Terms of Service

This is the legal, CYA portion of the program. Pay attention and no one gets hurt.

1. The information contained on www.livingdonor101.com is not a replacement for medical advice. By all means, contact a doctor, emergency room, or transplant center.

2. The information contained on www.livingdonor101.com is not a replacement for mental health services. Many living donors have found professionals with PTSD training especially helpful; do not be afraid to 'audition' a mental health professional and move on if it feels uncomfortable.

3. The information contained on www.livingdonor101.com is not a replacement for legal advice. There are no lawyers here, nor legal referrals. You're on your own with that one.

4. From time to time, LD101 will post information regarding a research study open to living organ donors. These will not be studies requiring medication or procedures, but interviews or surveys. Since the library of data collected on living organ donation and living donors is so sparse, LD101 is a supporter of attempts to expand the pool of knowledge, so to speak.

While LD101 promotes the availability of these opportunities and will only do so for those conducted by credible organizations or individuals who comply with established federal guidelines and protocol, LD101 is not privy to the details of each study and therefore cannot make any guarantees or warranties, and accepts no responsibility for the experience or results thereof.

5. LD101 is not responsible for the content or behavior of any external links or websites. 

6. LD101 does not share, sell or disseminate the email addresses or other contact or demographic information of its users.

7. LD101 currently contains no advertising. When or if LD101 begins accepting advertising as a source or revenue, all advertisements will be clearly marked to avoid confusion with editorial content. Please refer to the donations page for other funding information.
