Linking policy

We use the following criteria to select the links that are included on this site:

18. The content must be authentic. InToughTimesText will primarily link to relevant harm protection websites known to be sponsored by organisations we deem to be reputable. Every effort is made to ensure the links are as current and as complete as possible, however due to the consistent process of change on such websites there will inevitably be a small amount of out-of-date or missing content at any point in time.
19. The content should be up-to-date and accurate. Links will be made in good faith with the expectation that the content is appropriately maintained by the author and is timely and accurate. However, we can offer no guarantees of this.

Linking to this site

You may link to this website as long as you do not:

• imply that the Australian Suicide Prevention Foundation endorses your website or product;
• use InToughTimesText solely for commercial practices; or
• change the content of the material technically (e.g. the material is presented in a frame so that users are unable to determine the location of the original material).

We may ask you to remove the link from your website if these conditions are not met.
