‍

All trademarks, service marks, and trade names used on the Site or in the Content — including the WMLF name, corporate logo, the Site name, the Site design, and any logos (collectively, “Marks”) — are trademarks or registered trademarks of WMLF or our affiliates, partners, vendors, or licensors in the United States or other countries. You may not use, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, distribute, or modify any Marks in any way without our prior written consent.

‍
8. Submissions
If we invite or request Submissions in connection with the Site, you may submit such content — such as comments on blog posts, community participation (“Submissions”). The following terms apply to your Submissions.

‍
Solicited Submissions. You may only submit content that you have the right to submit and that is not confidential, and you may not post a photograph of another person without that person’s permission. You grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide, and fully sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, perform, and display your Submissions — and your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in them — in whole or in part, in any form and through any media or technology, to operate and provide the Site. Submissions are non-confidential, and we have no obligation to keep any information in a Submission confidential.

‍
Inappropriate Submissions. You may not submit anything that results from, reflects, or portrays activity that: (a) may create a risk of harm, loss, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or illness to you, any other person, or any animal; (b) may create a risk of any other loss or damage to any person or property; or (c) may constitute a crime or tort. You confirm that you have not and will not engage in any of these activities in creating your Submissions. You also will not, in connection with your Submissions: inflict emotional distress on or humiliate others; assault or threaten others; infringe or misappropriate anyone’s intellectual property; impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation, title, or authority; send or post unsolicited advertisements or “spam”; or otherwise engage in any activity that may result in injury, death, property damage, or liability of any kind.

‍
We may (but are not required to) monitor Submissions, and we may remove, refuse to post, edit, truncate, or excerpt any Submission in our sole discretion. In addition to any other remedies available to us, if we determine in our sole discretion that you have violated or are likely to violate these prohibitions or any rules or policies linked in these Terms, we may take any action we deem necessary, including banning you from the Site and removing the related materials at any time without notice. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Submissions you or any third party post.

‍
Others’ Submissions. Submissions do not represent our views or those of anyone associated with us, and we do not control them. You will not suggest, directly or indirectly, that we endorse any Submission. We do not vouch for the accuracy or credibility of any Submission and assume no liability for any action you take based on one. Through the Site, you may be exposed to Submissions you find offensive, objectionable, harmful, inaccurate, or deceptive, and there may be risks in dealing with underage persons, people acting under false pretenses, international trade issues, and foreign nationals. By using the Site, you assume all of these risks.

‍
9. Donations
WMLF is a nonprofit corporation recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations made through the Site are voluntary, final, and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law or as we may determine in our sole discretion on a case-by-case basis. All gifts will be treated as unrestricted and applied at our discretion. Where goods or Sites are provided in connection with a donation (such as event tickets or merchandise), we will disclose the fair market value of those items, and only the amount exceeding that fair market value will constitute a deductible charitable contribution. We reserve the right to decline any donation that conflicts with our mission, values, or applicable law.

‍

If you enroll in a recurring donation program, you authorize us or our third-party payment processor to charge your designated payment method at the frequency and amount selected at enrollment. You may cancel at any time by contacting us at least five (5) business days before your next scheduled charge; cancellation applies to future charges only. Donations are processed by one or more third-party payment processors and by submitting payment information you agree to such processors’ terms and privacy policy. We will not sell, rent, or trade your donor information to third parties, and may recognize your contribution publicly unless you request otherwise. We are registered to solicit charitable contributions where required by law; information regarding state charitable registrations is available through your state's Attorney General or applicable charity regulatory authority.

‍
10. Links to Other Websites
The Site may contain links to websites that we and our affiliates do not own, operate, or control. These links are provided solely for your convenience, and if you use them you will leave the Site. Neither we nor our affiliates are responsible for the content, materials, or other information on any third-party website, and we do not endorse, guarantee, or make any representation or warranty about those websites, their content, or the results you may obtain from using them. If you access any website linked to or from the Site, you do so entirely at your own risk.

‍
13. Third-Party Partners
We may promote or link to the services of third parties (“Partners”) within the Site. If you use a Partner’s services, you are transacting directly with the Partner and are bound by the Partner’s terms of service in addition to these Terms. If there is a conflict between these Terms and a Partner’s terms, the Partner’s terms control with respect to the Partner’s services. We do not license any intellectual property to you as part of a Partner’s services and are not responsible or liable for any information or services provided by any Partner.
‍

14. Text Message (SMS/MMS) Communications
We may ask for your affirmative, opt-in consent to receive SMS/MMS mobile alerts, information, promotions, and offers from us. This section applies only if you choose to opt in.

‍

Opting In. By voluntarily opting in to our text message program, you confirm that: (a) you are 18 years of age or older; and (b) you agree to receive periodic SMS/MMS text messages from us, including messages that may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system, to the mobile phone number you provided when opting in.

‍

No Purchase Required. Your consent to receive automated marketing text messages is not a condition of any purchase.

‍

Message and Data Rates. Standard message and data rates may apply. Contact your telephone provider for details. You are solely responsible for all charges related to receiving text messages, including any charges from your telephone provider.

‍

Message Frequency. Message frequency will vary. We reserve the right to adjust how often we send messages at any time. Not all mobile operators support this program, and supported carriers may change from time to time.

‍

How to Opt Out. If you no longer wish to receive text messages from us, or no longer agree to these Terms, reply “STOP” to any text message you receive from us. You may receive one additional confirmation message after opting out, along with instructions on how to rejoin the program if you choose. If you later resubscribe, these Terms will apply again at that time.

‍

Your Phone Number. Any phone number you provide to us, and any consent you give us to send automated marketing text messages, will not be shared with or transferred to any third party for marketing or promotional purposes.
‍

15. Suspension and Termination
Either you or we may terminate or suspend your access to the Site at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. We may also block your access if you breach these Terms, if we cannot verify information you have provided, or if we believe your actions may cause harm or legal liability.

‍

Sections of these Terms that, by their nature, should survive termination will continue to apply after your access ends, including, for example, the sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution.
‍

16. Disclaimers
YOUR USE OF THE SITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SECURITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WMLF AND ITS AFFILIATES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. THE INFORMATION, MATERIALS AND SERVICES PROVIDED ON OR THROUGH THE SITE MAY BE OUT OF DATE, AND NEITHER WMLF, NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY COMMITMENT OR ASSUMES ANY DUTY TO UPDATE SUCH INFORMATION, MATERIALS, OR SERVICES.  NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN FROM OR THROUGH THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

‍

To the extent any implied warranties cannot be disclaimed under applicable law, those warranties are limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
‍

17. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WMLF, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OR OPERATION OF THE SITE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

‍

IN THE EVENT OF ANY PROBLEM WITH THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT, MATERIALS, INFORMATION, OR SERVICES CONTAINED ON THE SITE, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR SOLE REMEDY IS TO CEASE USING THE SITE.

‍

IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS (US $25.00).

‍

THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY EVEN IF THIS REMEDY DOES NOT FULLY COMPENSATE YOU FOR ANY LOSSES OR FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR IF WE KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO ANYTHING OR ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.

‍
Some states do not allow certain limitations on liability, so the above limitations may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
‍

18. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WMLF and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third party’s rights; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation.
‍

19. Release
If you have a dispute with one or more users of the Site, you release WMLF (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and employees) from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with that dispute.
‍

20. Force Majeure
Neither you nor we will be liable for delays or failures in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, natural disasters, power failures, government actions, or labor disputes.
‍

21. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
Any claim relating to, and the use of, this Service and the materials contained herein is governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York. You and WMLF each waive the right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration. A printed version of these Terms will be admissible in judicial and administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring claims relating to intellectual property in any court of competent jurisdiction.

‍

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
‍

22. General
These Terms set out the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements. We do not guarantee that the Site will be available at all times or without interruption.

‍

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be removed, and the rest of the Terms will remain in full effect. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice to you. Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
‍

23. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice
In operating the Site, we may act as a “service provider” (as defined by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or “DMCA”) and offer services as an online provider of materials and links to third-party websites. As a result, third-party materials we do not own or control may be transmitted, stored, accessed, or made available through the Site. We have adopted a policy of promptly removing content, or suspending any user, found to have infringed the rights of WMLF, a third party, or to have otherwise violated any intellectual property laws or these Terms.

‍
If you believe material on the Site infringes a copyright, please notify our designated agent under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2)) at info@thewmlfoundation.org. We will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing and will follow the DMCA’s procedures to resolve the claim between the notifying party and the alleged infringer. Your notice should include:

  • The copyrighted work or other intellectual property you claim has been infringed;
  • The material on the Site you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it;
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner of the copyright interest involved or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;
  • Your address, telephone number, and email address; and
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

We may notify our users of any infringement notice by a general notice on the Site, by email to the user’s email address in our records, or by first-class mail to the user’s physical address in our records. If you receive an infringement notice, you may submit a written counter-notification to our designated agent that includes

  • Your physical or electronic signature;
  • Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled;
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification; and
  • Your name, physical address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your physical address is located (or, if your physical address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the infringement notice or that person’s agent.
