4C Content Policy
External Links on the
4C Website
Any external link located on the 4C website is provided as an
information resource to the child care industry and parents without
comment or recommendation. While the 4C staff make every effort
to verify the existence and appropriateness of any external links,
we are not responsible for the efficacy, timeliness, or availability
of the content and make no warranty for its accuracy. We stand
by the statement made by Tim Berners-Lee (Commentary on Web Architecture,
April 1997, http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkLaw)
that a link does NOT necessarily imply that
- One document endorses the other; or that
- One document is created by the same person as the other, or
that
- One document is to be considered part of another.
4C supports local businesses and organizations and will on occasion
provide a link of interest on the website when the content is
pertinent to a recent newsworthy topic or upcoming 4C-sponsored
event.
4C does not provide external links to web sites representing
individuals or child care programs as this may be misinterpreted
as a recommendation. As is stated in all 4C literature:
4C believes that parents are best able to choose and evaluate
child care for their children because they know their children's
needs best. Responsibility for selecting child care rests with
each parent. A 4C referral does not imply a recommendation.
We urge parents to carefully interview and check references
before leaving a child in care. If you notice conditions that
cause you concern, please call us with the information at 221-0033
in Cincinnati or 781-3511 in Northern Kentucky, or send an email
to agency@4cforchildren.org.
Links to the 4C Website
You don't have to ask permission to link to this site -- or any
other website. See (Visit the official World
Wide Web Consortium website for "link myths" on this).
However, you should never do anything (including making a link)
that misrepresents what is being linked to, or implies a relationship
with 4C that does not exist. For instance, you may not use misleading
frames, URL tricks, or redirections that misrepresent 4C content
as being published by anyone other than 4C. Note, this requirement
to be clear in your representations is your obligation, 4C does
not sign waivers about who may link to us.
In addition, if 4C discovers the existence of a link that it
finds undesirable, we reserve the right to request that the said
link be removed.
This formulation of 4C's notice and license
became active on April 27, 2001. Please see our Copyright
FAQ for common questions about using materials from
