We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or opinions expressed in such Web sites, and such Web sites are not investigated, monitored or checked for accuracy or completeness by us. Inclusion of any linked Web site on our Site does not imply approval or endorsement of the linked Web site by us. If you decide to leave our Site and access these third-party sites, you do so at your own risk. Update to Member Agreement ECA will occasionally update these terms of service and use. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the Member Agreement page. You agree that your continued use of ECA constitutes acceptance of any changes.

We disclaim any duty or obligation to update any information on our site. Information about other companies should not be relied upon as being provided or endorsed by us. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Therefore, some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Limitation of Liability Our affiliated parties and we have no liability whatsoever for your use of any information or service; nor do we have any liability whatsoever for any product purchased through the site. ECA shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, business, use (or inability to use), data or other intangibles, even if ECA has been advised of the possibility of such damages, resulting from the use or the inability to use the service or from transactions entered into with ECA through the service or resulting from unauthorized access to or alteration of transmissions or data.

The negation of damages set forth herein is a fundamental element of the bargain between you and us. This site and the information on the site would not be provided without such limitations. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Therefore, some of the above limitations may not apply to you. Miscellaneous The Member Agreement and Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Each party hereto agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and waives trial by jury and any objection based on forum non-conveniens or venue. Any lawsuit arising out of or related to the Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred. If any provision(s) of the Terms of Service and Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. ECA’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Member Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Minds Island in writing. The section titles in the Member Agreement are used solely for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance. The Member Agreement constitutes your entire agreement with ECA. ECA reserves the right to make changes to the ECA Site, this Member Agreement and its disclaimers and policies at any time. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Member Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor the right to enforce such provision. Privacy Policy ECA uses all your information in a responsible manner! We use the information internally to be able to better serve you. Example; we might send you an announcement of new or improved services via the email address you provide us; we might send you an invitation to a gallery reception. ECA does not sell, rent, or release personal information (i.e. name, address, email address, etc.) gathered on our sites to other companies, individuals or groups. Personal Information Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through email, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online. Compliance with Legal Process We may disclose personal information if we are required to do so by law, or in good faith believe that such action is necessary to: 1) comply with the law or with legal process; 2) protect and defend our rights and property; 3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of EasthamptonCityArts.com data; or 4) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public (among other things, this means that if you provide false information or attempt to pose as someone else, information about you may be disclosed as part of any investigation into your actions). Encryption and Security Software We use encryption and security software to safeguard the personal and confidential information that we collect from you. These mechanisms are used to protect against unauthorized access and disclosure, and the accidental loss, alteration or destruction of such information. Users’ personal information is only accessible by a limited number of site administrators who have special access rights to the secured systems. Use of IP Addresses An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration to audit the use of our site. When guests request pages from our site, our servers log the guests' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our rules or Member Agreement or to protect our service, site, customers, or others. Cookies A "cookie" is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about you, including records of your visits to some Web sites. The cookie enables us to enhance and better customize your user experience. For example, by setting a cookie on our site, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies used at our site expire when you log out, or when you close the browser. We don't use them to track anything other than your member activities at the website. The help function on most browsers contains information on how to set your browser to notify you before accepting cookies or to disable cookies entirely. However, if you don't accept cookies, you won't be able to use any feature that requires registration or subscription. Security and Protection of Your Information We take very seriously our commitment to protect your personal information. To this end, we maintain a secure process to collect, transmit and store your personally identifiable information. Subscribers can review or change their registration or subscription information at any time through the secure Member Profile page. We urge you to keep your password in a safe place and not to divulge it to anyone. Also remember to sign off your account and close your browser window when you have finished your visit. This ensures that others cannot access your account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or using a computer in a public place. As a dynamic and growing Site, Easthampton City Arts may contain links to other sites that are not under our control. Those Web sites have their own policies regarding privacy. For your own protection, you should review their policies upon visiting these other sites to make sure they meet your expectations of privacy.
