You may download material displayed on the Site for non-commercial, personal use only, provided you also retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained on the materials. You may not, however, distribute, modify, transmit, reuse, report, or use the contents of the Site for public or commercial purposes, including the text, images, audio, and video, without AIA's written permission.

Your access and use of the Site is also subject to the following terms and conditions ("Terms and Conditions") and all applicable laws. By accessing and browsing the Site, you accept, without limitation or qualification, the Terms and Conditions.

Terms and Conditions

1. You should assume that everything you see or read on the Site is copyrighted unless otherwise noted and may not be used without the written permission of AIA except as provided in these Terms and Conditions or in the text on the Site. AIA neither warrants nor represents that your use of materials displayed on the Site will not infringe rights of third parties not owned by or affiliated with AIA.

2. While AIA uses reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information on the site, AIA makes no warranties or representations as to its accuracy.   AIA assumes no liability or responsibility for any errors or omissions in the content on the Site.

3. YOUR USE AND BROWSING OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. NEITHER AIA NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SITE IS LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS TO, OR USE OF, THE SITE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EVERYTHING ON THE SITE IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Check your local laws for any restrictions or limitations regarding the exclusion of implied warranties. AIA also assumes no responsibility, and shall not be liable, for any damages to, or viruses that may infect your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to, use of, or browsing in the Site or your downloading of any materials, data, text, images, video, or audio from the Site.

4. Any communication or material you transmit to the Site by electronic mail or otherwise, including any data, questions, comments, suggestions, or the like is, and will be treated as, non-confidential and non-proprietary. Anything you transmit or post may be used by AIA or its affiliates for any purpose, including, but not limited to, reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast, and posting. Furthermore, AIA is free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any communication you send to the Site for any purpose whatsoever, including, but not limited to, developing, manufacturing, and marketing products using such information.

5. Images of people or places displayed on the Site are either the property of, or used with permission by, AIA. The use of these images by you, or anyone else authorized by you, is prohibited unless specifically permitted by these Terms and Conditions or specific permission provided elsewhere on the Site. Any unauthorized use of the images may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and communications regulations and statutes.

6. The trademarks, logos, and service marks (collectively the "Trademark(s)") displayed on the Site, including AIA, are registered and unregistered Trademark(s) of AIA or others. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark(s) displayed on the Site without the written permission of AIA or such third party that may own the Trademark(s) displayed on the Site. Your misuse of the Trademark(s) displayed on the Site, or any other content on the Site, except as provided in these Terms and Conditions, is strictly prohibited. You are also advised that AIA will aggressively enforce its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law, which may include the seeking of criminal prosecution.

7. AIA has not reviewed all of the sites linked to the Site and is not responsible for the contents of any off-site pages or any other sites linked to the Site. Your linking to any other off-site pages or other sites is at your own risk.

8. Although AIA may from time to time monitor or review discussions, chats, postings, transmissions, bulletin boards, and the like on the Site, AIA is under no obligation to do so and assumes no responsibility or liability arising from the content of any such locations nor for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane material or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You may not (i) select or use a member name or e-mail address of another person with the intention of impersonating that person; (ii) use a member name or e-mail address of anyone else without authorization; (iii) use a member name in violation of the intellectual property rights of any person; or (iv) use a member name that AIA considers to be offensive.

AIA will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing AIA to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials. No conduct shall be undertaken that, in AIA's judgment, restricts or inhibits any other user from using or enjoying the discussions, chats, postings, transmissions, bulletin boards, and the like on the Site. Advertising or commercial solicitation may be posted on or transmitted through the Message Boards but only with AIA's express prior approval and only if the advertising or commercial solicitation complies with all conditions imposed by AIA.

9. Privacy.

The Web site sites collect no personally identifying information about you except when AIA specifically requests permission from you, and you explicitly or implicitly grant such permission. You should be aware that when you voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) on the Message Boards, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or parties.

10. AIA may at any time revise these Terms and Conditions by updating this posting. You are bound by any such revisions and should therefore periodically visit this page to review the then current Terms and Conditions to which you are bound.
