Home pageOnline Transactions Terms & Conditions
Certain transactions with The PPDM Association (the Association) can be done online through the Association’s website. All such transactions are subject to these terms and conditions as well. The Association may vary these terms and conditions from time to time without notification and it is your responsibility to ensure you are familiar with them.
1. Use of Online Transactions
The Association makes online transactions available for your personal and/or internal business purposes. You may use information provided to you through your online transactions solely for your personal and/or internal business purposes, provided that you do not remove any proprietary rights notices, do not modify the information and do not make any additional representations or warranties regarding the information.
2. Information and Privacy
You hereby authorize the Association to receive and collect information about you (including information about your online transactions) from time to time through the Association website. Any such information collected will be treated in accordance with the Association's Privacy Statement. The Association may only disclose information about you (including your identity) to a third party if the Association is requested to do so in the course of a criminal or other legal investigation, if you have authorized such disclosure, or if the Association determines that disclosure is necessary in connection with any complaint regarding your use of the site. For further information on your privacy rights please view the Association's Privacy Statement.
3. Accounts
Certain online transactions offered by the Association may require a login ID and password for verification of your identity. You agree that all information provided to the Association by you in relation to your account shall be current, complete and accurate. Your use of an Association account is subject to these terms and conditions as well as the Association's Website Terms and Conditions.
4. Password Security
If you are required to select a password, the Association recommends the password you select should not relate to any readily accessible data such as your name, birth date, address, telephone number, driver's license, license plate or passport. Nor may it be an obvious combination of letters and numbers, including sequential or same numbers or letters. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the security of your login ID and password, and for all activity which occurs on or through your account, whether authorized or unauthorized, including use by current and former employees if you are a corporate entity. You should change your password immediately if you believe that your login ID and password have been used without authorization and advise the Association of this. The Association shall not have any liability for your failure to comply with these obligations.
5. Security
Online transactions are provided through a secure website. However, you acknowledge and agree that internet transmissions are never entirely secure or private, and that any message or information you send to or through the Association website and while using online transactions (including credit card information) may be read or intercepted by others, even where a website is stated as being secure. The Association shall have no liability for the interception or 'hacking' of any data through the Association website or any other website by unauthorized third parties.

In using any Association online transactions, you represent and warrant that you are over 18 and are authorized to undertake this transaction.
