Parental Control Protections Outerbands is concerned about the safety and privacy of all Outerbands users, especially children.

Outerbands cannot be held responsible for any Content Posted by Outerbands users which may be offensive, indecent or objectionable. While Outerbands has established rules keeping children under the age of 14 from becoming a member of Outerbands, it is easy for children to lie about their age and thus gain access to Content which may be inappropriate and unintended for them. It is up to parents to properly supervise their children’s on-line activities. Certain parental control protections are commercially available which can assist parents in supervising their children’s on-line activities such as computer hardware, software, and filtering services which can be used to lock a child’s access to on-line services such as Outerbands. You can find tools that will assist you in supervising User’s children’s on-line activities by clicking here.
