Welcome to the website of Long Island Elite (“Long Island Elite,” “LIE,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of our website, including any public pages, forms, member portal areas, directory features, event information, and related online services available through this website.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
1. Purpose of This Website
This website is provided to share information about Long Island Elite, our mission, members, charitable initiatives, events, news, and related organizational activities.
Long Island Elite is a professional and philanthropic organization. While the website may include information about members, events, and opportunities to connect, the website itself is not intended to serve as the primary location where member interaction activities occur. Relationship-building, charitable activity, and member engagement generally occur through in-person events, organizational activities, direct communication, and other channels outside the website.
2. Use of the Website
You may use this website for lawful, personal, professional, and informational purposes only. You agree not to use the website in any way that:
- Violates any applicable law or regulation;
- Interferes with the security, operation, or availability of the website;
- Attempts to gain unauthorized access to restricted areas, accounts, systems, or data;
- Uses automated tools, scraping, bots, or similar methods to collect information from the website;
- Copies, harvests, or misuses member contact information;
- Sends spam, unsolicited marketing, mass solicitations, or inappropriate communications to members or representatives of Long Island Elite;
- Misrepresents your identity, affiliation, or purpose in contacting members or the organization;
- Uploads, submits, or transmits content that is unlawful, defamatory, harmful, obscene, infringing, or otherwise inappropriate.
We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access to any portion of the website if we believe these Terms have been violated.
3. Member Portal and Member Information
Certain portions of the website may be available only to approved members or authorized users. The member portal may include member names, business affiliations, titles, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, business descriptions, or similar professional contact information.
The member portal is intended to provide convenient access to member contact details that are generally professional in nature and comparable to information that may appear on a business card, company website, professional profile, or public business directory.
Access to the member portal does not grant permission to misuse, sell, license, scrape, redistribute, publish, or mass-download member information. Member contact information may be used only for appropriate professional, organizational, or relationship-building purposes consistent with the mission and standards of Long Island Elite.
4. Member Accounts and Login Credentials
If you are provided with login credentials for a member-only area, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and password. You agree not to share your login credentials with unauthorized users.
You are responsible for any activity that occurs under your account. If you believe your account has been accessed without authorization, you should notify Long Island Elite promptly.
We may suspend or revoke access to the member portal at any time if we believe an account has been misused, compromised, shared improperly, or used in violation of these Terms.

6. Events, Membership, and Organizational Participation
