CONFIDENTIALITY AND COMPETITIVE GUIDELINES

When posting Content or otherwise using the Website you should assume that neither your identity or any Content you make or make available are confidential or anonymous. You should always identify yourself and your affiliation when posting Content with other users and to the Website. IAB’s discussion and bulletin boards, forums, chat and messaging capabilities and the Website resources, features, functions and capabilities are not designed, nor intended to protect the confidentiality of any postings. As an industry association, IAB’s members may also be competitors with one another and in addition to referring to the guidelines below, IAB cautions you against posting anything which you or your employer or a third party may consider confidential, sensitive or proprietary because you should assume it will be available to other users on the Website and generally become publicly available.

IAB has no obligation, nor does IAB verify, review for accuracy, completeness or otherwise, any Content. IAB also has no obligation to monitor or continue to monitor your use of the Website or your Content, but IAB reserves the right to do so and to confirm and request confirmation of any information you submit to us or on the Website, at any time for any reason or no reason at all. Postings and Content are not in any way endorsed by IAB, nor does IAB screen postings and Content.
IAB members and other users of the Website may not collaborate on matters concerning the operation and conduct of their business, including discussions relating to prices, customers, credit terms, product development and distribution efforts.

  • Products or services you will or will not or may or may not make available or offer.

While IAB cannot give you legal advice and you are ultimately responsible for obtaining proper legal advice and guidance from your or your company’s legal advisor and representatives, IAB has generally found users are permitted to discuss and be involved in discussions relating to standards-setting within the industry, general opinions and views regarding the industry and the marketplace and even how other industry participants may be affected by the presence or absence of a particular standard, so long as you do not discuss any of the prohibited topics noted above or violate any guidelines your own legal advisors may provide to you. The general rule is there should not be discussions on topics that could be construed to impose a restraint on trade or inhibit free and fair competition.
