e. Users may not interfere with other users’ use of the URhealthstyle.com website, including, without limitation, disrupting the normal flow or use of the service.

f. Users may not post or transmit any file which contains “viruses,” “worms,” “Trojan horses” or any other contaminating or destructive features.

By sending a submission to URhealthstyle.com, the user automatically authorizes The Medical Foundation, Inc. to read it, edit it, and publish it on the website or any of our future publications and authorize other organizations to publish it.
