Terms of Use
This Post Mastectomy Photo Gallery (hereinafter the “gallery”) is intended to provide a useful database of photos of women who have undergone
mastectomy surgery with and without reconstruction. This “gallery” allows women who have undergone mastectomy to share their post-surgical photos
with others in a purely educational and supportive context. FORCE is not a health care provider, or otherwise a covered entity under HIPAA, and the information
being supplied is provided voluntarily and is not protected personal health information.
For Those Who Submit Information (“Submitter(s)”):
This is a password-protected but publicly accessible photo gallery and you have no guarantee of anonymity. FORCE will not share any personal information that is
not part of the photos and information that you submit to accompany your photos. By submitting photos and any other personal information you are allowing users
of the FORCE website to view your images and information. You may edit or crop the photos as desired prior to submitting them and we recommend removing any
identifiable jewelry, or covering any identifiable scar or tattoo if you are concerned with privacy. Should you choose to no longer have your photos posted, we
will make all reasonable effort to remove them within seven (7) days of written receipt of notice from you of your desire to have them removed.

For Users of the Gallery (“User(s)”):
This website and the gallery service are for individual educational use only. Nothing on this site is or should be considered, or used as a substitute for,
medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or other information that could only be obtained by a face-to-face interview with a health care service provider. Any
listing of a health care service provider’s information and/or views expressed in connection with submission of such information is solely the view of the

hereby disclaims any and all liability or responsibility for such submissions. As a User or Submitter, you agree to these terms and conditions and further agree
