Updated August 26, 2022

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, AND OBLIGATIONS. THESE INCLUDE VARIOUS LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS, AND A DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE THAT GOVERNS HOW DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation service and community networks (collectively, “NBCF”, or “the Service”) are operated by the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., a Texas 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, and its corporate affiliates (collectively, “NBCF,” “us,” “we,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) are an agreement between NBCF and you and govern your use of the Website (as defined below) and all information on or submitted through the Website. By accessing or using our Website at www.nationalbreastcancer.org, any sub domains or microsites, (collectively, “the Website”), or by posting a NBCF banner on your site, you (the “User”) signify that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, in order to access and use the Service or the Website. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Service at any time without further notice. If we do this, we will post the changes to these Terms of Service on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised, which shall constitute reasonable notice of such changes. Your continued use of the Service or the Website after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Service, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Service or the Website. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Website to determine if there have been changes to these Terms of Service and to review such changes. Do not use the Website if you do not agree to the Terms or if your jurisdiction will not honor them.

You understand that your use of the Website, registration on the Website, or use of this or any other NBCF website, mobile app, online portal, electronic forms, surveys, and interactive exhibits managed by NBCF constitutes your agreement to these Terms, including but not limited to NBCF’s Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy (collectively, the “Privacy Notice”) as amended from time to time.

Eligibility

Membership in the Service is void where prohibited. This Site is intended solely for Users who are thirteen (13) years of age or older. Any registration by, use of, or access to the Website by anyone under 13 is unauthorized, unlicensed, and in violation of these Terms of Service. By using the Service or the Website, you represent and warrant that you are 13 or older and that you agree to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. NBCF may terminate your membership, delete your profile and any content or information that you have posted on the Website, and/or prohibit you from using or accessing the Service or the Website (or any portion, aspect, or feature of the Service or the Website) for any reason, at any time in its sole discretion, with or without notice, including without limitation if we believe that you are under 13.

Registration, Account Security, and Attribution of Electronic Arts

For some areas of the Website, you may have to complete a registration process or create a profile. Completion of the process will usually create an account with a username and password or other identifier which you agree to guard as confidential information—if you are careless with it, others may be able to access the information. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information at all times. You also agree that you will review, maintain, correct, and update such information in a timely manner to maintain its accuracy and completeness by using the means allowed for the relevant information or, when appropriate, by contacting us. If you provide (or NBCF has reasonable grounds to believe that you provided) any information that is inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, NBCF may suspend or terminate your access, in addition to exercising all rights and remedies allowed by law.

You agree that all uses of the identifier established for you during a registration or similar process will be attributed to and legally bind you and may be relied upon by us and our agents, affiliates, and other third parties with whom we work in order to provide the Website, Content, services, or pursue our mission (including but not limited to our and their respective affiliates, officers, employees and agents) (collectively “Third Parties”), as being a use made by you, even if someone else used your identifier.

You are solely responsible for the photos, profiles, messages, notes, text, information, music, video, advertisements, and other content that you upload, publish, or display (hereinafter, “post”) on or through the Service or the Website, including social media or other online platforms, or transmit to or share with other Users (collectively the “User Content”).

By posting User Content to any part of the Website, including social media or other online platforms, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to NBCF an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part), and distribute such User Content for any purpose on or in connection with the Website or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, in any format or media (whether now known or hereafter created) throughout the world, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. Once you have posted User Content to any part of the Website, including social media or other online platforms, you may not be able to remove it.  By posting User Content on the Website, including social media or other online platforms, you represent to NBCF that you own or have the right to use and permit NBCF to use such User Content in the manner noted above.  This shall include any pictures you post on the Website, including social media or other online platforms, that include individuals other than yourself or any videos you post that contain images, names, or voices of individuals other than yourself.

In the event you change or deactivate your mobile telephone number, you will update your account information on the Website within 48 hours to ensure that your messages are not sent to the person who acquires your old number.

Medical Disclaimer

You understand and agree that the information and materials on the Website, whether originating from NBCF, from postings and other User Content, or from Third-Party Content, are provided “as is” for general information only and without warranties of any kind. Regardless of its source, the information and materials on the Website should not be considered medical advice, should not be used for self-diagnosis, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for regular consultations with qualified health professionals who are familiar with your individual medical history and needs. NBCF does not recommend you attempt to treat yourself, your family, or someone you know without proper medical supervision. Healthcare information changes rapidly and thus, the materials on the Website should not be relied upon to be fully comprehensive or error-free. NBCF does not recommend, endorse, or make any warranties or representations of any kind with regard to the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or efficacy of any of the procedures, programs, materials, products, postings, or other information provided on the Website.

You agree that you will not use the Service to seek medical advice or to give medical advice, and that any such use of the Service is a violation of these Terms of Service.  To report a violation, contact us.  You understand that any medical question you may have should be discussed immediately with a qualified health professional.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) may regulate and limit the use and disclosure of your private health information by certain healthcare institutions.  However, you should know that the HIPAA regulations apply to information gathered in the treatment of patients and not to information gathered by NBCF. For additional information regarding the treatment of personal information gathered by NBCF please see our Privacy Policy

Personal and Third-Party Appeals Prohibited

You agree that you will not use the Service or the Website to solicit for, raise funds for, advertise or promote your own goods, services, causes, organizations, foundations, or charities (collectively, “Personal Appeals”), and you further agree that you will not use the Service or the Website to solicit for, raise funds for, advertise or promote the goods, services, causes, organizations, foundations, or charities of others (collectively, “Third-Party Appeals”) including, without limitation, other breast cancer-related organizations, foundations, or charities. You further agree you will not upload, post, embed, transmit, share, store, or otherwise make available any content on the Website that offers, promotes, links to, advertises, or in any way solicits donations or contributions, whether in cash, goods, or in kind, for you or for any fundraising activity, charity, or other type of personal, private, or public entity, foundation, or organization. You understand and agree that any content deemed by NBCF to constitute a Personal Appeal or Third-Party Appeal may be removed without notice, and you further agree that NBCF is not responsible for any loss or damage resulting from the removal of such content. Any suspected Personal Appeal or Third-Party Appeals should be reported by contacting us.

You understand and agree that it is impractical for NBCF to monitor all postings and other User Content on the Website to ensure that it does not contain unauthorized Personal Appeal or Third-Party Appeals. Therefore, you agree not to use the Service to respond to any Personal Appeal or Third-Party Appeals that may be contained in a posting or other User Content on the Website, and that using the Service to respond to such Personal Appeal or Third-Party Appeals is a violation of these Terms of Service. Further, NBCF strongly recommends that you do not respond by other means to any Personal Appeal or Third-Party Appeals posted on the Website. If you decide to respond to any posting or other User Content containing unauthorized personal or third-party solicitations, fundraising activity, advertising, or promotion, you do so at your own risk. NBCF is not responsible for any loss you may suffer as a result of responding to a Personal Appeal or Third-Party Appeal contained in a posting or other User Content on the Website, regardless of whether such response is made using the Service.
