Terms of Service

Welcome to DrCarney.com

By using our products or services or registering as a user on the site, you agree to this site's terms of use as provided by All Plant Foods, LLC. 1760 FM 967, Suite B, Buda, TX 78610, United States.  Users agree to be bound by these Terms of Use even as these Terms of Use may be modified in the future. 

The Terms of Use will remain visible within the user profiles of all registered users for easy access as well as linked to from the footer of every page on the DrCarney.com Site.  In the event that any term or terms of service outlined here become non-enforcable, the remaing terms of service will not be affected and will remain in force. Feel free to check the terms of service frequently.

COPPA - Child Online Privacy and Protection Act

All users must be 13 years of age or older to register in this Community to be in compliance with COPPA, also known as the Child Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998.  We do not have an adequate way to secure the privacy of children and youth since COPPA is a law in the United States requiring websites which can potentially collect information from minors under the age of 13 to have written parental consent or some other method of legal guardian acknowledgment, allowing the collection of personally identifiable information from a minor under the age of 13. For this reason we have made the decision to disallow the ability to register on this web site for children under 13 years of age.

DrCarney.com Site Etiquette

Users agree to abide by Dr. Carney's Starch-Smart System in our community Social Interactions, Dicussion Forums, Blogs and Recipe Sharing as follows:

1. Do Not Use: Meat, Dairy, Oil, Eggs, Fish, and Other Sea Animals, Caffeine, Alcohol, Vinegar or Black Pepper.
2. Discourage Use of: Processed Sweeteners, Baking Soda and Baking Powder

The Internet is full of sites where you can find and share recipes with the above ingredients.  We are trying to fill a different niche here and we ask that you would please respect our unique approach.

Users agree to use family friendly language without the use of profanities since parents may still share portions this site with their children. As well, we really are not fans of profanity. If you feel you must vent then use special characters to denote your frustration such as &$#!@. 

Users agree not to flame (Aggressive and Angry Posts) other users regardless of differences of opinion.  This includes any form of harassment or attacks on the character of an individual. If we find somebody flaming others they will be asked to stop and if the behavior continues asked to leave, or worst yet, cut-off from the service.

Please report any aggressive and angry posting to the site Administrators. If you feel desperate to flame we have been told that potato chips are highly flammable. You might want to light some of them on fire instead. It is also a great way to show people how horribly greasy they are!

Please try to keep all discussion board posts on-topic.  We reserve the right to move a post that is off-topic to a more relevant discussion topic at our sole discretion.
