Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to your access to and use of websites, pages, forms, content, and online resources operated or controlled by Spirit Blossom Foundation, Inc. ("Spirit Blossom Foundation," "the Foundation," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understand these Terms and agree to comply with them and with applicable law.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you should discontinue use of the website.

This website is intended to provide information about Spirit Blossom Foundation, our mission, programs, charitable activities, volunteer opportunities, impact, fundraising, ways to support our work, and related organizational matters.

Information presented on the website is provided for general informational and charitable-engagement purposes unless expressly stated otherwise.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as creating rights to receive services, benefits, funding, assistance, volunteer placement, employment, partnership, representation, or participation in any particular Foundation activity.

You may use this website for lawful, personal, informational, charitable, and other legitimate purposes consistent with the nature of the website.

You agree to use the website in a manner that does not interfere with its operation, compromise its security, harm other users, misuse Foundation resources, or misrepresent your relationship with Spirit Blossom Foundation.

You may not use this website or Foundation-related online resources to:

• Engage in unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, threatening, or harmful conduct.
• Misrepresent your identity, authority, affiliation, qualifications, or relationship with Spirit Blossom Foundation.
• Claim to be an employee, agent, officer, director, authorized representative, fundraiser, or spokesperson for the Foundation unless you have been specifically authorized.
• Solicit or collect money, donations, goods, personal information, or commitments in the Foundation's name without authorization.
• Use Foundation names, logos, photographs, materials, or other intellectual property in a misleading or unauthorized manner.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to website systems, accounts, forms, data, communications, or technology.
• Introduce malicious code, interfere with website operation, scrape the website in an abusive manner, or circumvent reasonable security controls.
• Use Foundation content or resources to exploit, endanger, harass, identify, or improperly contact children, beneficiaries, families, volunteers, or community members.

The Foundation may provide opportunities for individuals to express interest in volunteering through this website or other communications.

Submission of a volunteer form, message, application, or expression of interest does not guarantee placement, participation, assignment, access to Foundation resources, or acceptance into any particular activity.

Volunteer opportunities may vary based on community needs, available programs, location, resources, safety considerations, safeguarding needs, local conditions, and the Foundation's ability to appropriately coordinate an activity.

Visiting this website, submitting a form, making a donation, participating in an event, volunteering, communicating with a coordinator, or otherwise supporting the Foundation does not, by itself, make an individual an employee, officer, director, partner, agent, spokesperson, or authorized representative of Spirit Blossom Foundation.

No person may enter agreements, incur obligations, solicit funds, make public commitments, issue statements on behalf of the Foundation, use Foundation resources, or otherwise bind Spirit Blossom Foundation unless expressly authorized to do so.

The Foundation may limit, suspend, or revoke an individual's authorization or participation when appropriate.

The Foundation may provide opportunities to make charitable contributions through this website or through third-party payment platforms, financial institutions, fundraising services, or other approved channels.

Donations are intended to support the Foundation's charitable purposes and may be applied where reasonably needed to advance those purposes unless the Foundation expressly accepts a particular legally permissible restriction.

A donor's expression of preference for a particular program, activity, location, or purpose does not necessarily create a legally restricted gift unless the Foundation expressly agrees to accept the contribution subject to that restriction.

The Foundation does not provide individual tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice. Donors are responsible for consulting their own advisers regarding the tax treatment or deductibility of a contribution.

Foundation programs, activities, locations, beneficiaries, schedules, volunteer opportunities, partnerships, distribution plans, and available resources may change based on community needs, funding, logistics, safety, weather, local conditions, available volunteers, legal requirements, or other circumstances.

Website descriptions reflect our charitable goals and activities but do not guarantee that a particular program, service, event, distribution, or opportunity will occur at a particular time or location.

The Foundation may modify, postpone, suspend, discontinue, or redirect activities when reasonably necessary.

Because some Foundation-supported activities may involve children and families, individuals participating in or supporting Foundation activities are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with dignity, safety, respect, and applicable safeguarding expectations.

Website access or volunteer interest does not authorize any individual to independently supervise, transport, counsel, medically treat, photograph, privately contact, or otherwise assume responsibility for a child on behalf of the Foundation.

Any activity involving children must remain consistent with applicable Foundation policies, program requirements, coordinator instructions, permissions, and applicable law.

We seek to provide accurate and useful information, but website content may become outdated, incomplete, unavailable, or subject to change.

Website content is not intended to constitute legal, medical, tax, accounting, financial, professional, or other specialized advice.

You should obtain appropriate professional advice when making decisions that require specialized expertise.

The Spirit Blossom Foundation name, logos, designs, written materials, graphics, original website content, program materials, and other Foundation-created materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property rights.

You may view and share links to publicly available Foundation website content for legitimate personal and charitable purposes.

You may not use Foundation branding, content, photographs, graphics, or materials in a manner that falsely suggests endorsement, sponsorship, authorization, partnership, or affiliation without permission.

The website may link to or use services operated by third parties, including social media platforms, payment processors, financial institutions, website providers, email services, mapping services, fundraising platforms, or partner websites.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms, privacy practices, availability, technology, security, and operational policies.

Spirit Blossom Foundation does not control independent third-party services and is not responsible for their content, availability, acts, omissions, security, or practices.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

The Foundation does not guarantee that the website will always be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, secure, current, or available.

We do not guarantee any particular charitable outcome, volunteer opportunity, program availability, fundraising result, beneficiary outcome, partnership, distribution, or other result merely because information about it appears on this website.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Spirit Blossom Foundation and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, representatives, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising solely from access to or use of, or inability to use, this website.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

These Terms do not alter any rights, defenses, immunities, limitations, responsibilities, or obligations that may apply under applicable nonprofit, charitable, volunteer-protection, contract, tort, or other law.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Spirit Blossom Foundation and its directors, officers, employees, and authorized representatives from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the website, material violation of these Terms, unauthorized representation of the Foundation, or misuse of Foundation intellectual property or resources.

This provision is not intended to require indemnification where prohibited by law or for matters for which the Foundation cannot lawfully disclaim responsibility.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, these Terms and disputes relating specifically to use of this website are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Nothing in this provision is intended to override mandatory laws that may apply to a particular person, transaction, charitable activity, or event occurring in another jurisdiction.

Foundation-supported activities occurring outside the United States may also be subject to laws, regulations, requirements, or authorities in the location where the activity occurs.

We may update these Terms as our website, charitable activities, programs, technology, service providers, legal obligations, or organizational practices evolve.

When updated Terms are posted, we may revise the "Last Updated" date shown at the top of this page.

Continued use of the website after updated Terms are posted constitutes use of the website subject to the then-current Terms.
