List Serv - Terms of Service

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

Welcome to The New York Credit Union Association's ListServ (the "Service"). The Association provides the Service to you, subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. In addition, when using the Service, you and The Association shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to the Service that may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS.

2. MEMBER CONDUCT

You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated. This means that you, and not the Association, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service. The Association does not control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will the Association be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Service. You agree to not use the Service to:
 

a. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;

b. impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, a the Association official, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;

c. forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any Content transmitted through the Service;

d. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements);

e. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party;
 

f. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of solicitation, except in those areas (such as shopping rooms) that are designated for such purpose;
 

g. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;
 

h. interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to the Service;
 

i. intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national or international law;
 

j. "stalk" or otherwise harass another;
 

k. collect or store personal data about other users.
 

You acknowledge that the Association does not pre-screen Content, but that the Association and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or move any Content that is available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, the Association and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by the Association or submitted to the Association. You acknowledge and agree that the Association may preserve Content and may also disclose Content if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with the legal process; (b) enforce the TOS; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the Association and its members.

3. INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold the Association and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit or make available through the Service, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of another.

4. GENERAL PRACTICES REGARDING USE AND STORAGE

You acknowledge that the Association may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation the maximum number of days that email messages, message board postings or other uploaded Content will be retained by the Service, the maximum number of email messages that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service, the maximum size of any email message that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service, the maximum disk space that will be allotted on the Association's servers on your behalf, and the maximum number of times (and the maximum duration for which) you may access the Service in a given period of time. You agree that the Association has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any messages and other communications or other Content maintained or transmitted by the Service. You acknowledge that the Association reserves the right to log off accounts that are inactive for an extended period of time. You further acknowledge that the Association reserves the right to change these general practices and limits at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice.

5. MODIFICATIONS TO SERVICE

The Association reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that the Association shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

6. TERMINATION

You agree that the Association, in its sole discretion, may terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service, and remove and discard any Content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if the Association believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS. The Association may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this TOS may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that the Association may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that the Association shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.

7. LINKS

The Service may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other World Wide Web sites or resources. Because the Association has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that the Association is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. You further acknowledge and agree that the Association shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such Content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource.

8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

You expressly understand and agree that:
 

a. Your use of the service is at your own sole risk. The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. The Association expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

You expressly understand and agree that the Association shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if the Association has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from:

(i) The use or the inability to use this service;
 

(ii) The cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the Service;
 

(iii) Unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data;
 

(iv) Statements or conduct of any third party on the Service;
 

(v) Or any other matter relating to the Service.

10. GENERAL INFORMATION

The TOS constitute the entire agreement between you and The Association and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and The Association. The TOS and the relationship between you and The Association shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The failure of The Association to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be 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 the TOS remain in full force and effect.
