Terms and Conditions
This
web site and discussion board are provided to you as a
public service.
Whether this
is your first time on-line or you're a seasoned user,
we've spelled out our house rules for you here. Generally
speaking, these rules simply require respect and good
manners. Use common sense, and you'll feel right at
home.
Our specific house rules are:
1. The information on our web site is provided
"as is" without warranties either expressed or
implied. Our web site's information is intended for
educational purposes only.
2. We cannot and do not guarantee, warranty or
otherwise affirm the accuracy of any information provided

full responsibility for their interpretation of this
information. Parents of Children With Lyme disclaims
responsibility for all consequences, including
negligence, due to one's actions, and/or lack thereof,
based on their understanding of this information.
4. Opinions posted on the our discussion board, as
well as other content published with an attribution,
represent the views of the authors and are not
necessarily the opinion of the Parents of Children With
Lyme.
5. We
operate by the rated G rules of the movies, so we don't
allow obscene, racist, or sexually explicit language. We
also reserve the right to remove postings that defame or
insult anyone, and notes that are abusive or hateful. Any
harassing notes or postings that might be construed as
stalking will be deleted and made available to the proper
law-enforcement officials. We also reserve the right to
remove notes that are off the subject or not in English.
6. No solicitations or advertisements are allowed.
This includes advertisements for your business or latest
get-rich-quick scheme and any solicitation with respect
to products or services. Such notes add clutter and
devalue conversation.
7. You may not suggest or encourage illegal
activity. Parents of Children With Lyme will assist
law-enforcement officials.
8. Users shall not post or transmit through our
discussion board any material which violates or infringes
in any way upon the rights of others, which is unlawful,
threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or
publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise
objectionable, which encourages conduct that would
constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil
liability or otherwise violate any law. Any conduct by a
user that in our discretion restricts or inhibits any
other user from using or enjoying our web site or
discussion board will not be permitted.
9. You must respect the privacy of individuals.
This means no posting of phone numbers, addresses, Social
Security numbers, or any other private information.
10. Having good manners online means that you don't post
the same note more than once. The on-line word for
posting many times on one topic is "spamming."
We don't allow that.

boards, in chat, and in e-mail. All chats are monitored
by Parents of Children With Lyme staff members. You take
