We (who we are) publish the contents of the three websites of The Network as a public service without being endorsed by or under the control of any government agency or association of dues-paying members. That being the case, The Network offers resources, such as its Global Registry of Contacts, and delivers on its unique search promise without being pressured to show favoritism or to be prejudicial in favor of any particular location or group of resource and service providers. A privacy policy explains how we handle information and requests for assistance. The following disclaimer statements are part of our operating policy.

The Network publishes information that comes from outsiders; therefore, we cannot be responsible for their claims or implication of facts. We make no representations as to the reliability, accuracy and completeness of information or links that are not under our direct control. Challenges and critiques are encouraged. Also, we sincerely solicit input from users that brings dead ends and other problems to our attention for correction.

We continuously conduct investigations online and publish information as well as links at the request of users. We accept their input in good faith; nevertheless, we do not accept, publish or distribute anything that we find or believe to be related to offensive, illegal, security-threatening, or questionable operations or claims. Privacy does not apply for spongers, deadbeats, frivolous individuals or others who would impede our our mission.

We extend no courtesies or respect for privacy to cyberthugs.

We reserve the right to remove from publication or do-away-with anything that turns out to be different from what it was claimed to be. We may publish or distribute an advisory if it is learned that something we accept, place online or otherwise distribute is unverifiable or frivolous, or changed in its status without notice. In addition, we reserve the right to publish a statement or distribute information that explains why we remove something from a webpage when, at any time, it is found to be different than originally presented.

We do not involve ourselves in user transactions without being invited.

We sincerely seek close, mutually beneficial, working relationships with individuals and organizations that make resources available for enterprise and economic development. This includes associations having as members representatives of places that want economic development and that publish contact lists on the Web. We regret that we cannot pay for memberships in all the various associations that we know and respect for their dedication to a mission similar to ours.

We do not accept solicitations or suggestions that we pay for endorsements.

Although it is suggested that exposure on the Internet is driven by such things as link exchanges, The Network is secure in its position as a resource for those search engines respected for quality operations and coverage within its area of information delivery, which is enterprise and economic development with the site selection process included, The Network is able to maintain its Internet exposure by being a search resource. Take a look at the three things users need to know about the dedication of The Network and how to use it.

The Network features the Google/.network Search Engine; however, we provide access to others. Our promise remains applicable no matter what search engine you choose to use.

We appreciate input from users and, in fact, could not be in business without their help. The organization behind The Network is a nanocorp with limited resources. The best way to contact us and provide input is to send an email by following the instructions we provide for thwarting the efforts of spammers and cyberthugs, thus allowing us to zero in on priorities.
