USAPnet reserves the right to modify the Terms at any time, in which case the revised Terms of Use will appear on the Site and your continued use of the Site after USAPnet posts any such changes will constitute your acceptance of the Terms of Use, as modified. USAPnet grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive license to use this Site solely for your own personal use.

If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account, you agree to notify USAPnet immediately at info@usaparner.net. By becoming a member, you agree that you will (i) provide true, complete, accurate and current data, a required in the registration process (and update such data as needed); (ii) not select or use a member name, e-mail address, or password of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (iii) not allow another person or entity not a member to use your account or passwords to obtain benefits available to you only as a member of USAPnet.

You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and that you (and not USAPNET) are liable for any harm that may result from your disclosing (or allowing the disclosure of) your password or other breach of these Terms.

PRIVACY POLICY
USA Partner Network Understands Privacy Is Important To Our Members
We are committed to protecting your privacy and want to make sure that you understand how your membership information is used.
What Information We Collect
When you apply for membership, we ask for basic information such as your name, your company’s name, contact information and type of business you are in. We keep track of your participation in our member services so we can understand our members' interests and evaluate the effectiveness of our offerings. We also collect generic demographic information from other sources to help us better serve our members and to improve our programs, activities and resources. We also collect information online in additional ways that are described below.
Use of Information
Our primary purpose in collecting electronic information is to provide you with access to the products and services you request, and to evaluate and improve other services that we offer. We ask for information so that we can process your membership application and provide you with special offers for USA Partner Network members. We may use this information to service your membership account, send you publications, and answer any questions you may have about our membership offerings. On occasion, we will also use your membership information to send you notices in the mail or by email about special member benefits, discounts and offers. Some USA Partner Network partners may also send you promotional mail or emails, or contact you by phone to determine if you are interested in their products and services.
Information Sharing
We share your personal information with companies we have partnered with to provide our members various products and services or support our operations. Some of these providers of products and services, including many of those listed on the USAPartner.net website, may pay a fee for access to our membership list. Our contracts with these companies require them to keep the member information confidential, and allow them to use the information only to offer the contracted products or services to our members. Some of our service providers may also collect data about our members through their interactions with our members. The providers may share some or all of this data with us so that we may offer more effective and personalized service to our members.
We also have relationships with certain companies that we have selected and approved to offer our member benefit products and services on linked sites. On some of these sites, you may be asked to enter personal information in order to take advantage of their services or programs. If you decide to purchase products or services on one or more of these linked websites, you may be asked for your name, member number, company name and address, email address and credit card information to enable the provider to contact you about your purchase transaction. The contracted member benefit providers of these linked sites may have their own privacy policies that apply to the information you have given them and you should review these policies. Other USA Partner Network affiliates may also have access to member information that we have acquired. We may occasionally release personal member information when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce the Terms of Service applicable to our website, or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our site, our members, the public or our partners.
In order to protect your personal information, we use technologies and processes such as encryption, access control procedures, network firewalls, physical security and other measures. Although we cannot guarantee the security of our database or our servers, these measures are designed to increase the security and privacy of information traveling to, from and within USAPartner.net. Only our authorized employees or agents carrying out permitted business functions are allowed to access personal information. Employees who violate our privacy access policies may be subject to disciplinary actions, including termination when appropriate.
In order to interact with our website as a member, we require you to use a password to protect your account from unauthorized access by others. If you do allow others to access USA Partner Network members-only services through your personal password or to use your membership account number, please understand that you are responsible for the actions of those individuals.
This privacy policy describes the types of information we currently collect, and the ways we use and protect that information. From time to time, we may collect different types of information and use that information in different ways undefined for example, when we add features or services. In these cases, we may edit this policy to explain the new practices.
Cookies
We may also collect other types of information that do not allow us to identify your name, email address or other personal characteristics. This "non-personal information" includes the number assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet ("IP address") and the type of browser you use. None of this non-personal information allows us to identify or contact you. We use this information to help us evaluate how our site is being used. We may also assign a "cookie" to your computer in some situations. Like an IP address, a "cookie" is a kind of online identification tag that allows us to recognize your computer each time you visit our site. We may also use Web beacons in conjunction with cookies to help us monitor the activity on our website. A Web beacon is an image file contained in an advertisement or other content that indicates when the ad or the content has loaded on to a user’s screen. We refer to cookies and Web beacons together here as “cookies.”
This privacy policy is effective April, 2013.
