Terms and Conditions

Precision Metalforming Association, PMA Services, Inc., and PMA Educational Association provide websites and services subject to the rules published below. These may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can’t read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of PMA’s websites use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of PMA information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. PMA does not correlate this information with data about individual users, nor does it share this information or sell it to any third party.

If you prefer not to receive cookies on PMA sites, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser.

All commercial areas of this site, including the Metalforming Marketplace, require the use of cookies. If you turn off the acceptance of cookies in your browser, you will not be able to purchase items online.

The materials and services on this site are protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property laws and any unauthorized use of the materials or services at this site may violate such laws. Except as expressly provided herein, PMA and its suppliers do not grant any express or implied right to you under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information with respect to the materials and services.

Except as specifically permitted herein, no portion of the information or documents on this site may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior written permission of PMA.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This site (excluding linked sites) is controlled by PMA from its offices within the state of Ohio, United States of America. By accessing this site, you and PMA agree that all matters relating to your access to, or use of, this site shall be governed by the statutes and laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to the conflicts of law’s principles thereof. PMA makes no representation that materials on this site are appropriate or available for use in other locations, and accessing them from territories where their contents are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access this site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold PMA, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of content you submit, post to or transmit through this site, your use of this site, your connection to this site, your violation of the rules, or your violation of any rights of another person or entity.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PMA, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers and any third party information providers to this site from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any violation of these rules (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you or any other person accessing this site.

Limitation of Liability

You expressly understand and agree that PMA shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if PMA has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from:

  • the use or the inability to use the site;
  • the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from the site;
  • unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data;
  • statements or conduct of any third party on the site; or
  • any other matter relating to the site.

 

In no event will PMA be liable for:

  • any incidental, consequential, or indirect damages (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, business interruption, loss of programs or information, and the like) arising out of the use of or inability to use the service, or any information, or transactions provided on the service, or downloaded from the service, or any delay of such information or service. Even if PMA or its authorized representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages, or
  • any claim attributable to errors, omissions, or other inaccuracies in the service and/or materials or information downloaded through the service.

 

Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you. In such states, PMA’s liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
