JDW POLICIES AND GUIDELINES

We are pleased to offer JDW members a safe and supportive environment for members to learn from one another, exchange ideas and form connections. The intent of our programs and forums is to foster a sense of community among our members.

1) JDW Takes Privacy Seriously

JDW member information is intended for members only. Email addresses and other information are confidential and for the personal use of members only. Do not share your login credentials (username and password) with non-members.

JDW has a circle of trust and we pledge to take each other’s privacy with utmost care and caution. Anything shared between members is private and shall remain between our members and stays within our community. JDW members’ privacy is taken seriously and any member who violates this policy will have their membership revoked.

2) No Solicitations for Professional Services or Financial Assistance

No solicitations or financial gain to members is allowed. Members are not permitted to give, loan or request financial assistance from other members. Members are not permitted to ask other members to pay for their services unless the member has specifically sought out that member and that member has been told there is a cost for services ahead of time.

We also do not permit postings that advertise, request assistance for, or that otherwise benefit any JDW member or that member’s business or place of employment, including that of an immediate family member or relative. If a member requests referrals for a service you provide, you are welcome to post your services one time only. You also may not access members contact information from our programs or Facebook and use that information to solicit for services or assistance. However, if (for example) someone is seeking a life coach referral and you are a life coach, you may respond directly to that member ONCE. You may not continue to solicit – at this point it is up to that member to contact you. If you wish to post a special offering for your services to our members, you may do so if you get approval from our JDW Team first.

3) Members Are Legally Responsible for Their Posts

Members are legally responsible for the content of their posts on our website or Facebook sites, so please use common sense and discretion when posting. Think carefully about the tone and content of posts. Keep in mind that what may be acceptable by your standards may not be by others. When in doubt, ask a JDW Team member prior to posting or don’t post at all.

4) No Political Messages Are Allowed

Please refrain from posting political opinions or commentary. You may provide information about events or situations that have some political content as long as there is something relevant to the community and the information provided contains facts not opinion.

5) Disgruntled or confused by a member’s post

If a member is disgruntled or confused by another member’s post, contact the JDW Team directly to ask how to resolve the issue. The member SHALL NOT contact the individual poster or message board at large to address the issue.

Violation of Guidelines

JDW reserves the right to take appropriate action (For example: suspending or revoking membership) if a member violates our JDW guidelines.
