Terms of Usage

 

Welcome to Sourced Club! 

These Terms govern your use of Sourced Club

 

Sourced Club platform mission is to give digital presence to all business in the food community to connect and empower you to express your business and its place in our food system. We encourage you to communicate what matters to you in both your business network choices and practice standards. We foresee no circumstances that our platform will add a public or members review arena. Sourced club is about integrity of our food story not why your choices are above or better than others.

Combat harmful conduct and protect and support our community:

People will only build community on Sourced Club if they feel safe. If we learn of content or conduct in the misuse of our Products, harmful conduct towards others, and situations, we will take appropriate action – for example, removing content, disabling an account, or contacting law enforcement.

 

Our Products help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organizations, and others that are important to you. We design our systems so that your experience is consistent and seamless across the different Sourced Club products that you use.

Enable global access to our services:

To operate our global service, we need to store and distribute content and data in our data centers and systems around the world, including outside your country of residence. This infrastructure may be operated or controlled by Sourced Club or its affiliates.

We provide these services to you and others to help advance our mission. In exchange, we need you to make the following commitments:

1. Who can use Sourced Club

When people stand behind their opinions and actions, our community is safer and more accountable. For that reason, you must:

·         Use the same name that you use in everyday life.

·         Provide accurate information about your business and self.

·         Not share your password, give access to your Sourced Club account to others, or transfer your account to anyone else (without our permission).

 

We try to make Sourced Club broadly available to everyone, but you cannot use sourced club if:

·         You are under 13 years old (or the minimum legal age in your country to use our Products).

·         You are a convicted sex offender.

·         We previously disabled your account for violations of our terms or policies.

·         You are prohibited from receiving our products, services, or software under applicable laws.

2. What you can add to your Sourced Club account

We want people to use sourced club to promote their business and the food community they work with, but not at the expense of the safety and well-being of others or the integrity of our community. You therefore agree not to engage in the conduct described below (or to facilitate or support others in doing so):

  1. You may not use our Products to do or add anything:

·         That violates these Terms, our community standards, and any other terms that apply to your use of Sourced Club.

·         That is unlawful, misleading, discriminatory or fraudulent.

·         That infringes or violates someone else’s rights.

 

  1. You may not upload viruses or malicious code or do anything that could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working or appearance of our Products.
  2. You may not access or collect data from our Products using automated means (without our prior permission) or attempt to access data you do not have permission to access.

We can remove content you share in violation of these provisions and, if applicable, we may take action against your account. We may also disable your account if you repeatedly infringe other people’s intellectual property rights.

To help support our community, we encourage you to report content or conduct that you believe violates your rights or our terms and policies.

3. The permissions you give us

We need certain permissions from you to provide our services: 

  1. Permission to use content you create: You own the content you create and share on Sourced Club and nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want. To provide our services, though, we need you to give us some legal permissions to use that content.

Specifically, when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content. This means, for example, that if you upload a photo on Sourced Club, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) such as service providers that support our service or other Sourced Club Products you use.

You can end this license any time by deleting your content or account. You should know that, for technical reasons, your business can be deleted from the Sourced Club Product apart from the network of other business you have added.

Permission to use your name, profile picture, and information about your actions with ads and sponsored content: You give us permission to use your name and profile picture and information about actions you have taken on Sourced Club next to or in connection with ads, offers, and other sponsored content that we display across our Products, without any compensation to you. For example, we may show your business or network

  1. Permission to update software you use or download: If you download or use our software, you give us permission to download and install upgrades, updates, and additional features to improve, enhance, and further develop it.

4. Limits on using our intellectual property

If you use content covered by intellectual property rights that we have and make available in our Products (for example, images, designs, videos, or sounds we provide that you add to content you create or share on sourced club), we retain all rights to that content (but not yours). You can only use our copyrights or trademarks or any similar marks as expressly permitted by our brand usage guidelines or with our prior written permission. You must obtain our written permission (or permission under an open source license) to modify, create derivative works of, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract source code from us.

 

1. Updating our Terms

We work constantly to improve our services and develop new features to make our Products better for you and our community. As a result, we may need to update these Terms from time to time to accurately reflect our services and practices. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Once any updated Terms are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to use our Products.

We hope that you will continue using our Products, but if you do not agree to our updated Terms and no longer want to be a part of the Sourced club community, you can delete your account at any time.

2. Account suspension or termination

We want Sourced Club to be a place that is an absolute open book on traceability and transparency for our food system. To achieve this the integrity of our members data is imperative for consumers to trust in our products. If we determine that you have violated our terms or policies, we may take action against your account to protect our community and services, including by suspending access to your account or disabling it. We may also suspend or disable your account if you create risk or legal exposure for us or when we are permitted or required to do so by law. Where appropriate, we will notify you about your account the next time you try to access it.

 

3. Limits on liability

We work hard to provide the best Products we can and to specify clear guidelines for everyone who uses them. Our Products, however, are provided “as is,” and we make no guarantees that they always will be safe, secure, or error-free, or that they will function without disruptions, delays, or imperfections. To the extent permitted by law, we also DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not control or direct what people and others do or say, and we are not responsible for their actions or conduct (whether online or offline) or any content they share (including offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, and other objectionable content).

We cannot predict when issues might arise with our Products. Accordingly, our liability shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and under no circumstance will we be liable to you for any lost profits, revenues, information, or data, or consequential, special, indirect, exemplary, punitive, or incidental damages arising out of or related to these Terms or the Sourced Club Products, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

4. Disputes

We try to provide clear rules so that we can limit or hopefully avoid disputes between you and us. Disputes on content and network sales, purchases and products between members or a non financial member will be handled internally through sourced club administration.

 

5. Other

  1. These Terms make up the entire agreement between you and Sourced Club, regarding your use of our Products. They supersede any prior agreements.
  2. If any portion of these Terms are found to be unenforceable, the remaining portion will remain in full force and effect. If we fail to enforce any of these Terms, it will not be considered a waiver. Any amendment to or waiver of these Terms must be made in writing and signed by us.
  3. You will not transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone else without our consent.
  4. These Terms do not confer any third-party beneficiary rights. All of our rights and obligations under these Terms are freely assignable by us in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise.
  5. You should know that we may need to change the username for your account in certain circumstances (for example, if someone else claims the username and it appears unrelated to the name you use in everyday life).
  6. We always appreciate your feedback and other suggestions about our products and services. But you should know that we may use them without any restriction or obligation to compensate you, and we are under no obligation to keep them confidential.
  7. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
