You hereby agree that your reliance upon any content or information distributed through or accessed from the Sites is at your sole risk.

We are not responsible for the availability of any other site to which any of the Sites links. We do not endorse or take responsibility for the contents, advertising, products or other materials made available through any other site.

Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, will we or any of our licensors or suppliers be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials on the sites, or any products or services provided pursuant to the sites, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold our organization and all our affiliates, employees, directors, officers, agents, material or communication providers, and internet service providers harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, claims, expenses, and damage awards, including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees, that arise from any claim, action, or demand, by your use of or in connection with submission, transmission, posting, broadcast, or other communication with or to the Sites.

The reference materials and information contained in the Sites are intended only for your personal information. We make no representations or warranties about the Sites’s content or the information or other material accessed through the Sites.

 

Information Obtained Through the Sites Does Not Constitute Medical, Legal, or Other Professional Advice

The information contained in these Sites or transmitted to you electronically in response to a message from you is not intended nor implied to constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always visit or speak to a qualified health service provider in person prior to starting any new treatment or with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. These Sites do not directly or indirectly practice medicine or dispense medical advice as part of this service. In addition, nothing contained in these Sites is intended to be or constitutes legal advice, and users should always seek the advice of an appropriate attorney or other professional regarding individual questions or concerns of a legal or professional nature. We assume no liability for any diagnosis, treatment, decision made, or action taken in reliance upon information contained in these Sites or any other internet sites linked to it in any way.

 

Parental Permission

Some of the information available on the Sites concerns the topic of sex and may not be appropriate for children. Further, the Sites are not directed to children under the age of 13 and we will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. We strongly recommend that parents participate in their children’s exploration of the internet and any online services and use their browser’s parental controls to limit the areas of the internet to which their children have access.

Our organization is recognized by the IRS as a ministry exempt from taxation under Section501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code, and gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

 

Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of the users of our Sites. This privacy policy will advise you about how we protect your personal information, and about what choices you have concerning our use of such information. By using our Sites, you consent to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, now and as amended by us.

 

Personal Identification Information

We may request personal identification information from you in connection with your use of, or participation in, scheduling appointments, communications, requests for information or requests for free products or services or additional information (including via email to us), and in connection with other activities, services or resources we make available on any of our sites. In all of these cases, we will collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will never intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you as an individual user (such as, for example, your full name, street address, telephone number, or email address) to any third party without having received your permission. We do not sell or otherwise share your data with third parties. Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process. We may share with others aggregated demographic information not linked to any personally identifiable.

 

To Whom We Disclose Your Information

We may disclose the information we collect from or about you:

• to our affiliates;

• to service providers who work on our behalf;

• as required by law;

• when required to protect our rights or your safety or the safety of others, or to detect, prevent, or respond to misuse of our Sites.

In addition, we may share de-identified information, such as reports on user demographics and traffic patterns, with third parties, including researchers.

 

Chat Rooms, Message Boards, and Public Forums

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online — for example through email, that information can be collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

 

Security

We take every precaution to protect users’ information. When users submit sensitive information  we take great effort to ensure their information is protected both online and offline. When our registration/donor/appointment/chat form asks users to enter sensitive information that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software we are aware of in the industry.
