Restriction on Use and Web Link Procedures

Subject to the policies and procedures set forth herein, DEBORAH encourages individuals, chapters, groups and organizations to link to our Web site as an informational and educational resource.

However, every Web site that refers to or uses the name DEBORAH must accept the responsibility of maintaining and promoting the goodwill and reputation that DEBORAH has developed over the years. Although we, at DEBORAH, encourage the interaction and exchange of information between and among our Web site and links to other sites, no individual, chapter, group or organization (sometimes collectively referred to as, “Licensee”) will be allowed to refer or use the name DEBORAH without first obtaining DEBORAH’s approval and prior written permission. To obtain DEBORAH’s permission, you can complete the attached application and submit the application to DEBORAH’s Executive Offices [click here for the application]. DEBORAH reserves the right to revoke any permission given to a Licensee to refer or use the name DEBORAH or any of our other service marks and logos, at any time and for any or no reason, in DEBORAH’s sole discretion.

Any Licensee Web site that refers to or uses the name DEBORAH will cause to appear on the last page of its Web site and on any legal notices, disclaimers or similar page of such Web site, a notice to the following effect:

“DEBORAH” and the Heart and D logo and any other DEBORAH trademarks that Licensee is authorized to use are registered trademarks of DEBORAH Heart and Lung Center.”

Because DEBORAH has no control over links to other Web sites or resources, all users of the DEBORAH Web site acknowledge and agree that DEBORAH is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources.

Linking to DEBORAH's Web site:

In addition to obtaining the prior written authorization of DEBORAH to refer to or use the name DEBORAH on other Web sites, we require that all Licensees provide a link between their Web sites to DEBORAH’s Web site. This will help ensure that any information provided by a Licensee to a user about DEBORAH is complete, current and accurate. Because Licensees will post an access link to DEBORAH’s Web site, users of Licensee Web sites will have the ability to verify information presented to them about DEBORAH.

Licensees are prohibited from establishing a link to this Web site without first obtaining the express written permission of DEBORAH. Any sites linked to this Web site may have different terms of use, so all users should refer to those sites to obtain their restrictions on use. DEBORAH has not reviewed or confirmed the accuracy or reliability of any linked sites to its Web site and is not responsible for their content. Accessing linked sites is at your own risk. Any sites linked to DEBORAH’s Web site should not be deemed as a recommendation or endorsement by DEBORAH of any service, product, message, organization, entity, claim, or representation or any personal, religious or political opinion or affiliation contained in such linked sites.

Any sites linked to this Web site shall not contain any defamatory, misleading or offensive content. DEBORAH, at its sole discretion, may modify or terminate a Licensee’s or any user’s utilization of its Web site at any time, for any or no reason, and without notice or any liability to any Licensee, user or third party.

DEBORAH reserves the right to modify its “Internet Policy and Disclaimer” from time to time without notice. All users should review this policy from time to time so that they will be apprised of any changes.

Donations:

DEBORAH does not authorize any users and Licensees to seek donations on the Internet on behalf of DEBORAH without the prior written authorization of DEBORAH’s Executive Director. However, in the event that any Licensee Web sites are successful in encouraging individuals and other parties to donate to DEBORAH directly by linking from the Licensee to DEBORAH’s own Web site, recognition will be given to such Licensee, as determined by DEBORAH, in its sole discretion, in accordance with DEBORAH’s policies and procedures.
