Welcome to the Alliance for Full Participation (AFP) website, also known as "www.allianceforfullparticipation.org" or the "AFP website." The primary goal of the AFP website is to provide a safe, decent, fair, and effective platform for communication among State Team members, employers, AFP personnel and the general public. Member ConductWe welcome people of all ages, races, religions, genders, national origins, sexual orientations and points of view. We do not tolerate expressions of bigotry, hatred, harassment or abuse, nor will we tolerate threats of harm to anyone. Because we encourage discussion and the exchange of ideas, we do not allow defamatory, abusive, tasteless or indecorous content or statements. For the same reason, we do not allow sexually explicit material on the website, nor links to such material. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed, by participation in the AFP website that the AFP is not responsible for any content posted by Members, and Members are solely and individually responsible for the quality and accuracy of any content they may post on the AFP website.Ownership of Copyright and Intellectual PropertyAll materials found in the pages of this website are protected under the copyright laws of United States and of other countries. Certain names, words, titles, phrases, logos, icons, graphics or designs in the pages of this website may constitute trade names, trademarks or service marks of the AFP website, or the use of which may have been licensed to them. The display of trademarks, trade names or service marks on pages at this website does not imply that a license of any kind has been granted to anyone else. Any unauthorized downloading, retransmission, republication or other copying or modification of material posted on this website, including trademarks, trade names, and service marks, may violate federal, provincial, common or civil law trademark law and copyright law, and result in legal action.Materials, Documents and Information Contained on the AFP WebsiteMaterials, documents and information contained in this website are for informational purposes only. The AFP, its directors, officers, members and agents make no representations about the suitability of the information contained in the documents and related graphics published on this website for any purpose. The materials, documents and information contained on this website are believed to be accurate and complete at the time of posting. Although the AFP attempts to ensure that all information, documents and materials remain current and accurate, AFP does not warrant their accuracy, completeness and currency at all times. The information, documents, materials and software algorithms contained on this website or which may be downloaded from this website, including text, graphics and hyperlinks, are provided "as is" and "as available." The AFP does not warrant, guarantee or otherwise endorse any particular product, vendor or service that may be advertised on the website. The AFP is not responsible for the contents of any advertisement, or for the goods and services of our advertisers. The AFP disclaims all warranties and conditions with regard to this information, including all implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. In no event shall the AFP be liable for any direct, special, indirect or consequential damages or any damages whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with the use or performance of the website. No Illegal Activities The AFP does not allow any illegal activities. Specifically, all participants shall not use the website to advocate illegal conduct or participate in illegal or fraudulent schemes. You can not use the website to distribute unauthorized copies of copyrighted material, including photos, artwork, text, recordings, designs or computer programs. In addition, you may not post, or use, computer programs that contain destructive features, such as viruses, worms, trojans, bot scripts and any other form of invasive software.Communication ServicesThe website may contain bulletin board services, chat areas, forums and/or other message or communication tools designed to enable Members to communicate with the public at large or with a group (collectively, "Communication Services"). Postings to and transmission between parties via the Communication Services may not be reviewed prior to appearing on the website. We reserve the right to remove messages that are flagged as inappropriate by any Members that express concern through separate communication with our webmaster. We reserve the right to edit, move, or delete any postings on the Communication Services, and to immediately terminate or suspend access to the website for conduct that interferes with other Member's enjoyment of the website. The website may provide forums that cover a number of topics; however, the website's staff and neighborhood moderators do not offer professional advice of any kind, and are speaking from their own experience or opinion as is helpful for the facilitating of conversation. Such personnel claim no professional expertise or authority. We do our best to encourage comfort and discourage disruptive communication. We also discourage disruptive statements that incite others to violate our standards. We encourage your participation in upholding our standards. When in doubt about appropriate behavior here, remember that although the website is a virtual community, the people here are real. So, just as when you join any gathering of people, we ask that you treat others with mutual respect and with care.Links to Third Party Websites and AdvertisementsSolely as a courtesy to you, we may provide links to other websites at certain places on our website; however, we do not endorse, approve, certify or control any of those websites. Because we do not have any control over such websites, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the content of the websites or the availability, accuracy, completeness, efficacy, or timeliness of information contained on those websites. In addition, we are not and will not be responsible for webcasting or any other form of transmission received from any linked website. Use of those websites or any information obtained from those websites is voluntary, and reliance on it should only be undertaken after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, efficacy and timeliness. There may also be advertisements and classifieds for products and services contained on the website. These advertisers are not affiliated with AFP and AFP is not responsible for the contents of any advertisement, or for the goods and services of our advertisers. Users of this website are encouraged to make their own evaluation of such goods and services. AFP does not endorse or recommend any commercial products, processes, or services. AFP is providing these links and advertisements to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link or advertisement does not imply endorsement by the AFP of the linked site or the advertiser.SecurityThe exchange of information such as passwords or electronic mail, between the website and Members, may not be secure given the structure of the Internet. Consequently, although this website may have standard security measures in place that are intended to protect against the loss of information that we collect, you should keep in mind that this website is run on software, hardware and networks, any component of which may, from time to time, require maintenance or experience problems or breaches of security. At present, the login capability is only for AFP and State Team members. AFP encourages Members to change their passwords frequently.
