Warranty:

• All manufacturers warranties apply to the first retail purchaser for all merchandise.
• Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty may last and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so that any limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
• All manufacturer’s warranties are included with merchandise when shipped.
• Disclosures required by law, in connection with any warranty as to any product, are provided by the manufacturer on the product or as an enclosure (e.g., warranty card) with the package when it is shipped. NEMA is not a manufacturer and does not provide any independent or supplemental warranty. However, NEMA does provide a full-credit refund policy.

Web Page (File) Security:

• All web documents and transactional information for the National Emergency Medicine Association are maintained under standard Unix file security. This is a multi-level access control methodology with different access capabilities accorded to ownership of a file.
• NEMA web pages are secured such that they may be read, but not modified, by the web server itself. This access is necessary for the web server to function.
• Modification rights are accorded only to programming staff at DoubleClick’d Publications.
• All transaction type web pages (materials, orders, contributions) are maintained and processed on a secure web server using the SSL data transmission protocol. Contribution information is retained on the server only as long as necessary for operational transfer to the fulfillment organization and operational recovery purposes.
• An administrative override password does exist which is known only to Business Net staff.

Hacking Protection:

• The web server upon which the NEMA site operates is secured against hacking at industry standard levels.
• Software patches provided by vendors in response to identified security exposures are applied as they become available.
• Administrative passwords and supervisory passwords are changed on a regular basis and are known only by necessary personnel.
• Network ports for services not in use on the server are disabled. System logging services record (among others) file transfers in and out, file deletion and file creation indicating the user ID, file name and time of the occurrence.
• Invalid supervisory password attempts are recorded with the time of the attempt and the network source address from which the attempt was made. Any such attempt is also logged on the main Business Net system log.
