Baby's Breath Online Forum Rules
Note: These rules set out the terms for use of the current and any future discussion forums or web communications run on our website or our Facebook page or Twitter account (all Forums). Any submission of material by you to any Baby's Breath Forum implies that you have read and understood these Rules and means that you accept, and agree to abide by, all the terms and conditions of these Rules.
All Baby's Breath Forums are public, and we do not guarantee privacy or anonymity with regard to anything posted on any of our forums. We are not liable for any detriment suffered by any individual through reliance on any material in our Forums.

We expressly exclude our liability for any loss, liability or damage arising from the use of the Board by any person in contravention of these rules. We reserve the right to promptly remove, or to disable access to, any submitted content which we deem to be potentially defamatory of any person, unlawful or in violation of any third-party rights.
3. USE OF THE BOARD BY MINORS
3.1 The use of the Board by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian.
4. CONTENT / CONDUCT
4.1 Participants are responsible for the content of any submission to the Forums.

The Forums shall not be used to collect views on issues unrelated to the interests of Baby's Breath.

Disruptive, offensive or abusive behaviour will not be tolerated by Baby's Breath. Baby's Breath shall exercise its sole discretion and powers as moderator to take whatever steps may be required to ensure respectful Forums are maintained.
4.4 The role of the Forums is to encourage compassionate communication and greater understanding for all interested participants. The Forums Baby's Breath operates are generally not intended for debate. Any behaviour that deters other members from engaging with the Baby's Breath online community will be considered offensive at the sole discretion of Baby's Breath, and rectified to whatever extent Baby's Breath chooses, including the banning of certain contributors if necessary.
4.5 No participant or party has the permission to promote any products or activities through Baby's Breath Forums. We reserve the right to remove information or references to information that we do not endorse.
4.6 When posting material on Forums, you are responsible for ensuring that all such material is free of any libellous or discriminatory statements of any form. Baby's Breath will be the sole judge of what is considered libellous or discriminatory, and Baby's Breath's judgment on these matters shall be consistent with guidelines provided by Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. No submission to any Forum may harass, embarrass, annoy or alarm any other participants, and no submission may attempt to impersonate or misrepresent any other person or group, including Baby's Breath.
