THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

Any claim against us shall be limited to the amount you paid, if any, for use of the Services.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 2AWNY.COM and its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and their owners, directors, officers, managers, employees, shareholders, agents, and licensors, from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any violation of the Terms, or the failure to fulfill any obligations relating to your account incurred by you or any other person using your account. We reserve the right to take over the exclusive defense of any claim for which we are entitled to indemnification under this Section. In such event, you shall provide us with such cooperation as is reasonably requested by us.

11. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Time Period Limitation for Bringing Claim

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of New York. By using the Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other states, countries, territories or jurisdictions.

With respect to any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms (including without limitation the Privacy Policy), 2AWNY.COM and you agree to negotiate in good faith and undertake reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another in order to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution.  If you and 2AWNY.COM do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this section. You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all disputes in court before a judge or jury.  Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.  Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.

Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis.  Neither you nor 2AWNY.COM will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.

2AWNY.COM and you agree that all disputes arising under these Terms that cannot be settled through informal negotiation will be settled exclusively through confidential binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association in New York State.  The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction.  You agree that 2AWNY.COM may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in New York State, necessary to protect its rights or property pending the completion of arbitration.

To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under these Terms must be filed within one year in an arbitration proceeding.  The one-year period begins when the claim or notice of dispute first could be filed.  If a claim or dispute isn’t filed within one year, it is permanently barred.

12. Termination

2AWNY.COM may terminate this agreement for any reason at any time.  2AWNY.COM reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to and use of the Service, with or without prior notice. Otherwise applicable sections of the Terms shall survive termination. In addition to any termination rights, we reserve the right to enforce and prosecute any violations of these Terms.

13. Integration and Severability

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between 2AWNY.COM and you, and govern your use of the Services.  The Terms supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us.  In the event any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions and will be replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.

14. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provisions of the Terms or respond to a breach by you or other parties shall not in any way waive our right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of the Terms or to act with respect to similar breaches.

15. Separate Terms and Conditions

In connection with your use of the Services, you may be asked to consent to policies or terms and conditions in addition to these Terms.  Please read these supplemental policies and terms carefully before making any use of such portions of the Services.  Any supplemental terms will not vary or replace these Terms regarding any use of the Services, unless otherwise expressly stated.

Privacy Policy

Updated: July 23, 2019

2AWNY.COM realizes how important privacy is to our membership. We have prepared this Privacy Policy to provide you with important information about our privacy practices. This Privacy Policy applies when you use any 2AWNY.COM Web site, mobile application, or other online service (collectively, the “Services”) that links or refers to it. This policy describes what types of information we gather about you, how we use it, under what circumstances we disclose it to third parties, and how you can update it.

We reserve the right to change this Policy.  As a service to our users, we will post the date of the most recent updates to this policy at the top of the page.

You should also read, understand, and agree to 2AWNY.COM's Terms of Service and User Agreement for the Services, which you can find at this link.

1. Information Collection

We may collect personal information about our users in various ways. For example, we may collect information that you provide to us, information that we collect through your use of the Services, and information that we collect from publicly available sources or third parties.

We gather certain broad information about website use including the number of unique visitors, the frequency with which they visit, and the programs and Services preferred. We look at the data in summary form, rather than on an individual basis. We gather this information so we can learn how many people visit 2AWNY.COM sites and services, which pages are the most and least viewed, and which websites are referring visitors to our sites and Services. We use this information to help us in restructuring sites to meet our members’ needs. 2AWNY.COM sites and services do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

When you register or otherwise interact with the Services, you may be invited to provide personal information to enhance your experience on our site. For example, during account registration, we may ask for information such as your name, e-mail address, year of birth, gender, residence and/or mailing address, job title and industry, and other information. We may collect payment information, such as your credit card number and expiration date, where appropriate to process a financial transaction you have requested.

We also collect information that you provide us when you comment on articles, participate in message boards, and submit images, photos, videos, or other content to the Services.

Under no circumstances will 2AWNY.COM sell your information to third parties or any commercial entities.

2. Cookies and Tracking Codes

2AWNY.COM Services makes use of cookies, web beacons, pixels, and other kinds of tracking codes to personalize and customize your interaction with 2AWNY.COM and to provide you with the best possible online experience. A cookie is a tiny encrypted text file that is placed in your device’s data storage.

2AWNY.COM uses cookies in conjunction with third parties (such as Facebook and Google) to provide measurement on marketing campaigns and send targeted advertisements to internet users. Using cookies allows personally identifiable information to remain undisclosed.

You can set your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Some features of the Services may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled. For additional information on managing cookies and tracking codes, please select your browser below:

We collect and analyze traffic on our Services by keeping track of the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of our visitors.

4. Personal Information

You may be asked to provide different types of personal information, including your name, date of birth, email address, mailing address or telephone number. Particular Services may require additional information such as your billing address, credit card number and expiration date. For example, we may ask for information to process your membership application, a contribution, submit a petition, facilitate an online store purchase, or register for one of our events. There are also optional opportunities for you to share your preferences and interests.

5. Control of Personal Information

We also use your information to send you notices in the mail or by email about special member or supporter benefits, discounts and offers. If you do not wish to receive mailings, you can let us know by emailing us through our contact page.

6. Data Security

We and our vendors have in place various procedures to protect the information we collect online. However, as effective as these measures are, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

We protect your personal information by using technologies and processes such as encryption, access control procedures, network firewalls, physical security and other measures. Data is secured in transit by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. Only authorized employees or agents with a legitimate business purpose are allowed to access your personal information. We train our employees and agents to implement and understand our privacy and confidentiality policies.

Please understand that 2AWNY.COM is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites linked to our sites or other third parties.  When leaving an 2AWNY.COM site using such a link or by clicking on an advertisement, you should review the applicable privacy policy of the other party.

7. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent, unless permitted by law. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law.

8. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by posting changes here, or by other appropriate means. Any changes to the Privacy Policy will become effective when the updated policy is posted on the Services. Your use of the Services or your provision of personal information to use the Services following such changes indicates your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
