Our mission at Support Community, Inc. is to develop platforms and peer-based social networks to enable individuals and families faced with critical life events to utilize available services, foster and maintain a support system, and connect with others in like circumstances.

SupportCommunity works with nonprofits and other institutions (each, an “Organization”) to provide tools and peer-based social networks to the clients of those Organizations and their families and friends. In some cases, the use and collection of your information and data may be governed by the Organization’s practices. We encourage you to carefully review the policies of the applicable Organization.

Many of the Organizations, entities and partners that we work with are nonprofit organizations. One of our core values is to provide tools, resources, and support to our Organizations that may further their organizational values and missions. One of the tools that we provide to such Organizations is the ability to use User Content to tell their story, create a sense of community, and in some cases, solicit donations from third parties through the Organization’s websites or through any other location or manner that the Organization may choose to promote itself and solicit donations. You have the option to permit SupportCommunity and our Organizations to use your User Content in this manner by checking the appropriate box or selecting the appropriate privacy options made available in the Platform (such User Content that you permit to be used in this manner, “Solicited User Content”).

In furtherance of the foregoing, upon checking the appropriate box or selecting the appropriate privacy options to permit your Solicited User Content to be used for donation solicitation and other promotional purposes, you hereby irrevocably authorize, grant, and license SupportCommunity and its Organizations, and their and our affiliates, successors, and assigns, and our and their respective agents, licensees and employees (“Authorized Persons”), the rights to display, publicly perform, exhibit, transmit, broadcast, reproduce, record, photograph, digitize, modify, create derivative works, exploit, sell, license, or otherwise use and permit others to use, your Solicited User Content, and the Likeness Materials contained therein, in perpetuity throughout the universe in any medium or format now known or hereafter created for any purposes, including advertising, public relations, and promotional purposes, and the solicitation of donations by our Organizations, either through or outside of the Platform, without further consent from, or other compensation to, you.

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. The Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under United States copyright law. If you believe that your work, or the work of a third party for whom you are authorized to act, is featured on the Platform or has been otherwise copied and made available on the Platform in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please notify us immediately. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. If you believe any materials accessible on or from Platform infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or access to them) from the Platform by submitting written notification to our copyright agent designated below. In accordance with the DMCA, the written notice (“DMCA Notice”) must include substantially the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the Platform, a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material.
• Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. Our designated copyright agent to receive DMCA Notices is:
      Patrick Morrison
      Support Community, Inc.

      (310) 940-0426
      2083 N. Topanga Canyon Blvd.
      Topanga, CA 90290
  

If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective and shall not be considered sufficient notice to confer actual knowledge upon SupportCommunity of the facts or circumstances of such allegedly infringing material or acts.

We have the right to disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that material posted by you violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy.

If you believe that material you posted on the Platform was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter notification with us (a “Counter Notice”) by submitting written notification to our copyright agent designated above. Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter Notice must include substantially the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• An identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled.
• Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
• A statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
• A statement that you will consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you reside outside the United States for any judicial district in which the Platform may be found) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Platform with the complaint at issue.

The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter Notice.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Platform is infringing your copyright, or was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. It is our policy in appropriate circumstances to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

The following additional terms and conditions apply to use of the Application on an Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) iOS-powered mobile device.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Application, and Apple will not be responsible for any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure of the Application to conform to any applicable warranty. Please note that we have disclaimed all warranties with respect to the Application—see Section 23.

No waiver by SupportCommunity of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of SupportCommunity to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
