Disclaimer

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to the website located at https://rts.fmipaum.ac.id/ (hereinafter referred to as “the Website”). This Website is operated by rts.fmipaum.ac.id (hereinafter referred to as “the Entity”), which may represent a department, research group, or project associated with or operating within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at State University of Malang (Universitas Negeri Malang, UM).

This Disclaimer constitutes a legally binding agreement between you (“the User,” “you,” or “your”) and the Entity (rts.fmipaum.ac.id) concerning your access to and use of the Website and all content, information, products, and services available on or through the Website. The Website primarily focuses on the subject of AC Maintenance.

BY ACCESSING, BROWSING, OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREED TO BE BOUND BY THIS DISCLAIMER IN ITS ENTIRETY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS DISCLAIMER, YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE WEBSITE AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of any changes to this Disclaimer will constitute your acceptance of those changes. It is your responsibility to periodically review this Disclaimer to stay informed of updates.

2. Nature of Information – Educational and Informational Purposes Only

The content provided on the Website, including but not limited to text, graphics, images, videos, guides, tutorials, articles, tips, advice, tools, and any other materials related to AC Maintenance (collectively, “the Content”), is intended for general informational, educational, and theoretical purposes only.

The Content is based on general principles, common practices, theoretical knowledge, research findings, or educational materials available at the time of creation. It is designed to provide users with general knowledge and understanding of AC maintenance concepts, troubleshooting basics, components, and related topics.

The Content is NOT intended to be, and should not be taken as, specific professional advice, technical consultation, diagnosis, recommendation, or a prescription for your particular AC unit, situation, or problem. Air conditioning systems are complex, varying widely in make, model, age, condition, installation specifics, environmental factors, usage patterns, and previous maintenance history. The generalized information provided on this Website cannot account for these unique variables.

Therefore, the Content should never be used as a substitute for professional assessment, diagnosis, repair, or maintenance services performed by a qualified and certified AC technician. Attempting to apply general information to a specific, complex machine without thorough understanding, proper tools, and specific knowledge of that unit can be ineffective, dangerous, and costly.

3. No Professional Advice Disclaimer

The Entity (rts.fmipaum.ac.id) does not hold itself out as, and is not providing, professional AC maintenance services, technical consultations, engineering advice, or skilled trade services through this Website. The contributors to this Website may be academics, researchers, students, or individuals with knowledge in related fields, but their presentations or publications on this Website do not establish a professional client relationship.

Any information or suggestions provided on this Website related to troubleshooting or maintenance techniques are based on general principles and common issues. They are NOT tailored to your specific equipment, its installation, its history, or your specific circumstances. Conditions such as refrigerant type and level, electrical connections, capacitor health, compressor function, airflow issues, leak detection, pressure readings, control board logic, and many other factors require specialized knowledge, specific tools, and diagnostic procedures that cannot be adequately conveyed or executed based solely on website content.

Attempting to perform maintenance or repairs on an AC system based solely on information from this Website can be extremely hazardous and carries significant risks, including but not limited to:

  • Electrical Hazards: AC units contain high voltage electrical components, even when turned off at the thermostat. Improper handling of electrical systems can lead to severe injury, electrocution, or death. Qualified technicians are trained in electrical safety protocols.
  • Refrigerant Hazards: Refrigerants are pressurized chemicals. Improper handling can cause chemical burns (frostbite), release harmful substances into the environment, violate environmental regulations, and damage the AC system. Specific tools and certifications are required to handle refrigerants legally and safely.
  • Pressure Hazards: AC systems operate under high pressure. Mishandling or improper disassembly can result in explosion or release of high-pressure gas/liquid, causing serious injury.
  • Mechanical Hazards: Moving parts like fans can cause injury. Lifting heavy components like compressors requires proper technique and equipment. Working with sharp sheet metal edges is common and requires care.
  • System Damage: Incorrect procedures, using the wrong parts, or misdiagnosis can cause further damage to the AC unit, leading to expensive repairs or the need for complete system replacement.
  • Voiding Warranties: Many AC manufacturers’ warranties require installation and maintenance to be performed by certified professionals. Attempting DIY repairs may void existing warranties, leaving you responsible for future costs.
  • Fire Hazards: Faulty wiring or components can lead to fires.

Therefore, if you have an actual problem with your AC unit, require maintenance, or are considering attempting any task beyond basic filter replacement or coil cleaning (after understanding the risks involved in even those tasks), you should ALWAYS consult a qualified, licensed, and insured AC technician in your area. They can provide a proper assessment based on your specific unit and situation, ensuring safety, effectiveness, and compliance with local codes and regulations.

The Entity, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, licensors, and content providers shall not be responsible or liable for any actions you take or fail to take based on the Content of this Website. Your reliance on any information appearing on this Website is solely at your own risk.

4. Accuracy, Completeness, and Timeliness of Information

The Entity strives to provide Content that is accurate and up-to-date based on general knowledge and available information in the field of AC maintenance. However, we do not warrant or guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, or applicability of any Content on the Website.

The field of technology, including HVAC systems and maintenance practices, is constantly evolving. Information that was accurate at the time of publication may become outdated quickly due to new models, updated regulations, improved techniques, or changes in industry standards.

Furthermore, despite best efforts to prevent errors, the possibility exists that Content on the Website may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions relating to technical information, procedures, specifications, or other data. The Entity does not warrant that the Content is free of errors and is under no obligation to update or correct Content that becomes inaccurate or outdated. Historical information, while potentially interesting, may not be current and is provided for reference only.

The inclusion of any Content on the Website does not imply endorsement of any specific product, brand, technique, or service unless explicitly stated. Any mention of specific tools, parts, or methods is for illustrative purposes based on common examples in the field and does not constitute a recommendation for your specific needs or unit.

Users should critically evaluate the Content and, whenever possible, cross-reference it with other reliable sources, including official documentation from the manufacturer of their specific AC unit, industry publications, and consultations with certified professionals. The Entity assumes no responsibility or liability for any consequences resulting from reliance on potentially incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated information on the Website.
