Terms & Conditions

1. Accounts and security

• Your account is personal. Keep your password confidential and do not share it or let anyone else use your account.
• Choose a strong password and change the temporary password you were given at your first sign-in.
• Administrator accounts must use two-step verification (an authenticator app).
• Tell the Academy straight away if you think your account has been used by someone else.
• The Academy may suspend or close an account that is misused or no longer needed.

2. Acceptable use

You must not:

• try to gain access to accounts, records or systems you are not authorised to use;
• try to disable, bypass or test the portal's security;
• upload files that contain malicious code, or that you have no right to share;
• use the portal, including the chat, to harass others or to share unlawful material;
• copy or extract records in bulk for any purpose other than your official duties.

3. Monitoring

Use of the portal is logged for security and accountability (see the Privacy Policy). Misuse may lead to disciplinary action and, where the law provides, legal action.

4. Copyright

Unless stated otherwise, the content of this portal — its text, design, circulars, study material and records — belongs to the Central Academy for State Forest Service (CASFOS), Coimbatore. Material may be used for the training and official purposes it is provided for. It may not be reproduced or distributed beyond that without the Academy's written permission.

5. Hyperlinking policy

• Where the portal links to a website run by another organisation, it does so for your convenience. The Academy does not control those sites, is not responsible for their content or availability, and a link is not an endorsement.
• Other sites may link to the public pages of this portal (this page, the Privacy Policy, the Accessibility Statement, Help and Contact). They should not present the portal inside a frame or in a way that suggests it is theirs.

6. Availability and disclaimer

The Academy takes reasonable care to keep the portal accurate and available, but it may be unavailable for maintenance or for reasons outside the Academy's control, and it is provided on an “as is” basis. Official records and decisions are those held by the Academy; where the portal and an official order differ, the order prevails.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India.

8. Changes

These terms may be updated; the date at the top of the page shows when. Continuing to use the portal after a change means you accept the updated terms.
