Use of brand names on the CMCA Forum

The use of brand names on the Forum is broadly discouraged and any potentially defamatory material of any kind or content that is false, misleading or deceptive, or likely to mislead or deceive will be removed.

If you intend to include a reference to a brand name or a company please ensure that you confine your comments such that they are based on your own personal experience, made in neutral language for the purpose of discussion, are as objective as possible and are not submitted to the website for a Commercial Purpose.

CMCA reserves all rights to seek all available legal action against any writer who uses the forum to publish defamatory material of any kind or content that is false, misleading or deceptive, or likely to mislead or deceive.

Do you have a genuine grievance with a distributor or manufacturer?

If you believe that you have a genuine complaint about a particular product, service or business CMCA encourages you to contact the relevant consumer protection authority – e.g. the ACCC OR the NSW Dept of Fair Trading.

Disseminating information about unresolved consumer complaints is simply not a function of the CMCA (or its online Forum).
