Even though we make an attempt to provide links as a courtesy to our site visitors, verifying accuracy of information obtained from this web site is the sole responsibility of user. Double-check entries listed (to verify members licenses, memberships and certifications, as well as the accuracy of information provided) and take necessary action by contacting the relevant licensing boards or committee. Access Referral Network, Inc. provides information on this site as a service to the public. Access Referral Network, Inc., it entities, owners or those contributing to site make no warranty or guarantee concerning the reliability of the content of site or the content of other Web sites to which this site may link.
Access Referral Network, Inc., its Owners, affiliates, advertisers, contributors, sponsors, or members are not liable to any person, group or other entity for his/her/their reliance on information contained herein. By using site, all (consumers, professionals, groups, private/public entities and any/all others) agree to hold harmless Access Referral Network, Inc. its owners, partners, sponsors, or any/all related to or connected to use or information on the site.
If we find a member or advertiser has provided inaccurate information, they will be asked to correct information or be removed from the site. There are no refunds, nor recourse, for those removed from the site who provide inaccurate information, obscene or hate-related information, and refuse to correct such. Information found on site does not constitute a primary issuing source for the purpose of credentials verification. That source is the actual state licensing board. This site provides resources to help you access that information more easily. If for some reason, inaccurate licensing board information is missing or links are broken, please contact us if you are unable to access needed information and we will certainly attempt to help you find licensing board information to the best of our ability.
Information Members May Add: We will remove any member's page who uses obscene, indecent or threatening verbage on their page. We limit the number of characters you may use on each of your web-page sections to 3750 characters, because consumers need concise information to help make the best decision, while also saving them unnecessarily wasted time. Our research has shown that consumers want concise information, but also prefer something they can read quickly (brief paragraphs, bullet points, etc.). In keeping with the professional look and feel of our site, we have programmed many page areas to keep 'page scrolling' to a minimum so that information is easy to read for the visitor. If, as a member, you see you have specific information where an appropriate section is not available to list that information, including submission of articles or purchase of a 'slot', please contact us.
Content of site is subject to change without notice. If you find inaccurate information, please contact us immediately for review.
Refund, Dues, Membership Policy:
As memberships provide immediate access to the ‘members-only' sections of web-site, as well as automatic posting of professional information to consumers, and as such access information is impossible to "return," memberships are not refundable.
If a member wishes to discontinue registration & display their professional information as a member, they may contact us, in writing, 7 days prior to their next automated credit card billing cycle, or click on their member dashboard "unsubscribe" button for discontinuation of services. The 'unsubscribe' link does not erase the information, only deactivates billing and display of information to the public. An unsubscribe link can be reactivated at a future date. This is especially beneficial for members who are moving their offices and need a temporary discontinuation of services, but enjoy the added benefit that they will not have to re-enter all their information a second time. (See detailed information below).
If your credit card has expired, you will receive an email notice. Your web-page will be removed from viewing (still accessible from your member panel, but not viewable by public) until your credit card information has been updated. At that time, your web-page will reappear publically.
In unusual or extenuating circumstances (such as death), requests for refunds are reviewed individually, and if refunds are made, they are subject to a $25 administrative fee. In these cases, for Monthly memberships: Refunds will not be made for more than the actual cost of a 1 month membership or if payment has been made for Yearly Memberships, refunds will only be made on a prorated basis (i.e. if member has listed info for ½ year, they will receive a maximum refund for remaining ½ year, minus $25 admin fee.)
Members are not authorized to allow site access information to anyone (other than spouse or partner working on the registrant's page). Members are not allowed to register their information and then later ‘switch' and allow a different registrant to continue the balance of their membership. If such is done, member understands their membership will become null and void, and they will not be entitled to any refunds for any remaining membership period.
Those who register on our site, agree to "opt-in" to receive a free newsletter. Members receive periodic newsletters. Newsletters for members provide marketing information, introduces members of the site for networking, and introduces select affiliate partners/programs offering special programs or discounted products to members. If a free member unsubscribes from the newsletter, it is with the understanding that their free membership will also be removed.
When joining, member receives automated email(s) welcoming them to site. They also receive automated emails each time their page is viewed. Members will not receive identifying information about those visiting their page, nor will emails or identifying information be collected, sold, shared or distributed to any member. Site visitors do not have to disclose identifying information, nor will we collect such to send future information to visitors (unless they request such through newsletter registration, or if they want to contact a professional and share their information in that request).
Consumers have ability to request appointments from members. If consumer requests such, he/she will be required to submit email and contact information. If consumer does not wish to provide this information, they simply contact the professional directly via telephone. Email requests for appointments are sent to our site & then forwarded to member. (Members emails are not displayed. Listing of emails remains the choice of each member & they indicate if public posting of email is to be included).
Due to our member only internal instant message system, any member reported as spamming another member will be reviewed and/or removed from the site with no recourse or refund on membership. Any member who is contacted via their web-page's 'Contact us' link, and invited to join other membership sites or make purchases should report the group/person contacting them to our administration immediately. We value your privacy and the Contact Us member page link is to allow prospective consumers to contact a professional directly.
You may contact us in 2 ways:
Send an email, (see "about us" or ‘contact us' page) with follow-up telephone confirmation to insure email is received. (Emails are not 100% reliable, so it is member's responsibility to follow-up).
Or member may send written notice, via regular mail, to Access Referral Network, 15303 Huebner Rd #10. San Antonio, TX 78248. Notification MUST be received in our offices at least 7 days prior to membership renewal in order to discontinue membership of that billing cycle.
