Legal

We could do this "properly", like every other legal disclaimer we've seen, and use capitals and a teeny font size on this page... but that isn't our style. If you need further clarification on any of the points below, feel free to email us.

Status

We say this at the end of every page on our website, but we'll state it here as well. By Jovi is not affiliated with any official Bon Jovi website, nor with the official Bon Jovi fan club "Backstage With Jon Bon Jovi".

Melissa has, in the past, been involved with the official Bon Jovi fan club "Backstage With Jon Bon Jovi", as moderator of their message board and chat room. You should not assume that this in any way changes the status of By Jovi.

Whilst you're here, we'd like to make it clear that we do not consider By Jovi to be a Bon Jovi fan club. To us, a fan club is something that you pay to join. While we accept donations, we do not ask people to pay to become a member of By Jovi. We'd prefer it if you used the term "email list" when talking about By Jovi.

Information

We do our best to ensure that we only post accurate information on By Jovi. Wherever possible, we credit our sources of information. This gives you the opportunity to verify the information yourself, if you want to.

Should we make a mistake with any information that we post, we're happy to correct it -- just let us know! If there should ever be any confusion as to the reliability of information that we have posted, then please check with the official Bon Jovi websites for clarification.

Donations

By Jovi is not a registered charity; therefore any donations made to us are not tax deductible.
