TERMS OF USE
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ESTATE LIQUIDATORS LLC
Effective August 14, 2026
Welcome to the website of the American Society of Estate Liquidators® at aselonline.com (the “Site”). The Site is owned and operated by American Society of Estate Liquidators LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“ASEL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (the “Terms”). If you do not agree to all of the Terms, do not use the Site.
ASEL may modify or revise these Terms at any time by updating this page and revising the Effective Date above. Your continued use of the Site following any change constitutes your agreement to be bound by the Terms as changed. If any change is unacceptable to you, your sole remedy is to discontinue your use of the Site.
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to use the Site, purchase materials, or hold a membership. If you accept these Terms on behalf of a business or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to both you individually and that entity.
ASEL is a training, educational, and resource organization specializing in estate liquidation. ASEL is not affiliated with, sanctioned by, accredited by, or endorsed by any governmental body. ASEL is not a law firm, an accounting firm, or an appraisal firm, and does not provide legal, tax, accounting, appraisal, or other professional advice. Nothing on the Site, and no course, form, template, publication, or other material offered through the Site, constitutes legal or other professional advice or creates an attorney-client or other professional relationship. You should consult your own licensed professional advisors regarding your specific circumstances.
ASEL owns or licenses all content provided on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, course materials, forms, templates, and the compilation thereof, and reserves all right, title, and interest in that content. AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ESTATE LIQUIDATORS and ASEL are registered marks of ASEL. No Site content may be reproduced, copied, republished, distributed, or used to create derivative works without the express written permission of ASEL, except as expressly permitted by license terms accompanying a specific product.
Access to certain areas of the Site, and to certain forms, templates, and course materials, is limited to members in good standing or to purchasers. Materials you purchase or access as a member are licensed to you, not sold, and are governed by the license and disclaimer terms accompanying them. Membership, certification, or designation by ASEL does not constitute licensure, accreditation, or endorsement by any governmental authority.
(a) Fees. Membership fees, course fees, and prices for forms and other materials are as posted on the Site at the time of purchase and are payable in advance. ASEL may change its prices prospectively upon notice; increases applicable to a renewal term are governed by subsection (d).
(b) Automatic Renewal. Where automatic renewal is offered on the Site and your membership is enrolled in automatic renewal: UNLESS YOU CANCEL BEFORE THE END OF YOUR CURRENT TERM, YOUR MEMBERSHIP WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY FOR SUCCESSIVE ONE (1) YEAR TERMS, AND YOU AUTHORIZE ASEL TO CHARGE THE PAYMENT METHOD ON FILE THE THEN-CURRENT RENEWAL FEE ON EACH RENEWAL DATE UNTIL YOU CANCEL. You may cancel at any time as described in subsection (c). At the time you enroll in an automatically renewing membership, ASEL will confirm the length of your term, your renewal date, and the amount to be charged. If your membership is not enrolled in automatic renewal, it expires at the end of its term unless you renew it.
(c) Cancellation. You may cancel your membership at any time through your account settings on the Site, where available, or by written notice to ASEL at the mailing address or email address in Section 26. For any membership that renews automatically, ASEL will maintain an online cancellation mechanism that is at least as easy to use as the process for enrolling. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your then-current term. You retain access to member benefits through the end of that term and will not be charged for any subsequent term.
(d) Renewal Reminders and Price Changes. If your membership renews automatically, ASEL will send you a reminder notice at least thirty (30) days before each renewal date stating the renewal date and the amount that will be charged. If ASEL increases the fee applicable to a renewal term, ASEL will provide notice of the new price at least thirty (30) days before the renewal date, and you may cancel before that date if you do not wish to accept the new price.
(e) Refunds. Except where a refund is required by applicable law and except as provided in Section 11, membership fees are non-refundable, and cancellation does not entitle you to a refund or proration of fees paid for the current term. Fees for forms, templates, and other downloadable or digital materials are non-refundable once the material has been accessed or downloaded.
(f) Payment Authorization. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide, and you authorize ASEL to charge that method for all fees you incur. If a charge is declined, reversed, or charged back, ASEL may suspend your membership and access to member-only materials until payment is made.
(a) Submissions. You may have the opportunity to submit information and materials to the Site, including directory and profile information, photographs, comments, reviews, and testimonials (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content.
(b) License to ASEL. By submitting User Content, you grant ASEL a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, display, distribute, publish, adapt, and create derivative works of that User Content in connection with ASEL’s business, including on the Site and in ASEL’s marketing and promotional materials, together with your name, business name, and general geographic location. ASEL will honor requests to remove User Content from the Site as described in the Privacy Policy; the license above continues thereafter only as to materials already published or distributed.
(c) Your Representations. You represent and warrant that you own or have obtained all rights necessary to grant the foregoing license, that your User Content is accurate, and that it does not infringe the rights of any third party or violate any applicable law.
(d) Testimonials. Testimonials and endorsements published on the Site reflect the individual experiences of the members who provided them. Individual results vary and depend on factors ASEL does not control, including each member’s market, experience, effort, and business practices. Testimonials are not a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of any particular result, and should not be understood as representing typical or average results. Where a member has received anything of value in exchange for a testimonial, that fact is disclosed with the testimonial.
(e) Removal. ASEL may decline to publish, or may remove, any User Content at its sole discretion.
You agree that you will not: (i) access or use the Site or the member directory by any automated means, including scraping, crawling, spidering, or data mining; (ii) copy, download, harvest, compile, or resell member information; (iii) use member contact information to send unsolicited commercial communications; (iv) circumvent, disable, or interfere with any access control, security feature, or membership restriction; (v) share your login credentials or permit any other person to access member-only materials through your account; (vi) upload or transmit any virus, malware, or other harmful code; (vii) interfere with the operation of the Site or impose an unreasonable load on its infrastructure; or (viii) use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that violates these Terms.
ASEL is not a policing or regulatory organization. Members and users of ASEL’s products and services are responsible for their own conduct and actions. Although ASEL expects all of its members to abide by its Code of Ethics, and may terminate a member’s association with ASEL when ASEL receives sufficient information to determine that a member has violated the Code of Ethics or otherwise failed to act in an ethical manner in the handling of an estate sale, ASEL does not supervise, direct, control, or guarantee the conduct, competence, or work product of any member or estate liquidator. Any engagement you enter into with an estate liquidator is solely between you and that liquidator.
ASEL may suspend or terminate your access to the Site, your account, or your membership, in whole or in part, at any time, if ASEL determines that you have violated these Terms, the Code of Ethics, or applicable law, or for non-payment of fees. Upon termination, your right to access member-only areas of the Site and to download materials ends immediately, and any listing you hold in the member directory may be removed. Licenses to materials you lawfully downloaded before termination continue in accordance with the license terms accompanying those materials, subject to Sections 5, 6, and 9.
ASEL may also terminate your membership without cause on notice to you, in which case ASEL will refund the pro rata portion of your membership fee attributable to the remainder of your then-current term. Termination for cause does not entitle you to a refund of any fees paid. Refunds are otherwise governed by Section 7 and by any membership agreement you have accepted.
ASEL respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material available on the Site infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to ASEL using the contact information in Section 26. Your notice should identify the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, identify the material you believe to be infringing and where it appears on the Site, provide your name, address, telephone number and email address, and include a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
ASEL will review the notices it receives and may remove or disable access to material that it believes in good faith to be infringing. ASEL may also, in appropriate circumstances and in its sole discretion, terminate the account of any person it determines to be a repeat infringer. Nothing in this Section limits any remedy available to a copyright owner under applicable law.
The Site may contain links to other websites (“Linked Sites”). ASEL does not operate or control any information, products, or services on Linked Sites and does not endorse or approve any products or information offered there. You acknowledge and agree that your access to and use of any Linked Site is at your own risk.
THE SITE, ITS CONTENTS, AND ALL INFORMATION, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES CONTAINED IN OR OFFERED THROUGH THE SITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. ASEL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. ASEL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE OR ITS CONTENTS WILL BE COMPLETE, ACCURATE, CURRENT, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE SITE OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. ALL INFORMATION ON THE SITE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
ASEL’s General Warranty Disclaimer is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
ASEL’s Limitation of Liability is incorporated into these Terms by reference and governs all claims arising out of or relating to the Site, ASEL’s products and services, and the conduct of members and estate liquidators.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ASEL and its sole member, managers, officers, employees, agents, and contractors (in their capacity as such, and not any dues-paying member of ASEL), and ASEL’s successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to (i) your use of the Site, (ii) your use of any ASEL product, form, template, or course material, (iii) your User Content, or (iv) your violation of any of these Terms.
ASEL’s Privacy Policy describes how ASEL collects, uses, and discloses information, and is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By accepting these Terms, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.
By using the Site or purchasing any ASEL product or service, you consent to receive communications from ASEL electronically, including by email and by postings on the Site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that ASEL provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
These Terms are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.
Any action, suit, claim, or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or any ASEL product or service shall be brought exclusively in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Warren County, or in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. You irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts, agree that venue is proper in those courts, and waive any objection to those courts on the ground of lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or inconvenient forum.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND ASEL EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR ANY ASEL PRODUCT OR SERVICE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE.
Each party acknowledges that the right to a trial by jury is a constitutional right that it is giving up by agreeing to this Section; that this waiver is mutual and applies equally to you and to ASEL; that no representative of either party has represented that the other party would not seek to enforce this waiver; and that each party has had the opportunity to consult with counsel of its own choosing before accepting these Terms. This waiver does not affect either party’s right to have any dispute decided by a judge in the courts identified in Section 19.
ASEL may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, your account, or your membership without ASEL’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment without such consent is void.
ASEL may give notice to you by email to the address associated with your account, by posting notice on the Site, or by mail to the address you have provided. You must give notice to ASEL in writing at the address set forth in Section 26. Notice is effective upon receipt or, if given by email or by posting on the Site, on the date sent or posted.
Sections 5 (Intellectual Property), 6 (Membership and Purchased Materials), 8 (User Content and Testimonials), 9 (Acceptable Use), 14 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 15 (Limitation of Liability), 16 (Indemnification), 19 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue), 20 (Waiver of Jury Trial), and this Section 23, together with any other provision that by its nature should survive, survive the termination or expiration of these Terms.
If the law of your state prohibits or restricts any warranty exclusion, limitation of liability, or shortened limitations period set forth in or incorporated into these Terms, that provision does not apply to you to the extent prohibited, and ASEL’s liability is instead limited, and any limitations period shortened, to the greatest extent your state’s law permits. All other provisions of these Terms continue to apply to you in full. The provisions of these Terms are intended to be, and ASEL believes them to be, enforceable under New Jersey law, and no provision of these Terms is void, unenforceable, or inapplicable in New Jersey except as expressly stated in these Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions, and shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Limitation of Liability, the General Warranty Disclaimer, the Associate Agreement, the Professional Estate Liquidator Application Agreement, or the Accredited Estate Liquidator Application Agreement you have accepted (each, a “Membership Agreement”), the Code of Ethics, and any license or disclaimer terms accompanying a specific product, constitute the entire agreement between you and ASEL concerning the Site and supersede all prior understandings on that subject. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a Membership Agreement you have accepted, the Membership Agreement governs as to your membership.
Questions, notices, and requests regarding these Terms, including notices of claimed copyright infringement, should be directed to: American Society of Estate Liquidators LLC, P.O. Box 42, Hackettstown, New Jersey 07840; (908) 989-0304; service@aselonline.com.
PRIVACY POLICY
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ESTATE LIQUIDATORS LLC
Effective August 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how American Society of Estate Liquidators LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“ASEL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with the website at aselonline.com (the “Site”) and the memberships, courses, forms, publications, and other products and services offered through it. It applies to visitors, applicants, members, and purchasers. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of ASEL’s Terms of Use.
Most of the information we hold comes directly from you. We also obtain information from our service providers, such as confirmation that a payment was completed, and from records transferred to ASEL in connection with its acquisition of the American Society of Estate Liquidators business, including historical membership records. Information obtained in that transfer is handled in accordance with this Policy.
We use information to process and fulfill orders and memberships; to provide courses, forms, and member resources; to maintain the member directory; to respond to your inquiries; to administer, secure, and improve the Site; to send administrative messages regarding your account or purchases; to send marketing communications where permitted by law; and to comply with our legal obligations.
ASEL does not sell or rent your personal information. We share personal information: (i) with service providers that perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processing, website hosting, email delivery, course platforms, and website analytics, under obligations of confidentiality and limited use; (ii) as you direct, including publication of your listing in the member directory; (iii) in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business; and (iv) where required by law or legal process, or where necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of ASEL, our members, or others.
The Site may use analytics and advertising technologies operated by third parties, which may collect information about your device and your activity on the Site through cookies and similar technologies. Some state privacy laws treat disclosures of that kind as “sharing” for targeted advertising even where no money is exchanged. You may opt out as described in Section 9.
Some information you provide is published on the Site and is therefore available to anyone, including search engines. This includes your member directory listing, if you elect to be listed; any testimonial or endorsement you provide, which may be published with your name, business name, and general geographic location; and any comment or other content you post in a public area of the Site.
You may request correction or removal of your directory listing, testimonial, or other public content at any time using the contact information in Section 15. Please note that material already indexed or copied by third parties may remain accessible after removal from the Site.
We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and improve your experience. The Site may also use cookies and similar technologies operated by third-party analytics and advertising providers. You may set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; if you do, some portions of the Site may not function properly. Where required by applicable law, we obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
We retain personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including for the duration of your membership and a reasonable period afterward, and thereafter as necessary to comply with our legal, tax, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.
(a) Requests You May Make. You may at any time request access to the personal information we hold about you; request that we correct information that is inaccurate; request that we delete your personal information, subject to our legal and recordkeeping obligations; opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in any such email or by contacting us; and request removal from the member directory.
(b) State Privacy Rights. Residents of certain states, including California, may have additional rights under applicable law, including the right to know the categories of personal information we collect and disclose, the right to delete, the right to correct, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information and of targeted advertising. ASEL does not sell personal information. If you wish to opt out of any use of your information for targeted advertising, you may contact us using the information in Section 15.
(c) How to Make a Request. To exercise any right described in this Section, contact us using the information in Section 15. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we may decline a request where we are unable to verify it or where an exception under applicable law applies. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with proof of authorization.
(d) Appeals. If we decline your request, we will tell you why. You may appeal that decision by contacting us using the information in Section 15 and stating that you wish to appeal. We will respond to your appeal in writing within the time permitted by applicable law.
(e) Opt-Out Preference Signals. Some browsers and extensions transmit opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control. Where required by applicable law, we treat a signal we receive as a request to opt out of the sale of personal information and of sharing personal information for targeted advertising.
(f) California Direct Marketing. California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits California residents to request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. ASEL does not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
(g) No Discrimination. We will not deny you goods or services, charge you a different price, or provide you a different level of service because you exercised any of these rights.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. Sensitive information submitted through the Site is encrypted in transit. Access to personal information is limited to personnel who require it to perform a specific job function, and records containing personal information are maintained in a secure environment. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
In the event of a breach of security affecting your personal information, we will notify you and any applicable regulator as and when required by law.
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will delete it. A parent or guardian who believes we may have collected information from a child may contact us using the information in Section 15.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites and services. This Policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
ASEL is located in the United States, and the Site is operated and hosted in the United States. Information we collect is stored and processed in the United States and may be accessed by our service providers there. If you access the Site or provide information to us from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those of your country.
We may update this Policy from time to time. All updates will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date. Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
Questions, requests, appeals, or complaints regarding this Policy or our handling of personal information should be directed to: American Society of Estate Liquidators LLC, P.O. Box 42, Hackettstown, New Jersey 07840; (908) 989-0304; service@aselonline.com.
