Restrictions on Use of Materials
This entire World Wide Web site (the "BAI Website") is copyrighted under United States law and protected by worldwide copyright laws and treaty provisions. It contains various material such as content, software, video, audio, art, graphics, text, etc. collectively, (the "Materials"). You may not copy, reproduce, modify, make derivative works, publish, upload, post, transmit or distribute in any way, without BAI's prior written permission, any of the Materials. You may download or print one copy of any of the items that are included in the Materials for personal, non-commercial use. This is a license, not a transfer of title, and is subject to the following restrictions: you may not (a) modify the Materials; (b) use the Materials for any commercial purpose, or any public display, sale or rental; (c) make any further copies or derivative works of the Materials; (d) remove any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices from the Materials; (e) transfer the Materials to another person. You agree to prevent any unauthorized copying or use of the Materials. The use of any Material on any other web site or networked computer environment is strictly prohibited.
Limited License to Use the Materials
In the event you download any software from the BAI Website, the software, including any files, images incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively, the "Software") are made available to you to use for your own personal, non-commercial use on a limited basis. You may not use the Materials to construct any kind of database of information other than for your own personal use, regardless of whether the database is comprised of materials from other sources or only of Materials from BAI. By providing you with this limited license to use the Software, BAI is not in any way transferring to you title to the Software. You may own the medium on which the Software is recorded, but BAI retains full and complete title to the Software, and all intellectual property rights therein. You may not further copy, distribute, sell, transfer, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Software to a human-perceivable form.
Termination
This Agreement is effective until terminated by either party. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by destroying all Materials and all related documentation and all copies and installations thereof obtained from any and all of BAI's Website(s). This Agreement will terminate immediately without notice from BAI if in BAI's sole discretion you fail to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement. Upon termination, you must destroy all Materials obtained from this site and any and all other BAI Website(s) and all copies thereof.
Disclaimer
THIS SITE, THE MATERIALS, THE SOFTWARE AND ALL OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINS WITHIN THE FOREGOING ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.
BAI does not warrant that the functions contained in the Materials including Software will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that this site or the server that makes it available are free of viruses or other harmful components. BAI does not warrant or make any representations regarding the use or the results of the use of the Materials including Software in the BAI Website in terms of their correctness, accuracy, reliability, usefulness or otherwise. You (and not BAI) assume the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. In such states, the exclusion of implied warranties shall be as broad as the greatest extent permitted by such state.
Virtual Expo Disclaimer
BAI is the distributor of content supplied for the Virtual Expo by third party conference exhibitors and sponsors. Accordingly, BAI has no editorial control over content provided by participating companies. Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information or content expressed or made available by third parties are those of the respective author(s) or distributor(s) and not of BAI. Neither BAI nor any third-party provider of information posted and/or accessed through BAI's Web pages guarantees the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any content, nor its merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose.
In many instances, the Content available and/or accessed through BAI represents the opinions and judgments of the respective information provider, or other user not under contract with BAI. It should be understood that BAI neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice or statement made on BAI's web site by anyone other than authorized BAI employee spokespersons while acting in their official capacities. Under no circumstances will BAI be liable for any loss or damage caused by a Customer's reliance on information obtained through BAI's web site. It is the sole responsibility of Customer to evaluate the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice or other content available and/or accessed through BAI's web site. Please seek the advice of professionals, as appropriate, regarding the evaluation of any specific information, opinion, advice or other content.
BAI shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its option to monitor the content of BAI's Web pages to determine compliance with this Agreement and any terms of use established by BAI and to satisfy any law, regulation or authorized government request. BAI shall have the right in its sole discretion to edit, refuse to post or remove any material submitted to or posted on BAI Web pages or through its services. Without limiting the foregoing, BAI shall have the right to remove any material that BAI in its sole discretion finds to be in violation of the provisions hereof or otherwise objectionable, subject to agreements between BAI and other content-providers.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, gross negligence or recklessness, shall BAI be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the Materials including Software, or resulting from the alteration or deletion of any posted messages, even if BAI or a BAI authorized representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This disclaimer of liability applies to any damages or injury caused by any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus, communication line failure, or other problem or reason, whether for breach of contract, tortious behavior, negligence, or under any other cause of action. Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In such states, the liability of BAI is limited to the greatest extent permitted by such state law. In no event shall BAI's total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action whether in contract, tort (including, but not limited to, negligence, gross negligence or recklessness) or otherwise exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing the BAI Web site.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold BAI, its officers, directors, owners, agents and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorney fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the BAI Web site, the Materials including Software, the violation of these Terms of Use by you, or the infringement by you, or other user of the site using your computer, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity. BAI reserves the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of (but not the liability for) any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. You will be liable to BAI for BAI's reasonable attorney fees in such case.

BAI makes no representation whatsoever regarding the content of any other web sites, which may access from the BAI Website. BAI is not responsible for the accuracy or availability of non-BAI websites and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. BAI shall not be liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on non-BAI websites or resources. All concerns regarding any external link should be directed to its respective site administrator or webmaster.
