Links, Referrals and Mentions Policy

Subject to the key condition mentioned below, Bermuda Online will gladly establish and maintain a free courtesy electronic link - hyperlink or weblink to and mention of -  Bermuda-based individuals and charitable or business corporate entities, and by doing so show them as a Bermuda resource. Plus, links will be publicly shown in the central links register listed below. 

The key condition is that the website or organization or individual concerned must establish and maintain a similar free courtesy hyperlink/weblink to and mention of Bermuda Online as a Bermuda resource and show this in a Links central register instead of merely as a private or unpublished or not-obvious-to-the-public-link  Also see "Conditions of Use" 

To be listed/linked to/mentioned in Bermuda Online, individuals and companies with websites and a Bermuda connection must first:

• Electronically text link to Bermuda Online (BOL) and by doing so also show us as a resource in the way mentioned above. Bermuda Online (BOL) has always been very pleased to reciprocate immediately all hyperlinks to all Bermuda websites and sub-websites (with their own URLs) that hyperlink to us, in a clearly-marked and easily accessible "Links" area (instead of a "hidden" area for links, one not visible to those accessing a site, therefore effectively not usable by persons who don't know it and can't see it) - and to keep them up for as they as they do the same. 
• Check your website first to see if we are or are not linked already. If you are not prepared to link to us in full reciprocation, please  do not ask for a link or mention, it cannot be given. Why not? Simply because it is not a practical proposition to incur bandwidth in linking to or making any mention of or referral to a site as a Bermuda resource that won't link back or mention us as a Bermuda resource on a full reciprocal basis. As there is clearly still some misunderstanding about this please note that electronic reciprocal linkage as suggested earlier does not show affiliation in any way, nor does it denote any exclusivity - and you are not liable in any way for the contents of a site which is not yours but to which all you do is link for the information and resources it has that you site doesn't. When your own site does not give an overall or in-depth portrayal of Bermuda it makes sense to link to a website like ours that does - and if appropriate, others too. It's your website's choice entirely in whether or not to link to us or anyone else, as it is ours but bear in mind one of the prime purposes of suggesting/having a reciprocal link to corporate entities or community groups such as yours is to quickly and easily with huge economy of time and effort to allow third party readers to zero right in on your organization to get needed info including the times and dates, etc. of your meetings - from your own site, not ours. We're unable to show on our own site any meetings of any organizations, just don't have the space for it, sorry. Websites cannot be more than a certain length and if we did it for one organization we'd have to do it for all which would be impossible.
• If you agree to mutually link,  we will also gladly include, if you wish, a brief description of your website. Just email what your website's brief description is to Keith A. Forbes, Editor and Webmaster, at kaforbes@ibl.bm. In return, please use our description which is "a portal with 125+ unique websites on Bermuda, constantly updated." 
• If you do not arrange links yourself, or don't own or administer your website yourself talk to your webmaster to arrange to link to us. Please put your link to us in your specific Links page, and we will do the same. Reciprocated links must be in clear public view, not hidden. Having a separate Links" page is the most practical way to ensure this. If we are shown in your "Links" page we will show you in ours. 
• If you do link to us but show us last in your list of links or superimpose your website address on ours instead of linking to us directly by showing our website we reserve the right not to link to you at all. All owners and website managers, including ourselves, have complete discretion in whom they will link to and will not, on principle. Bermuda Online does, too, with a policy very similar to many other portal websites.  The few exceptions to this links policy are entirely at the discretion of the site manager of Bermuda Online and include the airlines serving Bermuda - or which promote Bermuda from abroad.
• Be relevant to Bermuda and have an acceptable standard of taste and decency.
• When links to us from any site to us are withdrawn without any prior notice, we will do the same, immediately.  
• If, instead of reciprocally linking (cross-linking) to us you prefer to pay for your advertising on Bermuda Online, you should first of all contact The Advertising Dept of The Royal Gazette. The right is reserved to discontinue without notice any mention of any organization or individual without either a reciprocal hyperlink to/from Bermuda Online or paid advertising on it. 

Bermuda Online (BOL) here at http://www.bermuda-online.org is not responsible for the content of other websites. There is a standard disclaimer when you link to a site. It is that you do not necessarily endorse its content or even agree with some or all of it. But you electronically link to it for the comprehensive information it provides in ways supplementing and complementing your site that your own site either does not provide or does not do so in the same detail as ours.

You or your association or company or corporation are always entirely free, without any permission needed from us, to electronically hyperlink (link) to any of the 125+ webfiles of Bermuda Online.  But no permission, under any but the most exceptional circumstances, is given to reproduce any part - any information or text or graphics or photographs or images - of Bermuda Online in or for any personal or commercial or educational web pages. The only exceptional circumstance is when the individual or association or corporate entity (a) links to Bermuda Online and (b) will publicly acknowledge Bermuda Online as the owner/author of the image or images and/or text. These two provisos must always go together. 

Types of electronic links

• Two types -"text" or "banner" links. Of the two, text links, plus a brief description, are the ones we will accept and reciprocate. Be aware that Banner Links are sometimes such a nuisance to some people that they switch them off, often for good reason. We do the same. Site owners and webmasters don't always realize or appreciate the implications of of this.
