Your misuse of the Trademarks displayed on the Site is strictly prohibited. We will enforce our Trademark rights to the fullest extent of the law.
(a) You may browse the Site without registering, but you understand that some features of the Site may not be accessible to you unless you register. In registering for the Site, you agree to: (1) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Site's registration form (the "Registration Data"); and (2) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.

If Anthology has reason to suspect that you are not in compliance with any of the foregoing, it may suspend or terminate your account and deny you access to the Site.
Anthology confers verified accounts to let users know that the verified account holder has submitted information requested by Anthology for authentication purposes, and that Anthology has reviewed and confirmed the identity appears to be authentic. However, Anthology cannot and does not guarantee that any account holder, whether verified or unverified, is the person or organization they purport to be.
Anthology plays no role in determining the value or veracity of a badge or the requirements that underlie it, and Anthology does not endorse or vouch for the qualifications of any Issuer or Earner.
You agree and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for determining the value and veracity of each badge and the qualification of each Issuer and Earner. You also accept that the organization retains the right to revoke a badge for reasons it deems defensible. Anthology in no way is responsible for exploring or validating the causes an issuer uses for revocation of an asserted badge. It is your sole responsibility to seek remedy in such cases if you believe you have cause.
You warrant and agree that you shall not: (a) impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any other person or entity; (b) upload, post, publish, transmit, reproduce, distribute or in any way exploit any information or other material obtained through the Site for commercial purposes (other than as expressly permitted by the provider of such information or other material); or (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to other computer systems through the Site. You may not: (i) engage in spidering, “screen scraping,” “database scraping,” harvesting of e-mail addresses, wireless addresses or other contact or personal information, or any other automatic means of obtaining lists of users or other information from or through the Site or the services offered on or through the Site, including without limitation any information residing on any server or database connected to the Site or the services offered on or through the Site; (ii) use the Site or the services made available on or through the Site in any manner with the intent to interrupt, damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Site or such services, including, without limitation, sending mass unsolicited messages or “flooding” servers with requests; or (iii) use the Site or the Site’s services in violation of any applicable law.

You agree that you will not use the Site in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Site or interfere with any other party’s use and enjoyment of the Site.
We may make messaging service, chat service, bulletin board, other forums and the like available on the Site. In addition to any other rules or regulations that we may post in connection with a messaging service, chat service, bulletin board or other forum on the Site or offered through a service on the Site, you agree that you shall not upload, post, transmit, distribute or otherwise publish through the Site or any service offered on or through the Site, any materials which (i) restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Site or the Site’s services, (ii) are fraudulent, unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, offensive, pornographic, profane, sexually explicit or indecent, (iii) constitute or encourage conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any local, state, national or international law, (iv) violate, plagiarize or infringe the rights of third parties including, without limitation, copyright, trademark, trade secret, confidentiality, contract, patent, rights of privacy or publicity or any other proprietary right, (v) contain a virus, spyware, or other harmful component, (vi) contain advertising, chain letters or pyramid schemes of any kind, or (vii) constitute or contain false or misleading indications of origin, endorsement or statements of fact.

You further agree not to impersonate any other person or entity, whether actual or fictitious, including anyone from the Site or Anthology. Anthology reserves the right, but does not have an obligation, to monitor and/or review all materials posted to the Site or through the Site’s services by users, and Anthology is not responsible for any such materials posted by users. However, Anthology reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or government request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, that in Anthology’s sole discretion are objectionable or in violation of these Terms of Use, Anthology’s policies or applicable law.
You agree that if you include a link from any other web site to the Site, such link shall open in a new browser window. You agree not to link from any other web site to this Site in any manner such that the Site, or any page of the Site, is “framed,” surrounded or obfuscated by any third party content, materials or branding. We reserve the right to revoke your right to link to the Site from your web site at any time upon written notice to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Anthology, its subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising in any way from your use of the Site, your placement or transmission of any message, content, information, software or other materials through the Site, or your breach or violation of the law or of these Terms of Use. Anthology reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with the Anthology’s defense of such claim.
We may make certain products available to visitors and registrants of the Site. You may only order products if, and you hereby represent and warrant that, you are domiciled in the United States or a designated territory to which we conduct product deliveries and you are 18 years old or older. You agree to pay in full the prices for any purchases you make either by credit/debit card concurrent with your online order or by other payment means acceptable to the Anthology. You agree to pay all applicable taxes. If payment is not received by us from your credit or debit card issuer or its agents, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by us. You agree that you are not permitted to resell any products purchased through this Site for commercial purposes.
Among other things, Anthology provides information concerning various products and services and the opportunity to obtain additional information concerning those products and services or to purchase them. These Terms of Use and the information provided by Anthology in no way override the terms and conditions of your purchase of any product or service except as specifically provided herein. To the extent any area within the Site contains specific terms and conditions concerning its use (“Specific Terms”), those Specific Terms are in addition to these Terms of Use. To the extent there is a direct conflict between these Terms of Use and the Specific Terms, the Specific Terms shall prevail.
All prices displayed on the Site are quoted in U.S. dollars. Anthology may restrict delivery to addresses within the United States and Canada. Anthology will add shipping and handling fees and applicable sales/use tax as necessary. Anthology reserves the right without prior notice to discontinue or change specifications and prices on products and services offered on the Site without incurring any obligation to you. Products displayed on the Site are available while supplies last. The receipt by you of an order confirmation does not constitute the Anthology’s acceptance of an order. Prior to the Anthology’s acceptance of an order, verification of information may be required. Anthology reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order, or any portion thereof, even after your receipt of an order confirmation from the Anthology, for any reason. Anthology reserves the right to limit the order quantity on any item and to refuse service to any customer without prior notification. In the event that a product or service is listed at an incorrect price due to supplier pricing information or typographical error, Anthology shall have the right to refuse or cancel orders placed for the product listed at the incorrect price, regardless of whether the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, Anthology shall promptly issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the incorrect price.
You may be able to link from the Site to third party web sites (“Linked Sites”). You acknowledge and agree that we have no responsibility for the information, content, products, services, advertising, code or other materials, which may or may not be provided by or through Linked Sites. Links to Linked Sites do not constitute an endorsement by us of such web sites or the information, content, products, services, advertising, code or other materials presented on or through such web sites.
Anthology disclaims any liability for links (1) from another web site to this Site and (2) to another web site from this Site. Anthology cannot guarantee the standards of any web site to which links are provided on this Site nor shall Anthology be held responsible for the contents of such non-Anthology sites, or any subsequent links. For this reason, Anthology does not represent or warrant that the contents of any third party web site is accurate, compliant with state or federal law, or compliant with copyright or other intellectual property laws. Also, Anthology is not responsible for web casting or any other form of transmission received from any linked web site. Any reliance on the contents of a third party web site is done at your own risk and you assume all responsibilities and consequences resulting from such reliance.
Anthology makes no warranties or representations whatsoever with respect to the site or any linked site or its content, including the content, information and materials on it or the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the content, information and materials. Anthology also does not warrant or represent that your access to or use of the site or any linked site will be uninterrupted or free of errors or omissions, that defects will be corrected, or that Anthology or any linked site is free of computer viruses or other harmful components. Without limiting the foregoing, all content and materials on this site are provided to users “as is,” with no warranty of any kind, either express or implied, to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, security, accuracy, course of dealing, course of performance or usage of trade. The “as is” condition of content is expressly made a condition of any transaction arising through or as a result of the site. Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. Check your local laws for any restrictions or limitations regarding the exclusion of implied warranties.
Under no circumstances shall Anthology, its subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, members, managers, employees or agents, its suppliers or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents be liable to you or to any third party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits and business interruption, whether in contract or in tort, including negligence, arising in any way from any product or service sold or provided on the site, even if Anthology is expressly advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall Anthology’s liability exceed the price you paid for the product or service that is the subject of the claim.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Anthology, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors and suppliers from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any violation of these terms and conditions or any activity related to your use of this site (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing this site using your computer or Internet account.
We control and operate the Site from our offices in the United States of America. We do not represent that materials on the Site are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Persons who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. All parties to these terms and conditions waive their respective rights to a trial by jury.
We may terminate, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Site or the Site’s services at any time. Anthology may restrict, suspend or terminate your access to the Site and/or its services with or without cause.
The Terms of Use and the relationship between you and us shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any cause of action that may arise under these Terms of Use shall be commenced and be heard in the appropriate court in the State of New York, County of New York. You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within New York County in the State of New York. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect without cause.
