Code of Ethics

NCSG Code of Ethics

	I fully acknowledge that membership in the National Chimney Sweep Guild carries with it certain responsibilities and obligations. In this regard, I pledge:

To represent myself and my company in a professional manner by providing services, education and skills that are in compliance with all codes and regulations applicable to the chimney service industry that are in effect in my service area.
To continually update my knowledge, skills and techniques as new information evolves within the industry.
To render my services and represent my company in an honest and fair manner and to refrain from engaging in deceptive practices or making any deceptive statements, including but not limited to use of the NCSG logo.
To conduct myself in a decent, respectful, and professional manner when serving in my capacity as a chimney sweep, or when attending a function or event of an organization in the chimney or hearth products industry.

I agree to conform to NCSG's Code of Ethics during the term of my membership. I understand that failure to abide by these ethical obligations is a violation of NCSG policy and, in accordance with NCSG's Grievance Procedures adopted October 21, 1989, as amended, may result in disciplinary action. I agree to hold harmless the NCSG organization from liability resulting from any disciplinary action taken against me.
