The organization may investigate and prosecute violations of these terms to the fullest legal extent. The organization may notify and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting violations of the law and these terms.

The organization reserves the right to change, redact, and delete content on the forum for any reason. If you believe someone has submitted content to the forum in violation of these terms, please message the Administrators.

Your Account

You must create and log into an account to use some features of the forum.

To create an account, you must provide some information about yourself. If you create an account, you agree to provide, at a minimum, a valid e-mail address, and to keep that address up-to-date. You may close your account at any time by messaging the Administrators.

You agree to be responsible for all action taken using your account, whether authorized by you or not, until you either close your account or notify the organization that your account has been compromised. You agree to notify the organization immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised. You agree to select a secure password for your account, and keep it secret.

The organization may restrict, suspend, or close your account on the forum according to its policy for handling copyright-related takedown requests, or if the organization reasonably believes that you’ve broken any rule in these terms.

Your Content

The organization shall not claim any ownership over your intellectual property as it pertains to your user profile, avatar, self-published multimedia, art, music or any private information used in the creation of your account. Nothing in these terms gives you any ownership rights in the organization’s intellectual property, either.

The organization has set up this Discourse forum to invite spiritual seekers together for communication that centers around content produced within the organization. As such, the organization considers any electronic contributions (“posts” or “messages”) to this Discourse forum as Gifts. The organization intends to preserve and archive all electronic contributions for continued learning, cultural posterity and historical reference. Electronic contributions made through this Discourse forum will be represented as part of a permanent electronic archive. The archived content is limited to archiving and representing avatar, user name, post, and message content that is, by default, publicly accessible.

Between you and the organization, you remain solely responsible for content you submit to the forum. You agree not to wrongly imply that content you submit to the forum is sponsored or approved by the organization. While the organization intends to represent an archive of historical contributions, these terms do not obligate the organization to store, maintain, or provide copies of content you submit, and to change it, according to these terms.

You will be given up to ten (10) days to modify any content submitted to this Discourse forum. At a minimum, you license the organization to provide content that you submit to the forum to other users of the forum. This special license also allows the organization to copy, publish, archive, and analyze content you submit to the forum.

When content you submit is removed from the forum, whether by you or by the organization, the organization’s special license ends when the last copy disappears from the organization backups, caches, and other systems. Other licenses you apply to content you submit, such as Creative Commons licenses, may continue after your content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or the organization itself, the right to continue sharing your content through the forum or an electronic archive.

Others who receive content you submit to the forum may violate the terms on which you license your content. You agree that the organization will not be liable to you for those violations or their consequences.

As owner of any artwork or self-published multimedia posted to the Discourse forum, you may request deletion of the artwork or self-published multimedia item(s) by providing the Administrators with the URLs of posts where your content is being represented. Deletion requests for multimedia displayed within your historical posts that are not owned by you cannot be requested for removal (e.g., third-party video and image serving services). Publicly available emojis, icons, and public domain images are exempt from deletion requests under these terms.

Your Responsibility

You agree to indemnify the organization from legal claims by others related to your breach of these terms, or breach of these terms by others using your account on the forum. Both you and the organization agree to notify the other side of any legal claims for which you might have to indemnify the organization as soon as possible. If the organization fails to notify you of a legal claim promptly, you won’t have to indemnify the organization for damages that you could have defended against or mitigated with prompt notice. You agree to allow the organization to control investigation, defense, and settlement of legal claims for which you would have to indemnify the organization, and to cooperate with those efforts. The organization agrees not to agree to any settlement that admits fault for you or imposes obligations on you without your prior agreement.

Disclaimers

You accept all risk of using the forum and content on the forum. As far as the law allows, the organization and its suppliers provide the forum as is, without any warranty whatsoever.

The forum may hyperlink to and integrate forums and services run by others. The organization does not make any warranty about services run by others, or content they may provide. Use of services run by others may be governed by other terms between you and the one running service.

Limits on Liability

Neither the organization nor its suppliers will be liable to you for breach-of-contract damages their personnel could not have reasonably foreseen when you agreed to these terms.

As far as the law allows, you agree the total liability to you for any legal claims, submitted into a court of law in the United States, of any kind that are related to the forum or content on the forum will be limited to $50.00, USD.

Feedback

The organization welcomes your feedback and suggestions for the forum. Message the Administrators and they will get back to you as soon as they are able to address your message.

You agree that the organization will be free to act on feedback and suggestions you provide, and that the organization won’t have to notify you that your feedback was used, get your permission to use it, or pay you. You agree not to submit feedback or suggestions that you believe might be confidential or proprietary, to you or others.

Termination

Either you or the organization may end the agreement written out in these terms at any time. When our agreement ends, your permission to use the forum also ends.

The following provisions survive the end of our agreement: Your Content, Feedback, Your Responsibility, Disclaimers, Limits on Liability, and General Terms.

Disputes

Any dispute with this Discourse forum provided by the organization should be raised to the attention of the Administrators for acknowledgment and a good faith opportunity to mediation and reconcile the dispute between both parties.

Should the dispute not be reconciled between both parties in a good faith effort, it shall be up to you to submit any disputes related to these terms or your use of the forum within a United States court of law.

You and the organization agree to seek injunctions related to these terms only in state or federal court. Neither you nor the organization will object to jurisdiction, forum, or venue in those courts.

Other than to seek an injunction or for claims under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, you and the organization will resolve any dispute by binding American Arbitration Association arbitration. Arbitration will follow the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Arbitration will happen in city_for_disputes. You will settle any dispute as an individual, and not as part of a class action or other representative proceeding, whether as the plaintiff or a class member. No arbitrator will consolidate any dispute with any other arbitration without the organization’s permission.

Any arbitration award will include costs of the arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and reasonable costs for witnesses. You and the organization may enter arbitration awards in any court with jurisdiction.

General Terms

If a provision of these terms is unenforceable as written, but could be changed to make it enforceable, that provision should be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. Otherwise, that provision should be removed.

You may not assign your agreement with the organization. The organization may assign your agreement to any affiliate of the organization, any other organization that obtains control of the organization, or any other organization that buys assets of the organization related to the forum. Any attempted assignment against these terms has no legal effect.

Neither the exercise of any right under this Agreement, nor waiver of any breach of this Agreement, waives any other breach of this Agreement.

These terms embody all the terms of agreement between you and the organization about use of the forum. These terms entirely replace any other agreements about your use of the forum, written or not.

Contact

You are requested to notify the organization under these terms, and send questions to the organization via messaging the Administrators.

The organization may notify you under these terms using the e-mail address you provide for your account on the forum, or by posting a message to the homepage of the forum or your account page.

Changes

The organization last updated these terms on August 5th, 2022, and may update these terms at any time. For updates that contain substantial changes, the organization agrees to e-mail you, if you’ve created an account and provided a valid e-mail address. The organization may also announce updates with special messages or alerts on the forum.

Once you get notice of an update to these terms, it is assumed you agree to the new terms in order to keep using the forum. If any of the new terms are not clear to you, or you object to any of the modified or amended terms, you may contact the Administrators to close your account.
