Terms of Use for dallevamechanical.com
Effective Date: 01/24/2026
Welcome to dallevamechanical.com (the "Site"). By accessing or using our website (the “Site”), you agree to the following Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Site.
1. Purpose of the Site
dallevamechanical.com is a business website for D'Alleva Mechanical Services LLC, a Limited Liability Corporation in Massachausetts. D'Alleva Mechanical Services LLC is a licensed and insured HVAC and Plumbing contractor. Users may use this website to generate estimates for their projects, and schedule service dates.
You are responsible for how you use the Site.
2. User Accounts
User accounts are absolutely NOT required to use the Forbidden Knowledge website. Forbidden Knowledge is a free website that is available on the public internet. All are welcome to peruse and read the Site's content without an account.
An account is also not strictly required to make a comment on the Site. In order to make it convenient for users who just want to write one or two quick comments, the Site has a "lightweight account" feature where the Site will generate a default pseudonym for you without you needing to submit any information at all. These default pseudonyms will always take the form of "AnonymousUser" followed by a unique GUID. The Site will provide your browser with a simple cookie that will be used to authenticate you for this lightweight account. The cookie is only valid for 7 days. If the cookie is deleted, lost, or expired that anonymous account will be lost forever. You may always generate a new anonymous account. However, any user who plans on making more than one or two comments is strongly encouraged to make an account.
User accounts on Forbidden Knowledge are very simple. Only three pieces of information are required to make an account: the permanent pseudonym that you desire, a password, and an email address that belongs to you.
A. Pseudonyms
You may choose any pseudonym that is not already in use by another user for your account. Choose carefully because it is permanent. Because the Site has a strict rule against impersonation, please do not choose a pseudonym that is very similar to another user’s. Obviously, this will happen unintentionally, but if we discover that a user has deliberately chosen a pseudonym misleadingly close to someone else's, or appears to be using a pseudonym that is similar to someone else's in a manner that appears to be attempting to impersonate another user, that is grounds for a potential ban. Please see section 4 below for more information.
B. Passwords
For everyone's benefit, you must provide a secure password for your account. It is your responsibility to secure your password. For a password to be secure, it must be stored securely (i.e. encrypted) and not shared with anyone else. Please note password sharing is grounds for a potential ban. Currently, passwords must be at least 12 characters long, contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one symbol (i.e. non-alphanumeric character). There are no particular symbols that are not allowed. The Site salts and hashes all user passwords and does not store them in plain text, so that we do not know what any user's passwords are. You may reset your password at any time. If you think your password has been compromised, it is your responsibility to reset it. Forbidden Knowledge is not liable for any account compromises due to user negligence. If we suspect that a user account has been compromised, we may take action to secure it. We will try our best to alert you to such a situation should it arise. We highly recommend using password manager software such as Keeper or 1Password to generate and manage secure passwords. The relatively low cost of these platforms is well worth it for most people.
C. Emails
WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN KNOWING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. We do not distribute or sell email addresses or any kind of user information to anybody. Please refer to the Forbidden Knowledge privacy policy for more information (a link is available in the footer of this website). We will not use your email address to send you any marketing or promotional material. Forbidden Knowledge is not a commercial website. The email address you provide for your account will only be used to facilitate password resets for your account and for us to communicate with you if needed (for example, about a violation of this terms of use). The email address you provide must be an email address that you control, that only you have access to, and that is capable of receiving and sending email via ESMTP. The Site will check that the domain exists and has a valid MX record.
When logging into a permanent account, please note that 5 failed login attempts (incorrect passwords) in a row will result in a one hour account lockout. This is done for security reasons. On a successful login, the Site will provide your browser with a simple cookie that is valid for 7 days. This cookie is used by the site to automatically authenticate you so you do not need to log in constantly, making the site more convenient to use.
The Site does not have an explicit logout feature. This is because users should not have multiple accounts. This is done to enforce the rule against impersonating others and to protect the integrity of the Site.
7. Modifications to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site means you accept any new version of the Terms.
