Discussion can be animated, which is fine, but we do not welcome personal attacks, on- or off-site. It is inappropriate to say anything on a discussion forum about any individual or entity that you would not be prepared to say to them face-to-face.

It is fine to disagree with a different viewpoint, but please limit this to challenging the idea and not make your comments a personal challenge or make derogatory personal comments about individuals, their ideas or their situation. The latter is considered to be a flame and will not be tolerated.

By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

The owners of ConductDisorders.com reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.

2. THIS FORUM'S SERVICE. The forum Service is an online application, enabling individuals to join and participate in customized and personalized discussion groups.

3. CONTENT ACCESSIBLE ON THE SERVICE. This web site and the service provided thereby consist of a very large number and variety and forms of expressive thought, including but not limited to information, other data, personal and general messages, pictures, cartoons, drawings, animations audio files, video files, creative, expressive and non-expressive works and other materials, each of which shall collectively be referred to as the (the "Content") of this web site and of this service. With the exception of the TERMS OF SERVICE, the Home page, superstructure of the web site itself, and editorial comments (the “Edits”) are placed on the web site directly by the people who visit the web site and who post such Content on it. Said Content is not reviewed, revised, edited, redacted, or changed in any way, except as otherwise provided herein. Therefore, no warrant is made by the owners or providers of this forum as to the truth, accuracy, value, legality, illegality, appropriateness, or advisability of said Content. Since no review is done by the owners of this web site and this service, YOU agree that said owners, administrators, service providers, hosts and hosting services, server providers, space providers, internet access providers and all of their representatives, attorneys, agents and servants are not responsible for Content. The only people who are responsible for Content are the actual natural persons who post Content. Because the owners of the web site and service providers are not responsible for Content, YOU further agree to hold them and each of them harmless, and to indemnify and defend them with respect to any dispute or complaint regarding Content.

Because YOU understand and agree that all Content posted on the service is the exclusive responsibility of the person who posted or uploaded it, YOU will be solely responsible for each, every and all of the Content that YOU upload, post, email or otherwise submit or transmit to or via the service. Since YOU acknowledge that the owners and service providers are not responsible for, do not control, do not endorse and do not verify the Content posted to the service or which may be available from or through the service, and that said owners and service providers make no guarantee regarding the reliability, accuracy, legitimacy or quality of any such Content, YOU therefore agree that YOU will stand in the owners and service providers stead in the event Content posted, uploaded, emailed or otherwise submitted or transmitted to or through the service by YOU, with respect to all claims directed to or against said owners and service providers. YOU further agree that you will bear the sole cost associated with such indemnity and defense. YOU agree that YOU will bear any and all risk of reliance on the accuracy, validity or legitimacy of such Content.

Under no circumstances shall ConductDisorders.com or this web site be liable in any way to YOU for any Content, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted or otherwise transmitted to or through this service. YOUR agreement to this Section 3 is a condition precedent to your using this service either by (1) reading or viewing Content, or (2) posting or providing Content to or through the service.

Since YOU acknowledge that the owners and administrators and service providers who make this web site and service available do not pre-screen Content, YOU further agree that there might be some Content which, by its very nature, is illegal in some places, illegal in all places, inappropriate or defamatory or injurious of the rights of other people (“Bad Content”). Since YOU agree that Bad Content is not necessarily protected speech or expression, it is subject to reasonable time, place and manner restrictions by the government or governments of competent jurisdiction. Therefore, in the event a complaint is proffered to the web site by or through a governmental entity or by any other person or entity who can make a prima facie showing that the suspected Content is indeed Bad Content, then YOU agree that the owners, administrators, or service providers may determine, in their sole discretion, to edit, redact, reduce, remove, or retract any and all Content YOU have posted or provided. YOU specifically grant to the owners, administrators, and service providers the right to remove what they determine, in their sole discretion to be Bad Content in exchange for and in consideration of the right to read, view, and otherwise further visit this web site. YOU further agree that, in the event the owners, administrators, or service providers determine that YOU have posted or provided Bad Content, that YOUR permission to access this web site or service may be suspended or terminated without further notice, with no right of review or appeal whatsoever. YOU agree to this because you agree that this web sight and service shall have the right (but not the obligation) to access the web site Content, to remove or restrict access to any Content on the web site, in its sole discretion and without further notice or compensation to YOU. YOU further acknowledge and agree that this web site or service may preserve or disclose any Content if it believes disclosure is required by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce this Agreement; (c) respond to claims that any Content violates the rights of third-parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the web site, the service, the service providers, the owners, their representatives, attorneys, assigns, or the web site or service users, or to protect the public.
