My Recovery Network, LLC. ("MyRecovery Network” or "we”) operates MyRecoveryNetwork.com, which is a social networking service that caters to the recovery community by allowing Members to create unique personal profiles online in order to find and communicate with old and new friends and by providing an outlet to connect via in person local, national and internationalrecovery events.

The My Recovery Network Services are hosted in the United States.

This Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of the My Recovery Network Services.

The term "User" refers both to Visitors and Members. You are only authorized to use the My Recovery Network Services (regardless of whether your access or use is intended) if you agree to abide by all applicable laws and the terms of this Agreement. Please read this Agreement and save it. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement and to follow all applicable laws, you should leave the My Recovery Network Website and discontinue use of the My Recovery Network Services immediately.
