When you register, you must use your first and last name as your user name and ID or your account will be deleted. Business members may use their business name.

You agree, through your use of this AEF forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually-oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of ANY law. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless you own the copyright or you have consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements/solicitations outside of their appropriate location,chain letters, and pyramid schemes are also inappropriate to this AEF forum.

DISCLAIMER: Note that it is impossible for us to confirm the validity of posts on this AEF forum. Please remember that although we actively monitor the posted messages and do our best to ensure that all posted text is appropriate, it is still up to the user to act responsibly and report any posts that require intervention. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented. The messages express the views of the author, not the views of AEF or this forum.

Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify the AEF office immediately. We have the right to remove objectionable content if we determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately. This policy applies to member profile information as well.

You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless this forum, and any related websites to this forum. We at this AEF forum also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or any information we have about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any information posted by you.

With this user account you are about to register, you agree to never give your password to another member, for your protection and for validity reasons. You agree to not choose a simple name or a dictionary word for your password and you agree to protect your password within reasonable effort. You also agree to NEVER use another member's account to post messages or browse this forum.

After you register and log into this AEF forum, you can fill out a detailed profile. It is your responsibility to present clean and accurate information. Any information we deem inaccurate or vulgar will be removed.

Please note that with each post, your IP address is recorded, in the event that you need to be banned from this AEF forum and/or your ISP contacted. This will only happen in the event of a major violation of this agreement.

Please note that AEF staff does not, at any time have access to the users private messages, so if you feel that you are being harassed, it is your responsibility to report this action, so that we may act accordingly. Please also note that all users have the ability through their profile user panel to block any and all fellow users from messaging them, as well, you have the capability of disallowing other users to email you. AEF is not responsible for the content of the messages sent or received privately; they are the sole responsibility of the user.
