Links to External Web Sites
As a convenience to our visitors, the KSBA Web Site has links to external Web sites that are owned and operated by third parties. KSBA
makes no representation whatsoever regarding the content of any other
Web sites that you may access from this site. When linking to an
external site, please understand that it is independent from KSBA.org, and we have no control over the content on that Web site. A link to a non-KSBA Web site does not mean that we endorse or accept any responsibility for its content or use. KSBA
does not guarantee the availability or accuracy of content on any site
linking to our Web site. It is the user’s responsibility to check each
site for its own privacy statement and terms and conditions of use.
Availability
KSBA’s goal is for continuous access, 24 hours per day, to our Web
site. However, there may be times when the site is unavailable due to
routine maintenance. Maintenance times are selected after identifying
peak usage times to avoid the site being down during those periods.
Limitations of Liability
KSBA does not guarantee that service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Content is provided on an ‘as is,’ as-available basis. KSBA does not guarantee that any file available for downloading is free of viruses or similar contamination or destructive features.
IP Addresses
We collect IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer) to
track use—individual users remain anonymous (except when logged into the
KSBA Portal). We analyze this data for trends
and statistics about page viewing frequency and sequence to improve our
site and the services we offer. We do not link your IP address to
anything personally identifiable. Nevertheless, you should know that, if
necessary, an IP address, including yours, can and will be used to
identify anyone responsible for threatening the integrity or security of
the site or our computer systems and information networks.
