POLICY STATEMENT ON ENDORSEMENTS

It is the Policy of the Kentucky Association of Chiropractors, Inc. that its name, logo and phrases or slogans about the KAC and chiropractic are the property of the Kentucky Association of Chiropractors, Inc. The KAC reserves the right to control the usage of its name, logo and phrases or slogans by the KAC, its District affiliates or any other entity whom the KAC chooses to permit such use by contract. Use of such name, logos or KAC mottoes is in no way an endorsement of product superiority by the KAC because the KAC has not conducted comparison tests of the products. The KAC encourages chiropractors to use the same discretion and judgment in product review under such endorsements as they otherwise would as a consumer. Additionally, the KAC encourages readers who are contemplating the use of any products or services to consult with an attorney for advice regarding laws that may apply.

POLICY STATEMENT ON PUBLICATIONS

It is the Policy of the Kentucky Association of Chiropractors, Inc. that its periodicals are published on monthly basis under the title KY Connection and all publications (including KAC electronic publications and content available on its website at www.thekac.org) are owned and published by the KAC for the purpose of promoting chiropractic progress and general health. The KAC holds itself without responsibility for the opinions, theories, or criticisms contained in its publications, periodicals and website, including but not limited to advertisements, reports and essays, except when otherwise decided by special resolution. The Editor, Staff, Executive committee and Directors of the KAC assume no responsibility for material contained in articles and advertisements published, and publication does not constitute a personal endorsement nor is it intended to operate as a legal opinion. Additionally, the KAC encourages readers who are contemplating the use of any products or services to consult with an attorney for advice regarding laws that may apply.

POLICY STATEMENT ON ANTITRUST

The Kentucky Association of Chiropractors, Inc. (KAC) has a policy of strict compliance with state and federal antitrust laws.  Violations of antitrust laws have serious consequences.  The KAC expects staff, officers, directors, KAC members, education participants, education presenters, KAC vendors, KAC convention expo participants, contractors and any other entity doing business with the KAC, to observe state and federal antitrust laws that prohibit agreements among competitors that unreasonably restrain competition.  Charges of antitrust violations are often based upon discussions among competitors regarding prices, price levels or price mechanisms, refusals to purchase from certain suppliers of products or providers of services, division of markets by customer or territory, conditioning the purchase of one product or service upon the purchase of another product or service, and also include soliciting or communicating any health care provider’s views, decisions or intentions concerning any participation agreement, or agreements to participate or not participate in any network agreement, or any other type of boycott or refusal to do business with persons or businesses.  The KAC does not tolerate any such discussions during any KAC sponsored meeting or continuing medical education class, either during formal meeting sessions or during breaks or other events where informal discussions occur.  Additionally, the KAC does not tolerate any such discussions, whether formal or informal, which take place online, through private messages, or via email.
