PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE VERY CAREFULLY. THIS IS A LEGAL CONTRACT.
Acceptance of Terms of Use
The McKonly & Asbury, LLP (“M&A”) Client Portal (the “portal”) is offered to you conditioned on your acceptance of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein. By using the portal, you agree to these terms and conditions. If you are not a client of M&A or an authorized employee of a client of M&A, any use by you of the portal is prohibited.
Description of Service
The portal provides clients of M&A and authorized employees of clients of M&A with access to information displayed on the portal for inquiries and deliveries of documents and communications for their account only. The information, documents, and communications on the portal are provided as a convenient resource to M&A clients and may be used for informational purposes only for their account.
User Password and Security
Using the portal and its related services require the use of a password and a user name. The confidentiality of your password and account is your responsibility. Any activities that occur under your account are your responsibility. You agree to notify M&A immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. It is prohibited to use anyone else’s account without the express permission of that account holder.
All data is housed on ShareFile’s servers. ShareFile’s data centers are SSAE 16 compliant and all communications between ShareFile and the user are encrypted using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Each user of the system has a unique login and password. All user passwords are hashed in the ShareFile database, meaning that not even the ShareFile support personnel have the ability to view or in any way determine a user’s password. More information about the security of ShareFile can be found at http://www.sharefile.com/industries/business/security.aspx.
Accuracy of Content and Liability Disclaimer
M&A will strive to use reasonable efforts to include accurate and updated information on the portal; however, you understand and agree that M&A is under no obligation to do so and neither M&A nor its suppliers make any representation or warranty about the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, and accuracy of the information, software, documents, and communications contained on the portal for any purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all such information, software, documents, and communications are provided “as is” without warranty or condition of any kind. M&A, and its suppliers, hereby disclaim all warranties and conditions with regard to such information, software, documents, and communications, including without limitation, all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall M&A, or its suppliers, be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential damages, or any other damages whatsoever, including without limitation, damages for loss of use, data, or profits, arising out of or in any way connected with your use or the performance of the portal, with the delay or inability to use the portal or related services, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if any of M&A or its suppliers has been advised of the possibility of damages. Certain states do not permit types of these limitations, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the portal, information, documents, or communications on the portal, or with any of these terms and conditions of use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to cease using the portal and the information, documents, or communications you obtained from the portal.
