We're glad you have chosen to learn more about AventuraBusinessMonthly.com. It is our firm belief that Aventura is the most vibrant community, both from an industry standpoint and from a social perspective, in all of South Florida. So it was only natural to produce an online publication to capture all the city and its surrounding parts have to offer. While our primary focus will be on business, no website about any metropolis would be complete without the incorporation of philanthropy, the arts, sports and community events, and political news.

Our company is privately held and has no affiliation with the City of Aventura, Miami-Dade County, or the State of Florida in any way. The articles and feature stories on our homepage are updated on a monthly basis, with our posting forums and chat rooms accessible 24/7 for members to contribute content around the clock. Anyone over the age of 13 is welcome to register a user-name. Please visit our Terms of Service for more information about the rules and policies we have adopted to govern members' behavior inside the interactive areas of this website.

Our objective is three-fold. We want to generate dynamic, thought-provoking content. We want to have fun and conduct ourselves with integrity while doing so. And we want to involve the community by encouraging as much participation as possible in our posting forums. We will always strive to achieve the highest standards of quality, both in our writing and with the businesses with which we choose to align ourselves. To do so, it is imperative that we attract the best talent and promote from within. We appreciate the value of multiple perspectives and diverse expertise. We thrive on creativity and ingenuity. We will always seek to anticipate market trends and move quickly to embrace them. We will never be apprehensive when it comes to taking thoughtful, responsible risk.

There is no cost to access any of the content contained herein. That includes the feature stories, photo galleries, and interactive forums. If you wish to participate in our posting forums, we may ask that you create a unique user-name and keep confidential the password you select to access your account. We keep our content free by generating the majority of our revenue by offering advertisers measurable, cost-effective and highly relevant advertising. That is done by displaying ads that are useful to the people who see them, as well as to the companies that purchase the space in which they appear.

You expressly understand and agree that AventuraBusinessMonthly.com shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if AventuraBusinessMonthly.com has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from either: (a) the use or the ability to use this website or another website that we may now or in the future publish; (b) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information, or services purchased and/or obtained, or messages received or transactions entered into through or from this website or any website that we may in the future publish; (c) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transactions/interactions or data; (d) statements or conduct of any third-party, registered user/member of our posting forums, or outside agency, on this website or any website that we may in the future publish; and (3) any other matter relating to this website or any website that we may in the future publish.

For PCs, we recommend viewing our website with one of the following browser-types: Firefox 3.6+, AOL 9.1, Chrome 8.0, or Safari 5.0.3. (If you must use an IE browser, please be sure to have version 8.0 or newer installed. We strongly discourage use of IE 7.0 or earlier versions).

MAC users should utilize: Safari 1.2.3+, Netscape 7.2+, or Mozilla 1.7.3+. In the event it appears content has not been updated, it would be best to first click the reload button on your browser. Also, most web browsers operate on a cache system, which means they hold previously loaded web pages in your computer's memory. Therefore when you go to access a previously loaded page, the browser occasionally retrieves information from the cache rather than downloading the page again (in order to receive updated information, you must sometimes clear both the memory and disk caches. Since there is a variety of browsers in production, the procedure for clearing your cache will vary from other users). You can often find the cache element under your browser's "Preferences" or "Options" menu.
