Section
1. General Terms - Content and Communications
(a) The Website is a venue with the sole purpose of offering information
pertaining to Law Enforcement Membership, Donations, Fundraising, Buying and
Selling goods, products and services. The NLEPOB mission is to provide valuable
information to users; however, there may be content provided or generated by
third parties that are intentionally or accidentally incorrect. The Website may
contain inaccuracies or typographical errors. Content has been obtained from
third party sources such as merchants, newspapers, magazines, and other
publications and information sources. NLEPOB does not have control over the
sale, offer, advertisement, promotional and related information published on
the Website. NLEPOB shall not be considered to be an advertising or other
agency, merchant of goods or services, broker, dealer, advisor, advocate, sales
representative, middleman or other intermediary. Any
offers, sales or purchases you make with another person or entity, or decisions
you make facilitated through the Website are strictly on your own. You must do
your own due diligence and use your best judgment. The use, posting,
distribution, or publication of any content does not constitute or imply an
endorsement, recommendation, advice, opinion or comment by NLEPOB nor an
assurance of legality, quality or safety by NLEPOB. NLEPOB shall not be
responsible for any offer, sale, purchase or other transaction made, content
posted, or other communications made by anyone posting prices, offering goods
or services, advertisements, opportunities, advice, proposals or other
information on the Website. Prices and details of offers, promotions, specials
and sales may significantly vary from that posted on the Website. Users should
call the merchant in advance to confirm. Any goods or services purchased by
users are purchased directly from the respective merchant and that merchant is
solely responsible to the user for every aspect of such purchase.
(b) Each user is solely responsible for the communications medium that such
user uses in community interactions. NLEPOB reserves the right to expel users
and prevent their further access to the Website for violating this Agreement or
the law. Parents and guardians are solely responsible for use of this site by
their children under the age of eighteen. Minors may not use this site without
actual parental supervision.
(c) NLEPOB is not obligated to screen communications or postings in advance and
is not responsible for screening or monitoring the Website or its posted
content. However, you acknowledge and agree that NLEPOB has the right to
monitor the Website electronically from time to time in its sole discretion, and
to disclose any information as necessary or appropriate to satisfy any law,
regulation or other governmental request, to operate the Website properly, or
to protect itself or its users..
(d) If NLEPOB is notified of communications or content that allegedly do not
conform to this Agreement, it may investigate the allegation and determine in
its sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of the content or
termination of use of the Website. NLEPOB has no liability or responsibility to
users for performance or nonperformance of such activities. If a user views
content or receives communications allegedly inconsistent with this Agreement,
an e-mail may be sent to info@NJLEPOB.com
stating the observed behavior. Following receipt of such correspondence,
decisions will be made regarding user terminations, removal of posted content,
or other actions deemed appropriate by NLEPOB in its sole discretion. All
decisions made by NLEPOB are final and do not imply nor impose, on NLEPOB, any
responsibility or liability for the form, intent, or accuracy of the original,
or any future, posted content by or communications between anyone.

The Website is in compliance with the current draft of the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) specification. This
specification was developed to allow users to more easily evaluate the use of
personal information collected by the web sites they visit. Thus, if your
browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 6, or later, your browser can
electronically interpret the P3P version of our privacy policies.
If you visit the Website, we do not collect any personally identifiable
information about you (such as your name, address, phone number or email
address) unless you provide it.
You must provide personal information in order to use certain optional features
of the Website, including, but not limited to, paying dues, membership
renewals, donations, Advertising your business,
purchases, e-mail alerts, receiving newsflashes or letters, discounts, coupons
and sweepstakes. The manner in which we will use your personal information will
be disclosed on the page through which you sign up or otherwise provide
information to use the feature. We will, and by your use of these optional
features you expressly authorize us to, use the information you provide in
order to provide these optional features.
We will not disclose any personal information to a third party without your
express prior written authorization. Unless you explicitly ask us to or as
disclosed when you sign up for an optional feature, we will not share any
personal information that you provide with any third party or use the
information for any purpose other than to provide the specific feature that you
request.
Collection
and Use of Non-Personal Information
We collect and store non-personally identifiable (anonymous) information about
you that is generated automatically as you navigate through the Website, such
as the server your computer is logged into or your browser type. Other examples
of non-personally identifiable information include: your ZIP Code and/or City,
State; your IP address (a unique number that is automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you are surfing the Web; many Web servers automatically
identify your computer by its IP address); your domain type (i.e., .com, .net,
.edu, etc.); or standard information included with every communication sent on
the Internet, such as browser type, operating system, browser language, service
provider, and local time. NLEPOB collects data from the Web logs of its servers
-- the computers that "serve up" Web pages -- delivering the NLEPOB
content. This includes information about what you view and, along with
information gathered from our other users.
We create "aggregate data" reports that we may disclose to third
parties, including our clients with whom we have entered into an agreement to
provide such information. We may also study aggregate data in order to enhance
our existing services or develop new services.
Additionally, we may use non-personally identifiable information about your
visit to this Website to enable us or a third party to provide you with
information while you are using this Website or other websites about products
and services.
Also, we use third-party advertising companies and advertising networks to
serve ads to you on our behalf when you visit our Web site. These companies may
use non-personally identifiable information about your visits to this and other
Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of
interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to
know your choices about not having this information used by these third-party
advertising companies, please visit http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp.
We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is
necessary to enforce compliance with our terms of use or to protect our
service, site, customers, or other individuals.

used for record keeping, to track your movements when you visit the Website and
to help us determine what type of information to present to you. The use of
cookies, shared objects and web beacons is an industry standard - you'll find
them used at most Web sites. Our cookies, shared objects and web beacons do not

Confidentiality
and Security
NLEPOB has implemented generally accepted standards of technology security in
order to protect information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration or destruction.
Links
to Other Sites
The Website may provide links to an external Web site. When you click on such a
link, you will leave NLEPOB. The privacy policy of the external Web site will
then be in effect, not NLEPOB's. NLEPOB does not control or makes an
endorsement of any kind regarding the external site or its privacy policy.
NLEPOB's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation
of the Internet, and therefore beyond NLEPOB's control, and is not to be
applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation. We
do not control cookies from the other sites that you may link to from NLEPOB.
This children's privacy statement explains our practices with respect to the
online collection and use of personal information from children under the age
of 13, and provides important information regarding their rights under federal
law with respect to such information.
All versions of this privacy policy are dated with the effective date (the date
on which the policy was posted to this Website). NLEPOB will only use the
information we learn about you in the manner described in the Privacy Policy in
effect when the information was collected from you. However, we reserve the
right to change the terms of this Privacy Policy at any time by posting
revisions to our site.
Changes
in Corporate Structure
If NLEPOB is sold, merged or otherwise transferred to another entity, the
personal information you have provided at this site may be transferred as part
of that transaction. However, we will take steps to assure that any personal
information is used in a manner consistent with the NLEPOB privacy policy under
which it was collected.
Effect
of Legal Obligations upon this Privacy Policy
NLEPOB may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to
believe that disclosing this information is necessary to comply with law, to
cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement, to identify, contact or
bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference
with (either intentionally or unintentionally) NLEPOB's rights or property,
other NLEPOB users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
NLEPOB may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law
requires it.
