AQS Social Media Terms and Conditions

Participating Guidelines

We encourage your participation on American Quilter's Society (AQS) Social Media Platforms (SMPs), and hope you will join the discussions. We can't respond to every contribution but will give due diligence to provide assistance when appropriate. We reserve the right to review content before it is posted. Content that is off-topic or clearly promoting a commercial product may not be posted and may be removed. We also expect a basic level of civility. Disagreements are fine, but mutual respect is a must and profanity or abusive language is unacceptable.

Please remember that when you post a comment to a SMP (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) it is published for the world to see. For your own privacy and that of your family, you should consider carefully how much detailed personal information you want published on the Internet.
