The AHS adheres to the highest ethical standards in gathering, using, and safeguarding personal
information submitted via this Web site. The AHS does not rent, sell, or exchange information
submitted via this Web site, and use of such information is restricted to the AHS for marketing
purposes. The AHS may contact you to provide information about AHS activities, programs,
membership, development, and other opportunities, products, and special events that may
interest you. We disclose only in aggregate form our statistical analyses or demographics of

The AHS makes every effort to ensure that all transactions occurring on its Web site will be
secure. When credit card information is submitted via the Internet to the AHS’s site, it is

The AHS is concerned about protecting children’s privacy and does not knowingly collect
personal information from children under 13 years of age. Children should always ask parents
for permission before providing personal information to any Web site or purchasing any products
or services online. The AHS urges all parents to participate in their children’s exploration of the
Internet and to teach them about protecting their personal information while online.
The AHS Web site provides links to non-AHS Web sites, and other Web sites may provide links
to the AHS Web site. When you link to a third-party Web site, you leave our Web site and no
longer will be subject to our privacy policy. The AHS is not responsible for the privacy practices
or the content of non-AHS Web sites, and such links are not intended to be an endorsement of

The Web site (excluding links to Web sites operated by others) is controlled and operated by
AHS in Antioch, California. Although AHS has made no effort to publish the Web site
elsewhere, it is accessible in all fifty U.S. states and in other countries due to its presence on the
World Wide Web. As each of these states and countries has laws that may differ from those of
California and from each other, and as you and AHS both benefit from establishing a predictable
legal environment in which to publish, access, and use AHS’s Web site, by publishing,
accessing, and/or using the Web site you agree that all matters arising from or relating to the use
and operation of the Web site will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without
regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that all claims you may have arising from or
relating to the operation or use of the Web site will be heard and resolved in the courts of Contra
Costa County, California. You consent to personal jurisdiction of such courts over you, stipulate
to the fairness and convenience of proceedings in such courts, and covenant not to assert any
objection to proceedings in such courts. If you choose to access the Web site from locations
other than Antioch, California, you will be responsible for compliance with all local laws of such
other locations.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold AHS, its trustees, officers, agents, employees, and
volunteers harmless from all claims, causes, allegations, costs, expenses, fees (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, liabilities, losses, and damages arising from or relating to
your use of or operation of the Web site.
