As such we hold to a Christian perspective on marriage, family life, human sexuality, and the sanctity of human life. We ask that as a visitor of the Living on the Edge website, you would extend the same courtesy and respect you would want from Living on the Edge in consideration of your own personal views.

Submitting Content and Online Material

All remarks, suggestions, ideas, graphics, comments, or other information that you send to Living on the Edge (other than information we promise to protect under our privacy policy), becomes and remains our property, even if this agreement is later terminated.

That means that we don’t have to treat any such submission as confidential. However, we do honor confidentiality requests made when you send personal information through the “Share Your Story” function. You can’t sue us for using ideas you submit. We reserve the right to use your ideas or anything like them without compensation to you. Living on the Edge has exclusive ownership of all present and future rights to submissions of any kind and can use them for any purpose we deem appropriate.

Living on the Edge provides spiritual guidance that may or may not conform to standards of medical or psychological treatment set forth by governmental licensing agencies. If you have concern about the advice received from Living on the Edge you should consult with a licensed medical professional and/or licensed counselor or therapist.

Limitation of Liability

Living on the Edge will not be liable for any damages or injury that accompany or result from your use of this website. These include (but are not limited to) damages or injury caused by any:

  •  Use of (or inability to use) this website.
  •  Use of (or inability to use) any site to which you hyperlink from this website.
  •  Failure of our sites to perform in the manner you expected or desired.
  •  Error on our site.
  •  Omission on our site.

Please note that we are not liable for any damages, including, but not limited to:

  • Damages reasonably expected to result from a loss or injury (known in legal terms as “consequential damages”)
  • Other miscellaneous damages and expenses resulting directly from a loss or injury (known in legal terms as “incidental damages”)

We are not liable even if we’ve been negligent or if our authorized representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages or both.

Exception: Certain state laws may not allow us to limit or exclude liability for these “consequential” or “incidental” damages. If you live on one of those states, the above limitation obviously would not mean that you have the right to recover these types of damages.

However, in any event, our liability to you for all losses, damages, injuries, and claims of any and every kind (where the damages are claimed under the terms of a contract, or claimed to be caused by negligence or other wrongful conduct, or they’re claimed under any other legal theory) will not be greater than the amount you paid to access our site.
