Resume Posting Service Waiver and Disclaimer

The posting of resumes on the Massachusetts society of certified public accountants, Inc's ("MSCPA") Web site is a free service made available to members of the general public. Neither the MSCPA nor any of its members makes any warranty, express or implied, or assumes any liability or responsibility for the operation of the Web site resume posting service or the content of any postings.

By posting your resume on the MSCPA Web site, you are agreeing to waive, release and hold harmless the MSCPA and its members from any and all claims arising from, or related in any way, to the MSCPA Web site, the Web site resume posting service or your individual resume. The following sections provide some disclaimer information concerning the general operation of the Web site resume service. Nothing contained therein or elsewhere on this Web site, shall be deemed to limit, in any way, the waiver and release effectuated by the posting of a resume.

Posting Periods

Upon posting, it is the intention of the MSCPA that resumes will remain posted for six months. Once the six month period ends, the MSCPA plans to send an e-mail warning that the resume has been removed from the site. The MSCPA assumes no responsibility concerning the maintenance or renewal of resume postings. It is the poster's responsibility to monitor the status of their resume.

You may contact Mona McCarthy if you wish to remove your resume.
