SUBMISSIONS
We welcome your comments about any of the Sites. However, we will not
review or consider any unsolicited creative submissions or suggestions for
topics on our blogs, podcasts, seminars or within our newsletters or products.
We hope you will understand that this policy is intended to avoid the possibility
of future misunderstandings in the event that ideas developed by our staff
might seem to be similar to the ideas submitted to us. Accordingly, we must
ask that you not send us any original creative ideas, suggestions or materials.
If, despite our request, you send us any idea, suggestion or material
(“Submission”), it shall become our property. We will not be subject to any
obligation of confidence for any Submission, and we will not be liable for any
use or disclosure of any Submission. In the case that you submit something to
us and it is unsolicited, we will exclusively own all rights to the Submission
worldwide, and we will be entitled to the unrestricted use of the Submission for
any purpose, without compensation or notification to the provider of the
Submission. Given this fact, we ask that you refrain from submitting creative
projects to us, particularly those that are confidential or personal to you.
FORUMS
A “forum” means any blog comments, message board, chat room, user review
forum or other interactive learning management service appearing on any of
the Sites and includes both public boards and private forums. You must
register in accordance with instructions that you will find on the Sites in order
to contribute to any forum. You may not post on any forum, or send to any
other forum user or our staff, any material that is abusive, vulgar, threatening,
harassing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, invades a person’s privacy, violates
any intellectual or other property rights, or that would otherwise violate any
law. You may not use any forum in a commercial manner.

goods or services. You may not post material known to be false. You may not
post messages that contain stock touts. You may not post or transmit any

component.
We are not responsible for material appearing in any forum on the Sites,
except for material signed by one of our identified representatives. We are not
responsible for screening material posted by users for libel, obscenity,
invasion of privacy, copyright or trademark infringement, accuracy, or for any
other reason. We retain, however, the right to modify or remove messages or
other material that we, in our sole discretion, consider infringing, offensive,
abusive, defamatory, obscene, snarky, stale, or otherwise unacceptable. We
also reserve the right to edit materials for any other reason.
Whether or not we modify or remove such material, users remain solely
responsible for the content of their messages or postings. By posting on the
Sites, you grant (or warrant that the owner of such rights has expressly
granted) us and/or relevant affiliated companies the worldwide, perpetual,
nonexclusive right to use your questions, comments, and postings, in their
original or edited form, in television programs, books, articles, commentaries,
or in any other medium now known or later developed.
You also warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the

believe is inappropriate.

to us, if any, for accessing the Sites.

(THEIR PRIVACY POLICIES MAY BE DIFFERENT)
The Site contains links to other websites, like our sponsor’s websites or links

HOW AND WHY, WE COLLECT INFORMATION
We collect your information in order to record and support your participation in
the activities you select. If you register for a course, a membership site, or a
free training series, for example, the information is used to enroll you in the
program, to enroll you in our newsletters, to track your preferences, and to
keep you informed about the product and related products. As a visitor to our
Sites, you can engage in many activities without providing any personal
information.
If you opt in to receive any free training series, download a free product,
register for a webinar, seminar, or live event, or purchase any product sold by
us or promoted by us, you will automatically be subscribed to our free
newsletter. If you do not wish to receive this free newsletter, you may opt out
at any time. We include an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every e-mail we
send. If you have any trouble opting out, please send an e-mail to us. We will
manually remove you from our e-mail list(s).
In connection with other activities, such as those described above, we may
ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and
submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these
activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that
you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing
address (including ZIP code), e-mail address, telephone, credit card, and
other personal information. If you do not provide the mandatory data with
respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
In all cases, we will collect personal identification information from you only if
you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will also tell you how we use
your information or if we share it with another party. Except as otherwise
provided in this policy, we will never intentionally disclose any personal
identification information about you as an individual user to any third party
without having received your permission.
If you supply us with your contact information you may receive periodic emails, mailings or calls from us with information on new products and services, important issues, or upcoming events. If you wish to be removed

above. Please provide us with your exact name, e-mail address, mailing
address, and phone. We will be sure your name is removed from the
appropriate lists immediately.
When you use our Sites, we or our authorized technology services provider
may also collect certain technical and routing information from you to facilitate
your use of the Site and its services. We use this information to administer the
Site and to understand and measure traffic patterns on the Site so that we
know which areas of our sites are favorites of our users, which areas need
improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may
continually improve our sites. This information is collected in aggregate form,
without identifying you or any user individually. We may use this aggregate,
non-identifying statistical data for statistical analysis, marketing, or similar
promotional purposes.
This data is often tracked by us, our technology services provider by using
“cookies” during your visit. A cookie is a small amount of data that is transferred
to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave
it to you. It functions as your identification card and enables us to record your
passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or
deliver viruses. 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. (For some web pages that require an
authorization, cookies are not optional. Users choosing not to accept cookies
will probably not be able to access those pages.)
EXCEPTIONS TO PRIVACY POLICY
While we are committed to keeping your information secure and private, we
have the following exceptions to our privacy policy: We will release specific
information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or
process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will
also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an
attempted breach of the security of the Sites, or a physical or property threat
to you or others. We may also transfer user information, including personally
identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation,
the sale of related assets or corporate division or other fundamental corporate
change.
Further, the information you enter when making a purchase or an online
donation will be shared with payment processors, financial gateways, and
your credit card company to authorize credit card payments. Such information
may also be shared with necessary third parties solely for the purpose or
carrying out the transactions. Please note that if you give out personal
information online through a discussion board or posting site, that information
can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our
users’ privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post in
these forums. You disclose such information at your own risk.

terms will be subject to mediation in the Illinois. If any of these terms of use
