Viruses

Because of the marked increase in the fabrication and proliferation of computer viruses affecting the Internet, we want to warn you about infections or viral contamination on your system. It is your responsibility to scan any and all downloaded materials received from the Internet. ISM is not responsible or liable for any damage caused by such hazards.

Security

Information submitted into secured regions of our Website is protected by ISM using three layers of security:

• Users are required to login using a unique user ID and password.
• A firewall (a combination of computer hardware and software) keeps unauthorized users from accessing information within ISM’s computer network.
• Encryption technology is used to secure data when it’s being transferred from one computer to another.

However, all other information submitted to ISM while not logged into secured regions of this Website including electronic mail inquiries, is submitted through the Internet, which is an unsecured, public network.

Although ISM employs the most current and stringent Internet security standards, you acknowledge and confirm that the Internet is not a secure medium where privacy can be ensured, and that complete security and confidentiality over the Internet is not possible at this time. Your confidential use of the Website cannot be guaranteed and you acknowledge that your use of the Website (including information you transmit to the Website) may be subject to access by, or disclosure to, other persons. Without limiting any other disclaimer herein, ISM shall not be responsible or liable for any harm that you or any other person may suffer in connection with any such breach of confidentiality or security.

ISM does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in these other sites nor does it assume any liability for the content or presentation of linked sites.

ISM cannot guarantee that the hyperlinks set out on our Website will be accurate at the time of your access. Moreover, the sites pointed at by hyperlinks have been independently developed and possibly maintained by person(s) over whom ISM has no control. ISM cannot and does not monitor the sites linked to its pages on the Internet or any transmission made through the respective web pages and news groups. Accordingly, ISM assumes no responsibility for the content of any site referenced to by any hyperlink or otherwise. ISM believes that our making available hyperlinks to publicly accessible web pages is legally permissible and consistent with the common, customary expectations of those who make use of the Internet.
