    Terms of Use for the CPOA Platform

    Please read these terms of service before accessing or participating in any mailing list, email service, website, transaction or other online forums available on the Chautauqua Property Owners Association (“CPOA”) Platform or any other CPOA site (Platform and any other CPOA site referred to as “Platform”). By using and participating in Platform, you signify that you have read these terms and agree to be bound by and comply with them. If you do not agree to be bound by these terms, exit the Platform.

    CPOA reserves the right to modify these terms at any time and will publish notice of any such modifications online at this Platform or elsewhere online. By continuing to access Platform after notice of such modifications has been published, you signify your agreement to be bound by them.

     

    Disclaimer

    Platform may include unmoderated discussion forums containing the personal opinions and other expressions of the persons who post entries or contribute content on a wide range of topics. Neither the public content of these forums, nor the links to other websites, are screened, approved, reviewed or endorsed by CPOA, the CPOA Board, or any CPOA-affiliated entity, although CPOA makes every effort to provide accurate public information on the Platform. CPOA is not deemed a publisher of any of the content of the forums, or of any content that may be available through links to and from them, and is acting solely as an Internet content service provider.

     

    Policy

    It is the policy of the CPOA to maintain an environment that promotes ethical and responsible conduct in all online network activities. It shall be a violation of this policy for any user to engage in any activity that does not conform to the established purpose and general rules and policies of CPOA's online community.

    By using CPOA computing resources, users assume personal responsibility for appropriate use of those resources and agree to comply with this and other applicable CPOA policies, as well as city, state, and federal laws and regulations.

    The CPOA Acceptable Use Policy defines penalties leading up to and including loss of system access. In addition, some activities may lead to risk of legal liability, both civil and criminal.

    Users of CPOA's online community are strongly encouraged to review and understand the contents of this policy.
