These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you,” “your,” or the “Member”) and Wealth Strategy Media LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the Tweeble website, member portal, mobile-optimized web application, public API, and all related services (collectively, the “Platform” or “Tweeble”).
BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT, CLICKING “I AGREE,” OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM IN ANY MANNER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY, WHICH IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS IN THEIR ENTIRETY, YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.
The Platform is intended solely for business and professional use by adults. By creating an account or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least eighteen (18) years of age; (b) you have the legal capacity and authority to enter into a binding contract with Company, whether on your own behalf or on behalf of an organization you represent; (c) all registration information you submit is truthful, accurate, and complete, and you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and (d) your use of the Platform will not violate any applicable law or regulation. The Platform is not directed to, and no part of the Platform may be used by, any individual under the age of eighteen. If Company becomes aware that an account has been created or is being used by a person under eighteen years of age, Company may immediately suspend or terminate that account without notice.
Tweeble is a membership and media platform operated by Company that provides paying and free-tier members with tools including, without limitation: tiered membership subscriptions; a credit-based ledger system usable toward a catalog of media, marketing, and business-development services (the “Service Marketplace”); a per-profile storefront through which Business and Nonprofit members may list their own Products, Services, Books, and Clothes and Shoes, with a shopping cart and checkout for physical goods, and may create Fundraising Goals and accept Donations (the “Profile Marketplace”); a “Media Pass” purchasable credential; member-hosted events with in-platform ticketing and sponsorship sales; a Speaker Pool directory and in-platform speaker-hire payment mechanism; a Directory; a blog-publishing platform and individual blog author profiles; a Learning Center offering online courses and quick classes for course creators and learners; a relationship-management (“Connections”) tool; an in-app messaging system (“Tweeble Chat”); a referral and affiliate program; a public API allowing certain published Platform content and intake forms to be integrated into a member's own external website; Programs that Business and Nonprofit members may offer and collect signups and payments for; contact forms a member may configure and use on their own external website; an advertising system; a nonprofit verification and discount program; a voluntary Community Supporter Badge program; seller coupons; the Geo Risk Watch hazard-information feature and its community-reported feed; optional automated language-translation features; and related tools. Company may add, modify, or discontinue any feature, tool, or offering of the Platform at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice.
You must register for an account to access most features of the Platform. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to notify Company immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. Company reserves the right to refuse registration, suspend, or terminate any account at its sole discretion, including for suspected fraud, abuse, violation of these Terms, or nonpayment.
Password security.You must protect your account password at all times and must not share it with anyone. You are responsible for choosing a strong, unique password and for keeping it confidential. Company is not responsible for, and disclaims all liability arising from, any hacked, compromised, or stolen account, including any loss of credits, funds, or data resulting from a compromised account, except to the extent caused by Company's own gross negligence or willful misconduct. If you believe your account has been hacked or compromised, you are encouraged to contact Company immediately at our Contact page so we can help secure your account.
Security incidents. Company uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Platform and the information on it, but no online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and Company does not warrant or guarantee that the Platform will be free from unauthorized access, security incidents, or data breaches.To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Company disclaims all liability for any unauthorized access to, or acquisition, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of, your account or data, except to the extent directly caused by Company's own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event of a security incident affecting your information, Company will provide any notification required by applicable law, but providing that notification is not an admission of fault or liability. See Section 24 (Limitation of Liability) for the overall cap on Company's liability, which applies to any claim arising from a security incident to the same extent as any other claim.
Certain features of the Platform require a paid membership subscription, a Speaker Pool or Business Directory listing subscription, a Learning Center Course Creator or Course Creator profile subscription, or other recurring or one-time fees (collectively, “Fees”). All Fees are processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe, Inc. Company does not store your full payment card number.
Recurring subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually, as selected) at the then-current price for your plan, until you cancel. You may cancel a recurring subscription at any time from within the Platform; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current, already-paid billing period, and you retain access to the corresponding features through that date. Company may change the price of any membership plan, listing subscription, or other recurring Fee prospectively upon notice; continued use of the Platform after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new price for subsequent billing periods.
If a payment fails and is not resolved within the applicable grace period, Company may suspend your account's access to paid features until payment is resolved, as further described in Section 26 below.
Payment authorization.By providing a payment method and completing a purchase, subscription, or other transaction on the Platform, you represent and warrant that you are the authorized holder of that payment method (or have the account holder's express authorization to use it), and you authorize Company and its payment processor to charge that payment method for all Fees associated with your account, including recurring subscription renewals, one-time purchases, and any other charges you initiate, until you cancel in accordance with these Terms. This authorization also covers purchases you make from Sellers (see Section 9): a single checkout, including a shopping-cart checkout that contains items from several Sellers, may result in one payment that covers several separate sales, each of which is a sale between you and the applicable Seller and not a sale by Company. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your payment credentials and account login information; Company does not have access to, and does not control, your bank's or card issuer's security measures, and is not responsible for unauthorized use of your payment method that results from your failure to keep your own credentials secure.
Electronic records as evidence.To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that Company's and its payment processors' electronic records of your account and your transactions are admissible in any Claim, arbitration, court proceeding, or payment-network dispute, and are presumptive (rebuttable) proof of the transactions, communications, and actions they record. Those records include account, login, and session logs; timestamps; IP-address, device, and browser data; order, checkout, and payment records; messages and notifications sent or received through the Platform; the record of your acceptance of these Terms; and delivery, shipment, fulfillment, or completion confirmations and tracking information entered by a Seller or by Company. You waive any objection to their admissibility on the ground that they are electronic, are not the original, or were generated or kept by Company or its processors, and you agree that Company may submit them, and information about your account and the transaction, to its payment processor, the card networks, your card issuer or bank, and any arbitrator, court, or government authority, as permitted by law and our Privacy Policy. Nothing in this paragraph limits any right you have under applicable law, or under card-network rules, to dispute a charge that was genuinely unauthorized or made in error, and Company is not responsible for any decision a payment processor, card network, or bank makes.
“Credits” are a platform-internal unit of account issued to members (through base plan allocations, promotional bonuses, referral bonuses, rollover, administrative adjustment, or purchase) that may be applied toward eligible services in the Service Marketplace or eligible listings in the Profile Marketplace. A “Media Pass” is a separately purchasable credential described on the Platform at the time of purchase.
Any promotional welcome-bonus credit issued at signup is offered solely at Company's discretion, may differ by membership tier, and may be changed, reduced, or discontinued at any time without notice - including for one tier while continuing for another. Ending or changing a promotion has no retroactive effect on promotional credits already issued to an existing account; those remain subject to the expiration, rollover, and other terms that applied when they were issued.
Credits and Media Passes: (a) have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash, except through the specific earnings-to-credit or credit-adjustment mechanisms Company may make available from time to time within the Platform; (b) are non-transferable except through the Platform's own gifting feature, where offered; (c) may expire or be subject to rollover limitations as described on the Platform or in your account; and (d) may be forfeited upon account termination as described in Section 24. Company reserves the right to modify credit issuance rates, rollover percentages, service credit costs, and related mechanics prospectively at any time.
Except as expressly set forth in this Section 6, all sales are final and non-refundable, and all Fees and other amounts paid through the Platform are non-refundable. Neither Company nor any Seller (through the Platform) is obligated, as a matter of right, to refund, credit, or exchange any purchase, whether the amount was paid to Company or to a Seller through the Platform. This no-refund policy applies without limitation to: membership subscription payments already charged for the current billing period; Speaker Pool listing fees; credit top-up purchases; Media Pass purchases; event ticket and event sponsorship purchases; Speaker Pool hire payments; Greeting Card purchases; Profile Marketplace Product, Service, book, clothing, and shoe purchases; Program signups; Membership Package purchases; Learning Center course and quick class purchases; every other sale made through the Platform; and donations of every kind (including Fundraising Goal contributions, profile Donations, suggested donations made with an event registration, donations to Relief Alliance, and donations to the Nepal Flood Relief Fund). (Publishing a Directory profile is offered at no charge; it is not a Fee and is not addressed by this Section.) Cancelling a recurring subscription stops future billing but does not entitle you to a refund, in whole or in part, of any amount already charged for the then-current billing period; you retain access through the end of that period as described in Section 4.
Donations are never refundable and are never eligible for a Claim, without exception. By making a Fundraising Goal contribution, a profile Donation, a suggested donation made with an event registration, a donation to Relief Alliance, or a donation to the Nepal Flood Relief Fund, you acknowledge and agree that the donation is final the moment it is made, that Company will not refund it under any circumstance (including if the recipient's goal is never reached, the recipient never uses the funds, or you simply change your mind), and that no Claim under Section 7 may be filed with respect to any donation. See Section 9 and Section 17 for additional terms governing Fundraising Goals and Donations.
The following limited exceptions apply, reflecting mechanisms actually built into the Platform:
No other refund mechanism exists on the Platform as of the effective date of these Terms. Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, issue a refund, credit, or other accommodation outside of the foregoing exceptions on a case-by-case basis; doing so in one instance creates no obligation for Company to do so in any other instance, and does not waive Company's rights under this Section 6.
Seller return policies.A Seller may state its own return, exchange, or refund policy on a listing. A Seller's policy is the Seller's own undertaking to the buyer; it is not a Company policy, does not create any obligation of Company or any right to a refund from Company, and does not expand or limit this Section 6, Section 7, Section 9A, or any other protection of Company. Company does not review, verify, or enforce Seller policies, and no Seller has any authority to make a promise or commitment on Company's behalf.
If a refund is ever processed.If a refund is ever processed for a sale for any reason (including a Claim outcome, an action by Company's payment processor, a chargeback or payment dispute, or otherwise), then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) any affiliate commission earned on that sale is reversed, and the Seller's Earnings from that sale are reversed, in the corresponding amounts (in proportion, for a partial refund); (b) if any of those amounts has already been paid out, converted to credits, or otherwise released to the recipient, the recipient owes that amount back to Company, and Company may deduct it from the recipient's future Earnings, credits, or any other amount Company owes the recipient, and may suspend or withhold payouts until it is settled; (c) whether Company returns, credits, or keeps any portion of its own commission or processing fees on a refunded sale is in Company's sole discretion, and Company has no obligation to return any of them; and (d) the Seller bears the cost of every refund, chargeback, and payment dispute (including related fees, penalties, and costs) on the Seller's own sales. See Section 14 and Section 25.
Greeting Cards. A Greeting Card purchase is delivered by email to the recipient address you provide. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the recipient email address, and Company is not liable for, and will not refund, a Greeting Card that is not delivered because of an incorrect or invalid recipient address you provided. A portion of Company's revenue from Greeting Card purchases is allocated to the Nepal Relief and Recovery Fund as described in Section 17; that allocation does not make any part of a Greeting Card purchase a donation, and no part of a Greeting Card purchase is tax-deductible.
Payment disputes and chargebacks. If you believe you were charged in error or are dissatisfied with a purchase, you agree to use the Claims and Disputes process described in Section 7 (where applicable) or contact Company at the address in Section 30, and give Company an opportunity to resolve the issue directly, rather than initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer for a charge you authorized. Initiating a chargeback for a Fee you authorized, without first attempting to resolve the matter with Company, is a breach of these Terms.
Company will contest any chargeback or payment dispute it believes in good faith to be invalid, including by submitting records of your account activity, these Terms, and your authorization of the charge to Company's payment processor and card networks. If a chargeback or payment dispute is resolved in Company's favor, or if Company otherwise determines in good faith that a chargeback was initiated for a Fee you authorized and validly owed, Company may, without limiting any other remedy: (a) immediately suspend or terminate your account and access to the Platform; (b) reverse or claw back any credits, Media Passes, or services obtained through the disputed charge; and (c) pursue collection of the disputed amount, together with any chargeback, processing, or collection fees Company incurs as a result, from you directly. See Section 25 for your related indemnification obligations.
Required steps before a chargeback; breach; remedies.Before you initiate a chargeback or any other payment dispute with your bank, card issuer, or payment provider for a charge made through the Platform, you must first contact Company at the address in Section 30 and, for a sale by a Seller that is eligible for a Claim, submit a Claim under Section 7 within the time stated there, and you must give Company a reasonable opportunity to respond. A chargeback or payment dispute filed without first doing so, or filed in bad faith (including one that disputes a charge you authorized, that falsely states that a charge was unauthorized, that an item or service was not received when the Platform's records show it was delivered or performed, or that concerns a matter you have already resolved, been refunded for, or agreed to), is a material breach of these Terms. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if you commit that breach Company may, in addition to the remedies described above and without limiting any other right or remedy: (a) suspend or terminate your account, listings, and access to the Platform; (b) withhold and offset the disputed amount and all related costs against any Earnings, credits, or other amounts Company owes you; (c) pursue recovery of the disputed amount together with all chargeback, processing, and penalty fees and Company's reasonable collection costs and attorneys' fees; (d) decline future transactions with you; and (e) share information about the dispute and your account with payment processors, card networks, financial institutions, and law-enforcement and other authorities, as permitted by law. Nothing in this paragraph limits any right you have under applicable law that cannot be waived, and Company is not responsible for any decision a payment processor, card network, or bank makes about a chargeback or dispute. For a sale by a Seller, the Seller bears the cost of a chargeback or dispute as described in Sections 14 and 25.
For any sale made through the Platform — including, without limitation, a Profile Marketplace Product, Service, book, clothing, or shoe purchase, a Program signup, a Membership Package purchase, an event ticket or sponsorship, a Speaker Pool hire, a Learning Center course or quick class, and a Service Marketplace redemption — the Platform provides a claims process (a “Claim”) that you may always open with Company, whether you are a member or a guest buyer. A Claim is opened through the in-app claims tool where one is offered for the purchase and otherwise by contacting Company at the address in Section 30, and Company will handle it as a Claim. Claims are reviewed and decided by Company's internal claims-review function (“Tweeble Claims”). The decision of Tweeble Claims on any Claim is final, and Tweeble Claims retains sole and complete discretion over whether to approve a Claim and, if approved, what remedy (if any) to award. Filing a Claim, or having a Claim decided in your favor, is never guaranteed and is not a right you can compel Company to exercise in any particular way.
Donations are never eligible for a Claim, under any circumstance. See Section 6.
A Claim can always be opened for a sale, but opening one guarantees nothing.Opening a Claim does not guarantee a refund, credit, or any other outcome, does not suspend or excuse any obligation you have under these Terms, and does not create any obligation of Company to you. Tweeble Claims decides each Claim in its sole discretion, may require the Seller or other respondent to respond, may request additional information from any party, and may place a hold on, or withhold, the respondent's related Earnings while a Claim is pending. Any resolution by Tweeble Claims, including a decision not to award any remedy, is final. Where Tweeble Claims approves a monetary remedy, the amount is the responsibility of the Seller or other respondent, and Company may fund it by reversing or deducting it from the respondent's Earnings and the related affiliate commission, as described in Sections 6 and 14.
If a Product, book, clothing or shoe item, or Service you purchased through the Profile Marketplace was not fulfilled, was not as described, or was otherwise unsatisfactory, Company encourages you to first leave a public review of the selling business or nonprofit as described in Section 9 — this helps other members make informed decisions regardless of whether you also file a Claim. You are separately encouraged, but not required, to file a Claim if you believe the purchase was not fulfilled or was materially deficient; as with every other Claim, Tweeble Claims decides the outcome in its sole discretion.
To file a Claim, you (the “claimant”) must, through the Platform:
A Claim submitted without supporting evidence may be rejected by Tweeble Claims without further review.
Where a Claim identifies another member as the respondent (the “respondent”) — for example, an Event Creator, a hired speaker, a Profile Marketplace seller (including a seller of books, clothing, or shoes), a Program or Membership Package seller, or a Course Creator — the respondent will be notified and may dispute the Claim and submit counter-evidence through the Platform. The respondent has thirty (30) days from notification to respond. If the respondent does not respond within that window, Tweeble Claims may decide the Claim without the respondent having had the opportunity to dispute it.
If the respondent disputes the Claim, Tweeble Claims will review the evidence submitted by both parties and determine whether it has sufficient information to decide the Claim. If Tweeble Claims determines that additional information is needed from either party, it will request that information through Tweeble Chat or another direct in-Platform notification. The party asked to provide additional information has thirty (30) days from the request to respond. If that party does not respond within that window, Tweeble Claims may decide the Claim without the requested information.
Tweeble Claims may, in its sole discretion based on the information available to it: (a) reject the Claim; (b) approve the Claim in full; or (c) approve a partial remedy. A remedy, where approved, is issued as a refund to your original payment method, as platform credits, or by another mechanism Tweeble Claims deems appropriate, consistent with how the underlying purchase was originally paid for. Tweeble Claims is not obligated to award the specific outcome requested by the claimant. Any refund or other remedy that Tweeble Claims approves is subject to Sections 6 and 14, including the reversal of the related Seller Earnings and affiliate commission and the recovery of any amounts already paid out.
Once Tweeble Claims issues a final decision on a Claim, the same underlying matter may not be submitted as a Claim a second time.Filing a Claim, disputing a Claim, or the outcome of a Claim does not waive, limit, or expand any party's rights or obligations under any other provision of these Terms, including the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions of Section 27. Tweeble Claims decisions are made solely to resolve the Claim as between the parties and the Platform, are not an admission of fault or liability by Company, and do not entitle any party to any remedy beyond what Tweeble Claims expressly approves.
Time limit for Claims and disputes about a sale. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Claim, and any other complaint or dispute with Company about a sale or a charge, must be raised within thirty (30) days after the later of (a) the date of the transaction and (b) the date on which the item, service, event, or engagement was delivered or performed or was scheduled to be delivered or performed (or, for a physical item, the delivery date the Seller estimated). Tweeble Claims may reject without review a Claim raised after that period. Where applicable law requires a longer period and that requirement cannot be waived by agreement, the longer period applies only to the extent the law requires it. The delivery, shipment, and completion information a Seller or Company records on the Platform, and the other records described in Section 4, are admissible and presumptive evidence in any Claim.
The Service Marketplace offers a catalog of media, marketing, press, design, event-production, and related services that Company (directly or through its personnel and vendors) fulfills on your behalf in exchange for credits or a direct cash payment, as selected at checkout. Fulfillment timelines, deliverable formats, and specific inclusions are as described on each service's listing at the time of redemption. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate information in any intake form required to fulfill a redemption; incomplete or inaccurate submissions may delay or prevent fulfillment.
Uncontrolled third-party outcomes.Certain services in the Service Marketplace are fulfilled in whole or in part through independent television networks, broadcasters, publishers, magazines, wire services, external blog or web platforms, or other third-party outlets that Company does not own, operate, or control (each, an “Outside Outlet”). Where a service involves an Outside Outlet, Company's obligation is limited to submitting, coordinating, or facilitating your placement with that Outside Outlet in accordance with the service's listing;Company does not control, and is not responsible for, an Outside Outlet's decision to accept, schedule, air, publish, edit, delay, or remove any placement, or the manner, timing, or duration of its publication.An Outside Outlet's acceptance, editorial, and scheduling decisions are made solely by that Outside Outlet, are outside Company's control, and are not guaranteed by Company. This Section 8 does not expand any refund right beyond Section 6, and does not limit the general disclaimers in Section 23 or the limitation of liability in Section 24.
Business and Nonprofit members may list their own Products, Services, books, clothing, and shoes for sale directly from their published profile, and may also create Fundraising Goals and accept general Donations directly from their published profile (collectively, the “Profile Marketplace”). The Profile Marketplace is a separate feature from, and operates independently of, the curated Service Marketplace described in Section 8. A buyer may pay for a Profile Marketplace Product or Service using platform credits (“Redeem”) where the listing accepts credits, or by direct cash payment (“Buy Now”) processed through Stripe, as offered on the listing.
Company is not the seller, manufacturer, provider, or merchant of record for any Product or Service listed in the Profile Marketplace, and is not the recipient of any Fundraising Goal contribution or Donation made through the Profile Marketplace.Every Profile Marketplace listing is created, described, priced, and fulfilled entirely by the member who lists it (the “seller” or, for a Fundraising Goal or Donation, the “recipient”), not by Company. Company's role is limited to hosting the listing, processing the payment or credit redemption, and making the resulting funds or credits available to the seller or recipient as described in this Section and in Section 14. Company does not inspect, test, verify, endorse, or guarantee the existence, quality, safety, legality, accuracy, or fitness for any purpose of any Product, Service, Fundraising Goal, or the use of any Donation, and is not a party to, and assumes no responsibility for, the underlying transaction or relationship between a buyer or donor and the seller or recipient.
Sellers are solely responsible for fulfillment.A seller of a Product (including a book, clothing, or shoe item) is solely responsible for accurately describing the Product, packaging it appropriately, and shipping it to the buyer using the shipping and contact information collected at the time of purchase, within a reasonable time. A seller of a Service is solely responsible for delivering that Service as described in the listing. Company provides the seller with the buyer's full order details, including quantity, price paid, any custom or intake-form responses, and (for a Product) the buyer's name, contact details, gift designation, special notes, and complete shipping address, so the seller can fulfill the order; a seller's failure to fulfill an order, to ship a Product, or to deliver a Service as described is a matter between the buyer and the seller, addressed through the Claims and Disputes process in Section 7 where eligible, not a default or obligation of Company.
Books, clothing, and shoes. Business and Nonprofit members may list books (in hardcover, softcover, or other formats, with an author biography and a stated condition of new, used, or really used) and clothing and shoes (with sizes, sizing systems, colors, and materials), each with the price options, photographs, delivery charges, tax rate, return policy, delivery estimate, and ship-to regions that the seller chooses. Every such item is sold as described by the seller. Titles, descriptions, author biographies, formats, condition, sizes, sizing systems, colors, materials, measurements, fit, and photographs are the seller's own representations, not Company's, and Company does not verify them. Colors as displayed may vary from the actual item because of screen and lighting differences, and sizing and fit may vary between sellers, brands, and sizing systems. Used and “really used” books, and any other used item, are sold as-is: to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the buyer accepts the item in the condition the seller describes, and Company makes no warranty as to its condition.
Shopping cart and checkout.The Platform includes a shopping cart that lets a buyer, whether a member or a guest, add items and check out together, including items from several different sellers, or use “Buy Now” for a single item. Each seller's items in a cart are a separate sale between the buyer and that seller. Company is not the seller of any item in a cart, is not a party to any sale, and combining items from several sellers in one checkout does not make Company the seller, a joint seller, or responsible for any item or for any seller's performance. Adding an item to a cart does not guarantee its price or availability until the order is completed and paid. To complete an order, the buyer provides a shipping name and address, an email address, a phone number where requested, whether the order is a gift, and any special note, and that information is provided to the applicable seller so that the seller can fulfill the order (see Section 9A and the Privacy Policy). The buyer is solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that information, and Company is not liable for non-delivery, misdelivery, or delay resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address or other detail the buyer provided.
Programs.Business and Nonprofit members may also publish Programs (free or paid, one-time or recurring) and collect signups for them, with or without a Tweeble account on the participant's side. The member offering a Program is solely responsible for the Program, including its content, scheduling, safety, any minimum-age requirement, and compliance with applicable law; Company does not organize, supervise, or guarantee any Program and is not a party to the relationship between the member and a participant. Paid Program signups are processed and split as described in this Section, and are subject to Section 6 and, where eligible, Section 7.
Commission and affiliate splits.Where Company processes a Profile Marketplace Product or Service purchase (including a book, clothing, or shoe purchase), or a Fundraising Goal contribution or Donation, on a member's behalf, Company retains a platform commission from the full sale or donation amount, at the percentage disclosed on the Platform at the time of the transaction (currently twenty percent (20%) of the full amount, though Company may change this percentage prospectively at any time by updating the rate disclosed on the Platform). Where the sale or donation was referred through another member's affiliate link, that member earns an affiliate commission equal to the affiliate's membership-tier percentage (currently 5% for Free, 10% for Starter, 15% for Growth, and 20% for Authority, which is the maximum) of the amount remaining after Company's commission (currently eighty percent (80%) of the full amount). The affiliate commission is paid out of the seller's or recipient's share, not in addition to Company's commission and not at any additional cost to the buyer. The remainder, after Company's commission and any affiliate commission, is paid to the seller or recipient as Earnings under Section 14. The same structure (Company's commission on the full amount, then the affiliate's percentage of what remains) applies to the Learning Center (Section 11), to events (Section 12, where the Event Creator sets the affiliate's percentage), to Adopt a School, to speaker hires, and to the Service Marketplace, on the percentages disclosed on the Platform at the time of the transaction. Donations described in Section 17 are governed by that Section. Company's commission, any affiliate commission, and the seller's or recipient's proceeds are all calculated on the amount the buyer actually paid, after any coupon or discount. The full affiliate structure, including each membership tier's percentage, is set out in Section 15A.
Reviews.Whether or not a Product or Service purchase was satisfactory, Company encourages the buyer to leave a public review of the selling business or nonprofit through the Platform's review feature. Reviews are moderated by the profile owner, not by Company, before they are shown publicly, as further described on the Platform.
Donations are final and non-refundable, and are never eligible for a Claim.See Section 6. By contributing to a Fundraising Goal or making a Donation through the Profile Marketplace, you acknowledge that you are donating directly to the recipient member or organization (net of Company's commission described above), that Company does not control or guarantee how the recipient ultimately uses the funds, and that your contribution is made with full knowledge that it cannot be refunded and cannot be the subject of a Claim, regardless of whether the Fundraising Goal is ever reached or how the funds are used. Section 9C describes the limited, non-guaranteed statement about the potential tax treatment of donations to verified Nonprofit members.
Independent sellers.Every Business and Nonprofit that lists a Product, Service, book, clothing or shoe item, Program, Membership Package, Event, Course, Fundraising Goal, or anything else for sale or donation on the Platform (a “Seller”) is an independent person or organization running its own business. Company is a technology provider that makes tools available; Company is not the seller, manufacturer, distributor, shipper, or fulfillment provider of anything a Seller offers, is not a party to any sale between a Seller and a buyer, and is not the agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or representative of any Seller. Company does not inspect, verify, control, or guarantee any Seller, any listing, or any order.
The Seller is solely and entirely responsible for everything relating to what it sells, including without limitation: the accuracy and completeness of every listing (including sizes, colors, materials, book formats and condition, author information, measurements, photographs, and descriptions); the quality, safety, legality, authenticity, and fitness of the item or service; inventory; pricing; coupons and discounts it creates; fulfillment, packing, shipping, delivery, and delivery timing; returns, refunds, exchanges, warranties, and customer service; compliance with every applicable law, regulation, licensing, and labeling requirement (including consumer-protection, product-safety, textile and shoe labeling, import and export, and charitable-solicitation laws); and determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting every applicable sales, use, or other tax. Delivery charges, tax rates, ship-from locations, return policies, and delivery estimates shown on a listing are set by the Seller, not by Company, and Company does not verify them. Company does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. To the extent any law requires Company itself to collect or remit a tax on a transaction, Company may do so and may adjust amounts accordingly; otherwise that responsibility remains with the Seller.
Physical goods, shipping, and fulfillment. Every Seller that accepts an order for a physical item (including a book, clothing, or shoes) must fulfill it: pack it appropriately, ship it to the address the buyer provided, and deliver it within the time the Seller stated or, if none, within a reasonable time. As between Company and the Seller, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller alone bears all risk of loss, theft, damage, delay, and non-delivery until the item is delivered to the buyer, and all responsibility for carriers, packaging, customs, duties, import and export compliance, product safety, recalls, labeling, warranties, and taxes. The Seller must keep the order status and any tracking or carrier information it enters on its Fulfill Orders page accurate and current, and is solely responsible for that information; Company does not verify it, does not guarantee any delivery estimate, and does not itself ship, inspect, hold, or take possession of any item. A Seller that does not fulfill an order, or repeatedly fails to fulfill orders on time, may have its listings removed and its account suspended, and Company may withhold, reverse, or offset the related Earnings as described in Sections 6 and 14.
Seller terms and privacy policies.Sellers are encouraged to publish their own terms and conditions and privacy policy, and may upload them to their profile. Company does not review, approve, or endorse those documents, is not a party to them, and is not bound by them. Nothing a Seller states in its own documents or listings creates any obligation of Company or limits any protection of Company under these Terms. Information a buyer gives to complete an order (such as a name, email address, phone number, shipping address, gift designation, or special note) is shared with the Seller so that the Seller can fulfill it, and the Seller is solely responsible for how it uses and protects that information, and a Seller's own privacy policy (if the Seller has uploaded one) governs the Seller's use of it. By ordering from a Seller through the Platform, the buyer directs Company to share that information with the Seller.
Buyer acknowledgment and release. If you buy from, donate to, register with, or otherwise transact with a Seller through the Platform (whether as a member or as a guest), you acknowledge that you are dealing with the Seller and not with Company, that the Seller is entirely responsible for the transaction, and that you will look solely to the Seller for any problem with it.To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you waive and release Company, Wealth Strategy Media LLC, Tweeble, and each of their owners, members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses of every kind (whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive, and whether known or unknown) arising out of or relating to any Seller, any listing, any product or service, any order, or any act or omission of a Seller, including non-delivery, late delivery, misdescription, defects, damage, personal injury, property damage, or a Seller's failure to refund or perform. This release does not limit any right that cannot lawfully be waived, and does not limit the limited, discretionary Claims and Disputes process in Section 7, which is a courtesy process and not an admission of responsibility or liability by Company.
Seller release and indemnity.Each Seller agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that Company and the other persons named in the preceding paragraph are not responsible or liable in any way for the Seller's listings, products, services, orders, fulfillment, taxes, employees, contractors, suppliers, or performance, and the Seller releases them from all related claims. If any legal claim, demand, chargeback, regulatory inquiry, or proceeding is brought against Company or any of those persons by a buyer, donor, participant, government or taxing authority, payment processor, or other third party that arises out of or relates to a Seller or its activity on the Platform, the Seller will, at its own expense, promptly notify Company, defend, indemnify, and hold Company and those persons harmless from all resulting losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, fines, fees, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees), and Company may withhold or offset amounts owed to the Seller (including Earnings) to cover them. This paragraph supplements, and does not limit, Section 25.
Coupons, order information, and status.Coupon codes are created, funded, and honored by the Seller that issues them. A coupon code is valid only for the Seller's own item (or items) for which the Seller created it, and cannot be applied to any other Seller's items or to any other item. The discount comes out of the issuing Seller's proceeds and is not funded by Company, and Company's commission, any affiliate commission, and the Seller's Earnings are all calculated on the amount actually paid after the coupon is applied (see Section 15A). Company is not responsible for any coupon's terms, misuse, or dispute (see also Section 9B). Order statuses, tracking numbers, and delivery information are supplied by Sellers, and Company does not verify them.
Fundraising Goals and Donations. Both Business and Nonprofit members may create Fundraising Goals and accept donations. The fee Company retains on a Fundraising Goal or Donation payment is a fee for the technology, payment-coordination, hosting, and other services Company performs through the Platform, and is not itself a charitable contribution. A Fundraising Goal created by a Business is not a charitable solicitation merely because it is on Tweeble, and Company makes no representation that any contribution to any Seller is tax-deductible or that any Seller is a registered charity, except for the limited, non-guaranteed statement in Section 9C about verified Nonprofit members. Each Seller is solely responsible for any charitable-solicitation registration, permit, disclosure, receipt, or reporting that applies to it, and for how it uses the funds it receives. Donations remain final and non-refundable as described in Sections 6 and 9.
This Section 9A controls if it conflicts with any other part of these Terms as to the matters it covers, and survives termination of your account.
Seller-created coupons.A Seller may create coupon codes, from its Profile page, for its own individual Products, Services, Programs, Membership Packages, books, clothing, and shoes (a coupon is created for one specific item, or for one specific multi-option listing, and is not a site-wide or account-wide code). A coupon works only for the item and the Seller it was created for. It cannot be applied to another Seller's items or to a different item of the same Seller, and a code that does not match the item being bought will not be accepted. The Seller decides the discount (a percentage or a fixed dollar amount), whether the coupon expires (and on what date) or does not expire, and may edit, deactivate, or delete a coupon at any time. A coupon is honored only if it is valid, active, and unexpired at the moment the order is completed and paid, and adding an item to a cart or entering a code does not reserve a price or a discount. A coupon never reduces the merchandise price below zero.
Seller-funded; how amounts are calculated.The discount from a coupon comes out of the issuing Seller's proceeds and is never funded, reimbursed, or guaranteed by Company. Company's twenty percent (20%) fee, any affiliate commission, and the Seller's Earnings are all calculated on the amount the buyer actually paid after the coupon is applied, as described in Sections 9, 14, and 15A. Delivery charges and taxes, where the Seller has configured them, are determined by the Platform as the Seller has set them and as applicable to the order, and are not reduced by a coupon unless the Platform states otherwise. A Seller may not use a coupon to make a buyer bear any cost that these Terms allocate to the Seller.
No cash value; no combining. A coupon has no cash value, is not redeemable for cash or credits, and is not a gift card. Coupons are not combinable with any other discount, including the Community Supporter discount described in Section 16, unless the Platform expressly states otherwise at checkout. If a buyer is eligible for a coupon and another discount on the same item, the buyer receives the single greatest discount, not the sum. A coupon does not apply to donations or Fundraising Goal contributions, to free items, or to anything Company itself sells.
Company's role and limits.Company provides the tool that lets a Seller create and apply coupons and is not a party to the Seller's offer. Company is not responsible for a coupon's terms, for any Seller's decision to create, change, limit, end, or delete a coupon (including before or during a buyer's checkout), for a coupon that is misused, mistyped, shared beyond its intended audience, or applied in error, for a pricing or configuration error the Seller makes, or for any dispute about a coupon. If a coupon is removed, expires, or is not accepted, the buyer's only recourse is to pay the listed price or not buy. A purchase made with a coupon is refunded, if at all, only in the amount actually paid, and Company has no obligation to reissue or restore a coupon after a refund, cancellation, or Claim. Company may void, disable, or reverse any coupon, and any discount or benefit obtained with it, that Company believes in good faith was created or used fraudulently, through error or abuse, in violation of these Terms or of applicable law, or to manipulate Earnings, commissions, or referral or affiliate attribution, and may recover from the responsible person any resulting loss. This Section 9B supplements, and does not limit, the paragraph on coupons in Section 9A and every other protection of Company in these Terms.
Scope.This Section 9C applies only to a Fundraising Goal contribution or a profile Donation made through the Platform directly to a Nonprofit member's own Fundraising Goal or profile, where that member is a verified nonprofit under Section 16 at the time of the donation. It does not apply to donations to Relief Alliance or to the Nepal Flood Relief Fund (Section 17, whose disclaimers are unchanged and continue to apply in full), to a Business member's Fundraising Goal or Donations, to a Nonprofit member that is not verified (or whose verification is later suspended or revoked, as to donations made after that point), to Greeting Cards, or to any purchase.
Possible, not promised.A donation to a verified nonprofit MAY be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by applicable law, but only if the recipient is in fact an organization to which deductible contributions may lawfully be made, and only as the donor's own circumstances allow. Whether, when, and in what amount (if any) a donation is deductible depends on the recipient's legal status and on the donor's own facts, including whether the donor itemizes, applicable percentage limits, whether the donor receives anything of value in return, and the documentation the law requires. Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any donation is or will be deductible in whole or in part in any jurisdiction.
Company is not a charity or a tax advisor and issues no tax receipts for recipients.Company is a technology provider. It is not the recipient of the donation, is not a charitable organization for purposes of the donation, does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice, and does not issue tax receipts, written acknowledgments, or other charitable-contribution documentation on behalf of any recipient. A confirmation, receipt, or payment record that the Platform or its payment processor generates is a record of a payment and is not the recipient's acknowledgment or a tax document. Donors should consult their own tax advisors and keep their own records, including bank and card records.
Verification is limited.Verification under Section 16 is a limited automated and administrative check. It is not a legal determination that an organization is tax-exempt, is in good standing, is eligible to receive deductible contributions, or is the organization named on a profile, and it does not guarantee that the organization's status is current or will continue. Each recipient nonprofit is solely responsible for its own eligibility and status, for issuing any acknowledgment or receipt a donor is entitled to or the law requires, for its reporting and charitable-solicitation compliance, and for how it uses the funds it receives. Company is not liable if a recipient's status is later found to be different from what was shown, or is suspended, revoked, or lost.
Company's fee. The fee Company retains on a donation (currently twenty percent (20%), as described in Sections 9 and 9A) is compensation for the technology, payment-coordination, hosting, and other services Company performs through the Platform, to the extent permitted by law. It is not itself a charitable contribution, and Company makes no statement about whether any part of a payment that Company retains as a fee is deductible.
Donations remain final. Donations are final and non-refundable and are never eligible for a Claim, as stated in Sections 6, 7, and 9, whether or not the recipient is verified and whether or not a donor is later able to claim a deduction. This Section 9C supplements, and does not limit, Section 9A, and does not create any obligation of Company to any donor or recipient.
The Speaker Pool and Directory are directories through which members may publish a public profile describing speaking topics, business offerings, and related information, and through which other members may discover, message, and - in the case of the Speaker Pool - pay to engage a member directly through the Platform's in-app payment mechanism. Company is not a party to, and assumes no responsibility for, the underlying speaking engagement, business transaction, or relationship formed between members. Company does not vet, endorse, or guarantee the qualifications, availability, conduct, or performance of any member listed in the Speaker Pool or Directory. Any dispute arising from an engagement between members should be pursued, where eligible, through the Claims and Disputes process in Section 7; Company is not otherwise a party to that dispute.
Every Speaker Pool engagement must be booked and paid for through the Platform's in-app hiring and payment mechanism.A speaker listed in the Speaker Pool may not solicit, arrange, or accept payment for an engagement outside the Platform with a member who contacted or discovered them through the Speaker Pool, including by directing the hiring member to pay by cash, check, wire, or any third-party payment method instead of completing the booking in-app. A speaker's failure to comply with this requirement is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate removal of the speaker's listing, suspension of the speaker's Speaker Pool profile, or termination of the speaker's account, at Company's sole discretion, in addition to any other remedy available to Company under these Terms.
The Platform includes the Tweeble Learning Center, offering online courses and single-session “quick classes” created and sold by members (“Course Creators”) to other members and, where a course or quick class is offered for free, the general public. Publishing a course or quick class, and publishing a Course Creator profile in the Learning Center's public directory, each require an active subscription on terms disclosed on the Platform at the time of subscription, separate from and in addition to any membership plan subscription described in Section 4. Every course and quick class is subject to the content review and approval process described in Section 13 before it is published.
Where Company processes a paid course or quick class enrollment on a Course Creator's behalf, Company retains a platform commission from the full sale price (currently twenty percent (20%)), and any affiliate who referred the sale earns that affiliate's membership-tier percentage (5% to 20%) of the amount remaining after Company's commission, paid out of the Course Creator's share, based on the percentages disclosed on the Platform at the time of purchase; the remainder is paid to the Course Creator as Earnings under Section 14. These percentages apply to enrollments purchased on or after the date they were disclosed on the Platform and do not change enrollments already completed. Course completion certificates, achievement badges, and any other credential or recognition issued through the Learning Center are Company-created recognitions of platform activity only; Company does not warrant that any certificate, badge, or completed course carries any accreditation, professional credit, or recognition outside the Platform. Company does not vet, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, quality, or outcome of any course content, and is not a party to, and assumes no responsibility for, the relationship between a Course Creator and a learner who purchases or enrolls in a course.
Members may create and publish events on the Platform (“Event Creators”). Company processes ticket and sponsorship-package payments on behalf of Event Creators through the Platform and retains a platform commission from the full price of every sale (currently twenty percent (20%)), and on the suggested donation, if any, that an attendee chooses to make alongside a free registration. An Event Creator may set the affiliate commission percentage offered to affiliates who refer ticket, sponsorship, and donation sales for that event; that percentage is applied to the amount remaining after Company's commission, is paid out of the Event Creator's share, and is shown on the event's page. Where the Event Creator has not set a percentage, the affiliate earns the affiliate's membership-tier percentage instead. Company splits the proceeds accordingly. The Event Creator, not Company, is solely responsible for organizing, producing, staffing, insuring, and delivering the event, including compliance with all applicable laws (including venue, safety, and permitting requirements). Company is not a co-host, promoter, or guarantor of any event and disclaims all liability arising from an event's cancellation, postponement, quality, or conduct. Ticket and sponsorship purchases are subject to the no-refund policy in Section 6, refundable only through the Claims and Disputes process in Section 7 where eligible; an Event Creator that cancels an event is solely responsible for addressing purchaser expectations, and any accommodation to a purchaser is between the purchaser and the Event Creator unless Company, in its sole discretion, elects otherwise.
Certain content and submissions on the Platform — including, without limitation, events, blog posts, paid advertisements, Learning Center courses and quick classes, Speaker Pool and Business Directory listings, Business/Nonprofit reviews, and Service Marketplace redemptions fulfilled directly by Company — require review and approval by Company's administrative personnel (“Tweeble Administrators”) before they are published, made publicly visible, or fulfilled. Profile Marketplace Products, Services, and Fundraising Goals are moderated by the profile owner and, where applicable, by Tweeble Administrators, as described elsewhere on the Platform. Submitting content or a redemption for review is not a guarantee that it will be approved.
Tweeble Administrators may approve or reject any submission at any time, in Company's sole discretion.Company may also suspend, pause, or hide any content on the Platform — including content that has already been approved and published, regardless of how long it has been live — at any time and for any reason, whether or not related to the reason it was originally approved. Company generally provides a reason when it rejects a submission or suspends, pauses, or hides content, but is not obligated to do so in any instance.
If your submission is rejected, or previously approved content is suspended, paused, or hidden, you may revise and resubmit it for review. This Section 13 does not create or expand any refund right beyond those described in Section 6, is in addition to (not in place of) Company's broader content-removal and account-suspension rights described in Section 18, and does not limit Tweeble Claims' authority under Section 7.
Certain activities on the Platform may accrue as cash amounts payable to you (“Earnings”). Earnings are tracked in two separate balances, which are shown separately on your My Earnings page. Your Earnings balanceholds the net proceeds owed to you from sales — including Profile Marketplace Product, Service, book, clothing, and shoe sales, Program signups, Membership Package sales, event ticket, sponsorship, and event suggested-donation proceeds owed to an Event Creator, Speaker Pool hire proceeds, Learning Center course and quick class sale proceeds owed to a Course Creator, and other amounts Company designates as sales proceeds — together with affiliate commissions from any of the foregoing. Your Donations balanceholds the net proceeds of Fundraising Goal contributions and profile Donations owed to you as a recipient, and is kept separate from your Earnings balance. You may request a payout from either balance, subject to the terms of this Section. Referral Bonuses are a third, separate category, are not Earnings, and are never payable as cash; they are issued solely as platform credits, as described in Section 15. Earnings are not credits and are not automatically paid; you must submit a payout request through the Platform, subject to any applicable minimum amount, request cooldown period, and processing timeframe disclosed on the Platform. Company may withhold, delay, or deny a payout request pending verification, fraud review, or resolution of a dispute (including a pending Claim under Section 7), and may require additional information (including a mailing address for check delivery, or a PayPal address) before processing payment. Payout requests are subject to review and approval by Company before any payment is issued or attempted, including where you elect to receive payment by check or by PayPal; Company is not obligated to approve any payout request. Earnings do not accrue interest.
Processing time.Once you submit a payout request that complies with this Section, Company's standard target is to process and issue payment within seventy-two (72) hours of that request. This seventy-two (72) hour figure is a target, not a guaranteed deadline. Company is not liable for, and you are not entitled to any penalty, refund, credit, or other compensation on account of, any delay beyond that target that is caused by circumstances outside Company's reasonable control, including banking or payment-processor delays, fraud or compliance review, technical or platform outages, or other unforeseen circumstances beyond Company's control. A delayed payout remains payable and will still be issued once the delay is resolved; your sole remedy for a delayed payout is eventual payment of the amount owed.
Reversals, offsets, and holds.Earnings and commissions are earned only on completed, paid, non-refunded sales, and every amount shown before payout is subject to reversal. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: if a refund is processed on a sale for any reason (including a Claim outcome under Section 7, an action by Company's payment processor, a chargeback or payment dispute, or otherwise), the affiliate commission and the Seller's Earnings from that sale are reversed in the corresponding amounts (in proportion, for a partial refund). If any reversed amount has already been paid out, converted to credits, or otherwise released to you, you owe that amount to Company, and Company may recover it by deducting it from your future Earnings, your credits, or any other amount Company owes you, and may suspend or withhold your payouts until it is settled. The same applies to any amount paid to you in error, obtained through fraud, self-referral, or abuse, or awarded against you in a Claim. Company's own commission and processing-fee treatment on a refunded sale is at Company's sole discretion, and Company is not obligated to return any part of it. As between you and Company, you bear the cost of every refund, chargeback, and payment dispute on your own sales, including related fees and penalties, and Company may deduct those costs from your Earnings. These rights continue after your account is closed or terminated.
Chargebacks, disputes, and reserves.As between a Seller (or other recipient of Earnings) and Company, the Seller bears the cost of every chargeback, payment dispute, and refund on the Seller's own sales, including the disputed or refunded amount, related fees and penalties, and Company's costs of responding. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Seller authorizes Company to debit, deduct, and offset those amounts against the Seller's Earnings balance, Donations balance, credits, and any other amount Company owes the Seller, and, if those are insufficient, to invoice the Seller, who must pay promptly on demand and who authorizes Company, to the extent permitted by law and by the payment authorization in Section 4, to charge a payment method the Seller has on file. Company may also hold back a reserve from a Seller's Earnings, or delay or withhold payouts, for as long as Company reasonably considers necessary, where Company reasonably believes a Seller presents a risk of chargebacks, disputes, refunds, fraud, non-fulfillment, or other loss (for example, a new Seller, unusual sales volume or patterns, a pending Claim, or an unresolved dispute). A reserve is not a fee, and Company releases it in its discretion once the risk has passed. When a chargeback or payment dispute is filed on a Seller's sale, Company may, but is not obligated to, respond to it, submit evidence, and communicate with the payment processor, card network, or bank on the Seller's behalf or on its own behalf, and the Seller authorizes Company to use the Seller's information and the Platform's records for that purpose. The Seller remains responsible for promptly supplying proof of fulfillment when asked, and Company's decision to respond, or not to respond, creates no liability. Company does not control, and is not liable for, any decision of a payment processor, card network, or bank about a chargeback, dispute, hold, reserve, or reversal, or for any resulting loss. Sections 6, 9A, and 25 apply in addition.
Company may offer promotional credits and bonus-credit incentives for referring new members to the Platform, on terms disclosed on the Platform from time to time. Referral incentives are issued solely as platform credits and are never payable as cash or convertible to cash beyond the credit-conversion mechanism described elsewhere on the Platform. The referral program is offered at Company's sole discretion, may be modified, restricted, or discontinued at any time without notice, and is subject to forfeiture in the event of suspected fraud, abuse, self-referral, or violation of these Terms - in which case any related unpaid bonus, pending referral, or credit issued as a result of that conduct may be revoked or clawed back. Referral bonuses under this Section 15 are separate from the affiliate commissions on sales and donations described in Section 15A.
To protect against fraudulent or fake referrals, every new account must verify its email address (by entering a code or clicking a link Company sends immediately at signup) before any referral bonus tied to that signup is issued. An unverified referred signup earns the referring member no credit; the referrer's bonus is issued only once (and only if) the referred account completes email verification. Company may withhold, delay, or deny a referral bonus indefinitely if a referred account is never verified.
Your affiliate link. Every member has a unique affiliate link and referral code. If you share your link or code, and a buyer or donor completes an eligible sale or donation through it, you may earn an affiliate commission on that sale or donation, on the terms of this Section 15A. Affiliate commissions are separate from, and in addition to, the referral bonuses described in Section 15.
How every eligible sale is split.On every eligible sale or donation, Company retains twenty percent (20%) of the full price or donation amount actually paid (after any coupon or discount). The affiliate's commission is the affiliate's tier percentage (below) of the remaining eighty percent (80%), and the seller or recipient receives the rest. The commission is not an additional charge to the buyer and, except in the classic Service Marketplace described below, is paid out of the seller's or recipient's share, not in addition to Company's 20%. For example, if the full price paid is $100.00 and the affiliate's percentage is 15%, Company retains $20.00, the affiliate earns 15% of the remaining $80.00 ($12.00), and the seller receives $68.00. Because the commission is calculated on what remains after Company's 20%, it is never a percentage of the full price.
Tier percentages.The affiliate's percentage is set by the affiliate's membership plan: Free, 5%; Starter, 10%; Growth, 15%; and Authority and any higher tier, 20%, which is the maximum. The percentage is determined by the affiliate's active paid plan at the time the sale is completed. A paid plan that is cancelled (once its paid period has ended), suspended, or lapsed is treated as the Free tier.
Events.For an event, the Event Creator sets the affiliate percentage for that event. It is applied to the amount remaining after Company's 20% (for ticket and sponsorship sales, and for a suggested donation made with a free registration), it is shown on the event's page, and it applies instead of the affiliate's tier percentage. An event for which the Event Creator has not set a percentage uses the tier percentages above. For a free event with a suggested donation, Company retains twenty percent (20%) of whatever donation the attendee makes.
Other items.The same structure (Company retains 20%, and the affiliate earns its percentage of the remaining 80%) applies to Profile Marketplace Product, Service, book, clothing, and shoe sales; Programs; Fundraising Goal contributions and profile Donations; Speaker Pool hires; Adopt a School; and, for enrollments purchased on or after September 20, 2026, Learning Center courses and quick classes (earlier enrollments are governed by the percentages in effect when they were purchased). In the classic Service Marketplace, where Company itself is the seller, the affiliate's percentage is likewise applied to the amount remaining after Company's 20%, and Company pays the commission (which, for a purchase made with platform credits, Company may pay in the form of platform credits). Membership Packages currently carry no affiliate commission. Except as this Section or the Platform expressly states, an item carries no affiliate commission; Company's own membership plans are addressed by Section 15, and donations described in Section 17 are governed by that Section.
When commissions are earned. Commissions are earned only on completed, paid, non-refunded sales. An earned commission is added to your Earnings balance and is paid out under Section 14. If a sale is refunded for any reason, the affiliate commission on it is reversed and, if already paid out, must be repaid, as described in Sections 6 and 14. A commission on a recurring subscription or renewal is earned only where the Platform records the renewal payment as an eligible sale and shows the commission in your Earnings, and Company does not guarantee a commission on any renewal.
Attribution, abuse, and no guarantee. Company determines whether a sale is attributed to an affiliate link or code from its own records, and its determination is final. Self-referrals (using your own link or code to buy for yourself or for an account or organization you control), attribution obtained through deception, spam, misrepresentation, or automation, and any other abuse or fraud may be voided at any time, in which case no commission is earned and any commission already paid may be reclaimed. You are solely responsible for complying with all laws that apply to your promotion, including advertising and material-connection disclosure requirements, and for the accuracy of any statement you make about any seller, item, or Company. Affiliates are independent participants, not employees, agents, or partners of Company, and are responsible for their own taxes. Company does not guarantee that any affiliate will earn any commission or any amount of money. Company may change the percentages, its 20% retention, or the eligibility rules in this Section prospectively at any time, by updating the Platform or these Terms; a change applies only to sales completed after it takes effect.
Verified nonprofit status.A member with a Nonprofit profile may apply for verified nonprofit status from the Profile page by submitting the organization's name and Employer Identification Number (EIN). Company checks the EIN automatically against a third-party public registry of organizations that the Internal Revenue Service recognizes as tax-exempt. If the registry returns a matching organization, the application may be approved automatically. If the registry definitively reports that no such organization exists, the application is rejected automatically. If the lookup fails or is inconclusive, the application is held for review by Company's administrative personnel. An automated result is only a signal: Company may at any time, in its sole discretion, approve, deny, reject, suspend, or revoke verified status or the discount, with or without a stated reason, whether or not an automated check previously matched or failed to match, including if Company can no longer verify continued eligibility or believes the information submitted is inaccurate or incomplete. Company may suspend the discount without revoking the approval, and may reverse a suspension, revocation, or denial. In these Terms, a “verified nonprofit” is a member whose application is currently approved and whose nonprofit discount has not been suspended or revoked. Company keeps a record of every application (including the organization name, EIN, lookup result, decision, reviewer, and dates) and may rely on that history in later decisions.
What verification means, and does not mean. Verification is a limited automated and administrative check that the EIN you submit corresponds to an organization in the registry. It is nota legal determination of any organization's tax-exempt or charitable status, good standing, or eligibility to receive deductible contributions; it does not confirm that the person applying is authorized to act for the organization or that the organization's status is current; and it is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee by Company of the organization or how it operates. You represent that the information you submit is true and complete, that you are authorized to apply on the organization's behalf, and that the organization is and will remain eligible, and you agree to notify Company promptly if its status changes. Company may void any benefit obtained through inaccurate information and may recover from you the value of any Company-funded discount so obtained. As of the effective date of these Terms, a Nonprofit profile can be published to the Directory only while verified status is in effect. Section 9C describes the limited, non-guaranteed statement Company makes about donations to verified nonprofits.
Company's own offerings.For a verified nonprofit, a discount of twenty percent (20%) applies automatically to certain items that Company itself sells, currently credit top-ups, Media Passes, and the curated Service Marketplace (whether paid in credits or by Buy Now), at the rate Company discloses on the Platform, which Company may change, limit, or discontinue prospectively at any time. Unless the Platform expressly states otherwise, this discount does not apply to membership plan pricing, Speaker Pool, Directory, or Learning Center subscriptions, Greeting Cards, advertising, donations, or Fundraising Goal contributions, and Company's own promotions apply as stated when they are offered.
Community Supporter Badge (seller opt-in).A member with a Business or Nonprofit profile may choose, free of charge and at any time, to enroll in the “Community Supporter Badge” program from the Profile page. While a seller is enrolled, (a) the Community Supporter badge is displayed on that seller's public profile, and (b) a verified nonprofit that buys from that seller receives twenty percent (20%) off everything that seller sells, or later lists for sale, through the Platform. That includes Products (and each option of a multi-option listing), Services, Programs, Membership Packages, books, clothing, shoes, Learning Center courses and quick classes, event tickets and sponsorships, Speaker Pool hire, and any other item the Platform lets that seller sell, whether the item is listed today or added later. The discount is applied by Company's systems at checkout to the buyer's price for that seller's item, and only when the buyer is signed in to a member account that, at the moment of purchase, is a verified nonprofit whose discount is not suspended. It is not available to guests (a guest checkout has no nonprofit status), to nonprofits that are unverified, pending, denied, suspended, or revoked, or to a seller buying its own items, and a seller cannot choose which verified nonprofits receive it. It does not apply to free items, to donations or Fundraising Goal contributions, to any membership plan or subscription price charged by Company itself, or to Company's own services (which are governed by the preceding paragraph and by any other statement on the Platform).
The discount is funded by the seller, not by Company.By enrolling you agree that the price actually charged to a verified nonprofit buyer is the listed price less twenty percent (20%), and that Company's twenty percent (20%) fee, any affiliate commission, and your Earnings under Sections 9, 14, and 15A are all calculated on the discounted amount actually paid. Company does not fund, reimburse, or guarantee payment of the difference between the listed price and the discounted price. You are not entitled to, and Company has no obligation to pay, credit, refund, or otherwise make up, the remainder or any part of the discount for any sale, including where you later contact Company seeking the amount you discounted, and no Claim under Section 7 may be filed by a seller for a discount it gave. A purchase discounted under this program is otherwise subject to the same refund rules as any other purchase under Section 6 and is refunded, if at all, only in the amount actually paid.
Discounts are not combinable.The Community Supporter discount, a Seller coupon under Section 9B, and any other discount or promotion cannot be combined on the same item unless the Platform expressly states otherwise at checkout. If a buyer is eligible for more than one, the buyer receives the single greatest discount (the one that results in the lowest price for that item), not the sum. Company's own site-wide or promotional pricing on Company's own items applies as stated when it is offered.
Recurring items.The discounted price of a recurring Membership Package or subscription is set when the buyer checks out and continues for that subscription's billing cycles until it is cancelled or changed; it is not re-evaluated at each renewal, and a later change to the buyer's nonprofit status or to the seller's enrollment does not by itself alter an existing subscription.
No liability for a seller's failure to honor, or for the discount not being applied.The discount is the seller's offer, applied by the Platform for the seller's benefit and at the seller's cost. Company is not liable to any buyer or seller if a seller fails to honor a discount, displays or removes a badge, changes its enrollment, or misdescribes the program, or if a discount is not applied, is applied incorrectly, or is unavailable for a particular item type, checkout path, or moment because of a technical limitation, error, or change to the Platform. A buyer's recourse for a discount that was not applied is to contact Company or the seller before completing the purchase; Company may, but is not obligated to, correct an error, and any correction is discretionary and creates no right to any discount in any other case. Company does not guarantee that the discount is available on every item type or in every checkout flow at all times.
Withdrawal and changes. You may withdraw from the program at any time by turning the option off; the badge and the discount then stop for purchases made after that point, and purchases already made are unaffected. Company may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Community Supporter Badge program or the nonprofit discount, including the percentage, the eligibility rules, and the item types covered, or remove a badge from any profile (for example, where a profile is unpublished, suspended, or in violation of these Terms), at any time, prospectively and with or without notice.
No endorsement; no guarantee.The badge indicates only that a seller has opted in to offer the discount. It is not an endorsement, certification, or guarantee by Company of the seller, the seller's items, or any nonprofit buyer, and Company does not guarantee that enrolling will produce any number of sales or any other benefit. Whether a buyer qualifies as a verified nonprofit is determined solely by Company's own verification process, on which sellers may not rely as a representation of that organization's legal status, and Company disclaims all liability arising from a buyer's eligibility or ineligibility for the discount, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
The Platform offers a feature allowing you to contribute funds to Relief Alliance, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Kissimmee, Florida (EIN 99-5000564), through the “Donate to Relief Alliance” feature. A portion of each donation you contribute through this feature is forwarded to Relief Alliance to support its programs; Company retains the remaining portion. Company is not itself the recipient charitable organization for purposes of any donation made through this feature, and makes no representation as to the tax-deductibility of any contribution. You are solely responsible for determining the tax treatment of any donation and should consult your own tax advisor and retain your own records.
The Platform separately offers a “Donate to Nepal Flood Relief” feature (the funds collected through this feature, together with the Greeting Card contribution described below, are referred to on the Platform as the Nepal Relief and Recovery Fund), supporting relief and recovery efforts following flooding in Nepal. Of each donation made directly through the “Donate to Nepal Flood Relief” feature, sixty percent (60%) is allocated to the Nepal Relief and Recovery Fund and forty percent (40%) is retained by Company. Separately, Company allocates thirty percent (30%) of the revenue it collects from Greeting Card (digital postcard) purchases made through the Platform to the Nepal Relief and Recovery Fund, with the remaining seventy percent (70%) retained by Company; this Greeting Card allocation is not itself a donation made by you and is not eligible for any donation-related tax treatment. Any amount displayed on the Platform as raised for, or allocated to, the Nepal Relief and Recovery Fund reflects the actual net amount computed under this Section, not the gross amount collected. Company is not itself the recipient organization for purposes of any donation or allocation made under this Section, and makes no representation as to the tax-deductibility of any contribution — you are solely responsible for determining the tax treatment of any donation and should consult your own tax advisor and retain your own records. Company may adjust the percentages described in this Section prospectively at any time by updating these Terms; any such change applies only to funds collected or revenue earned after the effective date of the change.
Donations made through either feature described in this Section are final and non-refundable, consistent with Section 6, and are not eligible for the Claims and Disputes process in Section 7. Company disclaims all liability arising out of or related to Relief Alliance or the Nepal Relief and Recovery Fund, their respective programs, their use of donated or allocated funds, or the “Donate to Relief Alliance” and “Donate to Nepal Flood Relief” features— Company is not a party to, does not control, and assumes no responsibility for Relief Alliance's or any recipient organization's operations, tax-exempt status, or use of any funds they receive through the Platform. Any question regarding a specific donation's tax treatment or a recipient organization's use of donated funds should be directed to that organization directly, not to Company.
Relationship to Section 9C.Nothing in Section 9C changes, limits, or contradicts this Section 17. The disclaimers in this Section 17, including that Company makes no representation as to the tax-deductibility of any contribution to Relief Alliance or the Nepal Relief and Recovery Fund, continue to apply in full to those donations. Section 9C applies only to donations made directly to a verified Nonprofit member's own Fundraising Goal or profile, and never to a donation described in this Section 17.
You are solely responsible for all content you submit, post, or transmit through the Platform, including profile information, blog posts, event listings, images, messages, and any other material (“User Content”). You represent that you own or have all necessary rights to submit your User Content and that it does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights, or any applicable law. You grant Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content solely as necessary to operate, promote, and provide the Platform (for example, displaying your published blog post, event listing, or public profile).
You agree not to use the Platform to:
Company may remove, edit, or refuse to publish any User Content, and may suspend or terminate any account, at its sole discretion, with or without notice. See Section 13 for Company's content review, approval, and moderation process for submissions that require pre-publication review.
Tweeble Chat and other in-app messaging features are provided for legitimate business networking among members. Messages you send may be visible to other members you communicate with and, where you share content into a group or community, to other members of that group or community. Company may review reported messages for violations of these Terms and may remove content or restrict a member's messaging privileges as a result. Company is not obligated to monitor messages generally and is not responsible for the content of messages sent between members. Any translation of a message that a member requests is machine-generated and is subject to Section 23A.
Community Organizers.A Tweeble Chat community or group is created and run by the member who starts it (its “Organizer”). The Organizer has final and sole discretion over who may join, remain in, or be removed from their community or group. An Organizer may set their community to require the Organizer's approval before a join request is granted, or to allow any member to join instantly with no approval step; either way, once you are a member of a community or group, you agree to follow any rules its Organizer posts for it. Company is not a party to, and bears no liability for, any Organizer's decision to admit, deny, approve, or remove any member, or for any rule an Organizer sets, fails to set, enforces, or fails to enforce, for their community or group.Company's own content-review and moderation rights described above apply regardless of any Organizer's own decisions.
The Platform, including its design, software, text, graphics, logos, and the “Tweeble” name and marks, is owned by Company or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to access and use the Platform as permitted by these Terms, no right, title, or interest in the Platform is transferred to you. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or reverse-engineer any part of the Platform without Company's prior written consent.
Restricted Use.Without limiting the foregoing, you may not, and may not permit, enable, or assist any third party to: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive or reconstruct the source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, structure, or organization of the Platform or any of its features, functionality, workflows, or Services; (b) use the Platform, or any information, data, workflow, service description, form structure, pricing model, matching or attribution mechanic, or other content or design element you access through it, to build, develop, operate, market, or assist any other person or entity in building, developing, operating, or marketing a product or service that is competitive with or substantially similar to the Platform or any Company feature; (c) copy, replicate, “clone,” scrape, or systematically extract the design, layout, feature set, service catalog, form structures, credit or commission structures, or other proprietary elements of the Platform for use in any other product or service; (d) use any automated means, including bots, scrapers, or crawlers, to access, copy, or extract data or content from the Platform, except as expressly permitted through a Company-provided API as described in Section 22; or (e) remove, obscure, alter, or interfere with any proprietary notice, watermark, or access-control or usage-monitoring mechanism on the Platform.
Confidentiality of Platform Design and Mechanics.The manner in which the Platform is designed, built, and operated — including its architecture, algorithms, matching and attribution logic, credit and commission structures, form and workflow design, and other non-public business or technical information you may learn, observe, or infer through your use of the Platform — is Company's confidential and proprietary information. By using the Platform, you agree to hold this information in confidence, to use it solely as necessary for your own permitted use of the Platform, and not to disclose it to, or use it for the benefit of, any third party, including to compete with Company or to assist any other person or entity in competing with Company.
Non-Circumvention.You agree not to use the Platform, or any relationship, contact, or introduction made available to you through it, to circumvent Company or to avoid Fees otherwise payable to Company. Without limitation, if you are introduced to or connected with another member, speaker, event host, course creator, business, or affiliate through the Platform, you will not, within twelve (12) months of that introduction, transact the same or a substantially similar engagement with that party outside the Platform for the purpose of avoiding Company's Fees, credits, or commissions on a Platform-originated relationship.
Feedback.If you submit any suggestion, idea, enhancement request, bug report, or other feedback concerning the Platform (“Feedback”), you grant Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, and otherwise exploit that Feedback for any purpose, without any obligation, attribution, or compensation to you.
Remedies. You acknowledge that any actual or threatened breach of this Section 20 may cause Company irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone would be an inadequate remedy, and that Company is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any such breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages.
The Platform integrates with third-party service providers, including Stripe (payment processing), PayPal (payout delivery, where you elect to receive a payout by PayPal), Resend (transactional email), and other infrastructure and analytics providers described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of those integrations may also be subject to that provider's own terms and privacy practices. Company is not responsible for the acts, omissions, availability, or performance of any third-party service provider.
Company makes certain published Platform content and intake forms available through public API endpoints (currently covering, among other things, Products, Services, Events, blog posts, Fundraising Goals, Donations, volunteer sign-ups, and event ticket and sponsorship purchases) so that a member may display their own published Platform content on their own external website, and so that a visitor to that external website may submit a donation, a volunteer sign-up, or an event ticket or sponsorship purchase, or otherwise interact with that content, without leaving the external site (the “API”). Even though displayed, collected, or submitted through an external website, all data made available through, and all transactions processed through, the API are still processed and stored by Company's own systems and remain fully subject to these Terms, Company's Privacy Policy, and applicable law, to the same extent as if the visitor had used the Platform directly.
Contact forms.A member may configure contact forms and place them on their own external website through the API. Information a visitor submits through a form is stored by Company and delivered to the member who configured it (in the member's Tweeble account and by email), and that member is solely responsible for how they use and protect it and for any notice or consent their form requires. Company does not review the contents of submissions, is not responsible for what visitors submit or for any member's response to a submission, and does not guarantee delivery of any submission or email.
You are solely responsible for how you implement, display, and use the API on your own external website, including for ensuring that your use complies with applicable law and does not misrepresent Company, the Platform, or the underlying data. Company does not control, does not operate, and is not responsible for the design, availability, security, or content of any external website that integrates with the API, and disclaims all liability for any error, omission, outage, security vulnerability, misuse of data, or other harm arising out of or related to any member's or third party's implementation or use of the API on an external website, including any harm to a visitor of that external website.
Company may, at its discretion, attempt to help identify, troubleshoot, or resolve an issue with the API itself, but is under no obligation to do so, and is not liable for any downtime, data loss, delay, or business interruption resulting from an API issue, whether or not Company attempts a fix. Company may add, modify, rate-limit, suspend, or discontinue any API endpoint at any time, with or without notice, and is not liable for any resulting disruption to any external website that relies on it. This Section 22 does not create, and nothing about a submission made through the API expands, any refund right beyond those described in Section 6, or any right to payment beyond those described in Section 14.
THE PLATFORM AND ALL SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
Company does not guarantee any specific business, marketing, media-placement, publicity, speaking-engagement, lead-generation, sales, revenue, fundraising, or other outcome from your use of the Platform, including from any redeemed Service Marketplace item, Profile Marketplace Product, book, clothing or shoe item, Service, Program, Fundraising Goal, or Donation, blog placement, event, Speaker Pool listing, Directory listing, affiliate link or commission, or Learning Center course or quick class. Any results described in Platform marketing materials, testimonials, or individual service or listing descriptions are illustrative only and not a guarantee of similar results for you.
COMPANY IS NOT THE SELLER OF, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND REGARDING, ANY PRODUCT, BOOK, CLOTHING OR SHOE ITEM, SERVICE, PROGRAM, OR OTHER ITEM SOLD OR OFFERED BY A SELLER, INCLUDING ITS DESCRIPTION, SIZE, SIZING, FIT, COLOR, MATERIALS, CONDITION, QUALITY, SAFETY, LEGALITY, AUTHENTICITY, DELIVERY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. USED ITEMS ARE SOLD AS DESCRIBED BY THE SELLER AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AS-IS. ANY WARRANTY OR RETURN COMMITMENT IS SOLELY THAT OF THE SELLER, IF ANY.
Tweeble Claims decisions are similarly not warranted or guaranteed to reach any particular outcome.Company makes decisions under Section 7 in good faith based on the information available to it at the time, and does not warrant that any Claim will be decided in a claimant's or respondent's favor.
Geo Risk Watch. The Geo Risk Watch feature provides general geographic hazard information for locations you select, compiled from publicly available monitoring data (including government and scientific agency feeds where available) and, where no official forecast or model exists for a given hazard, from automated analysis of that data. Geo Risk Watch is provided for general awareness purposes only. It is not a scientific research product, is not produced or reviewed by any meteorologist, seismologist, or other licensed or credentialed expert, does not constitute an official warning, alert, or forecast of any kind, and is not a substitute for instructions, warnings, or evacuation orders issued by local authorities, emergency management agencies, or other official sources, which you should always follow first. Geo Risk Watch is never the sole source of information you should rely on to make any decision affecting your safety, travel, or property— always consult local authorities, emergency management agencies, licensed professionals, and any other resource appropriate to your situation before making a decision. Company does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any risk score, probability, narrative, or other content shown on Geo Risk Watch, and any percentage, likelihood, or “what-if” scenario displayed is an automated estimate only, not a guarantee or prediction of any actual future event.
Geo Risk Watch is free to useand is offered to members at no additional cost. Company separately solicits and accepts donations intended to support Nepal flood-disaster relief; any portion of proceeds or donations directed toward this purpose is contributed at Company's sole discretion, and once contributed, the use, distribution, and prioritization of those funds among relief needs is determined by the Jai Nepal Government Party and/or other governmental entities of Nepal, not by Company. Company makes no representation regarding, and disclaims all liability for, how any contributed funds are ultimately used or distributed by the Jai Nepal Government Party, the government of Nepal, or any other recipient or intermediary, and is not liable for any claim, investigation, or characterization by any government, regulator, or other third party relating to these donations.
You assume all risk arising from any decision you make in reliance on Geo Risk Watch.Company is not liable for any injury, death, property damage, financial loss, or other harm arising from or related to: (a) any action you take or fail to take (including evacuating, relocating, traveling, or not doing so) based on information shown on Geo Risk Watch; (b) any inaccuracy, omission, or delay in that information; or (c) any event Geo Risk Watch failed to identify or under- or over-stated the risk of. Company does not encourage, advise, instruct, or direct any user to evacuate, relocate, travel, or leave any jurisdiction, city, region, or country, and Geo Risk Watch content must never be interpreted as such advice, instruction, or direction. Company bears no responsibility for, and you agree not to hold Company liable for, any characterization by any government, regulator, or other third party that use of this feature encouraged, caused, or contributed to anyone leaving or remaining in any jurisdiction, and you agree to indemnify Company against any such claim as described in Section 25.
Geo Risk Watch data, alerts, and no protection. The risk information, scores, summaries, maps, and any alert or notification email that Geo Risk Watch produces come from third-party, public, and automated sources and from automated analysis, and Company does not control those sources. That information and any alert may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, out of date, duplicated, or unavailable, may not be sent at all, and does not reflect conditions on the ground at any given moment; the absence of a risk, a score, or an alert is not a statement that no hazard exists. Geo Risk Watch does not and cannot guarantee protection, warn of every hazard, or prevent or reduce any disaster, injury, or loss, and no person should treat it as doing so. This paragraph is in addition to, and consistent with, the other disclaimers and the no-guarantee statements in this Section 23.
Geo Risk Watch community “on the ground” feed.Each Geo Risk Watch risk page, for any geography, includes a “Live from the ground” feed that is shared by the risk cards for the same place. Any logged-in member (and any administrator) may post a text message to it, and a post appears immediately under the poster's name and profile image, without prior review. Messages in that feed are user-submitted, are not verified, fact-checked, or endorsed by Company, and are not moderated in real time. Company applies only limited automated filters (which redact contact details and block certain language) that do not detect false or misleading content, may hide or remove any post at its discretion at any time, and has no duty to monitor, review, verify, or remove any post. A message in the feed may be false, fraudulent, malicious, misleading, exaggerated, outdated, incomplete, or a hoax; may be posted by a bad actor, an impersonator, or a person who is not actually in the area; and may be intended to cause panic, to send a person toward danger, or to direct a person to a fraudulent link or request for money. You must not rely on the feed, and must never rely on it alone, for any decision about safety, evacuation, sheltering, travel, health, insurance, finances, property, or business; always follow the instructions of official emergency authorities and consult qualified professionals. By posting, you agree to post only what you are personally observing in that area at that time, to post nothing false, fraudulent, misleading, harassing, or unlawful, and not to include personal information. Your post is User Content under Section 18, you are solely responsible for it, and you grant Company the license described in that Section. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Company is not liable for any post or for any reliance on, or action or inaction resulting from, any post, and Section 25(m) applies.
Machine translation only. Where the Platform offers language-translation features, they translate Platform pages, emails, and chat messages by automated machine translation. Translation is provided for convenience only, may be turned on, limited, or unavailable at any time or for any language, and may be inaccurate, incomplete, awkward, offensive, or unintentionally different in meaning from the original, may omit or mistranslate names, numbers, dates, prices, or instructions, and may not translate every part of a page or message. Company does not review translations for accuracy.
The original controls; do not rely. If a translation and the original-language text differ, the original text (the English text of the Platform, or the original message as its author wrote it) controls. The body of these Terms and the Privacy Policy is provided in English only. You must not rely on a translation for any legal, financial, medical, safety, contractual, tax, or other important decision, or to understand any price, fee, deadline, requirement, refund, disclaimer, or term, and you should confirm anything important in the original text or with a qualified translator. Company is not liable for any translation error, omission, delay, or unavailability, or for any loss, dispute, or harm that arises from relying on a translation, and no translation creates any obligation, warranty, or representation of Company.
User content.When a member requests a translation of another member's message, or a page shows a translation of content a member wrote, the underlying content remains the content of its author, who alone is responsible for it under Section 18. Company is not responsible for how a translation renders that content, and a translation of a member's content is not a statement by Company. Automated translation processes the text being translated (and stores a copy of it and of the translation for reuse), as described in the Privacy Policy.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE PLATFORM — INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM A SECURITY INCIDENT OR DATA BREACH, ANY PROFILE MARKETPLACE PRODUCT, BOOK, CLOTHING OR SHOE ITEM, SERVICE, ORDER, SHIPMENT, FUNDRAISING GOAL, OR DONATION, ANY SELLER'S ACT OR OMISSION, OR ANY USE OF THE API DESCRIBED IN SECTION 22 — REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (B) COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE PLATFORM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR (II) THE TOTAL FEES YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO COMPANY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
WITHOUT LIMITING CLAUSE (B) ABOVE, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FOR ANY CLAIM THAT ARISES OUT OF OR RELATES TO A PARTICULAR TRANSACTION (INCLUDING ANY SALE, ORDER, DONATION, OR CONTRIBUTION BETWEEN A BUYER AND A SELLER OR RECIPIENT THAT COMPANY PROCESSED), COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR THAT CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES COMPANY ACTUALLY RETAINED ON THAT TRANSACTION (WHICH MAY BE ZERO), OR, FOR A PURCHASE MADE DIRECTLY FROM COMPANY, THE AMOUNT YOU PAID COMPANY FOR THAT PURCHASE. THIS TRANSACTION LIMIT APPLIES IN PLACE OF THE MINIMUM AMOUNTS IN CLAUSE (B)(I) AND (II) FOR THAT CLAIM, WHILE THE OVERALL CAP IN CLAUSE (B) CONTINUES TO APPLY TO THE TOTAL OF ALL CLAIMS OF EVERY KIND, SO THAT THE COMBINED AMOUNT RECOVERABLE NEVER EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT DETERMINED UNDER CLAUSE (B). IF A COURT OR ARBITRATOR FINDS THIS TRANSACTION LIMIT UNENFORCEABLE IN A PARTICULAR CASE, CLAUSE (B) ALONE WILL APPLY TO THAT CASE.
THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 24 APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, AND APPLY TO CLAIMS ARISING UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIABILITY LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN WHICH CASE COMPANY'S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company and its officers, directors, members, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Platform; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party; (e) any event you host, course or quick class you create, service you provide, or engagement you enter into with another member through the Platform, including through the Speaker Pool, Directory, Learning Center, or Events features; (f) any chargeback, payment dispute, or reversal you initiate for a Fee you authorized under Section 4, including the disputed amount itself and any chargeback, processing, or collection fees Company incurs as a result, as described in Section 6; (g) any Claim you file under Section 7 that Tweeble Claims determines was false, fraudulent, or made in bad faith; (h) any decision you make, or action or inaction by you or anyone else, in reliance on Geo Risk Watch, including any claim, investigation, or characterization by any government, regulator, or other third party alleging that use of Geo Risk Watch encouraged, caused, or contributed to anyone leaving, entering, or remaining in any jurisdiction, as described in Section 23; (i) any Tweeble Chat community or group you create or organize, including any decision to admit, deny, approve, or remove a member, or any rule you set, fail to set, enforce, or fail to enforce, as described in Section 19; (j) any Product, book, clothing or shoe item, Program, or Service you list, sell, or fulfill (or fail to fulfill), or any Fundraising Goal or Donation you create, receive, or use the proceeds of, through the Profile Marketplace, as described in Sections 9 and 9A, including any failure to ship a Product, deliver a Service, or use donated funds as represented, and any shipping, delivery, product-safety, labeling, import or export, or tax matter; (k) your implementation or use of the API on your own or any third party's external website, as described in Section 22; (l) any refund, chargeback, payment dispute, reversal, or Claim relating to a sale you make, including the refunded or reversed amount, related processing, dispute, and chargeback fees and penalties, and Company's costs of responding, as described in Sections 6 and 14; (m) any content you post to the Geo Risk Watch community feed, or any reliance on it, as described in Section 23; (n) any use of a payment method you were not authorized to use, or any other breach of your representations in Section 4, or any chargeback or payment dispute you file in breach of Section 6; or (o) any coupon or discount you create, offer, or apply, as described in Section 9B.
These Terms remain in effect for as long as you maintain an account or otherwise use the Platform. Company may suspend or terminate your account, or restrict your access to any feature, at any time and for any reason, including: violation of these Terms; suspected fraud or abuse; nonpayment of Fees past the applicable grace period; or at Company's sole discretion for any other reason, with or without notice. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting Company or using any in-Platform account-closure feature made available.
Upon termination: (a) your right to access the Platform immediately ceases; (b) any unused credits, Media Pass entitlements, and unpublished draft content may be forfeited, except where applicable law requires otherwise; (c) any accrued but unpaid Earnings remain payable to you subject to Section 14 (including its reversal and offset provisions) and any pending fraud, verification, or Claims review; and (d) any provision of these Terms that by its nature should survive termination (including Sections 4 (as to payment authorization and records), 6, 7, 9, 9A, 9B, 9C, 13, 14 (as to reversals, offsets, reserves, and repayment), 15A, 16 (as to the limits on Company's liability), 20, 22, 23, 23A, 24, 25, and 27) will survive.
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform, are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Claims Process First. If your dispute is eligible for the Claims and Disputes process described in Section 7, you agree to pursue that process to a final decision before initiating arbitration or any court proceeding relating to the same matter.
Time limit for sale disputes; records. To the extent permitted by law, the time limit in Section 7 for raising a Claim or other dispute about a sale or a charge also applies to any arbitration or court proceeding about that sale or charge, and the electronic records described in Section 4 are admissible and presumptive evidence in any Claim, arbitration, or court proceeding. This paragraph does not shorten any period that applicable law does not allow to be shortened by agreement.
Binding Arbitration.Except for claims that qualify for small-claims court or claims seeking injunctive relief to prevent unauthorized use or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules then in effect of a nationally recognized arbitration organization, with the arbitration seated in a county of Company's choosing within the State of Florida. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver.YOU AND COMPANY EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. ANY PROCEEDING TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS.
Venue. For any dispute not subject to arbitration under this Section 27, you and Company agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of Florida, and you waive any objection to venue in those courts on the basis of inconvenient forum or otherwise.
Company may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Platform and updating the effective date above. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform or by email to the address on file where reasonably practicable. Your continued use of the Platform after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Platform and may terminate your account.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms disclosed for a specific feature at the time of use, constitute the entire agreement between you and Company regarding the Platform, and supersede any prior agreements.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No Waiver.Company's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment.You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without Company's prior written consent. Company may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force Majeure. Company will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control.
