Privacy & Terms of Service:	Privacy Policy Statement Effective as of July 1, 2009 Quadel Consulting Corporation (“Quadel” or "we") has developed this policy statement to assist end users of the quadel.com Web site ("you" or "user") in understanding why Quadel collects particular personally identifiable information and how Quadel will help protect your personal privacy within its Web site (the "Privacy Policy"). The following information summarizes the personally identifiable information gathering and dissemination practices for Quadel's United States Web site located at the URL, www.quadel.com (collectively, the “Site”). Personally identifiable information ("PII") includes information that can be linked to a specific individual, such as a name, address, phone number, or e-mail address. Quadel reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. If Quadel makes changes to this Privacy Policy, Quadel will post those changes at this location and provide notice of any material changes so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Please review this Privacy Policy on a periodic basis. What Information Does Quadel Collect? PLEASE NOTE: THE TYPE OF DATA COLLECTED BY QUADEL WILL VARY WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE. To improve the quality of the information and services Quadel offers to you and to otherwise operate the Site and provide certain of its features, tools, and functionality, Quadel collects various PII (as described below) from different parts of its Site. Quadel gathers most information during the registration processes it utilizes to allow use of Quadel's information, courses, services, and/or tools. But, Quadel may request PII at other times, including, but not limited to, when you report a problem with our Site, when you complete survey forms, when you enter into a transaction through the Site, and when you request to receive communications from Quadel. Below, we provide specific examples of the types of PII Quadel collects through the Site. Again, please be aware that the type of data collected by Quadel will vary with your use of the Site. Contact Information: Quadel may request or require contact information, such as your name, address, phone number, facsimile number, and e-mail address. Demographic Information: Quadel may collect demographic and profile data (for example, educational, professional, and geographic information) at our Site as a part of its resume collection features, on-line course registration, and/or for management and monitoring purposes in order to continue to improve the Site and the quality of Quadel's on-line services. In addition, Quadel may collect demographic, professional, and profile data in connection with surveys it conducts for its own internal administration purposes or for release to third parties. Transactional Information: Quadel may maintain a database of aggregated information about the transactions on the Site (e.g., tool or feature (and related database) utilization, registration information, and article, course, or content selection data). Technical Information: Quadel may also collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from all users of our Site as well as the date and time of access and the Web page(s) accessed. Quadel may also catalog your log-in information and the type of computer, browser, or operating system used by the user. How Does Quadel Use that Information? The Site offers two different levels of access and service: (1) publicly available information areas and (2) registered user areas where an individual can access particular features, applications, courses, and tools (the "Registered User Section(s)"). Most of the Site is informational in nature and publicly available to all users. Consequently, until you register to access a Registered User area, participate in surveys, sign up for training or coursework; or receive information from Quadel, you are able to browse the Site without providing any PII, although your browser may tell us what type of computer and operating system you are using as well as other kinds of technical information. When you provide PII to Quadel, you share that information only with Quadel, unless it is specifically stated otherwise or you are using a service or completing a transaction involving third party products, applications, and/or services, such as when you register for on-line course work. In such instances, information sharing will be necessary to enable the transaction to take place. Below, is more detail on how Quadel uses your PII. Contact Information: Quadel may use your contact information to provide its services and training and to enable you to participate in the Site's activities, information, applications, and offerings. Quadel may also use your contact information to advertise its services and the goods and services of third parties, to create a personalized experience for you, to provide you with news and information, to contact you regarding a survey, and to get in touch with you when necessary with respect to transactions conducted through the Site, material changes in our Site’s policies and agreements, new services Quadel may offer, or otherwise. In addition, we may supplement the PII collected from you with information from other sources, such as from our business partners, in order to enhance our ability to provide or advertise our services and/or the services of others and otherwise tailor this Site. Please also note that certain PII may be made available for public review on the Site. We may also share your contact information with our business partners, as is necessary to provide our services and to allow for the on-line registration for coursework or to facilitate the collection and use of resumes provided through the Site's "CAREER" section, for advertising purposes, and for internal business purposes. Except for sharing arrangements with Quadel's business partners, however, we do not share your contact information with other types of third parties for any other purpose, except to a court or governmental agency if required by law. Demographic Information: Quadel may share, license, and/or sell demographic data on an aggregated basis, which will not identify any particular user, with our business partners, suppliers, and for advertising purposes. Survey Results: Quadel may share, license, and/or sell survey results and aggregated demographic data collected through the Site with its business partners and/or the general public, the news media, and with the U.S. Government and state governments, not only as may be required by law, but also to participate in government programs and initiatives. Transactional Information: Quadel may share, license, and/or sell transactional data on an aggregated basis, which will not identify any particular user, with advertisers or other third parties, including our business partners, for business purposes. Technical Information: Quadel may use technical information, such as your IP address or browser type, to help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze Site usage trends, track user movements on the Site, and to otherwise manage and monitor our Site. Business Transactions: In the event that Quadel goes through a business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition by another company involving the sale of all or a portion of its assets, please note that the PII collected and retained by Quadel may be among the assets transferred. In the event a transaction of this kind occurs that results in the transfer of PII, Quadel will notify you via e-mail and/or place a prominent notice on the Site for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control and the possible changes to this Privacy Policy. Legal Action. Quadel may disclose PII when legally required to do so in accordance with government requests or regulations or legal proceedings. We may also disclose PII to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site or as is otherwise required to limit legal liability, protect or defend our rights, property, or interests, or protect the safety, rights, or property of our users. What About the Use of Cookies? Quadel may use cookies to enhance your experience while using our Site. Cookies are pieces of information, which Quadel uses for record-keeping purposes, which the Site transfers to your computer’s Web-browser for storage on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies enable Quadel to customize your experience on the Site. Cookies also make Web-surfing easier by automatically performing certain functions such as saving your personal preferences and by ensuring that you don’t see the same advertisement repeatedly. Quadel, however, will not use cookies to record passwords or credit card or other financial information. Moreover, you can delete any cookies residing on your hard drive by following the instructions for your Web browser. Many consider the use of cookies to be an industry standard. Consequently, your Web browser is likely set to accept cookies. If you would prefer not to receive cookies, however, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, you should understand that it is possible that some areas of our Site will not function properly when you view them. What About External or Third Party Web Sites? To the extent hyperlinks or gateways (whether through banner advertisements or otherwise) are utilized to access external or third party sites, you should be aware that these external or third party sites may collect PII and are not controlled by Quadel and therefore, are not subject to this Privacy Policy. Quadel suggests that you check the privacy policies of these sites to determine how the proprietors of these third party sites will utilize your PII. What About Security? As is appropriate for the nature of PII collected and stored by Quadel, this Site has industry standard security measures or safeguards in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under Quadel's control. Although Quadel has endeavored to create a secure and reliable Site, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted via the Internet cannot be guaranteed. Accordingly, you should consider carefully if you want to submit sensitive information via the Internet. Quadel urges you to take every precaution to protect your PII when on-line. What About “Opting-Out” of Data Collection and Use? The collection, use, and distribution of your PII is necessary for Quadel to provide certain features, applications, and services and to operate the Site. For example, all users who register for the Registered User Section(s) and/or seek to receive information or newsletters from Quadel will need to agree to Quadel's use and collection of PII. Once registered with the Registered User Section(s), Quadel maintains your information so long as you are registered for Quadel's services at this Site. But, a number of Quadel's other programs are completely voluntary and as you are otherwise permitted to browse through and access the non-restricted areas of the Site, you can decide on your own if you wish to provide your PII or opt-out of doing so. For example, if Quadel conducts a survey, you do not have to participate unless you agree to do so and provide your e-mail address in order for Quadel to communicate with you. Quadel also provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of certain Quadel business practices where your PII may be used. Specifically, users may opt-out of including the PII they provide to Quadel in connection with the following activities: (i) inclusion in member mailings, (ii) e-mail communications sent by Quadel, (iii) facsimile communications sent by Quadel, and (iv) sharing arrangements with Quadel's business partners. Thus, to a large extent, you can control the information you provide or share with Quadel and/or its business partners. Moreover, even when Quadel contacts you, from time to time, regarding its products/services, this Site, or otherwise, if Quadel sends you such a communication, Quadel specifically provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving similar future correspondence by sending an e-mail to info@quadel.com. What About Correcting, Deleting, or Updating Information? At any time, you may contact Quadel to correct, modify, or delete the information you provide to Quadel through this Site, namely, your name, e-mail address, phone number, and address. In addition to the ability to make direct changes to the information stored in connection with your user/member profile, you may also e-mail Quadel at info@quadel.com with any requests or changes or to review other personal information that Quadel may have about you. Moreover, when you cease to use Quadel's services and no longer wish to be included in Quadel database, you may contact Quadel at info@quadel.com to request to have your information removed from our database. In the event that Quadel receives such a request or change, Quadel may require you to confirm or verify any change to your record. Please note, however, that the collection and uses of certain PII is necessary to provide certain products and services through the Site and the deletion of such necessary information, e.g., an e-mail address, may render a particular service or Quadel's ability to provide it inoperable. What About Children? Quadel cares about the safety of children on its Site and encourages parents and guardians to monitor their children’s use of the Internet. Although the Site is suitable for a general audience, this Site is intended for use only by users who are over 18 years of age. Accordingly, Quadel does not knowingly solicit PII from children or send them requests for personal information. What About Any Other Questions? If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the information collection and dissemination practices of this Site, or Quadel's use of your PII, you can contact Quadel at info@quadel.com.

Accordingly, notwithstanding this right and license, it is understood that by merely permitting your information, content, and materials to appear on this Site Quadel has not become and is not a publisher of such information, content, and materials and is merely functioning as an intermediary to enable you to provide and display a Posting. Moreover, Quadel assumes no responsibility for the deletion of or failure to store any Posting and recommends that you do not post, display, or transmit any confidential or sensitive information. 11.

Quadel encourages and permits text links to this Site and, in particular, by way of the use of a specific Quadel logo(s) (available by contacting Quadel at info@quadel.com) (the "Quadel Logo"), which may change from time to time in Quadel's sole discretion. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this TOS, Quadel hereby grants to you a personal, revocable, non-transferable, and non-sublicenseable right and license to use the Quadel Logo to link to this Site or to identify yourself or your entity as a user of Quadel's information, resources, and services and only so long as you do not use the Quadel Logo in a manner that discredits, tarnishes, harms, or damages Quadel, Quadel's products or services, or Quadel's goodwill. The Quadel Logo may not be revised or altered in any way, and must be displayed in the same form as produced by Quadel. The official colors of the Quadel Logo are PMS Warm Gray 11 and PMS 485, or the CMYK/RGB equivalent, and the Quadel Logo must be printed or displayed in the official colors or in black/white. However, any links to this Site or any other use of the Quadel Logo should not be utilized in an unlawful manner or in a way that suggests that Quadel promotes or otherwise endorses any third-party products, services, programs, causes, campaigns, Web sites, or information unless Quadel has provided prior written consent for such promotion or endorsement. Moreover, you may not use the Quadel Logo on personal business cards, stationery, literature, advertisements, business windows, or in other comparable manners in order to signify membership with Quadel. Any use of the Quadel Logo, as permitted by this TOS, shall not create or convey any additional rights and shall not suggest or imply a mischaracterization of the relationship with Quadel. You acknowledge and agree that this TOS permits only a limited right to use the Quadel Logo and that all other rights in the Quadel Logo are hereby reserved by and to Quadel. As a member of the Quadel and as a condition to this license, you acknowledge and agree that Quadel has the right to request samples of use of the Quadel Logo in order to ensure compliance with this TOS. The failure to comply with this TOS shall result in immediate termination of any right to use the Quadel Logo. 18. DISCLAIMER.

If any part of this TOS is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and the liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most clearly matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this TOS shall continue in effect. 25.
