All users are required to adhere to these Terms of Service. If the Board of Certification, Inc. (BOC) becomes aware that a user has violated the Terms of Service or other posted BOC policies, that user may be immediately and permanently banned from the site, without warning or other notice.
Registration
To participate on the BOC State Regulatory Network, you must register as a member. When you register, you must choose a unique user name and you must provide a unique and valid email address. Duplicate user names and email addresses are not allowed, so if the name or address you enter is already in use, you will be prompted to choose another one. To prevent any member from using another’s username, each member’s account is password protected with email verification.
Post at Your Own Risk
You participate at your own risk in the BOC State Regulatory Network. You take responsibility for postings under your identification and use the information you provide at your own risk. The BOC takes no responsibility for the content or opinions posted.
Removal of Posts
The BOC reserves the right to remove or edit any postings in our sole discretion, including those that are off the subject, not in English, or in violation of these terms of service.
No Obscene or Hateful Language
Obscene, profane, racist or sexually explicit language is strictly prohibited. You may not harass, defame or threaten another person. We do not allow posts that defame or insult anyone, and notes that are abusive or hateful. All postings must reflect your genuinely held beliefs and may not be false or misleading.
No Solicitations or Advertisements
You may not post any content for commercial purposes. This includes, but is not limited to, advertisements for your business and solicitations for a charity. Unfortunately, it is impossible to verify the validity of each and every organization that solicits donations; therefore, in an effort to protect BOC State Regulatory Network users from fraud, we must prohibit solicitations for charities.
Posting of Images
Attached images must be less than 150k in size and can’t contain photos of children or be offensive in nature.
No Illegal Activity
You may not suggest or encourage illegal or violent activity. The BOC will assist law enforcement officials to stop and/or prevent all such activity of which it becomes aware.
English Language Only
All posts must be submitted in the English language.
All Materials Must Be Copyrighted
You must have copyright ownership of all material that you post on the BOC State Regulatory Network.

For your safety and privacy, please do not post personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, social security numbers, last names or any other private information.
