ISIS reserves the right at all times to disclose any information
as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal
process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to

sole discretion.
Always use caution when giving out any personally identifying
information about yourself or your children in any Communication
Service. ISIS does not control or endorse the content, messages or
information found in any Communication Service and, therefore, ISIS
specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the
Communication Services and any actions resulting from your
participation in any Communication Service. Managers and hosts are
not authorized ISIS spokespersons, and their views do not
necessarily reflect those of ISIS.
Materials uploaded to a Communication Service may be subject to
posted limitations on usage, reproduction and/or dissemination. You
are responsible for adhering to such limitations if you download
the materials.
