In no event shall MASA be liable for any special, indirect or consequential damages or any damages whatsoever resulting from the loss of use, data or profits, arising out of or in connection with the use or performance of any information posted on this site.
Generally speaking, violating antitrust regulations, libeling others, infringing copyrights, selling and marketing are not permissible. Do not post any defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive or illegal materials.

Messages should not be posted if they encourage or facilitate members to arrive at any agreement that either expressly or impliedly leads to price fixing, a boycott of another's business, or other conduct intended to illegally restrict free trade. Members generally must avoid any discussions regarding joint or collective responses to contract terms offered by governmental or private third party payors or suppliers. Such discussions may violate state and/or federal antitrust laws, except where they are conducted in the formal planning by MASA to influence state or federal policy or governmental reimbursement of physician services through legislative or regulatory advocacy, or litigation. Even then, such discussions should not include threats collectively to withhold medical services from patients whose fees are paid in whole or in part by federal or state government. Do not post any information which may compromise physician-patient confidentiality. Do not post any material regarding specific prices or fees charged or paid. Do not post any information concerning prices, discounts, or terms or conditions of sale either obtained by or offered to another entity.
