directory, we cannot guarantee that all profile information will always be complete or current.
5. Member accounts
Some areas of the website are available only to registered users or CSTA members.
If you create or use an account, you are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for activity carried out through your account.
You must not allow another person to use your account or attempt to access content for which you do not have the appropriate permissions.
Access to particular resources may depend on your membership type, membership status or other permissions assigned by the CSTA.
We may suspend or restrict access to an account where reasonably necessary, including where we believe an account has been misused, compromised or used in breach of these Terms.
Membership itself is also subject to the CSTA's applicable membership requirements, professional standards, Code of Ethics and other policies. These Terms of Use do not replace those requirements.
6. Member resources and downloads
Documents, publications, meeting minutes, guidance, templates, recordings and other resources made available within restricted areas of the website are provided for the audiences indicated.
Access to a resource does not automatically give permission to reproduce, publish, distribute or commercially exploit it.
Where a resource has its own usage or licensing conditions, those conditions will also apply.
7. Events and training
The website may contain information about CSTA events, conferences, training opportunities and events provided by third parties.
Details such as speakers, dates, venues, availability and programmes may change.
Where an event or service has separate booking or cancellation terms, those terms will apply in addition to these Terms of Use.
The inclusion of third-party training or events on the website does not necessarily constitute an endorsement by the CSTA unless explicitly stated.
8. Research and external information
The CSTA website contains research references, articles, publications and links to external sources intended to support learning and understanding of craniosacral therapy.
The inclusion of a study, article, reference or external resource does not necessarily mean that the CSTA endorses every conclusion or opinion expressed within it.
Users should consider research within its appropriate context and seek suitably qualified professional advice where necessary.
9. Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website — including text, graphics, branding, photographs, illustrations, documents and other materials — is owned by or licensed to the CSTA and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
You may view, download or print reasonable extracts for your own personal or professional reference.
You must not reproduce, republish, sell, commercially exploit or substantially modify CSTA content without prior written permission unless the material specifically states that you may do so.
Third-party materials, trademarks and logos remain the property of their respective owners.
10. The Fulcrum
The Fulcrum and its contents are subject to copyright.
Access to current or previous issues may depend upon your membership or subscription status.
Articles, images and other material appearing within The Fulcrum may also be subject to the rights of individual authors, photographers, illustrators or other contributors and must not be reproduced without the appropriate permission.
11. Links to other websites
This website contains links to websites and services operated by other organisations.
These links are provided for information and convenience. Unless specifically stated otherwise, a link does not mean that the CSTA endorses the organisation, website, product or service concerned.
We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their availability, content, security or privacy practices. This is a standard and sensible distinction for sites that direct users to outside organisations.
12. Website availability
We aim to keep the website available and functioning correctly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access.
We may occasionally suspend, withdraw or restrict parts of the website for maintenance, security, technical updates or other operational reasons.
We may also update, change, reorganise or remove website content and functionality from time to time.
13. Security
We take reasonable measures to maintain the security of the website, but no internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure or free from errors or harmful software.
You are responsible for using appropriate security measures on your own devices and for keeping account credentials secure.
If you believe your CSTA account has been compromised, please contact us as soon as possible.
14. Privacy and cookies
We process personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
The website may also use cookies and similar technologies. Information about these should be provided through the site's cookie information and consent controls.
Non-essential cookies generally require an appropriate consent mechanism, while users should be given clear information about the cookies being used.
15. Liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
To the extent permitted by law, the CSTA is not responsible for loss or damage arising from reliance on general information provided through the website, the actions or services of independent practitioners or third parties, external websites or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
The website and its content are provided for general information purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for appropriate medical, legal or other professional advice.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes to the website, our services, technology, legislation or how the CSTA operates.
The latest version will always be published on this page and the "Last updated" date will be changed accordingly.
17. Governing law
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
Any dispute relating to these Terms or your use of the website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, subject to any rights you may have under applicable consumer law.
