The Writer's Notebook website is an interactive site with heavy community involvement. It is a place where people can express their feelings and attitudes through articles, posts, contests, and other written means.

We strongly encourage community participation, yet it is for this reason we have established these terms and conditions. While we want it to be a fun place to gather and give ideas freely, we have set up a few ground rules to maintain some semblance of order and decency:

• All written material shall not contain content that infringes on another's trademark, copyright, or trade secret.
• Please limit profanity in posts and contests to express creativity in dialogue. Do not use it simply to be vulgar.
• Offensive language, hateful content, and racially or ethnically objectionable content will not be tolerated.
• Obscene and/or pornographic texts or images of any type will not be tolerated.
• Do not impersonate another user.

By submitting an entry to a contest on our site, you are giving us permission to display your contest entry. If you do not want your contest submission displayed, do not submit an entry. Contest prizes have no monetary value.

The Writer's Notebook, LLC reserves the right to ban anyone for any reason from our site. We will only ban you if we feel you deliberately violated one or more of the conditions described above. It is not something we want to do, but again, we reserve the right to.

We also reserve the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time without notice. Please check back often to review them.
