NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, TOTAL LIABILITY OF ATD FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER RELATED TO USE OF THE ATD RESOURCE CENTER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO ATD IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE PARTICULAR DISPUTE DURING THE PRIOR THREE MONTHS.
INDEMNITY.

You therefore agree that ATD shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of this TOS.

In late 2013, ASTD (now ATD) announced there will be two tiers of membership starting in January 2014: Professional and Professional Plus.
Members who had the opportunity to upgrade to Professional Plus membership for the same price as their existing membership will continue to receive this upgrade for as long as they maintain their ATD membership without lapse, or until ATD adjusts its membership offering, whichever comes first. ATD reserves the right to modify its membership tiers, benefits, programs, or any aspect of the offering at any time. If modifications are made to those members receiving this upgrade, affected members will receive notice via email 60 days prior to any changes.
The following is for informational purposes only, and is not intended to be an exhaustive list of membership rules and restrictions. Please contact customercare@td.org with questions.

Accordingly, when you cancel, you cancel only future charges associated with your membership or subscription, and you will receive a prorated refund amount if there is at least 31 days left in your membership or subscription. Your cancellation will become effective within two business days of receiving your request for cancellation of your membership or subscription and your order will be terminated on the last day of the current month.

Upon receipt of proper notification of claimed infringement, ATD will follow the procedures outlined herein.
Copyright Counter-Notices. If ATD terminates or suspends Your access to or use of the Website, ATD will make a good-faith attempt (as warranted) to contact You so that You may make a counter notification pursuant to applicable laws. It is ATD's policy to document all notices of alleged infringement upon which ATD decides to take action. If content You posted on the Website was removed due to a claim(s) of copyright or intellectual property infringement and You would like to dispute that removal, the process for counter-notifications is governed by Section 512(g) of the DMCA:
Elements of Counter-Notification. To expedite our ability to process Your counter-notification, please use the following format (including section numbers):
After we receive Your counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement. Please note that when we forward the counter-notification, it may include any of Your identifying information set forth in the counter-notification. By submitting a counter-notification, You therefore consent to having such identifying information revealed in this way.
After we send out the counter-notification, the claimant must then notify us within ten (10) days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain You from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Website. If we receive such notification, we will be unable to restore the items. If we do not receive such notification, we may, but are not obligated to, reinstate the disputed item(s).
Foreign Counter-Notification. If You reside outside of the United States, please understand that filing a counter-notice may lead to legal proceedings between You and the complaining party to determine ownership. Therefore, please be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in Your country and/or the United States of America if You make a false or bad faith allegation by using this process. Please also be advised that we enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of users who are infringers. So, if You are not sure whether content You posted on the Website is being infringed, or are otherwise unsure of whether to file a counter-notification using these procedures, we recommend You first contact a lawyer knowledgeable in the laws of the United States. If You do wish to file a counter-notice, You should follow the process set forth above under the heading “Elements of Counter-Notification.”
