[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policies_and_procedures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policies_and_procedures]
</p>


<p>All of these policies and procedures exist for a reason. Some are legal requirements. Others are for everybody's safety. Some are just
to prevent petty disputes and avoid misunderstandings.</s></p>
