You're a Fountain City Brass Band fan. And as a valued fan, we want you to know that protecting your privacy on the Internet is a priority for us. The purpose of this page is to expand upon and clarify our policy on the collection and use of fan data to ensure the highest level of confidentiality and security. 

Fountain City Brass Band House Rules Whether this is your first time on-line or you're a seasoned web surfer, we've spelled out our house rules for you here. Generally speaking, these rules simply require respect and good manners. Use your common sense, and you'll feel right at home. 

Our House Rules Include: 

This web site is "rated G." So that means, we don't allow obscene, racist, or sexually explicit language. We also reserve the right to remove postings that defame or insult anyone, and notes that are abusive or hateful. Any harassing notes or postings that might be construed as stalking, will be deleted and made available to the proper law-enforcement officials. We also reserve the right to remove notes that are off the subject or not in English. 
No solicitations or advertisements are allowed. This includes advertisements for your business or latest get-rich-scheme. Such notes add clutter and devalue conversation.

• You may not suggest or encourage illegal activity. The Fountain City Brass Band will assist law-enforcement officials. 
• You must have copyright ownership of all material you post on our bulletin boards or in our chat rooms. No articles, recipes, song lyrics, art, graphics, or other material may be posted without the express written consent of the copyright holder. 
• You must respect the privacy of individuals. This means no posting of phone numbers, addresses, Social Security numbers, or any other private information. Having good manners on-line means that you don't post the same note more than once. The on-line word for posting many times on one topic is "spamming." We don't allow that. 
• You participate at your own risk on the bulletin boards, in chat, and in e-mail. All chats may be monitored by Fountain City Brass Band staff members. You take responsibility for postings under your identification and use the information provided on the Fountain City Brass Band including on bulletin boards, chat, and e-mail at your own risk. The Fountain City Brass Band takes no responsibility for the content or opinions posted in bulletin board, chat, or e-mail. 
• The Fountain City Brass Band reserve the right to remove any postings (although has no duty to do so).
