Terms and Conditions

Questions about MyNHPCO should be directed to NHPCO's Solutions Center, solutions@nhpco.org, 800-646-6460.

The online discussions are meant to promote professional development and stimulate conversation, not to create contention, do not attack others. Represent yourself and your agency respectably. Defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal material is strictly prohibited. NHPCO does not editorially control postings; however, NHPCO reserves the right to delete any messages that, in the sole discretion, are inappropriate for the group.

NHPCO does not regularly monitor any discussion group. Participants who suspect that unauthorized or illegal activity is occurring in a MyNHPCO forum should report such activity to NHPCO at solutions@nhpco.org. NHPCO will investigate complaints of possible policy violations and take action the organization believes appropriate, including, but not limited to issuing warnings, removing content and terminating accounts and/or subscriptions. However, because situations and interpretations vary, NHPCO also reserves the right to take no action.

Do not post commercial messages on MyNHPCO. The promotion of services and products may only be done through approved advertisements.

You may use MyNHPCO to seek advice of others regarding products and services, and it is acceptable to share your experience as a user and/or purchaser.
