INDEMNIFICATION
Each and every User agrees to defend (at our request), indemnify on demand and hold us and our Representatives harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, awards, fines, rights, actions of any kind and injury (including death) as well as, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected or relating with any of the following: (i) your Uploaded Content, or your access to or use of the Site; (ii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right; (iv) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; (v) any misrepresentation made by you; and (vi) any and all of your interactions with third parties, regardless of whether access to such third party interactions are available on the Site, or whether such interactions between Users and third parties are otherwise caused or occasioned by interacting with the Site. You will fully cooperate as we require in the defense of any claim. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without our prior written consent.
ARBITRATION
Except if you opt-out, or for disputes relating to: (1) intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents); or (2) violations of the indemnity obligations provided herein (collectively referred to herein as “Excluded Disputes”), you agree that all disputes between us and you (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) in regard to your relationship with the Site, in any capacity, including without limitation disputes related to these Terms and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes, and we and you hereby expressly waive trial by jury. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither we nor you will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if we are a party to the proceeding. If residing in the United States, these Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability and arbitrability of the arbitration provision. Unless we come to an agreement with you otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the State of New York, County of Queens. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
YOU HEREBY AGREE WITH US THAT NEITHER WE NOR YOU MAY BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, CLAIMS HEREUNDER, BY EITHER PARTY MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Further, unless we come to an agreement with you in writing otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific subsection regarding class actions, consolidated arbitrations or acting in a representative proceeding is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither we nor you can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address (the “Notice Address”) to opt out: [CLIENT: PLEASE PROVIDE PHYSICAL ADDRESS FOR NOTICE]. You must include your name and residence address, as well as a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any changes to this arbitration provision in the future (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a User of the Site, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision. The provisions of this arbitration agreement shall only be in effect to the extent they are permitted under applicable laws. If the AAA Rules cannot be applied to an arbitration under applicable law, then the rules of the local governing arbitration body shall apply instead.
GOVERNING LAW & VENUE
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms, the Excluded Disputes or if you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, you agree to resolve any dispute you have with us exclusively in a state or federal court located in Eastern District, New York, and to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Queens County for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. We reserve the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This Governing Law provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with us.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
If you are using the Site on behalf of a legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to enter into an agreement on behalf of that legal entity. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us and you and govern your use of the Site, superseding any prior agreements between us and you. You will not assign the Terms or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without our prior written consent will be null and void. We may assign these Terms or any rights hereunder without your consent. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the parties nevertheless agree that such portion will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, and the remaining provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify the Terms. These Terms do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be (or is otherwise) invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect, unless otherwise specifically provided for herein. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site, these Terms, or any incidence, connection (direct or indirect), communication, or interaction with the Site otherwise, must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

We may also ask Users to voluntarily provide us with information on this Site: for example, while many of the features of the Site are available without registering, Users may be asked to create an account or profile on the Site if they desire to access certain features. Although a User may decline to voluntarily provide Personally Identifiable Information when asked, some features, products and services will be unavailable to such User as a result.
We may also collect Personally Identifiable Information from Users through means other than the Site, including, but not limited to, email communications to us that are not conducted through email portals that may be available to Users on the Site, as well as any in-person or telephonic interactions and communications that you may have with us. Although this Privacy Policy does not apply to Personally Identifiable Information provided to us through any means other than a User’s interaction with the Site, if we combine the Personally Identifiable Information we collect from a User outside of the Site with Personally Identifiable Information that we collect through the Site, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information, unless specifically disclosed otherwise.
Furthermore, we may receive Personally Identifiable Information about Users from other sources that we may use to assist us in providing any services or features offered on the Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to Personally Identifiable Information about Users that we receive from other sources. However, we may combine the information we receive from these other sources with Personally Identifiable Information we collect through the Site. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to the combined information, unless specifically disclosed otherwise.
USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES.
When Users visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain information on User activities. “Site Usage Information” is information about how our visitors use and navigate the Site. This may include, but is not limited to, the number and frequency of visitors to each web page, the length of their stays, the type of browser each visitor is using to view the Site (for example, Internet Explorer, Firefox), the type of operating system each visitor is using, (for example, Windows XP, Mac OS), the domain name of each visitor’s Internet service provider (for example, America Online, Earthlink), the visitor’s IP address, the address (or “URL“) of the web site that the visitor came from before visiting the Site, which pages were visited on the Site, what was clicked on, and certain other available information. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to a computer whenever it accesses the Internet, which our web servers may use to identify where to send information requested by User computers. If a User requests pages from the Site, our servers may log the User’s IP address as well as information about the User’s activities on those pages.
Site Usage Information is frequently anonymous information, since it is not normally associated with a User or their identity. However, Site Usage Information may be used for a number of purposes, such as system administration, analysis of User demographics, Site performance enhancement, reporting aggregate information to our business partners, or auditing Site use. If Site Usage Information is combined with a User’s Personally Identifiable Information in a manner that it is directly associated with a User’s identity, it will be treated as Personally Identifiable Information under this Privacy Policy.
To collect Site Usage Information, the Site (and any e-mails sent to Users by the Site or otherwise by us) may utilize Cookies, Web Beacons, Embedded Scripts or similar technologies:
“Cookies” are small data files sent to a User’s browser when a User visits the Site, which are stored on the User’s computer. Whenever a User visits the Site, Cookies automatically identify a User’s web browser, and may make navigating and using the Site easier. Also, by tracking User behavior, Cookies help us determine which areas are popular and which are not. Additionally, accepting Cookies may allow Users to, among other things, personalize and enhance their experience on the Site. If a User does not want to allow for use of Cookies, such User can generally opt-out by setting browsers to reject Cookies. However, please be aware that some areas and features of the Site may not be available to Users, in whole or in part, who disable the use of cookies.
“Web Beacons” are small, often invisible, graphic elements included in a web page or e-mail, allowing the party that set the Web Beacon to monitor and collect certain limited information about the viewer of the web page or e-mail message (such as the type of browser downloading the Web Beacon, the IP address of the computer that the Web Beacon is sent to and the time the Web Beacon was viewed, as well as the URL of the page the web beacon comes from). We may use Web Beacons for many purposes, such as to tally visitors to the Site, or to monitor how visitors navigate the Site, and we may include Web Beacons or similar technologies in e-mails in order to count how many of the e-mails (or particular articles, links, etc.) we send are actually opened.
“Embedded Scripts” are programming codes designed to collect information about User interactions with the Site, which are temporarily downloaded onto computers from our server or a contracted third party, and are active only while a User is connected to the Site – thereafter, Embedded Scripts are deleted.
We may elect to utilize Google Analytics (and in the future may use other similar sites or services), a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to better assist us in understanding how the Site is used. Google Analytics place Cookies on a User’s computer that will generate information that we select about use of the Site, including such User’s computer’s IP address. That information is transmitted to and stored by Google, and used to evaluate User activities on the Site. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Typically a User may refuse the use of Cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on their web browser. However, by doing so, such User may not be able to use the full functionality of the Site. Because Google is a third party, the use of Cookies by Google Analytics is covered by Google’s privacy policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/).
In addition to Cookies, Web Beacons, Embedded Scripts, and Google Analytics, we reserve the right to use other now known or later developed technologies to assist us in observing and analyzing User behavior.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may contract with other individuals and entities to assist with providing services available to Users on the Site, and to otherwise assist us in operating and/or enhancing our business.
We do not share Personally Identifiable Information with third parties for those third parties’ marketing purposes. We may share Non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as Site Usage Information or other aggregated user statistics, with third parties. In addition, we may share Personally Identifiable Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy and in any other manner in which a User expressly consents via the Site.
We may, and reserve the right to, retain and use Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information for any and all purposes that we deem necessary or desirable to us, including but not limited to (1) the provision of services or transactions; (2) analysis of interactions by and among use with any and all Users; (3) communicating with Users regarding information, features or offers that we believe will be of interest to Users; (4) responding to User requests; (5) contacting Users in regard to the Site; (6) processing information submitted through the Site; (7) conducting User surveys; (8) combining such information with any other information that we may be lawfully in possession of in order to analyze any and all associations between Users and us otherwise; and (9) the fulfillment of any other purpose disclosed at the time a User provides Personally Identifiable Information.
We may share Personally Identifiable Information with affiliates, subsidiaries, or third parties who, without limitation, require access to Personally Identifiable Information for business purposes related to the services we may offer on the Site, such as, for example, accreditors of continuing education programs we provide or intend to provide. We may also share Personally Identifiable Information with third parties who perform services on our behalf, including, without limitation, third parties that send communications, process payments, analyze data, provide marketing assistance, or create, host and/or provide customer service on our behalf.
We may disclose Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (1) when we believe in good faith that the law requires it; (2) at the request of governmental authorities conducting an audit or investigation; (3) pursuant to a court order, subpoena, or discovery request in litigation; (4) to verify or enforce compliance with our Terms of Use or other agreements or policies governing the Site, and with applicable laws, rules, and regulations; or (5) whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability or to protect or enforce the rights, interests, or safety of the Site, its Users or other third parties. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful.
We reserve the right to disclose and transfer Personally Identifiable Information in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, restructuring, financing, sale of substantially all assets, or other corporate change. In addition, in discussing and negotiating any of the foregoing transactions, we may provide the potential buyer with information about Users, which may include Personally Identifiable Information. Upon consummating one of the foregoing transactions, every User’s Personally Identifiable Information may be transferred to the purchaser, who will be required to treat such Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
HOW WE STORE INFORMATION
We maintain commercially reasonable safeguards to maintain the security and privacy of Personally Identifiable Information that we collect. However, we cannot guarantee the security of any data whatsoever submitted over the Internet. The information we collect from Users, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, is stored on servers protected by procedures and technology designed to block reasonably foreseeable intrusions by unauthorized third parties. We may store and process any of the information we may collect in the United States or any other country in which we or our agents maintain facilities. By using the Site, Users agree that any information that we are authorized to collect hereunder may be transferred to and stored at any of these facilities. No storage or processing of Personally Identifiable Information on the Site or on other servers or databases to which such information may be transferred can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please consider this prior to interacting with the Site and/or sharing Personally Identifiable Information in any interactions whatsoever that you may have with or on the Site.
Users are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of Personally Identifiable Information that they do not wish to be shared, and for controlling any and all interactions they may elect to have with the Site or any third party. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the functionality, privacy, or security measures of any other organization.
THIRD PARTIES
THIS PRIVACY POLICY DOES NOT GOVERN ANY INTERACTIONS OR USE, STORAGE, AND/OR FURTHER COLLECTION OR DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION THAT MAY OCCUR WHEN USERS ELECT TO ENTER, REGISTER, UTILIZE, OR OTHERWISE INTERACT WITH, IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER, ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY OTHER WEBSITES OR MATERIAL OTHERWISE ACCESSIBLE BY ENGAGING LINKS ON THE SITE, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ACCESS TO THIRD PARTY INTERACTIONS ARE OTHERWISE AVAILABLE ON, OR CAUSED OR OCCASIONED BY INTERACTING WITH, THE SITE. ANY INTERACTIONS BY AND AMONG USERS AND THIRD PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE PRIVACY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF SUCH THIRD PARTIES. ANY THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE OR SERVICE THAT MAY PROCESS PAYMENTS OR PERFORM SCREENINGS FOR US, AS WELL AS ANY WEBSITES OF OUR ADVERTISERS, SPONSORS, AND AFFILIATED ENTITIES THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE SITE, ARE CONSIDERED THIRD PARTIES, AND THEREFORE ANY AND ALL INTERACTIONS USERS MAY HAVE WITH THEM ARE NOT GOVERNED BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
In addition, third-party service providers may ask Users voluntarily to provide Personally Identifiable Information or Non-Personally Identifiable Information through the Site or on their websites and may share such information with us, as governed by their respective privacy policies. Unless expressly provided otherwise herein, our use of, or interaction with, any information received from any such third party will be dictated by the privacy policies of such third party and not this Privacy Policy.
Furthermore, certain content on the Site may be served by a third party. These third parties may also drop their own Cookies and/or use Web Beacons or Embedded Scripts. We do not control the use of such technology by third parties, the information they collect, or how they use and/or store such information.
Thus, Users should consult the specific privacy policies posted on third party sites when linking to them, as any links on the Site providing access to any third party web pages, services, or materials do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed such; furthermore, we are not responsible for any conduct employed by or related to any web pages, services, or materials linked to or from our Site, or any information or content contain therein. We are not responsible and do not have control over any third-parties that Users authorize to access Personally Identifiable Information or Non-Personally Identifiable Information, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Any User who interacts with a third-party website or service does so at their own risk. We therefore encourage Users to monitor when and if they are interacting with a third party and not us.
This Privacy Policy applies explicitly to the interactions between individual Users and the Site and, in regard to the subject matter discussed herein, does not apply to any interactions that Users may have with one another. For more information on our role in regard to interactions by and among Users, please visit our Terms of Use, available at [____________________].
EMAIL MANAGEMENT
Users may receive emails from us for a variety of reasons associated with their interactions with or on the Site. We respect the desire of Users to manage email correspondence. Users can manage receipt of some types of communication by following the instructions included emails we send. Please note that, even if Users unsubscribe from certain email correspondences, we may still need to email Users with important information.
UPDATING USER INFORMATION
In accordance with routine corporate record-keeping practices, we may delete certain records. We are under no obligation to store any User’s Personally Identifiable Information or Non-Personally Identifiable Information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such information. However, we may retain Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information for a commercially reasonable time for backup, archival, and/or audit purposes.
SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Privacy Policy is held invalid under any applicable law, such invalidity will not affect any other provision of this Privacy Policy that can be given effect without the invalid provision. Further, all terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy will be deemed enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.
