Content submitted by users for inclusion on the Service (including, without limitation, any information submitted on message boards, forums or other public areas of the Service) is sometimes referred to in these Terms of Service as “User Submissions.” Whether or not any User Submission is published, it will be subject to these Terms of Service. Social Impact Initiative does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to a User Submission, regardless of whether or not it is published. You are solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them.

In addition to User Submissions, the Service may be presented in such a way as to permit comments (“Comments”) with respect to certain content. You understand and agree that with respect to any Comments, the Social Impact Initiative does not control the Comments. The Social Impact Initiative cannot and will not evaluate, and shall not be responsible for, the accuracy, reliability, completeness, veracity or suitability of any Comments or for verifying the identity of anyone posting a Comment. Although the Social Impact Initiative will try to monitor Comments on the Service and flag and/or remove Comments which the Social Impact Initiative finds unsuitable (as determined in its sole and absolute discretion) the Social Impact Initiative shall be under no obligation to do so and shall have no liability to any party for failure to monitor or remove any Comments or User Submissions. Prior to being granted access to post Comments, individuals may be required to input or provide certain information, including (but not necessarily limited to) their name and/or email address which may be displayed in connection with their Comment; the Social Impact Initiative reserves the right to impose any additional restrictions or requirements with respect to Comments in its sole discretion.

You hereby grant to Social Impact Initiative a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license, with the right to sub-license, to reproduce, distribute, transmit, create derivative works of, publicly display and publicly perform any User Submissions, Comments, or any other materials or information (including, without limitation, ideas for new or improved products or services) you communicate to Social Impact Initiative by all means and in any media now known or hereafter developed. You also grant to Social Impact Initiative the right to use your name in connection with the submitted materials and other information as well as in connection with all advertising, marketing and promotional material related thereto. You agree that you shall have no recourse against Social Impact Initiative for any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of any proprietary right in your communications to Social Impact Initiative. You further agree that it shall be your sole responsibility to verify and/or confirm any information contained in the User Submission prior to relying on it, in connection with which you assume all risk.

We neither endorse nor assume any liability or responsibility for the contents, accuracy, or legitimacy of any User Submission. We generally do not pre-screen, monitor, or edit User Submissions. However, we and our agents have the right at their sole discretion to remove any User Submission or other content that, in our judgment, does not comply with these Terms of Service and any other rules of user conduct for the Service, or is otherwise harmful, objectionable, or inaccurate. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in removing any such User Submission, Comment, or other content. You hereby consent to such removal and waive any claim against us arising out of such removal of any User Submission, Comment, or the like, whether it is your own or another user’s. See “Copyrights, Licenses, and User Submissions” above for a description of the procedures to be followed in the event that any party believes that a User Submission infringes on any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other proprietary rights of any party.

To provide Social Impact Initiative notice of an infringement, you must provide a written communication to the attention of “DMCA Infringement Notification Dept.” care of [email protected] that sets forth the information specified by the DMCA, see www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512). The notification must include: (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Social Impact Initiative to locate the material; (iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit Social Impact Initiative to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (v) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. You may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that an activity is infringing your copyright.

The teacher or mentor is required to respect the privacy of the student. The teacher has a limited license to use this information only for Social Impact Initiative-related communications or for Social Impact Initiative-facilitated transactions. The teacher or mentor may use that personal information for no other purpose, such as sending unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Remember that you need to comply with all relevant legal rules when you use Social Impact Initiative. This include applicable data protection and privacy laws which govern the ways in which you can use another Social Impact Initiative user’s information.

Please note that the Social Impact Initiative reserves the right to share any user data with any partner, school, movement, or organization to further the goals of the Social Impact Initiative.

Teaching or Participating in a Class

These Terms of Service and the Governing Documents are in addition to any agreements, releases or other documents (the “Class Agreements”) that a teacher and student may enter into in connection with a class, including any Class Agreements entered into through the Service. Students and teachers are each responsible to the other for complying with the terms of the Class Agreements, but Social Impact Initiative has no control over either party’s compliance. Among other things, Social Impact Initiative cannot control (a) the provisions of the Class Agreements, (b) the accuracy or legality of the Class Agreements or (c) any party’s performance of its obligations under the Class Agreements. Accordingly, Social Impact Initiative shall not be held responsible for any liability arising out of the Class Agreements or any actions that you may take in reliance thereon and is not a party to any transaction between you and any other user. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE Social Impact Initiative AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “Social Impact Initiative PARTIES”) FROM ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THE CLASS AGREEMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTION OR ATTEMPTED TRANSACTION WITH ANOTHER USER OF THE SERVICE (WHETHER A STUDENT OR TEACHER). YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND AND INTEND THAT THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE IS BINDING UPON YOU AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, AGENTS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSIGNS.

Your teaching or participation in a class is at your sole risk. Social Impact Initiative does not supervise classes and is not involved in any way with the actions of any individuals (whether students or teachers) at any class. As a result, we have no control over the identity or actions of the individuals who are present at these classes, and we request that our users exercise caution and good judgment when participating in Classes. You acknowledge and agree that by participating in any class (whether as a student or teacher) you may be exposed to a variety of risks and hazards, which may or may not be foreseen, including (without limitation) personal injury, property damage and death. You are solely responsible for all costs and/or risks associated with your participation in any class. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE Social Impact Initiative AND EACH OF THE OTHER Social Impact Initiative PARTIES FROM ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, RELATING TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY EVENT, WHETHER AS A STUDENT OR TEACHER. YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND AND INTEND THAT THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE IS BINDING UPON YOU AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, AGENTS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSIGNS.

If applicable, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, in relevant part: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
