Terms and Conditions of Use

DISCLAIMER

The information on this website is provided as a service to the public. The inclusion of an organization or person does not constitute an endorsement with respect to the competence, suitability, or reliability of such organization or person by the City of Albuquerque, nor does the City of Albuquerque sponsor or endorse any third-party website.

Acceptance of Terms and Conditions of Use: 

By electing to complete community service and use the Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) Community Service website, you agree to the Terms and Conditions listed below. From time to time, these Terms and Conditions may be revised by updating this document and posting it on the ASE Community Service website. All changes are effective immediately when we post them. Your continued use of this webpage following the posting of revised Terms of Use means you accept and agree to the changes.

Proof of Completion of Community Service Requirements:

To receive credit for community service hours completed, the applicable City department or organization must certify the completion. Services shall be rendered in not less than full hour increments and shall be credited against the fine payable at a rate of $25 per hour. 

Default:

By electing to complete community service in lieu of payment of the ASE fine, you agree to complete four (4) hours of community service within ninety (90) days from the date of the ASE system fine notice.  If you do not complete four (4) hours of community service within ninety (90) days from the date of the ASE system fine notice, you shall be considered in default, and responsible for payment of the remaining fine.  If you do not pay the fine within fifteen (15) days, your debt may be forwarded to a collection agency, and the City may pursue all other remedies for collection of a debt.

ASE Community Service Participants:

You must use this system only for its intended purpose. The system’s use to send unsolicited email messages about products or services is expressly forbidden and will lead to the termination of user privileges.

Organizations:

You are solely responsible for registering your organizational profile and posting and updating your organizational listings. The City of Albuquerque reserves the right to edit and/or remove organizations or opportunities registered through the site without prior notice. 

Each organization which posts profiles and listings with the ASE Community Service website warrants that it has an organizational presence and utilizes volunteers in Bernalillo County or counties directly adjacent to Bernalillo County. (Bernalillo County constitutes the primary service area of ASE Community Service; however, the City of Albuquerque recognizes that many people who live/work in Bernalillo County have strong ties in surrounding counties.)

Organizations using the site MUST approve hours submitted to their opportunities within 7 days of the date hours are submitted by the community service program participants.

Organizations must meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Is a legally incorporated nonprofit entity, or
  • Is registered with the IRS as a tax-exempt entity, or
  • Is a governmental entity, or
  • Is a legally incorporated educational entity, or
  • Is a faith-based organization recruiting volunteers to engage solely in health and human service type activities without any pre-condition or preference based upon religious affiliation or non-affiliation.  Religious organizations may not utilize volunteers recruited through this website for any religious activities, including proselytizing, or
  • Is a neighborhood association recognized by the City of Albuquerque, or
  • Is a for-profit entity recruiting volunteers to engage in a subsidiary non-profit /humanitarian venture or in direct client contact, or
  • Is an issue-oriented and/or advocacy organization which is either legally incorporated or registered with the IRS as a tax-exempt entity.

Organizations shall, above all else, provide a safe environment in which to complete community service. Organizations recruiting individuals through the ASE Community Service website assume all liability for the safety of individuals completing service, unless a liability waiver is signed by the individual. Even with a liability waiver, organizations must make all reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of the individual completing community service and the population served by their organization. The City of Albuquerque cannot be held liable for outcomes resulting from third-party use of the ASE Community Service platform, and any party using the ASE Community Service platform, by so doing, expressly releases the City of Albuquerque from any such liability.

Organizations agree to provide regular maintenance of their organizational profile and listings, updating at least every six (6) months and as needed is a best practice. The City of Albuquerque reserves the right to deactivate any organization that the City of Albuquerque determines, in its sole discretion, does not keep their contacts and opportunities up to date.

The City of Albuquerque reserves the right to refuse or remove any organization which the City of Albuquerque has determined in its sole and exclusive discretion is engaged primarily in or utilizing ASE community service participants to advance, participate in, or provide support for any partisan or political efforts, without regard or preference to point-of-view or political/party affiliation.

All active opportunities posted on the ASE Community Service website may be shared and cross posted to any external website without additional approval from the organization posting the opportunity. All active opportunities posted on the ASE Community Service website are eligible to be publicized through City of Albuquerque media promotions.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.

These terms and conditions are effective from May 25, 2022.

Official Privacy Policy

Confidentiality is a hallmark of professionalism.

City of Albuquerque uses reasonable commercial efforts to avoid disclosure of information which is confidential, privileged or nonpublic other than in accordance with this privacy policy.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

City of Albuquerque gathers personally identifiable data when voluntarily submitted by a user, which may include: name, addresses, zip codes, e-mail addresses, donor choice information, user groups, etc. For example, personally identifiable information may be collected in order to record a stated desire to donate online to City of Albuquerque via a direct gift or through a company sponsored campaign. This information is used solely by City of Albuquerque or other parties to the transaction for the purpose of executing the transaction, to improve your experience with us, and for the internal business purposes of City of Albuquerque.

We are the sole owners of the information collected. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization other than organizations, affiliates, contractors, advisors, service providers except to investigate or prevent fraud, illegal activity or misuse of our web site.

By using this website, you are electing to receive e-mail communication from us. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about your completion of community service. 

We may collect your IP (Internet Protocol) address to administer our web site. When a web browser or email application requests a web page or email from another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send the information. This is called the computer's "IP address". This "address" does not contain any personally identifiable information.

Cookies that are used on the web site are called "session" cookies, and are used to identify a particular visit to the web site. Session cookies expire after a short time or when you close your web browser. Due to the communications standards on the Internet, when you visit the web site City of Albuquerque automatically receives the URL of the web site from which you came and the web site to which you are going when you leave the web site. We also receive the IP address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system and type of web browser you are using, as well as the name of your internet service provider (ISP). We may use this information to analyze overall trends to help us improve our services, but we do not generally link this information to personally identifiable information in any way.

The information which City of Albuquerque automatically gathers, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site and its areas, is used only in the aggregate very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. This collective data helps us determine how much our visitors use parts of the site, so that we can continuously improve our site. We also may provide aggregated statistical "ratings" information, never information about you personally, to our partners about how our visitors, collectively use our web site.

You are given the opportunity to "opt-out" of having your personally identifiable data used for communication purposes. To access your data, you can do the following at any time:

  • Change/correct any data we have about you.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of web sites or affiliate agencies before providing them with any of your personally identifiable data.

Security

We have put in place commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to safeguard and secure the information we collect online for reasonably foreseeable risk. However, due to the open communication nature of the Internet we cannot guarantee that communication between you and us and us and you will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE MAKES NO WARRANTIES AS TO THE SECURITY OF YOUR DATA COMMUNICATIONS, OR THAT THIRD PARTIES WILL NOT GAIN UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR MONITOR YOUR COMPUTER(S) OR ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS. YOU AGREE THAT CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SUCH ACCESS.
