UNSOLICITED COMMERCIAL ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS (SPAM)

ACAC does not send “spam” (unsolicited commercial electronic communications in the form of e-mail, text, SMS/instant message) to our Members or customers, and we prohibit our Members from using spam to market and sell our products or recruit other Members.    As such, we require our Members to comply with the following rules when using electronic communications to market and promote the ACAC service, opportunity and our products:

  1. You may send commercial electronic communications ONLY to (a) recipients with whom you have an existing business, family, or personal relationship; or (b) business referrals, but only if you have a business, family or personal relationship with the person making the referral and the person making the referral has a business, family or personal relationship with the person being referred to you.
  2. Any commercial electronic communication you send must include: (a) a clear and accurate subject header, (b) accurate sender contact details (name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address), (c) in the case of a referral, the name of the person who provided you with the referral, and (d) a functional “opt-out” or unsubscribe feature.

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE / CONSENT TO CONTRACT ELECTRONICALLY

ACAC requires your consent to enter into an electronic agreement with ACAC before you complete your online membership enrollment.

 Please note if you complete the online Member Application and Agreement, you DO NOT need to complete and submit a paper application to become an ACAC Member. The entire agreement between you and ACAC, with respect to your application to become an ACAC Member, will be evidenced by an electronic record of the application process. This electronic record serves as your acknowledgment that you consent to use an electronic record of your agreement with ACAC instead of a paper contract and that you have read and agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions of the Member Application and Agreement, ACAC’s Policies and Procedures,, which documents form the basis of your entire Member Agreement with ACAC.

 

To access the documents that make up the entire Member Agreement and submit your online Member Application and Agreement, you will need the following hardware and software: a personal computer ("PC") with modem or other Internet access device, operational Internet browser software ( e.g., Safari or Internet Explorer), and Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you may download it for free at  https://www.adobe.com/acrobat.html

Should there ever be a change in the equipment or software necessary to access the terms of the Member Agreement, ACAC will advise you of the same and will provide you with a list of the equipment and software necessary.

You may withdraw your consent to the use of electronic records at any time. However, if you do so, your Member Agreement may be automatically terminated and you will lose all rights of the ACAC Member Benefits. Should you wish to withdraw your consent to the exclusive use of an electronic agreement (and thereby terminate your Member Agreement with ACAC) you may do so at any time and for any reason by providing written notice to ACAC indicating your intent to discontinue your Membership. The written notice must include your signature, printed name, address, and ACAC’s identification/Member number.

During the online enrollment process, you must read all the documents that form the Member Agreement (which includes the Terms and Conditions of the Member Application and Agreement, ACAC’s Policies & Procedures and the ACAC Member Benefits) in their entirety. ACAC encourages you to print and retain these documents for future reference. Should you wish to obtain a printed copy of the Terms and Conditions of the Member Application and Agreement, the Policies & Procedures, and/or the Member Benefits, contact Member or Customer Service. Your request must include your name, your ACAC identification number, your mailing address, and your e-mail address. Upon receipt of such a request, ACAC will mail you the then current version of each document. There is no charge for this service.

ADDITIONAL OPT-IN LANGUAGE FOR ONLINE ENROLLMENT AND WEBSITE TERMS & CONDITIONS

By completing the online membership enrollment process, you (i) agree and consent to contract electronically with ACAC to become an ACAC Member, and (ii) acknowledge that you are entering into a legal agreement and you intend to be legally bound by this electronic agreement. You may decline to complete the online enrollment process in which case the process of electronically completing your Member Application and Agreement and executing the same will be terminated.
