7. USER RULES
In order to maintain an informative and valuable service that meets the needs of the viewers and avoids harm to others, it is necessary to establish and for you to follow these User Rules:

a. THE USER MAY DOWNLOAD, PRINT, OR TRANSMIT INFORMATION FROM THE REAL LIFE. REAL TALK.® WEB SITE FOR PERSONAL, PRIVATE USE AND ONLY IF THE USER MAKES SURE THAT THE PROPER COPYRIGHT NOTICE — for example, ©2007, PLANNED PARENTHOOD FEDERATION OF AMERICA, INC. — IS INCLUDED TO EACH COPY TRANSMITTED OR PRINTED. IN NO CASE MAY THE MATERIALS BE REPRODUCED IN BULK OR FOR COMMERCIAL USE WITHOUT EXPRESS, WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM:

Social Marketing Staff, PPFA, 434 WEST 33RD STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10001 or e-mail socialmarketing@ppfa.org.

b. Users may not submit or transmit any message that is libelous or defamatory, or violates any other person's copyrights, privacy or publicity rights, trademarks, trade secrets, or rights in other confidential information. The User indemnifies PPFA (that means the User is financially responsible to PPFA) for any and all damages suffered by third parties as a result of the User's violation of this paragraph.

c. Users may not submit or transmit any message, data, image, or program with the intent to threaten the safety of others or to cause others to feel that they are being threatened.

d. PPFA does not intend to discourage Users from taking controversial positions or expressing vigorously what may be unpopular views; however, PPFA reserves the right to take such action as it deems appropriate in cases where the website is inappropriately used to disseminate statements or materials that are reasonably construed as abusive, destructive, harmful, or threatening to the safety of others.

e. Users may not interfere with other Users' use of the realliferealtalk.org website, including, without limitation, disrupting the normal flow or use of the service.

f. Users may not post or transmit any file which contains "viruses," "worms," "Trojan horse" or any other contaminating or destructive features.

g. It is PPFA's general policy to protect the privacy of the persons transmitting any messages to PPFA. By sending a submission to realliferealtalk.org, the User automatically authorizes realiferealtalk.org and PPFA to read it, edit it, and publish it on the Web site or any of our future publications and authorize other organizations to publish it. This means your submission can be read all over the world and downloaded and copied, as well as in other online or offline forms. If you don't want your question, article or other materials to be posted and read by others, do not submit it. Before posting a submission on the site, PPFA may edit it — lightly or heavily — in order to make it clear or to try to preserve anonymity. You can do your part by editing it yourself first to eliminate anything that might identify you or other people mentioned in your submission. PPFA is not obligated to and makes no representation that it will publish and/or edit any particular submission. Furthermore, all of the material you submit must be your own creation — not copied from someone or something else. Once a submission is published on the website, PPFA may take it down for any or no reason.

We reserve the right to remove any information that is posted in violation of these terms.
