ChildhoodLoss reserves the right to remove communications that are abusive, illegal, disruptive or that otherwise fail to conform with these Terms and Conditions.

If ChildhoodLoss offers the option of private email messages between users through a Community Forum or elsewhere on its Web site, ChildhoodLoss may not be able to monitor the content of those communications from a technical standpoint, and does not plan to monitor those communications, so users should be particularly aware of the risks of inappropriate content. ChildhoodLoss shall have no responsibility or liability for private email messages among users, or any consequences arising from such messages.

ChildhoodLoss reserves the right to employ filters to automatically screen out postings or information which ChildhoodLoss deem inappropriate based on search terms it has chosen to “flag” inappropriate content (which may include some personally identifiable information in ChildhoodLoss’ discretion).

ChildhoodLoss does not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy or reliability of any of the material posted by Community Forum users or endorse any opinions expressed by such users. ANY RELIANCE UPON CONTENT POSTED IN A COMMUNITY FORUM IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Any public or restricted Community Forum areas are for discussion and debate only. You may not use any Community Forum area to post or transmit advertisements or commercial solicitations of any kind. You may not post or transmit any material of any nature, including text, audio, software, animation or photographs, belonging to any person or party other than yourself, without the prior written consent of such owner. Simply because material is available on the Internet does not mean it is in the public domain. The vast majority of materials on the Internet are protected by copyright and trademark laws. ChildhoodLoss shall have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any Community Forum areas of the Web site to determine compliance with these Terms and Conditions and any other operating rules that may be established by ChildhoodLoss from time to time.

By posting messages or other material in any Community Forum areas of the Web site, you are granting to ChildhoodLoss and its licensees a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive and irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display any posting by you (in whole or in part) and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media or technology now known or hereafter developed.

Through your use of the ChildhoodLoss Community Forums, you are agreeing to all of the aforementioned terms and conditions for such Community Forums contained herein.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless ChildhoodLoss and its officers, directors, affiliated companies, employees, volunteers, agents, licensors and suppliers, from and against any and all claims, actions or demands, liabilities and settlements, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, resulting from, or alleged to result from, Your use of any Community Forums or use by others of any community forums with respect to you, including, without limitation, any claim of libel, defamation, harassment, violation of rights of privacy or publicity, loss of service or infringement of intellectual property or other rights, or violation of these Terms and Conditions.

  1. CHILDHOODLOSS PRIVACY POLICY

For each visitor to the Web site, ChildhoodLoss’ servers automatically collect information about which pages are visited. This information is used for internal review, to tailor information to individual visitors and for Website traffic audits. We may also provide this information (as well as information from third-party market researchers) about our users on an aggregated, anonymous basis to our advertisers or sponsors.

ChildhoodLoss may place a “cookie” on the browser of Your computer. The cookie itself does not contain any personally identifying information. A cookie may be used to tell when your computer has contacted the Website. ChildhoodLoss uses the information for editorial purposes and for other purposes such as delivery of features and advertisements, so ChildhoodLoss can customize delivery of information to you without compromising privacy. For example, cookies may be used to ensure that you will not see the same banner advertisement too often in a single session.

ChildhoodLoss may, in the course of providing services through its Website, ask You to disclose voluntarily certain information about Yourself. This could include information that identifies You or Your household. Any information in ChildhoodLoss’ possession solely as a result of Your use of the Website and that is associated with you or your household is considered “Personal Information.” It consists of both information supplied by you (e.g. name, address, telephone number and e-mail address) and information collected about how you use the Web site (e.g. the fact that you have bought merchandise through the Web site). ‘Personal Information’ does not include statistical data about large numbers of users, none of whom are identifiable, nor does it include information that you have posted for public view on the Website (either generally, or in areas available to only some visitors) or otherwise publicly disclosed.

ChildhoodLoss uses Personal Information only for purposes necessary to provide the Web site and other products and services to you. These purposes are:

  • To process requests or orders placed with advertisers or merchants;
  • to perform such normal business operations as billing, collecting and accounting;
  • to personalize and publicize the Web site based on your interests, including making you aware of editorial features, advertisements and commercial items; and
  • to investigate complaints and to protect the Web site and ChildhoodLoss, its users, officers, directors, employees, agents or volunteers as provided by law or in case of emergency, as determined by legal counsel for ChildhoodLoss.

Except as necessary to process your requests or orders placed with advertisers or merchants featured on the Web site, ChildhoodLoss does not rent, sell, barter or give away any lists containing Personal Information for use by any outside company. ChildhoodLoss also respects the privacy of data on your personal computer and does not access, read, upload or store data contained in or derived from your private files without your authorization.

  1. Opt Out Procedures

You may always opt out of receiving future mailings or other information from ChildhoodLoss. If the mailing does not have an e-mail cancellation form, send a letter to Dr. Elva Edwards, at the address listed above in Clause # 12 and Clause # 15 detailing the type of information that you no longer desire to receive.

  1. Children’s Privacy

The following additional terms, conditions and notices apply to use of the Web site by children under the age of 14 years whenever ChildhoodLoss becomes aware that a user is in that age range:

  • Users under 14 years of age may not submit or post information on the Web site without the consent of the user’s parent or legal guardian. Prior to collecting any personal information about a child under 14, ChildhoodLoss makes reasonable efforts to obtain consent from the child’s parent after informing the parent about the types of information ChildhoodLoss will collect, how it will be used, and under what circumstances it will be disclosed.
  • Although ChildhoodLoss will apply these children’s terms and conditions whenever it becomes aware that a user who submits Personal Information is less than 14 years old, no method is foolproof. ChildhoodLoss strongly encourages parents and guardians to supervise their children’s online activities and consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers to help provide a child-friendly online environment. These tools also can prevent children from disclosing online their name, address, and other personal information without parental permission.
  • “Personal information” collected from children may include any of the information defined above as “Personal Information” with respect to general users of the Web site and may be used by ChildhoodLoss for the same purposes. Except as necessary to process a child’s requests or orders placed with advertisers or merchants featured on the Website, ChildhoodLoss does not rent, sell, barter or give away any lists containing a child’s Personal Information for use by any outside company.
  • If a child enters a game, contest, poll or other activity sponsored by ChildhoodLoss on the Website, the child may be required by ChildhoodLoss to provide the minimum Personal Information reasonably necessary for the child to participate in such activity.
  • A child’s parent or legal guardian may request ChildhoodLoss to provide a description of the Personal Information that ChildhoodLoss has collected from the child, as well as instruct ChildhoodLoss to cease further use, maintenance and collection of Personal Information from the child.
  • If a child voluntarily discloses his or her name, e-mail address or other personally-identifying information on chat areas, bulletin boards or other forums or public posting areas, such disclosures may result in unsolicited messages from other parties.
