NAWBO-LA Website and E-Community Rules and Conditions
The following are the rules and conditions of participation in the NAWBO-LA E-Communities
& Website. By subscribing to and participating in this site, users hereby
agree to be bound by and warrant their full compliance with the following terms
of participation:
The website and communities are a service provided by NAWBO-LA to further its
nonprofit and tax-exempt purposes. Member-only communities may be used only
by NAWBO-LA members and only for the purpose of discussing matters related to
or arising from business ownership.
NAWBO-LA accepts no responsibility for the opinions and information posted
on these communities by others. NAWBO-LA disclaims all warranties with regard
to information posted on these communities, whether posted by NAWBO-LA or others;
this disclaimer includes all implied warranties of merchantability and fitness.
In no event shall NAWBO-LA be liable for any special, indirect or consequential
damages, or damages of any kind whatsoever, resulting from loss of use, data
or profits, arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of any
information posted on these communities.
Do not post any defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal
information or material, and do not utilize the communities in any illegal manner.
Do not post any information or other material protected by copyright without
the permission of the copyright owner. Do not use any words, logos or other
marks that would infringe upon the trademark, service mark, certification mark,
or other intellectual property rights of the owners of such marks without the
permission of such owners. Do not post any confidential information or any information
that would infringe upon the proprietary, privacy or personal rights of others.
Do not post any information or other material that constitutes or could reasonably
be construed as constituting advertising, marketing, solicitation of business,
vending, attempting to sell or promote products or services, or otherwise engaging
in or attempting to consummate commercial or professional transactions.
By posting material, the posting party warrants and represents that it owns
the copyright with respect to such material, has received permission from the
copyright owner, and/or that the material is in the public domain. The posting
party further warrants and represents that it otherwise has the full and unencumbered
right to post such material and that such posting will not infringe any rights
or interests of others. In addition, the posting party grants NAWBO-LA and users
of this e-community a non exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable license to display,
copy, publish, distribute, transmit, print, and use such information or material
in any manner, without payment to the posting party.
This community shall not be utilized in any manner that violates federal or
state antitrust laws or other laws prohibiting anticompetitive practices. The
antitrust laws generally prohibit any agreement or understanding inconsistent
with the right and obligation of competitors to exercise independent business
judgment in pricing their products or services, dealing with their customers
and suppliers, and selecting the markets in which to compete, among other business
practices. No express agreement or understanding is required; one can be inferred
from statements or conduct. Do not post any information regarding specific prices
or fees charged or paid, and do not post any information concerning prices,
pricing practices, discounts, or other terms or conditions of sale either obtained
by or offered to another entity. Do not post any information concerning market
shares, salaries, costs, sales territories, profit margins, or encouraging the
selection or rejection of customers or suppliers.
All postings shall be of an informational nature and for informational purposes
only. Commercial use or any other unauthorized use of the communities is prohibited.
Do not use any community to solicit or conduct business, including the direct
or indirect marketing of users’ products or services, in any manner. The
communities may not be used to provide information, materials, products, or
services in exchange for compensation of any kind.
In the event that any inappropriate posting or unauthorized use of the communities
is brought to NAWBO-LA’s attention, including but not limited to prohibited
posting and usage as outlined herein, NAWBO-LA will take all appropriate action,
in its sole discretion. NAWBO-LA reserves the right to terminate, without prior
notice, the community access of any user who does not abide by these guidelines,
and/or to take other disciplinary action against violators.
