Section 1.    INTRODUCTION
The National Employment Lawyers Association's ("NELA") Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is intended to protect the proprietary interests of NELA and the intellectual property rights of the authors of NELA's 2015 Annual Convention E-Manual. It is in this spirit that NELA sets forth the following terms and conditions governing the acceptable use of NELA's 2015 Annual Convention E-Manual (the "E-Manual"). The AUP is a non-exclusive list of the actions prohibited by NELA, and thus NELA reserves the right to modify the AUP at any time to protect its interest and that of the E-Manual authors. By using this site, each user agrees to comply with this AUP policy and other applicable NELA policies, as well as any relevant state and federal laws and regulations. Violation of this AUP may result in the suspension or termination of your access to the E-Manual.
