YOU REPRESENT TO US THAT YOU ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, AND ARE FULLY ABLE AND COMPETENT TO ENTER INTO, AND TO ABIDE BY AND COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS OF USE.  IF YOU ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18, YOUR PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN MUST AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE ON YOUR BEHALF BEFORE YOU MAY ACCESS OR USE ANY NAEPC SITE.

  1. Acceptance.  The National Association of Estate Planners & Councils and/or its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, including, without limitation, local chapters and councils (collectively, “NAEPC”, “we”, or “us”) own or operate a network of websites, which includes this website and the websites listed here, as well as the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils mobile application (collectively, the “NAEPC Sites”, and each, an “NAEPC Site”).  These Terms of Use (these “Terms of Use”) set forth the terms and conditions that apply to your use of any NAEPC Site, including access to and use of the publicly available areas and features of such NAEPC Site (“Public Areas”) and any nonpublic areas or features of such NAEPC Site to which you have been granted access as a Registered User (“Restricted Areas”).  Unless otherwise indicated, the term “NAEPC Sites” as used throughout these Terms of Use shall include the Public Areas and any Restricted Areas of an NAEPC Site.  For the purposes of these Terms of Use, “you” or “your” shall refer to you as a visitor of a Public Area of an NAEPC Site or as a Registered User of an NAEPC Site (“User”).  From time to time, NAEPC may supplement these Terms of Use with additional terms pertaining to specific content (“Additional Terms”), which may be placed on an NAEPC Site to be viewed in connection with the specific content, promotions, services, products or events offered through such NAEPC Site.  Such Additional Terms are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use.

The NAEPC Sites are controlled and offered by NAEPC from its facilities in the United States of America.  NAEPC makes no representations that any NAEPC Site is appropriate or available for use in other jurisdictions.  If you are a non-U.S. resident and you access an NAEPC Site, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with local laws and regulations.  You may not access, download, use or export any NAEPC Site or Content (as defined below) therein in violation of U.S. export laws or regulations, or in violation of any other applicable laws or regulations.

  1. Changes to these Terms of Use.  NAEPC may modify these Terms of Use at any time and from time to time.  Notification of such modifications will be posted on the NAEPC Sites or otherwise provided to Registered Users by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address(es) last provided to us by them (or by regular mail if there is no such e-mail address on record), and such modified Terms of Use will be effective immediately upon posting.  Your continued use of any NAEPC Site after the posting of the modified Terms of Use constitutes your agreement to abide and be bound by such terms, as modified.  Should you object to any modification, your sole recourse is to terminate your use of the NAEPC Sites.  These Terms of Use may not otherwise be modified, except in a writing signed by both parties.
     
  2. Changes to NAEPC Sites.  NAEPC reserves the right to modify or discontinue any NAEPC Site (or any portion thereof), temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to you, and is not obligated to support or update any of the NAEPC Sites.  NAEPC shall not be liable to you or any third party in the event that NAEPC exercises its right to modify or discontinue any NAEPC Site (or any portion thereof).  Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance an NAEPC Site shall be subject to these Terms of Use.
     
  3. Privacy Policy.  Any personal information provided by you in connection with your use of an NAEPC Site, including, without limitation, any Registration Data (as defined below) you may provide as a Registered User, will be treated in accordance with NAEPC’s Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Except as expressly described in such Privacy Policy, NAEPC will not disclose any personal information about a User unless authorized by that User or unless NAEPC is required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform with applicable laws or comply with legal process; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of NAEPC; or (c) enforce these Terms of Use.  Your access and use of any NAEPC Site or Content constitutes your agreement to the Privacy Policy.
     
  4. Suspension or Termination of Use or Access.  Your failure to follow any requirement of these Terms of Use may result in suspension or termination of access to the NAEPC Sites, without notice, in addition to NAEPC’s other remedies.  NAEPC further reserves the right to terminate, without notice and in its sole discretion, any User’s access to or use of any NAEPC Site for any reason.  NAEPC shall not have any liability to you or to any third party in respect of any limitation or suspension of your access to any NAEPC Site.
     
  5. License Grant and Content.  Subject to these Terms of Use, NAEPC hereby grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable right to: (a) access the NAEPC Sites; and (b) access, download and use the information, materials, text, graphics, images, sound files, animation files, video files, software and any other material or content made available through the NAEPC Sites (the “Content”) for your personal or internal use only; provided, however, that only Registered Users have the right to access and use Restricted Areas of the NAEPC Site(s) for which they are registered.  For the avoidance of doubt, Content does not include any User Generated Content (as defined below).  Unauthorized access to any NAEPC Site, or to the telecommunications or computer facilities used to deliver such NAEPC Site, is a breach of these Terms of Use and is a violation of law.

You will protect Content from unauthorized copying or use.  Modifications of, additions to or deletions from Content are strictly prohibited.  Except as specifically permitted in these Terms of Use, you shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) transfer, sell, sublicense, rent or lease Content; (ii) circumvent any encrypted data or gain access to more content or data than is licensed to you or use any NAEPC Site in any manner which violates these Terms of Use or any applicable laws; (iii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, translate or convert any computer program used to access an NAEPC Site (except as local law may permit without violation of local copyright law); or (iv) copy, reproduce, disclose, distribute, display, perform, publish, adapt, create derivative works of, translate, or otherwise modify any Content, or permit any third party to engage in any of the acts proscribed in clauses (i) through (iv).  You agree not to remove or alter any printed or on-screen copyright, trade secret or other legal notices contained on or in any Content.  Reproduction of Content in any form or by any means, including, but not limited to, information storage and retrieval systems, recordings and re-transmittals, use in any timesharing, service bureau, bulletin board or similar arrangement or public display without NAEPC’s prior written permission is forbidden.

Content is protected by copyright and other United States and foreign intellectual property and related laws.  Content includes both material owned or controlled by NAEPC and material owned or controlled by third parties and licensed to NAEPC.  Except for User Generated Content, as between you and NAEPC, title to all Content remains with NAEPC or the third party owners of such Content.  Any use of Content not expressly permitted by these Terms of Use is a breach hereof and may violate copyright, trademark and other laws.  All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by NAEPC.

  1. Registered User Access.  The Restricted Area of any NAEPC Site is made available to Users that register with such NAEPC Site and who are members of the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils or a local chapter thereof or affiliated regional, as applicable (each, a “Registered User”).  Restricted Areas contain confidential, nonpublic information, and are intended only for the use of the individual or entity that has been specifically authorized by NAEPC to view such information.  In order to use the Restricted Area for which he, she or it has registered, a Registered User must: (a) provide certain current, complete and accurate information about such Registered User on the applicable registration form (“Registration Data”); (b) maintain and update such Registration Data as required to keep information current, complete and accurate; (c) provide all equipment, including a computer and modem, necessary to establish an Internet connection; (d) provide for such Registered User’s own access to the Internet; and (e) pay any telephone, data, hosting or other service fees associated with such access.  NAEPC reserves the right to terminate a Registered User’s account and rights to use any Restricted Area, Content, services, products or events available through an NAEPC Site if any Registration Data provided by such Registered User is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or if NAEPC has reasonable grounds to believe that any Registration Data is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete.
     
  2. Username and Password.  A Restricted Area can be accessed by Registered Users who have registered to use such Restricted Area, through a combination of a unique username and password designated to each such Registered User when he, she or it registers to use such Restricted Area.  Registered Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their username and passwords.  Furthermore, each Registered User is entirely responsible for any and all activities which occur under his, her or its username and password.  Each Registered User agrees to immediately notify NAEPC of any unauthorized use of his, her or its account, username or password or any other breach of security known to such Registered User.  Although NAEPC will not be liable for losses caused by any unauthorized use of a Registered User’s account, username or password, such Registered User may be liable for the losses of NAEPC or others due to such unauthorized use.  A Registered User is solely responsible for (a) any damages or losses incurred by NAEPC or any third party as a result of such Registered User’s failure to maintain the confidentiality of his, her or its username and password; and (b) promptly informing NAEPC in writing of any need to deactivate any username and password due to security concerns.

  • any inappropriate, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, potentially libelous or slanderous, infringing, harmful, harassing, threatening or illegal content or information that NAEPC, in its sole discretion, views as objectionable (including, but not limited to, text, graphics, audio and video files);

  1. User Generated Content.  Users may have the opportunity to post files, information, data, ideas, remarks, questions, comments, materials or other content on an NAEPC Site (collectively “User Generated Content”) or to submit such User Generated Content for posting on an NAEPC Site.  User Generated Content does not include User Feedback (as defined below).  You understand that, whether or not such User Generated Content is published, NAEPC does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect thereto.  You retain all of your ownership rights in your User Generated Content.  However, by submitting User Generated Content to any NAEPC Site, you hereby grant NAEPC a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, host, cache, store, archive, index, reproduce, publicly perform and publicly display such User Generated Content in connection with such NAEPC Site and NAEPC’s business.

  2. Copyright ComplaintsNAEPC does not permit copyright infringing activities and other infringement of intellectual property rights on any of the NAEPC Sites, and NAEPC will remove content if properly notified that such content infringes on another’s intellectual property rights.  If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content in any area of an NAEPC Site infringes upon or otherwise conflicts with your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by providing NAEPC’s designated Copyright Agent (as defined below) with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) for further detail):
