Description

Comment Policy
We welcome your comments on Fort Madison Community Hospital’s social networking sites and invite you to join the discussions. We can't respond to every comment, particularly those that deal with individual medical cases and issues. We do review comments before they're posted, not to censor but to ensure that the content is of value to all participants. Posts that are off-topic or clearly promoting a commercial product generally won't make the cut. We also expect a basic level of civility; disagreements are fine, but mutual respect is a must, and profanity or abusive language is out-of-bounds.

That's the plain English version. Here it is in legal language:
By posting any comments, posts or other material on FMCH-sponsored social media outlets, you give Fort Madison Community Hospital “FMCH” the irrevocable right to reproduce, distribute, publish, display, edit, modify, create additional works from, and otherwise use your submission for any purpose in any form and on any media. You also agree that you will not:
1. Post material that infringes on the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights.
2. Post material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, threatening, harassing, abusive, slanderous, hateful, or embarrassing to any other person or entity as determined by FMCH in its sole discretion.
3. Post advertisements or solicitations of business.
4. Post chain letters or pyramid schemes.
5. Impersonate another person.
6. Allow any other person or entity to use your identification for posting or viewing comments.
7. Post the same note more than once or "spam."
Please remember that when you post a comment to a blog, it is published for all to see. For your own privacy, you shouldn't post detailed personal medical information linked to your name. The views and opinions expressed in comments are strictly those of the author(s) and in no way represent those of FMCH unless so authorized by FMCH. We assume no liability for the information therein and extend no implied or expressed warranty or guarantee of accuracy.

FMCH reserves the right (but is not obligated) to do any or all of the following:
1. Remove communications that are abusive, illegal or disruptive, or that otherwise fail to conform with these Terms and Conditions.
2. Terminate a user's access to the blog feature upon any breach of these Terms and Conditions.
3. Edit or delete any communications posted, regardless of whether such communications violate these standards.
Finally, you agree that you will indemnify FMCH against any damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of a claim by a third party relating to any material you have posted.
