Description of Service
Dov's List allows those who are experiencing illness or their representatives to create personal blogs in order to update others about their conditions. These personal blogs are referred to as Dov's Listings. Visitors to the site can search for Dov's Listings to connect with people who are ill, either by sending well-wishes or signing up for prayer. Collectively, the services provided via Dov's List are referred to herein as the "Service." Dov's List is intended for use by people of the Jewish faith; however, it is open to all.

We are continually improving and adding to the features and functionality of dovslist.org. As a result, we may need to update or revise these Terms of Use. We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Use at any time, without prior notice, by posting the revised version of these Terms of Use behind the link marked "Terms of Use" at the bottom of the home page of dovslist.org.
