Copyright:  Friends In Touch ©2001-2008

Limitation of Liability

You expressly understand and agree that Friends In Touch Care Team shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or any other damages whatsoever, including but not limited to, damages for loss of goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages), arising out of, or resulting from, (a) the use or the inability to use this website; (b) the use of any content or other material on this website or any website or websites linked to this website; (c) unauthorized access to or alteration of your data; (d) statements or conduct of any person on this website; or (e) any other matter relating to this website.  If you are dissatisfied with any portion of this website, or with any of provision of this agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy is the discontinuation of your use of this website.

Copyright

All material, including graphics, photos, stories, poems, messages and any other writing on our site is copyrighted and should not be used for any purpose without written permission from the publisher/author.   Our graphics are registered with www.greatkris.com and www.maryslittlelamb.com and are not available for download or copying for any reason.  Distribution or reproduction is strictly prohibited.  All other copyrights belong to their respective owners.   The management cannot be held responsible for members who choose to upload pictures that have copyrights placed upon them.  We reserve the right to delete, without warning, any pictures, posts, or photo albums which contain copyrighted or known infringements. 

You may NOT copy and paste graphics directly from another internet site - that is bandwidth stealing, and is also a big NO-NO with MSN, and ALL internet sites.  For clarification on Copyright issues, Click below:

                                                         

Site Content

Every attempt is made to insure accurate content on this site.  As hard as we try, there is no guarantee that the information provided is 100% accurate.  In addition, the reader must take full responsibility for their health and how they use information found here.  Friends In Touch and its managers expressly disclaim responsibility for any adverse effects resulting from the use of the information contained on our website.  This includes links to other sites as well.  

Friends In Touch was designed to be a resource for women and their families who are dealing with cancer.  It does not, in any way, replace the professional advice of a physician.  The views expressed here are for the sole purpose of support and are not endorsed by any organization or intended to provide medical counsel.    The views are also those of adults and should not be viewed by children.  Our site is closed to minors to protect them from discussions regarding the adult anatomy while sharing breast cancer experiences.

Your health is important.  Use our site wisely.  Discuss any alternative treatment options with your doctor.  Remember that most alternative methods have not been investigated or approved by any government or regulatory agency.   Our referrals to sites regarding alternative care are simply for your information.  All discussions and links concerning alternative care should be posted in our Complimentary Care section for review.  This site should never be a substitution for the advice and treatment of a physician or other health care professional.   We are not a professional organization and are not trying to practice medicine on our site.  We are merely a group of friends who have gathered together to help one another.  All opinions expressed are just that....opinions...and cannot be trusted as medically sound advice.  Always consult your Oncologist before trying anything different.

Message Posts and  Chat

Any information shared by the members is strictly by their choice, and the managers of Friends In Touch are not responsible for the content posted on our message boards or exchanged through e-mails from this site, or for any statements made in the Chat room.  While we adhere to strict posting policies, we cannot always catch every offense before it happens.  If you should see offensive behavior on the message boards,  or experience harassment  or are otherwise uncomfortable with someone/something going on in the Chat room, or through e-mail communications with another member, please alert the management as soon as possible.  

Friends In Touch does not tolerate harassment of any nature.  Please report any suspicious behavior from the message boards or chat rooms to the management at Friends In Touch Managers or to MSN.  The appropriate steps will be taken to ban that person from our site as well as report their actions to MSN for review.  Read more about our chat guidelines posted here.

Friends In Touch is rated "Mature" due to the nature of breast cancer discussions.  It is NOT rated "Adult", and therefore, anything of an explicit or graphic nature (posts, jokes, pictures, etc.) will be deleted by the management.  This is in accordance with MSN guidelines.  If anything of this nature is found on our site and not deleted, MSN has the right to delete our entire site without notice.

Privacy Statement / Spamming / Links

Please respect our no-spam policy.  Spamming is the act of posting ads or links to sites without permission.  Friends In Touch does not authorize individuals to post advertisements on our boards or in our chat rooms which have not been previewed and accepted by the management.   Please contact Friends In Touch Managers if you wish to speak to a manager about posting a link to another site.  
Information submitted to this site will be used solely for the stated purposes. This information will not be traded, sold, or otherwise made public by the site owner or management.

Inclusion of any link does not imply an endorsement of the site.   No links should be posted on the message boards unless approved by the management.

Sharing Info on the Web / Private Meetings

PLEASE be careful sharing personal information with anyone on the internet.    Anything you post on our site is open to the public's view.  If you choose to share info, you must do so at your own risk.   Management cannot be held responsible for the posts that members choose to make. 
 
We do not authorize or suggest meeting members in the real world, but if you choose to do so, arrange a large meeting where several members would be present.  If you choose to meet outside of our site, please plan to take family members along with you...so you would never be meeting alone.  It is also prudent to hold your get togethers in a PUBLIC PLACE which is safe at all times.  This information is not provided to cause alarm, but to ensure that you have a positive experience.  
 
While the management at Friends In Touch takes every precaution in accepting members into our group, we cannot be held responsible for people who misrepresent themselves on the web - and this does happen.   We also cannot be responsible for any actions taken by members or management of the Friends In Touch group.   Remember:  Always take the proper precautions if you choose to meet in person or share personal information on the web.  Be leary of people who try to request money or information from you that you do not feel comfortable sharing.  Never, ever give your password out to any one who requests it.   The management has been instructed to never ask you for your password at any time.

Thank you in advance for adherring to our site rules and regulations.  Anyone refusing to accept these terms will be subject to immediate removal from our membership.   We reserve the right to ban or cancel the membership of anyone who is not upholding the strict standards of our community without giving reason or explanation.
