TERMS OF USE
Welcome to Our Website!
Thanks for visiting our website! We’re here to make a difference in bullying prevention, and we’re thrilled to have you join us on that mission. Before you start exploring, please take a minute to check out these terms and conditions. They outline the site’s rules and help keep things running smoothly.
Section 1 – Acceptance of Terms
You agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy using our website. We know it’s a lot of legal talk, but it’s all important! Please don’t use the site if you’re not cool with the terms. It’s as simple as that.
Section 2 – Age Requirement and Parental Consent
You must be 18 or older to use this site alone. If you’re under 18, you’ll need permission from your parent or legal guardian to use the site. Your parent or guardian is also responsible for anything you do here, so ensure you have that green light before diving in!
Section 3 – Our Stuff, Not Yours
Everything you see on this site – from our name and logo to videos, images, and content – belongs to us, or we have permission to use it. You’re welcome to check it out and share it in the ways we allow, but you can’t steal, rebrand, or use it for anything outside of what’s okay here.
Section 4 – Photos and Artwork You Submit
If you send us photos or artwork, you permit us to use them however we see fit, anywhere and everywhere – forever. Make sure you own the rights to what you submit, and if you’re under 18, have a parent or guardian’s permission. By sending it in, you agree that we can use it in our content without paying you anything or offering royalties. Also, you’re saying the stuff you send us doesn’t belong to anyone else.
Section 5 – Educational Use Only
This website is all about educating and raising awareness about bullying prevention. It’s not a platform for selling things or making a profit. Please don’t use our content for commercial purposes unless we say it’s ok. If you’re sharing our stuff (with our permission), please give us proper credit.
Section 6 – Be Cool and Respectful
When you use this website, please be respectful to others. Don’t post anything offensive, harassing, or inappropriate. We want to keep this space positive, safe, and welcoming. If you use the site for any bad behavior (like bullying or spamming), we reserve the right to block or ban you immediately.
Section 7 – We’ll Kick You Off If Necessary
If you break any of these terms, we can cancel your access to the website. We don’t want to, but we will if we have to. So please, stick to the rules!
Section 8 – Links to Other Sites
We may link to other websites, but just because we link to them doesn’t mean we’re responsible for them. When you leave our site, you’re on your own. We recommend reading the terms and policies of any other sites you visit.
Section 9 – Purchases and Third-Party Terms
If you buy something through our website, know that the transactions are handled by Woocommerse (not us). Woocommerse has its own rules and policies, so ensure you’re clear on them before purchasing.
Section 10 – No Guarantees
We try to ensure everything on this site is accurate and up-to-date, but we can’t promise everything will always be perfect. This website and its content are provided “as is,” so you’re using them at your own risk. If something goes wrong, we’re not responsible for it.
Section 11 – We’re Not Responsible for Everything
We’re not liable for any damages or losses from using this website. That means no responsibility for things like losing data, interruptions to your business, or anything else that could go wrong while using our site.
Section 12 – You’re on the Hook for Any Problems You Cause
If you break these terms or cause any problems for us, you agree to take full responsibility. That includes paying for any legal fees or other costs we might have because of your actions.
Section 13 – Governing Law and Where Disputes Happen
The laws of the United States and Pennsylvania govern these Terms of Use. If we have any legal issues, they’ll be handled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Section 14 – Everything in One Place
These Terms of Use are the final word for using our website. If we update anything, we’ll post the new version here, so you must check this page regularly for updates.
Section 15 – Anti-Spamming and Harassment Policy
We hate spam as much as you do. If you use this site to send unsolicited messages, harass anyone, or engage in disruptive behavior, we will take it seriously. We won’t hesitate to report you to the authorities and press charges if necessary. Keep things friendly and respectful!
Section 16 – Updates to These Terms
We might update these Terms of Use occasionally, so make sure to check back every so often. The most recent version will always be available on this page.
