rights are reserved. Some parts of the site were also originally
copyrighted © 1991 to 2008 by ASI. Elements of this web site
are
protected by trade dress and other laws and may not be copied or
imitated in whole or in part.
No permission is given to our competitors to copy, publish or republish
any material on this site, although they may view the material in our
public areas.
Permission is given to other people interested in obtaining the
products that we license and sell, to make a reasonable number of
copies of information in our public areas to use internally in order to
reach their purchase decisions.
Permission is given to licensed users of our Products to make
reasonable numbers of copies of materials from the public or customer
areas but only for their own internal use and with the exception that
they are not permitted to create manuals, guides or other training
materials that are functionally similar to those that can be purchased
from us or from their Solution Provider.
Any permitted copying, publication or republication must be done
without altering the material quoted or distorting the information
quoted or conveying a concept different from what is on the site.
Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved. We are liberal
about making exceptions, so contact us if you have any doubts.
Trademarks
iMIS, e-Series, C/S,
LAN, CyberiMIS, iMIS.com,
Content Manager, Caspian and ActiveMatter are trademarks, logos,
servicemarks and designmarks ("Marks") of Advanced Solutions
International, Inc. (ASI) that are used to identify its products, both
individually and in combination. Thus, the following are also Marks of
ASI:iMIS C/S, iMIS C/S for Sybase ASA, iMIS C/S for Microsoft SQL, iMIS for MSDE, iMIS for SQL Express, iMIS LAN, iMIS
e-Series, iMIS.com, iMIS
Fund Raising, iMIS Fund

Fund Raising for Microsoft SQL. Also, iMIS
Xtender, iMIS Fund
Raising, iMIS Symmetry, iMIS Expo, iMIS

Web Services Central, iMIS
Unified, iMIS
Client/Server, iMIS
e-X where X is the name of a module or option such as e-Events or
e-Orders, as well as ScriptMaster and MatchMaker are all Marks of ASI,
branding special modules, services or programs. iMIS
is a registered trademark.
The names of other companies and their products mentioned on this site
are the trademarks of their respective owners. The ASI Marks of iMIS Enterprise, iMIS Millennium, Express! and iMIS W are not being marketed but
still identify products that are in use and all rights continue to be
reserved.
Please note that in some sections of this site, technical limitations
prevent the showing of the normal display attributes of these Marks
and, for example, iMIS.com
may appear as imis.com. This is particularly true in postings. It is
not an indication that ASI has abandoned its Marks or any of its rights
in its Marks, but only of the immaturity of web tools.
Our Solution Providers are authorized to use many of our Marks to
identify themselves as providers of those Products. This authorization
is in our separate agreement with them. Others are not permitted to use
our Marks without our written permission and especially not where it
could create confusion in the mind of potential customers.
Accuracy
Information on this web site may contain technical inaccuracies or
typographical errors. Information may be changed or updated without
notice. We have attempted to be as accurate as possible at the time
that information is added to this site, but the pace of change in the
computer field makes information quickly out of date. Always contact us
to verify information before relying upon it, even for planning
purposes. We may also make improvements and/or changes in the products
and/or the programs described on the site at any time without notice.
Information on demonstration and show sites are deliberately inaccurate
because they represent mythical organizations.
Areas - Forums - Links -
Demo - Sites
Areas
The information in the public areas is summary information and not
technical information and all products and services are sold or
licensed based only on their technical specifications as contained in
our current manuals, bulletins and alerts or in a Task Order. All sales
or licensing of products is under the terms of our License Agreement
for ASI Products and all services are preformed under the terms of our
Master Services Agreement.
The information in our customer areas is provided as a service to
assist users of our products and to supplement, not supplant, the
Solution Provider or our Consulting Department who is your primary
source of information. The information on this site is "associated
documentation" as defined in the License Agreement and the disclaimers
and limitations of liability in your Services Agreement apply to the
information you may obtain from this site.
The information in our Solution Providers areas is provided as a
service to our Solution Providers, including our Authorized Resellers
and Authorized Consultants. Technical information is provided with the
expectation that the Solution Provider is highly skilled in its tasks
and should be used with care since each site is unique. Our liability
is limited as detailed in the Solution Provider Agreement, Services
Agreement or other agreement with the Solution Provider.
The information in our employee areas is part of our Intranet and it is
confidential and proprietary and you are not permitted to access or
download it.
Forums
We host a number of Forums for End-Users (including Solution Providers)
to exchange information and help each other. Forums are interactive
pages where the reader is able to enter information for others to see.
Forums include blogs, wiki's, books, polls and projects in addition to
traditional posting forums. Some are commercial Forums used mainly to
advertise products being sold by Solution Providers (our Solution
Providers independently resell our products or services as well as
their own products and services). We are not responsible for the
content of the messages in a commercial forum. Many may contain
programs or program fragments and we do not check them for accuracy or
even if they contain viruses. Use them at your own risk. Goods and
services advertised in Forums are not endorsed, reviewed or advocated
by us. Investigate them thoroughly and buy and use them at your own
risk.
We are not responsible for the messages posted on any Forums that are
not signed by ASI, as a company. See our main legal statement for
details. We are not responsible for the accuracy, truthfulness, content
or use of any message posted on a Forum. If a message is posted by an
ASI employee that identifies him/her as being an employee (e.g.
ASI-Consulting) but does not say “on behalf of
ASI”, then
the message is from the person as an individual and not from ASI as a
company and the reference to ASI is for identification purposes
only.
All messages that you post are assumed to be in the public domain and
can be read, copied and republished by anyone without any restrictions.
If this is not true for a particular message, you must state so
explicitly in the message. All messages that we post, however, are
subject to all of the restrictions of this site, including copyright
and access.
Any information that you post is at your own risk. We do not enforce
copyright protection and often posting ideas, program fragments or
entire programs may cause you to lose any trade secret protection you
had in the ideas, algorithms or coding methods. We can make commercial
use these ideas or code, ourselves. If you are selling these goods or
services, we do not collect for you nor create or enforce any
agreements between you and your prospect or customer. Any information
that we post about our products is "additional documentation" under the
terms of the License Agreement and should not be discussed outside of
the community of iMIS
users.
We have a special forum for submitting "How To" questions about using
iMIS.
This forum is available to End-Users in good standing (not suspended or
on credit hold) who are members of our Software/Update Plan. The
questions are private (not seen by other users) and answered by our
award winning Technical Support Department. Although we do our best, we
can not guaranty that every answer will always be correct or will
properly apply in your situation.
Most Forums have Do's and Don't about postings. By using the Forum, you
agree to read and follow them.
Links
Sometimes we provide links to other web sites established by third
parties These links are provided only as a convenience and service to
you and we do not make any representations about these sites or the
materials available there.
Demonstration Sites
We also maintain demonstration web "sites" that are part of a main site
but used to demonstrate our products. They often may look like the
separate site of a mythical organization and you should not rely on any
of the content on such sites. Any similarities with a real site are
unintentional. In addition, we have "show sites" that are set up for
showing our products to a single prospect that may have information
about that prospect. If you stumble upon a show site and somehow get
past its security, please leave it if you are not the prospect.
Access and Passwords
Access
Access to the public areas is available to anyone, even our
competitors. Access to the customer areas is reserved for users of our
products who are members of our Software Update Plan and a password is
required. Almost all iMIS
sites are members of this plan since the updates add so much value to
the user community. Access to the Solution Provider areas is reserved
for Authorized Solution Providers (our Solution Providers include our
Authorized Resellers and Authorized Consultants who independently
resell our products or services) and a password is also required. It
contains highly technical information that should only be used by
people who have received training from us and have had experience with
our Products. Accessing an area for which you are not authorized
involves your downloading copyrighted information, violates our
copyright and is prohibited. If you need information that is not
available in your authorized area, contact us. We can almost always
help.
Passwords
If you are using a password to access an area on our site, that
password is only for your use and must not be shared with anyone inside
or outside your organization. If you have a temporary password, you can
only use it to educate yourself about the scope of the services and you
agree not to rely on any information you obtain in the process.
Credit, Liability and Data
Credit and Liability
If you are buying any goods or obtaining any services from us (even
free services) through this web site, your transactions are subject to
the following terms.
(Credit) You will be billed for all charges, either directly or through
your charge card and agree to pay all bills within thirty days and not
to stop or reverse any payment without our permission.
(Liability and Remedies) Our liability is only for direct damages and
not for consequential, indirect or other special damages such as lost
profits Your only remedy is to have us to fix the problem or refund to
you an amount not to exceed what you paid us for the goods or services
in dispute. If you have a License Agreement or Services Agreement with
us, these are Products or Services under the applicable Agreement and
subject to even greater restrictions. These Terms of Use supplement any
License Agreement or Services Agreement that you may have with us and
do not supplant those Agreements.
(Vendor Information) Our Tax Payer ID Number is 74-2613824.
Data Stored on our Site
In some cases you may store data on our site and we will backup and
guard your data at least as well as we backup and guard our own data.
However, you should also backup your data at your own site and review
it periodically to make sure that it is not corrupted. Note the
limitations on our liability in the Credit section, above, and remember
that you are the one primarily responsible for your data.
Spam
Individuals and businesses that send spam should take notice that
Advanced Solutions International regards spam (and junk faxes) as an
interference with our business and reserves the right to initiate legal
action against spammers and junk faxers. Anyone sending us spam or junk
faxes will be responsible for all business and legal costs associated
with that spam, including reasonable attorney's fees.
Notice to junk faxers: Sending unsolicited commercial faxes has been
illegal under Federal law since 1991 (47 USC § 227.) We have,
and
will continue to, successfully sue companies and individuals who send
us unsolicited commercial faxes. If you send us a junk fax (unsolicited
advertisement or promotion) you agree to pay us $500 or $1,500 per fax,
in accordance with 47 USC § 227, plus any legal costs we incur.
Notice to spammers: Certain types of spam is prohibited by the CAN-SPAM
Act of 2003 (Chapter 47 of title 18, United States Code). In such
cases, we will notify the State Attorney General as well as the federal
authorities and help them to prepare a case against you.
Do we send spam? We do not think so. We only mail to people who have
expressed an interest in our products or who are active members of
organizations (like a society of association executives) who
recommended them to us as likely to be interested in our products. We
do not have the time or energy to advertise to the world or solicit
leads that are not likely to be productive. If you have received
unsolicited e-mail from us that is of no interest to you, please let us
know and we will usually take you off of the list we used and try and
shield you from future mailings. We comply fully with the CAN-SPAM
Act.
Country Notices
Laws in various countries require special notices for information about
our operations in those countries. In any case, here is contact

OnLine Privacy Policy
By using this site, you agree to the terms of this Online Privacy
Policy (including all links) and of our Terms of Use. If you do not
agree to these terms, please do not use this site. We are not
responsible for the content or privacy practices of other web sites to
which we may link.
Personal Information
In general, you can visit the public areas of our site without telling
us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.
You may request more information be sent to you and, in that case, we
will ask you to provide contact information, which may include your
name, company, mailing address, e-mail address or other personally
identifying information.
When you submit personal information to us, you understand and agree
that we and our affiliates may access, store, and use your customer
profile in any of the countries in which we and our affiliates maintain
offices, including without limitation the United States.
Some areas of our site require a password and you have to identify
yourself to apply for the password. We should already have information
about you and will update that information and record your password.
If you submit information about problems or send us questions or
comments, we will often share them with your Solution Provider.
This site is not designed to be of interest to children and we do not
knowingly collect, keep or use any information provided by or relating
to minors.
We take reasonable steps to preserve the confidentiality of your
personal information as required by the Australian National Privacy
Principals and by Ontario law.
Confidentiality
We consider the contact information that you give us to be some of the
most important information that we have and take active steps to keep
it confidential. We would appreciate your updating your contact
information if it changes by resigning our guest book and telling us in
the comment box what you are updating.
If you submit information about problems or send us questions or
comments, we will often share that information with your Solution
Provider. If you call us with problems, questions or comments, we
sometimes monitor (listen to or record) the conversations for quality
assurance reasons. By using this web site, you agree to this
monitoring.
If you store data on our web site, there are special terms relating
just to that information.
We take reasonable steps as required by the Australian Privacy Policies
to secure your personal information, including using Secured Sockets
Layer protocol to secure your charge card data.
Secure Socket Layer
Netscape developed a protocol called SSL (Secure Socket Layer), as a
secure protocol that provides means for authentication and private
communications. It is now widely used to provide secure communications
of credit card and other information.
To find out if your transaction is guarded by SSL, look for the picture
of the unbroken key or closed lock in your browser window (both the
Netscape Navigator/Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
browsers use SSL). Either indicator means SSL is hard at work. (If you
don't see either one, or if you see a broken key or an open lock, that
means SSL is not protecting your transaction.)
The easy way you can tell if SSL is guarding your transaction is to
check the URL of the site you are visiting. It should change from
"http" to "https" when processing secure transactions.
Use
We collect information about you for a variety of reasons, including to
sell our products and services to you. We may selectively provide
certain information to other companies or organizations whose products
or services we think may interest you and that are related in some way
to ours. We will often notify a local Solution Provider who resells our
products about your interest and ask it to contact you to provide more
information about how our products can help solve your unique needs and
what capabilities the Solution Provider can provide locally. By giving
us your telephone number, your facsimile number or your e-mail address,
you give us expressed permission to use that information to contact
you, either directly or through a local Solution Provider.
We do not sell our mailing lists to spammers. If you want to be removed
from our database, please let us know by e-mail. If we obtained the
contact information solely from your providing it through this web
site, we will delete it, but if you were already in our database, we
may or may not remove it.
Cookies
We sometimes use "cookies" to track your visit to and through the site.
A cookie, which is small amount of data that is transferred to your
browser by our web server and that only has meaning to us, functions as
your identification card, pointing us to where we may keep a copy of
your ASI passwords and previous access. It cannot be executed as code
or deliver viruses. We use it mainly to keep track of items in your
shopping cart. This information does not identify you personally and
you remain anonymous unless you have otherwise provided us with
personal information.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set your
browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance
to decide whether or not to accept it.
Forums
If you use our forums or post a message in a public place, you are
giving implied consent for anyone to read, copy, and republish your
message or any part of it. Note that forums include blogs, wiki's,
books, polls and projects found on imiscommunity.com.
When you join a forum, your e-mail address is available to other forum
members and anyone can use it to write to you or to add it to their own
mailing list. Forums also contain statistics and other information on
your use of the forum and these are usually available to all forum
members.
We exercise no control over the use of any of this information.
Surveys
We sometimes conduct surveys for our own use. We will not reveal your
answers to survey questions to third parties unless you have given us
your consent except we may tell your iMIS
Solution Provider about your problems so it can try and fix them. We
can use the information in the survey any way we like as long as we do
not identify you as the person giving a particular answer.
We sometimes conduct surveys for other organizations and the data
belongs to them. We do not control (or usually see) the message that
you receive nor the content of the survey. You have to decide if you
want to answer the questions. The data for third party surveys flows
through our site and, if it is held by us, it is held in confidence and
we secure it the same way we secure our own data. However, once the
third party downloads the data, their privacy policies will determine
how it is used.
Sites
These Terms of Use (including our Privacy Policy) apply to all ASI
sites including the following:
- www.imis.com and www.advsol.com [our main sites]
- www.fiskbrett.co.uk [our new charities division]
- www.imiscommunity.com [a site for developers]
