Permitted Use of the Website:
Our website is intended to provide information about our nonprofit mission, programs, and opportunities to support or engage with us. You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of the site by any third party. Specifically, you agree that you will not:

• Use the website in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair any of our servers or the networks connected to them.

• Engage in any data mining, scraping, crawling, or collection of personally identifiable information about other users of the site.

• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the site, other user accounts, or any systems or networks connected to the site (for example, by hacking, password “mining,” or any other illegitimate means).

• Use the site to transmit or post any false, misleading, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or otherwise objectionable content. This includes refraining from uploading any content that contains viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, or other harmful programming routines.

• Use any automated means (such as bots or scripts) to access the site or collect content without our express written permission, except that standard indexing by search engines is permitted.

We grant you a limited, revocable license to access and make personal, non-commercial use of our website. You may download or print pages from the site for your own informational use, but you may not modify, reproduce, distribute, or exploit any content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent. Any unauthorized use of the site or its content terminates the permission or license granted by these Terms and may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

Intellectual Property Rights:
All content on the Help Learning website – including text, graphics, logos, images, video/audio clips, documents, digital downloads, and software – is the property of Help Learning or our content providers and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. The compilation of all content on this site is the exclusive property of Help Learning. Help Learning™ and our logos, taglines, and program names are trademarks or service marks of our organization. You may not use our trademarks in any manner (including in meta tags or advertising) without explicit written permission.

You are welcome to share information from our site for personal or educational purposes, such as in social media posts or school projects, provided that you give appropriate credit to Help Learning and do not remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices. If you wish to reproduce or use our content beyond fair use (for example, in a publication, on another website, or for commercial use), please contact us for permission. We generally encourage the dissemination of our nonprofit materials for educational and charitable purposes, but written permission is required for uses outside the scope of what the law allows as fair use.

Any unauthorized use of materials on this site may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and communications regulations and statutes. We vigorously protect our intellectual property rights to safeguard the integrity of our educational content and brand.

User Contributions and Interactive Features:
At present, our website [does/does not] offer interactive features that allow users to submit content (such as comments on blog posts, guestbook entries, or discussion forums). (If the site does not have such features, this section may be skipped or stated as not applicable.) If in the future we introduce features that allow you to post or upload content, the following terms will apply: Any content that you submit to our site (for example, comments, testimonials, or multimedia) must be your own work or used with permission, and by submitting it you grant Help Learning a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and publish that content in connection with our mission. You will also be solely responsible for what you post, and you agree not to submit anything illegal, offensive, or infringing others’ rights. We would also reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove user-submitted content at our discretion.

Privacy and Data Use:
Our Privacy Policy (see above) describes how we collect and use information about users of our website. By using the site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy. If you submit personal information through the site (for example, by making a donation or signing up for a newsletter), you agree that we can handle that information consistent with our Privacy Policy. We do not seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through the site; any use of the site by minors should be under the supervision of an adult, and any personal data submitted by minors is subject to our Privacy Policy’s terms regarding children’s privacy.

External Links Disclaimer:
For convenience and informational purposes, our website may contain links to external websites or resources that are not operated by Help Learning. These may include partner organizations, references, sponsor websites, or social media platforms. Please note: A link from our site to an external site does not imply an endorsement or approval of that site’s content, policies, or practices. We do not have control over those external sites and therefore cannot be responsible for the availability, accuracy, or legality of any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites. When you follow a link to an external site, you do so at your own risk. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. Help Learning shall not be liable for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of third-party websites. If you find a link on our site that is broken or points to inappropriate content, we welcome you to notify us so we can consider removing or updating it.

Disclaimer of Warranties:
Use of this site is at your own risk. Help Learning’s website and all content therein are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that: (a) the site will be available at any particular time or location, or uninterrupted or secure; (b) any defects or errors will be corrected; or (c) the site is free of viruses or other harmful components.

While we strive for accuracy, we make no warranty that the information on our site is complete, correct, or up-to-date. For example, there might be occasional typographical errors or outdated information (such as older announcements or reports). We reserve the right to make corrections or improvements to the site’s content at any time without notice. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us through the site shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

If you are in a jurisdiction that does not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such case, our warranties are limited to the minimum extent required by the applicable law.

Limitation of Liability:
Under no circumstances will Help Learning, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the website or the content, information, software, services, or materials included on or otherwise made available to you through this site. This includes, but is not limited to, damages for errors, omissions, interruptions, defects, delays, computer viruses, loss of profits, loss of data, unauthorized access, and any other tangible or intangible losses.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the use of the site or these Terms, regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, is limited to the amount, if any, that you have paid to us for use of the site or for services related to the site in the 12 months prior to the claim (typically, for mere site usage, this amount will be $0). In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent allowed by law.

You specifically acknowledge that Help Learning shall not be liable for user-submitted content (if any) or for the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any third party, and that the risk of harm or damage from the foregoing rests entirely with you as the user.

Indemnification:
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Help Learning and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the website or services obtained through the website; (b) any user content you submit or actions you take via the site; (c) your breach of any provision of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction:
These Terms of Use and any disputes arising out of or relating to the website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [State of Incorporation], United States, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles. By using the site, you agree that any legal action or proceeding between you and Help Learning shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction located in [County/City], [State] (or, if appropriate, the United States District Court with jurisdiction over that area). You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objections (such as inconvenient forum) to the jurisdiction or venue of those courts. If you access the website from locations outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local laws if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

Termination of Access:
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the website (or any portion thereof) at any time, with or without notice, for any conduct that we, in our sole discretion, believe is harmful to our interests (including but not limited to infringement of our rights or those of a third party, or if we suspect that you have violated the letter or spirit of these Terms). Additionally, we may investigate any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity on the site and take appropriate legal action. Upon termination, the provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive (such as intellectual property rights, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law, etc.) shall remain in effect.

Entire Agreement and Severability:
These Terms of Use, together with any other legal notices or policies published by us on the website (including our Privacy Policy and any applicable fundraising terms), constitute the entire agreement between you and Help Learning concerning your use of the site, superseding any prior agreements between us regarding the same subject matter. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be deemed severable from the rest of the Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The failure of Help Learning to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
