This is the official Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms of Use") for www.asahq.org (the "Site"), an Internet Web site made available by the American Society of Anesthesiologists ("ASA", "we", "us," or "our") to provide information, products, and/or services relating to ASA's mission, approach, and initiatives. The contents of the Site include, without limitation, all information, content, data, products, materials, services, software applications and tools, design elements, text, images, photographs, illustrations, audio and video material, artwork, graphics contained therein or otherwise made available to you in connection therewith (collectively the "Material") and, unless the context clearly requires otherwise, or we explicitly say so in writing, the term "Site" includes all of the Material.
These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ASA regarding your use of and access to the Site. These Terms of Use do not alter in any way the terms and conditions of any other agreement you may have with ASA, unless otherwise directed by ASA. If you breach any of these terms and conditions, your authorization to use this Site automatically terminates and you must immediately destroy any downloaded or printed materials and discontinue use of any hyperlinks to this Site.
Acceptance Procedure; Additional Terms And Conditions
By accessing and/or using the Site in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read these Terms of Use and all of the terms and conditions contained herein, together with any additional terms and conditions that govern certain products and services made available to you via the Site ("Additional Terms and Conditions") and that you accept and agree to comply with and be bound by the same. The Site's Additional Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy are hereby incorporated in these Terms of Use by reference. To the extent that there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and any Additional Terms and Conditions for the activity in which you choose to participate, the Additional Terms and Conditions shall govern. These Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect as long as you are a user of the Site and, in the event of termination of any service or feature, you will still be bound by your obligations under these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and any Additional Terms and Conditions.
Click-Through Agreements
Before you may use certain areas of this Site, for example our Email Forums, you may be asked to indicate your acceptance of certain special terms and conditions by clicking on a button marked “OK” or “I agree.” Any special terms and conditions to which you agree will supplement and amend these Terms and Conditions.
Modifications
ASA reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change these Terms of Use from time to time for any reason and your access to the Site following our posting of such changes will be deemed to constitute your acceptance of, and agreement to, any such changed terms and conditions. You should check back and review the terms and conditions of this Agreement regularly so you are aware of the most current rights and obligations that apply to you and the terms and conditions of your Agreement with us.

If we receive notice of any claim of infringement that satisfies specific legal requirements, such as notice and takedown requirements under U.S. copyright law, we may remove User Submitted Content associated with such claim. We reserve the right to provide information to law enforcement officials, governmental agencies and pursuant to judicial or regulatory compulsion, to protect their respective interests, the Site, or to comply with legal, regulatory, audit, and compliance obligations.
Upon your submission of any User Submitted Content for posting and distribution via the Site, you hereby automatically grant to ASA and its affiliates the unqualified, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, and royalty free right, license, authorization, and permission, in any form or format, on or through any media or medium and with any technology or devices now known or hereafter developed or discovered, in whole or in part, to host, cache, store, maintain, use, reproduce, distribute, display, exhibit, perform, publish, broadcast, transmit, modify, prepare derivative works of, adapt, reformat, translate, and otherwise exploit all or any portion of such User Submitted Content on the Site and any other ASA owned or controlled programming services and distribution platforms, whether currently existing or existing or developed in the future (collectively, the "Platforms"), for any purpose whatsoever (including, without limitation, for any promotional purposes) without accounting, notification, credit, compensation, consideration, or other obligation to you, and the right to license and sub-license and authorize others to exercise any of the rights granted hereunder to ASA, in our sole discretion.

You hereby release ASA and its affiliates from any and all claims of any rights, encumbrances, liens, claims, demands, actions, or suits which you may or can have in connection with your User Submitted Content, including, without limitation, any and all liability for any use or nonuse of your User Submitted Content, claims for defamation, libel, slander, invasion of privacy, right of publicity, emotional distress, or economic loss.

Miscellaneous
These Terms of Use, together with any Additional Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole agreement between you and ASA and its affiliated entities relating to your use and our provision of the Site and the subject matter hereof. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this will not affect any other provisions and the Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to make it legal, valid, and enforceable. The laws of the State of Illinois govern these terms in all respects, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.

No e-mail address found on the Site may be harvested or otherwise used for purposes of solicitation. The appearance of any member's address, e-mail address, fax number, or telephone number on this Site does not constitute permission for you to contact that member for commercial purposes or to send that member facsimile advertisements or commercial electronic mail messages.
For your protection, ASA would like to remind you that a U.S. federal law known as the "CAN-SPAM Act" places restrictions on how Internet users may send e-mail messages where the primary purpose of the message is commercial advertisement or promoting a commercial product or service. Please refer to the CAN-SPAM Act for further definition of "commercial messages."
If you plan to send a message to any address you obtain from the ASA Member Directory or elsewhere on the ASA Site that might be considered primarily to be a commercial advertisement or to promote a commercial product or service, keep in mind that, a) you are prohibited from using e-mail addresses obtained from this Site for solicitation and b) it is your responsibility to make sure you comply with the CAN-SPAM Act.
Email Forums, Discussion Boards and Shared Resources
This Site may include e-mail forums, discussion boards, and file repositories of member-supplied content called “Shared Resources”, some of which may be available only to members and affiliates of ASA.
ASA does not control or receive any financial benefit from the messages, information, software, files or other materials posted on the Email Forums (the “Postings”). ASA neither condones nor is responsible for any Postings. ASA is an online service provider. If you believe that any Posting uses copyrighted material in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please notify our Designated Agent immediately.
ASA does not scan any Postings for viruses or other undesirable components and will not be responsible for any harm, inconvenience or damages to you or others that may result because a Posting contained viruses or other undesirable components. It is your responsibility to take appropriate steps to make certain that your Postings are free of viruses and other undesirable code before proceeding with your upload.
All Postings are made available to the interested community of participants in the Email Forums, which includes ASA members (and may include affiliate members and vendors). Postings will not be treated as confidential. Depending on the information you provide, your Postings may potentially be identifiable to professional or business matters involving you or your practice. We request that you do not post information in the Email Forums regarding any specific situations or matters that you consider to be confidential.
You may not forward any Postings to any third parties who are not subscribers to the Email Forums or members of ASA, without the prior written permission of the individual who posted the particular Posting.
ASA reserves the right at all times to disclose any Posting and the name of the individual who posted the Posting when we believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law (or a court order or subpoena); to prevent or investigate a possible crime or other violation of law; to enforce these Terms and Conditions, or to protect your rights, property or safety or the rights, property or safety of ASA or others.
ASA, in its sole discretion, may remove or refuse to post any materials, in whole or in part, for any reason, including, without limitation, materials that are objectionable or in breach of these Terms of Use. It is a condition of your use of the Email Forums that you do not:
All Postings to the Email Forums must contain the author's Email Forum user name; no anonymous Postings will be permitted. If you do not wish your e-mail address to be displayed publicly, then you should not send any Postings to the Email Forums. All Postings to the Shared Resources must contain the submitter’s name and organization name.
By submitting a Posting to the Email Forums, you warrant and represent that you have the legal right to transmit and post the Posting. By submitting a Posting, you grant ASA the nonexclusive right and license to use, copy, reformat, publish, display and perform publicly, distribute and transmit your Posting in connection with ASA’s maintenance and operation of this Site and the Email Forums and as otherwise set forth in these Terms of Use. By submitting a Posting you also grant the other users of the Email Forums the right to download one copy of your Posting for their own personal use or for internal use in their business, subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms of Use.
ASA may monitor all Email Forums, although it has no obligation to do so, and reserves the right to immediately terminate future access to the Email Forums for members who violate these Terms of Use.
Participants in the Email Forums are required to provide complete and accurate information when they register for the Email Forums, including their name and verifiable e-mail address. If there is a substantive change in your registration information, you agree to update your information online. Upon registering for the Email Forums, you may not transfer your account to others. You may, however, demonstrate the Email Forums to others, who may then register themselves.
By accessing the Email or other Email Forums, you accept, without limitation or qualification, these Terms of Use. You are solely responsible and can be held personally liable for your Postings. ASA will not indemnify you, and you hereby agree to indemnify and hold ASA harmless against any losses, liabilities, damages, fines, penalties, costs or expenses (including reasonably attorneys fees and disbursements) arising out of or in connection with your Postings, your use of the Email Forums, or your breach of these Terms of Use. ASA is not responsible for your use of or reliance on any Postings and accept no responsibility for the opinions and information posted by users of the Email Forums.
