Terms of Use
We encourage your use of the HFTP online membership directory for professional networking purposes with HFTP members for guidance and insight on best practices and experiences in the hospitality sector. However, you are not permitted to use the HFTP name, or the name of an HFTP meeting, program, product, or service, in your communications with directory organizations in a way that implies HFTP participates in, or approves of, the communication, or that implies HFTP’s endorsement or sponsorship of the content of your communications, without prior HFTP approval in writing.
The directory may not be used to sell or market a business, product, or service; to solicit contributions, sponsorships, or business opportunities; or for any unlawful use. The contents of the directory may not be used to generate mailing lists, e-mail lists, phone lists, or other lists for any commercial purposes.
You agree not to solicit the members unless your solicitation is a direct result of having obtained the members’ contact information from another source in the ordinary course of your business. You agree not to release or sell the directory or its contents to any third parties.
HFTP reserves the right to change the contents, format, or access of this directory or to discontinue it at any time, as well as the right to deny access to the directory to any person or organization HFTP has reasonable grounds to believe may be using the directory for an unlawful or unauthorized purpose. Should you later object to the Terms of Use or subsequent modifications, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue your use of the directory. Your continued use of the directory after any change constitutes acceptance of the change.
The contents of the directory are owned by and are the exclusive property of HFTP. Unauthorized use of the directory is prohibited and can subject you to damages plus attorney's fees. You acquire only a right to use the directory as authorized herein, and not any right of ownership in the directory.
By accessing the directory, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.
