1. Website License and Access
These Terms of Use are entered into by and between you and the International Air Transport Association , an association created by a Special Act of the Parliament of Canada ("IATA," "we," or "us") and govern your access to and use of www.iata.org, including any content, functionality, associated microsites, as well as services offered on or through www.iata.org (the "Website"), whether as a guest or a registered user. As a user of this Website, unless otherwise stated, you are granted a single user, non-exclusive, non-transferrable, revocable limited license to access and use this Website and its content in accordance with these Terms of Use. IATA may terminate this license at any time where it considers its copyright or intellectual property rights have been or may be infringed, accidentally or otherwise, or that the scope of usage is or is intended to be outside the permitted Terms of Use.
Certain products and services are available to users upon satisfactory completion of registration documentation. Confidential access codes may be provided to enable continued access online with full or partial permitted exposition of particular data files or permitted downloading of content. The access code(s) so provided are intended for your sole use and may not be passed to co-workers or to third parties. If accidental or other misuse of confidential access codes occurs or is believed to occur, IATA reserves the right to treat each such occurrence as a breach of these Terms of Use and to withdraw access to the products and services. If the user becomes aware or suspects an unauthorized person has obtained the access codes, the user should immediately notify IATA so that the situation may be rectified.
IATA may update and change the content of the Website from time to time to reflect changes to IATA’s products and services, its users’ needs and its business priorities.
