Terms of Service
Last Updated: January 2005

 

Welcome to Nebbinstitute.org! We have developed these Terms of Service to govern your use of Nebbinstitute.org. Your use of our site tells us you have read and agreed to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. Please read both these documents carefully. If you do not agree with any of these terms, please exit Nebbinstitute.org. Nebbinstitute.org reserves the right to terminate Membership and deny access to the site to any person who violates this Terms of Service.

Copyright. All information, content, services and software displayed on, transmitted through, or used in connection with Nebbinstitute.org, including for example news articles, reviews, directories, guides, text, photographs, images, illustrations, audio clips, video, html, source and object code, trademarks, logos, and the like (collectively, the "Content"), as well as its selection and arrangement, is owned by NEBB National Equipment & Business Brokers Institute ("NEBB"), and its affiliated companies, licensors and suppliers. You may use the Content online only, and solely for your personal, non-commercial use, and you may download or print a single copy of any portion of the Content solely for your personal, non-commercial use, provided you do not remove any trademark, copyright or other notice from such Content. If you operate a Web site and wish to link to Nebbinstitute.org, you may do so provided you agree to cease such link upon request from Nebbinstitute.org. No other use is permitted without prior written permission of Nebbinstitute.org. The permitted use described in this Paragraph is contingent on your compliance at all times with these Terms of Service.

You may not, for example, republish any portion of the Content on any Internet, Intranet or extranet site or incorporate the Content in any database, compilation, archive or cache. You may not distribute any Content to others, whether or not for payment or other consideration, and you may not modify, copy, frame, cache, reproduce, sell, publish, transmit, display or otherwise use any portion of the Content. You may not scrape or otherwise copy our Content without permission. You agree not to decompile, reverse engineer or disassemble any software or other products or processes accessible through Nebbinstitute.org, not to insert any code or product or manipulate the content of Nebbinstitute.org in any way that affects the user's experience, and not to use any data mining, data gathering or extraction method.

Requests to use Content for any purpose other than as permitted in these Terms of Service should be directed to National Equipment & Business Brokers Institute at (866) 632-2467. In certain cases, you may be able to obtain a license to use individual stories that appear on Nebbinstitute.org through online functionality we have specifically designated (e.g., to e-mail a story to a friend or to purchase the rights to reproduce a story for other use). In such cases, we will tell you directly in the portion of the Content you may license or you will see a link in the Content itself. If you do not see such authorization or link, you should assume no third party has the right to allow you to use the Content.

Copyright Complaints. Nebbinstitute.org respects the intellectual property of others. If you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement or are aware of any infringing material on Nebbinstitute.org, please contact us at the address listed below under the heading "Contact Us."

Membership and Registration. If you become a Member of Nebbinstitute.org, you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password, and agree not to sell, transfer or assign your Membership or any Membership rights. We reserve the right to terminate your Membership if individuals from more than one household access Nebbinstitute.org using any single user name or password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for restricting access to your computer so others outside your household may not access Nebbinstitute.org using your name in whole or in part without our permission. If you believe someone has accessed Nebbinstitute.org using your user name and password without your authorization, e-mail us immediately at the address listed below.

User-Provided Information and Content. By providing information to, communicating with, and/or placing material on, Nebbinstitute.org, including for example communication during registration, communication on any Nebbinstitute.org bulletin board, message or chat area, posting any resume or other content, placing any classified advertisement, entering any sweepstakes, etc., you represent and warrant: (1) you own or otherwise have all necessary rights to the content you provide and the rights to use it as provided in this Terms of Service; (2) all information you provide is true, accurate, current and complete, and does not violate these Terms of Service; and, (3) the content will not cause injury to any person or entity. Using a name other than your own legal name is prohibited (except in those specific areas of Nebbinstitute.org that specifically ask for unique, fictitious names, e.g., certain message boards and chat rooms).

For all such information and material, you grant NEBB Institute , its affiliates and related entities, including Nebbinstitute.org and its affiliated newspaper, a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, copy, modify, display, archive, store, distribute, reproduce and create derivative works from such information, in any form, media, software or technology of any kind now existing or developed in the future. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, you authorize NEBB Institute to share the information across all National Equipment & Business Brokers Institute Company affiliated Web sites, to include the information in a searchable format accessible by users of Nebbinstitute.org and other NEBB Institute Web sites, and to use your name and any other information in connection with its use of the material you provide. You also grant NEBB Institute the right to use any material, information, ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in any communication you send to us for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing and marketing products using such information. All rights in this paragraph are granted without the need for additional compensation of any sort to you.

Please note Nebbinstitute.org does not accept unsolicited materials or ideas for use or publication, and is not responsible for the similarity of any of its content or programming in any media to materials or ideas transmitted to Nebbinstitute.org. Should you send any unsolicited materials or ideas, you do so with the understanding no additional consideration of any sort will be provided to you, and you are waiving any claim against Nebbinstitute.org and its affiliates regarding the use of such materials and ideas, even if material or an idea is used that is substantially similar to the idea you sent.

Transactions and e-commerce on our site.

During your visit to our site you may elect to engage in a transaction involving the purchase of a product such as a newspaper subscription, a print or online advertisement or other tangible goods and services. To serve you most efficiently, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are often handled by a third party processing agent, bank or distribution institution. While in most cases transactions are completed without difficulty, there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet or offline. If you're concerned about online credit card safety, in most cases a telephone number will be made available so you can call us and place your order by phone. Nebbinstitute.org cannot take responsibility for the success or security of transactions undertaken or processed by third parties.

On occasion, a product or service may not be available at the time or the price as it appears in an advertisement. In such event, or in the event a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error, technology effort, error in the date or length of publication, or error in pricing or product information received from our advertisers or suppliers, you agree Nebbinstitute.org is not responsible for such errors or discrepancies.

Other Specifics About Interactive Areas (Message Boards, Chat Areas, automated posting of classified or other advertising, etc.). Nebbinstitute.org bulletin boards, chat rooms and other such interactive areas are provided to give users an interesting and stimulating forum to express their opinions and share ideas and information. Given the nature of Nebbinstitute.org and the volume of messages and postings, Nebbinstitute.org cannot and does not monitor all of the material posted or transmitted by users and third party information providers. To protect your safety, please use your best judgment when using these forums. We particularly discourage divulging personal phone numbers and addresses or other information that can be used to identify or locate you. If you make such disclosures either through postings on the bulletin boards, chat rooms, in classified advertising you place or in other interactive areas, or to third parties in any communication, you do so fully understanding the consequences of such disclosures and with a knowing consent that such information could be used to identify you. Nebbinstitute.org reserves the right to delete, move or edit any communications at any time, for any reason or in its discretion, but has no obligation to review or remove any such content.

Posting Rules. Interactive areas, discussion boards, chat rooms, etc., are intended to encourage public debate. We expect people to differ - judgment and opinion are subjective things – and we encourage freedom of speech and a marketplace of ideas. But by using these areas of Nebbinstitute.org, you are participating in a community that is intended for all our users. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any content posted on our site at any time for any reason. Decisions as to whether content violates any Posting Rule will be made by Nebbinstitute.org in its discretion after we have actual notice of such posting. Without limiting our right to remove content, we have attempted to provide guidelines to those posting content on our site. When using Nebbinstitute.org, please do not post material that:

  • contains vulgar, profane, abusive, racist or hateful language or expressions, epithets or slurs, text, photographs or illustrations in poor taste, inflammatory attacks of a personal, racial or religious nature.
  • is defamatory, threatening, disparaging, grossly inflammatory, false, misleading, fraudulent, inaccurate, unfair, contains gross exaggeration or unsubstantiated claims, violates the privacy rights of any third party, is unreasonably harmful or offensive to any individual or community.

Will The IRS Allow Your Equipment Values?
02/18/2008

As you are preparing for the tax season, you should know that the IRS may not allow the value of your machinery and equipment. That\'s right. The Pension Protection Act of 2006, mandates that a value must be reported by a Certified Appraiser.

Gone are the days when you can rely on a depreciation schedule, guess, or rely on the word of a non-certified person who may have a hidden agenda. Locate a Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraiser in your area.

Click on the tab Locate A CMEA for easy and quick access. You will be glad that you did.
