Third-Party Links & Resources

The Site may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites, platforms, resources, and services, including partner organizations, grant-making institutions, social media networks, and event platforms. These links are provided for informational convenience and do not constitute an endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by the Foundation of the linked content, organization, or service.

The Foundation has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy practices, security measures, or terms of service of any third-party site. You access third-party sites entirely at your own risk, and you agree that the Foundation shall not be liable for any harm, loss, or damage arising from your use of or reliance on any third-party site or its content.

Third parties linking to the Foundation's Site must do so in a manner that is fair, legal, and does not damage our reputation or imply endorsement. Framing, embedding, or hotlinking of Foundation Content without prior written authorization is strictly prohibited.

Privacy & Data Protection

Your use of the Site and Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. The Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal information, as well as your rights regarding that information.

Disclaimers & Warranties

Information published on the Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, medical, psychological, or professional advice. The Foundation strongly encourages users to seek qualified professional counsel for any decisions of legal, financial, health, or personal significance.

Program outcomes described on the Site are illustrative of typical results and do not guarantee individual outcomes. Youth empowerment is a complex and deeply personal journey, and the Foundation makes no representations regarding specific results any participant may achieve.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, HUMANDREAM Foundation, Inc., its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, affiliates, program partners, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Site or Services, including but not limited to damages for loss of data, loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage, or any other commercial damages or losses.

In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the Foundation's liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. In no event shall the Foundation's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount of charitable donations you made to the Foundation in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim; or (b) one hundred United States dollars (US$100.00).

The disclaimers and limitations in this section reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between you and the Foundation, and are a fundamental basis of the bargain between the parties. The Foundation would not be able to provide its mission-driven services without these limitations.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HUMANDREAM Foundation, Inc. and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Site or Services; (b) your violation of this Agreement or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your User Content or any claims that your User Content infringes, misappropriates, or violates any third-party right; (d) your negligent or willful misconduct; or (e) any misrepresentation made by you to the Foundation.

The Foundation reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate fully with the Foundation in asserting any available defenses. You may not settle any claim subject to this indemnification without the Foundation's prior written consent.

Termination of Access

The Foundation reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate your access to the Site, any account, or any Services — with or without notice — for any reason, including but not limited to a breach of this Agreement, fraudulent activity, conduct harmful to the Foundation's mission or community, or as required by applicable law.

Upon termination: your right to access and use the Site ceases immediately; any licenses granted to you under this Agreement are revoked; the Foundation may, but is not required to, delete your account and User Content; and provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation Sections 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14.

You may terminate your own account or relationship with the Foundation at any time by contacting us in writing. Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that arose prior to termination, including any outstanding donation commitments or program agreements.

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of [State], without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any legal action, proceeding, or dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Site shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of competent jurisdiction located in [County], [State], and you hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Informal Resolution: Prior to initiating any formal legal proceeding, both parties agree to attempt good-faith informal resolution of any dispute. You may contact the Foundation at contact@humandream.org describing the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. The Foundation will respond within thirty (30) days. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of initiation of informal resolution, either party may proceed to formal dispute resolution.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against the Foundation. Any dispute must be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Foundation retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of its intellectual property or other proprietary rights.

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if it cannot be so modified, severed from this Agreement.
