I, Richard Fox, Owner of all Awards
Programs held at the They Live Again web site, do hereby
declare on behalf of myself to advance and promote the Web
site Evaluator Code of Ethics in order to ensure fairness to
all Applicants and to maintain the honor and integrity of
Applicants, Evaluators and Awards.
-
We agree that all critiques given will be
constructive in nature as positive comment is productive. We
will refrain from criticism unless specifically requested by
an Applicant, and in such instances, will remain positive
where possible in an effort to promote goodwill and advance
the level of quality among Internet sites.
-
We agree to allow eligibility to all
Applicants who meet the Criteria of any particular award. We
agree to be uniform in our eligibility requirements
(Criteria) and will fairly evaluate all sites/pages meeting
our Criteria which are submitted by any Applicant. We
further agree to clearly post these Criteria.
-
We agree not to discriminate on grounds
of race, gender, nation of origin, religion, profession,
age, mental or physical handicap, or any other reason which
is not globally viewed as an illegal trait or manner of
conduct.
-
We agree to set forth Awards Criteria and
to adhere to same. Proposed time frames for changes will be
posted for two (2) weeks prior to the final publishing of
same with notices posted on site so all potential Applicants
can view and understand the proposed changes.
-
We agree to evaluate web sites under the
Criteria which was in place at the time of any and/or all
application/s. If changes are made to Criteria AFTER
application/s is/are received, the submitted site/s will be
evaluated using the Criteria that was in effect when
Applicant/s initially submitted the site/s.
-
We agree to immediately inform any
Criteria compliant Applicant in writing, of a 'Refrain to
Evaluate' if it is found that a Conflict of Interest would
occur in evaluating their Web site - e.g. Such may occur
upon being requested to evaluate the Web site of a good
friend. We will offer such Applicant a choice of Evaluator
taken from our Membership Listing.
-
We agree to maintain a professional,
friendly and positive manner in any and/or all
correspondence and/or communication held with any
Applicant/s.
-
We agree to evaluate all submitted sites
within four (4) weeks of receipt of submission. If this
deadline cannot be met, we agree to suspend submissions
until we can again work within this timeframe.
-
We agree not to divulge any information
about any Applicant to persons, groups, or agencies not
directly connected to our Awards Program, and only then for
the purpose of evaluating submissions and notifying winners.
All information received from Applicants via e-mail
submissions or submission forms will be deemed private.
-
We agree to encourage and promote the use
of original material for Awards Programs Criteria and
evaluation processes. We agree to assist any person
requesting advice concerning ethical evaluation for and
disbursement of awards. PLEASE NOTE: The Awards Evaluation
processes in use at They Live Again are copyrighted material
and written authorization is required for their use.
-
We agree to maximum dimensions of Awards
given in courtesy of web sites that will use them. If the
maximum dimensions cannot be adhered to then a text only
link will be permitted for graphics larger than maximum
size. (Maximum size dimensions offered from this web site
are: no more than 167 pixels Height and 136 pixels Width.)
-
We agree that there will be only one
obligation for winning Awards from this web site beyond
meeting the Criteria. It is not, and never will be,
mandatory at this web site to sign a Guest book or to join a
mailing list. It is a requirement that any Awards granted
from this web site must be linked back to our web site in a
method that will be outlined in Award notification e-mail.
-
We agree that we will not grant Awards
to, or in any other manner endorse or promote, any web site
that endorses, promotes or contains content which is
considered globally to be illegal or discriminatory whether
same be against human or wildlife.
-
We agree that we will not accept favors
of any sort in exchange for preferential treatment of
submissions. We will at all times maintain a high standard
of honesty and integrity.
-
We agree that we will take all measures
necessary to maintain the honor and integrity of our Awards
Programs.
Submitted on this day, April 1, 2001.
