FBINAA reserves the right to suspend or terminate User Accounts which it suspects are used in contradiction to the Terms of Service and/or contain information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete.

Please read our Privacy Policy located at www.fbinaa.org, which describes how FBINAA collects, uses, discloses, manages and stores your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”).

Registration Email and Contact by FBINAA

We reserve the right to send a one-time registration confirmation e-mail, and infrequent service alert messages to users to inform them of specific changes that may impact their ability to use a service they have previously signed up for, regardless of email contact opt-in status. We also reserve the right to contact you if compelled to do so as part of a legal proceeding or if there has been a violation of any applicable licensing, warranty, or purchase agreements. FBINAA is retaining this right because in limited cases we feel that we may need to contact you as a matter of law or regarding matters that will be important to you. This does not allow us to contact you to market a new or existing service if you have asked us not to do so, and issuance of these types of communications is rare.

When you create a User Account with FBINAA and/or provide your e-mail address and other personal identification information, based on your personal preferences, we may periodically contact you via e-mail and provide information about special offers and promotions that may be of interest to you. These communications will relate to FBINAA offers and/or the promotions of select, reputable third parties with whom FBINAA has a strategic marketing relationship because they offer products or services that we believe would be of interest to you. We may use a third party e-mail service provider to send e-mails to you. This service provider is prohibited from using your e-mail address for any purpose other than to send FBINAA related e-mail. If you do not wish to receive e-mails with updates and information please unsubscribe by sending an email to: info@fbinaa.org. In addition, every time you receive an e-mail, you will be provided the choice to opt-out of future e-mails by following the instructions provided in the e-mail. You may also opt-out online by updating your User Account as described in the User Account section of this Privacy Policy (above).

To ensure that your request is honored, you must provide FBINAA with information sufficient for us to accurately identify and access your records. The information we require is your full name, address and the email address you provided to FBINAA when you requested services or products. FBINAA reserves the right to contact you to verify that we have accurately identified your record.

User Content

User Account holders may upload pictures, data, information, and other material to be posted on and accessed through the FBINAA Application and Services (“User Content”). Certain information may be available to all users including users without User Accounts, such as information in your publicly-accessible account profile or publicly-viewable pictures you post (“Public Information”). Other information is only intended for particular users, such as personal communications between users (“Private Information”). Subject to this Terms of Service, your User Content may be used in any manner that has been authorized by you. You acknowledge and agree that FBINAA has no liability of any kind should users or third parties access to your User Content, whether Public Information or Private Information.

However, FBINAA reserves the right, solely upon its own discretion, to refuse, remove, or disable access to User Content that FBINAA learns may be illegal or may violate the terms of this Terms of Service, although it has no obligation to do so. FBINAA’s action or inaction to regulate content or conduct or to enforce against any potential violation of this Terms of Service by any user (or any other third party) does not waive FBINAA’s right to implement or not implement regulation or enforcement measures with respect to any subsequent or similar content, conduct, or potential Terms of Service violation.

FBINAA does not control, is not responsible for, and makes no representations or warranties with respect to any User Content. You are solely responsible for your access to, use of and/or reliance on any User Content.

You are also responsible for any content that you post or transmit as well as all content posted or transmitted through or by use of your User Account.

Although you retain your rights to User Content you submit, post or display on or through the FBINAA Application and Services, by submitting, posting or displaying User Content on or through the FBINAA Application or Services, you grant FBINAA a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute the User Content in any and all media or distribution methods.
