Links to Government Websites

POM can add a link to any government website that is publicly available unless directed not to by the agency that owns the site. Acceptable federal government-owned or government-sponsored website domains include .gov, .mil and .fed.us. POM also may link to some government-sponsored websites that end in .com, .org, .edu, or .net (e.g., www.dliflc.edu).

 

Links to Non-Government Websites

Occasionally POM links to websites that are not government-owned or government-sponsored if these websites provide government information and/or services in a way that is not available on an official government website. POM provides these non-government websites as a public service only. The Presidio of Monterey neither endorses nor guarantees in any way the external organizations, services, advice, or products included in these website links. Furthermore, the Presidio of Monterey neither controls nor guarantees the accuracy, relevance, timeliness or completeness of the information contained in non-government website links. (See the above Disclaimer of Endorsement for more information on this topic.)

 

Prohibitions

POM will not link to any website that exhibits hate, bias, or discrimination. Furthermore, POM reserves the right to deny or remove any link that contains misleading information or unsubstantiated claims, or is determined to be in conflict with POM's mission or policies.

  • Does the recommended website provide official government information or services?
  • Does the recommended website complement existing information, products and services on our website?
