Three Steps: Agreement, Logo, Listing

Your membership will be complete with these three steps:

1. Read SWA Membership Agreement
2. Install Logo & Hyperlink
3. Submit Your Site Listing

SWA MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

The SWA logo is copyrighted, and its use is granted to SWA members only under the following conditions. By placing the SWA logo on your website, you agree to the following terms: 

1. One Full Page Requirement

You will maintain at least one full web page which is devoted to Scleroderma-related information, and that qualifying page must be primarily of a non-commercial (non-selling) nature.

2. Legal and Decent

The SWA logo is not allowed to appear on any web site or printed page which fails to comply with any legal obligations, including but not limited to, obligations imposed by copyright, secrecy, defamation, decency, and export laws. Neither shall SWA sites knowingly link to such materials. The SWA reserves the right to rescind membership in the event of any infraction.

3. SWA Logo Requirement/Waiver

The hyperlinked SWA logo must appear on your main Scleroderma page. Waiver: If your site disallows all graphics (as some medical centers do), you may apply for a logo waiver by emailing swa-logo-waiver@sclero.org.

Linking Encouraged

Members are also encouraged (but not required) to liberally use the hyperlinked SWA logo, button, or plain old link (Scleroderma: Sites to Surf!) elsewhere on their site.

The more visible the SWA logo is, the easier it will be for people to find Scleroderma information. And the more we all post the logo and links, the greater the traffic is for all of us, because we have a truly user-friendly Internet community! 

Placement of SWA Logo

We recommend that you place the logo on the bottom of your page(s), because it will encourage people to review your site offerings before electing to surf another site. Also, a fairly standard placement gives SWA site visitors a reliable place to look for the logo.

However, when the bottom placement isn't feasible (for whatever reason), simply place the SWA logo anywhere on the page.

New "Scleroderma Sites to Surf!" Logos

All of these logos have been gif-shrunk to be the lowest possible bytes and to be fast-loading, so please do not put these through any further compression.

Scleroderma Sites to Surf!

1. Right-click on any of the logos above and save it to your web directory.
2. Hyperlink the graphic to: http://www.sclero.org/support/swa/a-to-z.html
3. Upload your page(s) and the new graphic file to your server.
4. Then test it to make sure that if you click on the logo, it brings up the SWA master listing.

(The new logos were very generously designed & donated to the SWA by Judy Tarro. Judy is webmaster of SD World, which offers a free email list, message board, and ICQ chat.)

SWA Listing or Revision Form

Sites which fall only into the Support Group listing category receive the standard one-line listing by state. Support Group sites with at least a full page of additional Scleroderma-related information may qualify for a Web Site listing, also. 

The SWA Web Site listing format is standard, and includes one paragraph describing the web site, and another giving webmaster credentials. (See SWA Descriptions) We'll help edit or polish your listing so just enter what you can and we'll take it from there.
