There are three kinds of members on a MyFamily.com web site: Site Administrator, Active Site Members and Inactive Site Members.
Site Administrator: The person who starts the MyFamily.com Web site in behalf of the family is automatically designated as the administrator. They are responsible for the content on the web site and fees, if there are any. They have access to all information on the site and can add, edit and delete any information. They can also authorize others to be administrators and have the same privileges.
Active Site Members: Have read-only access to the entire site. Additionally, they can add their own news articles, events, photos, sound bites, and video clips to the site. However, they can only edit and delete their own material not that added by other users.
Inactive Site Members: Usually young children "family members" are listed in the address book with pertinent information, but do not have access to log in to the site.

Administrators are solely responsible for everything contained in their own MyFamily.com web sites. MyFamily.com does not verify, endorse or otherwise vouch for the contents of any MyFamily.com web site. Members can be held legally liable for the contents of their personal MyFamily.com web sites, and may be held legally accountable if their MyFamily.com web sites include, for example, material protected by copyright, trademark, patent or trade secret law without the permission of the author or owner or defamatory comments.
The member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MyFamily.com for any loss, liability, claim, damage, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or in connection with the contents of the member's Personal Home Page, or use of the member's MyFamily.com e-mail account.
In the event that MyFamily.com. receives a complaint that the contents of a personal home page infringe intellectual property rights or otherwise is unlawful, MyFamily.com shall request written substantiation of the complaint from the complaining party, for example, substantiation of proof of ownership in the form of a trademark, service mark, patent or copyright registration and will take such steps that it believes to be appropriate under the circumstances, including, for example:
Suspend the site, or a portion of the site, immediately until the dispute is resolved; Provide the member with contact information for the complaining party; Instruct the member to contact the complaining party to resolve the dispute; Inform the complaining party of our actions and ask that party to work directly with the member.
