Forums Acceptable Use Policy

Participation in the forums with other users is a matter of good practice and courtesy to others. The principal purpose of our forum is to encourage discussion relating to membership in the association, saxophone playing, saxophone teaching, and interests related to the saxophone. These discussions are intended to be open and as unfettered as possible.

To that end, we request participants in the forums to follow these basic guidelines as our acceptable use policy:

2. The forum cannot under any circumstances be used for commercial purposes by any participant. The purpose of the forum is simply to facilitate discussion in respect of the subjects that arise. In effect, the forum is intended to be used for that purpose only and accordingly no participant in the forum may post, publish, or distribute material containing any advertising, promotion, solicitation of funds, or goods and / or services.
