Terms and Conditions of Membership

These terms and conditions may be revised at any time without prior notice; by becoming a member of this forum, you are deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions. Breach of terms and conditions could result in banning.

We reserve the right not to give written reasons for exclusion should we feel it unnecessary.

Forum Rules & Etiquette

The most basic rule is: deal with other forum members in the manner in which you would wish to be dealt with.

Please be aware of cyber-safety and be careful when disclosing personal details, phone numbers etc. It is probably best to exchange such personal information in private messages rather than out on the board in the public domain.

Please do not share the details of your password with any other member. The Administrator and Moderators will never ask for your password.

We never pass personal information gathered on joining this forum to third parties and likewise, no such information is ever divulged to other forum members.

All posts are read at the discretion of the members. The board does not endorse any information given. The administrator and moderators cannot be held responsible for comments made by forum members within posts. Posts are the opinions and points of view of individual members and as such they are alone are solely liable.

You are responsible for your own posts along with any information or material used by you. In respect of information sourced from elsewhere, please ensure that you either obtain the permission of the author or at the very least that you acknowledge the author when including their work in your post. Administrators and moderators will remove any thread or post which is felt to be unsuitable; their decision will be final.

Anything deemed to be rude or offensive will be removed; this includes offensive language, inappropriate posts/images, and anything which abuses a person's race, gender, sexuality, age or religion. Anyone doing so will be given a warning and runs the risk of being banned from the board. Should you have a problem with something posted, then please contact the Administrator or one of the Moderators and we will endeavour to sort things out.

Making public the contents of Private Messages will not be tolerated. Any member who ignores this rule will be banned from the board.

Insulting or bullying of other members on the boards, through personal messages or via email will not be tolerated. Should you find yourself the victim of such behaviour then please contact the Administrator or a Moderator immediately.

So-called "Trolls" will be removed from the forum without delay.

We operate a strict policy of only one user name/email address per member.

Whilst we are happy for members to provide links to home-businesses they may be involved in, we request that you don't use this forum as a platform for commercial advertising, recruitment , etc. Any such blatant advertising will be removed immediately. We allow forum members to have links in their signatures to their home-businesses, blogs, etc. If in doubt then do please contact the Administrator or one of the Moderators.

We do hope that you have not been put off after reading all this! Most of the forum rules are simply plain old good manners and commonsense but it is helpful to have something to refer to.

We are looking forward to meeting you in the ChangeYourLife~ChangeTheWorld forum and hope that you will enjoy being a member!

Sharon & Amanda
