Hyperlingking:
- The following organizations may link to BBB's Web site, www.greensboro.bbb.org, without prior written BBB approval:
- Government agencies;
- Search engines;
- News organizations;
- Online directory distributors when they list BBB in the directory
may link to BBB's Web site in the same manner as they hyperlink to the
Web sites of other listed businesses; and
- BBB Systemwide Accredited Businesses except soliciting non-profit
organizations, charity shopping malls, and charity fundraising groups
which may not hyperlink to CBBB's Web site.
These organizations may link to BBB's home page, to publications or
to other Web site information so long as the link: (a) is not in any
way misleading; (b) does not falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement or
approval of the linking party and its products or services; and (c)
fits within the context of the linking party's site.
- BBB may consider and approve in its sole discretion other link requests from the following types of organizations:
- commonly-known consumer and/or business information sources such as
Chambers of Commerce, American Automobile Association, AARP and
Consumers Union;
- dot.com community sites;
- associations or other groups representing charities, including charity giving sites,
- online directory distributors;
- internet portals;
- accounting, law and consulting firms whose primary clients are businesses; and
- educational institutions and trade associations.
BBB will approve link requests from these organizations if BBB
determines that: (a) the link would not reflect unfavorably on BBB and
its accredited businesses (for example, trade associations or other
organizations representing inherently suspect types of business, such
as work-at-home opportunities, shall not be allowed to link); (b)the
organization does not have an unsatisfactory record with BBB; (c) the
benefit to BBB from the visibility associated with the hyperlink
outweighs the absence of BBB accreditation; and (d) where the link is
in the context of general resource information or is otherwise
consistent with editorial content in a newsletter or similar product
furthering the mission of the organization.
These organizations may link to BBB's home page, to publications or
to other Web site information so long as the link: (a) is not in any
way misleading; (b) does not falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement or
approval of the linking party and it products or services; and (c) fits
within the context of the linking party's site.
