POLICIES AND TERMS OF USE

Thank you for visiting the Family Travel Network website. Access to and use of this site is subject to the following terms and conditions of use, including all terms, policies and guidelines incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use ("Terms of Use") and all applicable laws. Acceptance of these Terms of Use is a requirement for using this site.

By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using this site, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to these Terms of Use.

The Family Travel Network (“FTN” which is owned by The Beacon Group, Inc.) may modify these Terms of Use from time to time and the modifications become effective upon posting on the Site. You agree to be bound by any changes to these Terms of Use when you use the Site after a modification is posted. Please review these Terms of Use regularly to ensure you are aware of any changes made. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement regarding your use of this Site and the services offered on the Site (“Services”) and supersede any prior terms.

Privacy Policy
The Family Travel Network takes your privacy seriously. Without your prior written permission, FTN will not share, sell or otherwise provide outside companies with your “Personal Information.” The term Personal Information refers to any registration preferences that you have provided to FTN or explicit personal information including financial information that you have shared with us. Typically, we do not request personal information of any kind for most uses of our site. Our goal is to provide insightful and objective information for your use in making educated travel decisions.

We are committed to providing you with quality information. However, FTN e-mail newsletters, e-mail updates and other e-mail publications can be unsubscribed by you at any time. The ability to unsubscribe is imbedded in each e-mail or feel free to write to us and request to be removed from any e-mail list. Except where it is explicated disclosed, we do not earn a fee on our recommendations nor do we sponsor transactions.

We do accept advertising on our site. Clicking on ads and other portals can lead to other web sites that have unique advertising and personal information policies. These sites may earn a transaction fee or earn income on non-objective information. We do not warrant that these advertisements or companies have the same policies as FTN or protect Personal Information in the same manner as FTN. As is customary in the industry, FTN does provide aggregate information on users to potential and current advertisers. This information may consist of demographic, geographic and financial information on our average users. Site traffic information and click-through rates may also be included along with the attractiveness of various parts of the FTN site. Typically, advertisers seek to understand the people that use a particular site, what they find appealing about the site, how frequently they use the site and various ads and the average background of expected users.

FTN does not currently request credit card financial information from users. Should we request this information in the future, we would use secure encrypted technology standard in the industry. This does not guarantee that your information is 100% secure since that is not technically possible, but we will use best practices to protect your information. The use of advertiser’s links may involve credit card financial information that again is not 100% secure and we urge customers of these advertisers to review the privacy policies of the unique advertisers.

User bulletin boards, blogs, reader comments, and postings can be used by non-affiliated companies to collect personal information and we advise caution given that your personal information can be collected and used in this manner. This also applies to advertisers that have click-through ads on our site. In addition, parents should also caution their children about releasing personal information or participating in discussion posting on sites. The Internet attracts a number of people that seek to misrepresent themselves and to use information they acquire to the detriment of the customer or participant. Caution should be exercised by all, but children and teens should be very careful.

Exceptions

In rare cases, FTN can be required by court order or law enforcement professionals to provide confidential or Personal Information to law enforcement officials. FTN will comply with such a request as long as it is a legitimate and proper legal request as determined by FTN in its sole judgment.

Ad Servers and Third Parties may use “cookies” to collect user information for use in their marketing campaigns. This information can obtain the IP address of your computer or server, the geographic location, use patterns and other information. You may “opt out” of the cookies by proper deletions on your computer, registering with the individual advertiser server and electing the choice of opting out or the Network Advertising Initiative site to opt out of a number of third-party companies cookies. Ad servers can aggregate general use patterns and can provide this information to third party advertisers. Please research the various opt out options.

Notification of Changes

In the event that we change our privacy policies in the future, we will provide you with an update contained within this area of our web site. We respect your privacy and we will not use information released to us in a new way without first giving you the option to opt out. FTN can be contacted at 703-905-9858 or on the web at info@familytravelnetwork.com

While FTN and The Beacon Group, Inc. have made no effort to publish the Site elsewhere, the Site is accessible in all states of the United States of America and in other countries.

If you are attempting to access the Site from a location with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure that differ from United States laws, please be advised that through your use of the Site, which is governed by United States laws and these Terms of Use, you are transferring your personal information to the United States and you consent to such transfer.

You and FTN both benefit from establishing a predictable legal environment for the Site.

You agree that all claims you may have against FTN and The Beacon Group, Inc. arising from or relating to this Site will be heard and resolved in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in the state of Virginia.

EDITORIAL POLICIES
FTN's editorial team and management determines what content will be featured on this Site. Those decision may be influenced, in part, by user feedback, user input, and the experiences of others.

As is common in the travel industry, FTN's writers and staff often receives free or discounted travel, lodging, food, tours, products and other items for the purposes of becoming familiar with and possibly writing about and reviewing those services. Despite this fact, we strive to be fair and impartial in all reviews. In-depth reviews of resorts, destinations, attractions and products on the FTN site have resulted from complimentary or discounted travel, lodging, food, tours, and/or products. Our staff does not accept monetary compensation in exchange for reviews. FTN hopes that you enjoy reading our comments and reviews, but, of course, we cannot be responsible if you do not have the same experiences with these destinations, resorts, lodging, restaurants, tours, products and/or services as we have had.

Any and all sponsored articles featured on FTN as well as any advertising are clearly labeled as such.
