ACC NCR and its members need to be mindful of constraints of anti-trust or competition laws when engaging with each other at ACC NCR–hosted activities.

At any gatherings, members are reminded that it is their responsibility to avoid (and where they see others acting in such a manner, to discourage) any agreement or inappropriate conversations that could have anti-competitive effects or could constitute a restraint on trade. In discussing the pros and cons on a topic of discussion, members may express an opinion, but must avoid collective agreements on how any particular issue/matter should be handled. For more information on appropriate and inappropriate competitive behavior at ACC NCR meetings, please read ACC’s Competition Law Guidelines.

PERPETUITY RIGHTS

When these Terms come to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations and liabilities that you and ACC NCR have benefited from, been subject to (or which have accrued over time whilst the Terms have been in force) or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of this agreement shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations and liabilities indefinitely.

ADVERTISEMENT

Some of the Services may be supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions. These advertisements may be targeted to the content of information stored on the Services, queries made through the Services or other information. The manner, mode and extent of advertising by ACC NCR on the Services are subject to change without specific notice to you.

COPYRIGHT

TRADEMARKS

All ACC NCR trademarks are strictly owned by ACC NCR and/or the Association of Corporate Counsel, and nothing in these terms can be construed to transfer ownership rights or grant any permission, license or other rights to any ACC NCR trademark without written authorization from ACC NCR and ACC.

The names of actual companies and products mentioned within the ACC NCR Leadership Academy Website may be the trademarks of their respective owners.

Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

GENERAL LEGAL TERMS

The Terms constitute the whole legal agreement between you and ACC NCR and govern your use of the Services (but excluding any services which ACC NCR may provide to you under a separate written agreement), and completely replace any prior agreements between you and ACC NCR in relation to the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Services, which ACC NCR provides, may change from time to time with or without prior notice to you.

As part of ACC NCR’s continuing innovation, you acknowledge and agree that ACC NCR may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally at ACC NCR’s sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may stop using the Services at any time. You do not need to specifically inform ACC NCR when you stop using the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that if ACC NCR disables access to your account, you may be prevented from accessing the Services, your account details or any files or other content, which is contained in your account.

Unless you have been specifically permitted to do so in a separate agreement with ACC NCR, you agree that you will not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade or resell the Services for any purpose, most especially including not sharing the data supplied by other ACC NCR members to law firms or other vendors who are not ACC NCR members, or other ACC NCR members who are not participating in the Leadership Academy. You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that ACC NCR has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under the Terms and for the consequences (including any loss or damage which ACC NCR may suffer) of any such breach.

You acknowledge and agree that while ACC NCR may not currently have set a fixed limit on the number of transmissions you may send, receive or store/manage through the Services, such fixed limits may be set by ACC NCR at any time, at ACC NCR’s discretion.

You agree that if ACC NCR does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in the Terms (or which ACC NCR has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of ACC NCR’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to ACC NCR.

Unless ACC NCR has given you specific written permission to do so, you may not assign (or grant a sub-license of) your rights to use the Services, grant a security interest in or over your rights to use the Services, or otherwise transfer any part of your rights to use the Software. This means also that you shall not share your password or member access with non-members or members who are not participating in the Leadership Academy.

When these Terms come to an end, all of the legal rights, obligations and liabilities that you and ACC NCR have benefited from, been subject to (or which have accrued over time whilst the Terms have been in force), or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by this cessation, and the provisions of this agreement shall continue to apply to such rights, obligations and liabilities indefinitely.

If any disagreement or dispute arises regarding these Terms or any rights or obligations conveyed hereunder, the disagreement shall be resolved, whenever possible, by meeting and conferring. If such efforts are unsuccessful, either you or ACC NCR (collectively “Parties” or individually “Party”) shall seek a resolution via binding arbitration, to be conducted in the District of Columbia and in accordance with the then-prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any award conferred shall be enforceable in any court of suitable jurisdiction in the District of Columbia. The arbitration requirement does not apply to requests for injunctive relief.

Parties agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both Parties each waive any right to a jury trial. Parties both agree that either Party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

The Terms, and your relationship with ACC NCR under the Terms, shall be governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, USA, without regard to conflict of laws provisions. You and ACC NCR agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the District of Columbia to resolve any legal matter arising from the Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree that ACC NCR shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms, which will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms are effective as of 9 February 2017.
