Latino Professional Network Terms & Conditions

The Latino Professional Network (LPN) is an organization dedicated to linking Latino professionals with other Latino professionals and employers who value diversity in the workforce.

The following Terms and Conditions are based on our principles of helping you expand your business networks by reaching out to the professional Latino community. These Terms govern our relationship with users and by using or accessing LPN, you agree to this statement.

LPN is based on the importance of creating strong business relationships and enhancing professional opportunities that can be obtained by networking.
Because of this, the information you share through our website must abide to LPN’s objective and contribute to the service for your fellow users.
We reserve the right to delete any contents that violate or are not committed to maintaining this a professional networking website through which business relations can be established.

Your privacy is very important to us.

User Control and Privacy

You own all of the content and information you post on our website, and can control how it is shared through your privacy and applications settings.

  • For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos ("IP content"), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with LPN ("IP License"). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
  • When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
  • When you publish content or information using the "everyone" setting, it means that everyone, including people off of LPN, will have access to that information and we may not have control over what they do with it.

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIS STATEMENT OR LPN WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS. APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH CASES, LPN'S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
