Terms & Conditions
Welcome to Social Justice and Small Persons’ Rights (“we,” “us,” “our”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) explain the rules for accessing and using our website, publications, newsletters, campaigns, petitions, donations, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms.
We publish advocacy resources and community updates to support people affected by discrimination and accessibility barriers, and to equip allies, educators, journalists, and policymakers with reliable information and clear calls to action. Please read these Terms carefully.
1) Who These Terms Apply To

- Use the Services in a lawful, respectful, and non-harassing manner.
- Engage in good faith with advocacy resources, petitions, and educational materials.

- Not impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with any organization.
We may remove content or restrict access to protect the community, comply with legal obligations, or prevent misuse of our nonprofit website and services.
4) Accounts, Newsletter Subscriptions & Communications
Some features (such as email newsletters, campaign updates, or community forms) may require you to provide contact details. You agree that the information you submit is accurate and that you will keep it up to date.
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, you consent to receive advocacy updates, educational resources, and community alerts. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails. For details on how we handle personal data, please review our Privacy Policy (if available on the site).
5) Donations, Fundraising & Support
Donations help sustain our nonprofit advocacy work, including publishing resources, supporting campaigns, and building community. By making a donation, you agree that:
- Donations are made voluntarily and are generally non-refundable unless required by law or clearly stated otherwise during the donation process.
- You are authorized to use the payment method provided.
- Donation processing may be handled by third-party payment providers; their terms may also apply.
If you believe a donation was made in error, contact us promptly with the details so we can review your request.
6) Advocacy, Educational Content & No Legal Advice
Our website may include blog posts, toolkits, accessibility guidance, policy analysis, news summaries, and other educational content. This content is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice, medical advice, or professional services.
While we strive for accuracy and accessible communication, social justice issues and policy environments can change quickly. You should independently verify information before acting on it, and consult qualified professionals where appropriate.
7) User Submissions (Comments, Forms, Petitions, Tips)
If you submit content to us (for example, comments, story submissions, campaign tips, or form responses), you retain ownership of your content. However, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and display that content as necessary to operate the Services and advance our mission (for example, summarizing community feedback or publishing anonymized insights), unless you explicitly request confidentiality and we agree in writing.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information you do not want shared. Where appropriate, we may edit or remove submissions for clarity, safety, accessibility, or compliance.
8) Intellectual Property & Content Use
Unless otherwise stated, the website’s text, graphics, logos, design elements, and original resources are owned by Social Justice and Small Persons’ Rights or licensed to us and are protected by intellectual property laws.
You may share links to our pages and quote short excerpts for commentary, education, journalism, or advocacy with proper attribution. For reprints, translations, or using substantial portions of our materials (including toolkits or downloadable guides), please request permission.
9) Third-Party Links & External Platforms
Our Services may link to third-party websites or platforms (including social media, donation processors, petition tools, or embedded content). We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Your use of third-party services is subject to their terms and policies.
10) Accessibility Commitment
We are committed to improving digital accessibility and ensuring our advocacy resources are usable for as many people as possible, including people with disabilities and people affected by accessibility barriers. If you encounter an accessibility issue, please contact us so we can address it.
11) Privacy & Data Use
We respect your privacy and the sensitivity of many social justice and discrimination-related experiences. Any personal data you provide through newsletter signups, donations, or forms will be handled in line with our posted privacy practices and applicable law. If a Privacy Policy is available on the site, it forms part of these Terms.
12) Suspension or Termination of Access
We may suspend or terminate access to the Services if we reasonably believe there has been a violation of these Terms, misuse of the site, or behavior that puts our community at risk. Where practical, we will provide notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue.
13) Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Social Justice and Small Persons’ Rights will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or reputation arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Services.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
14) Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Social Justice and Small Persons’ Rights from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any rights of another person or entity.
15) Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where our organization is established, unless otherwise required by law. Any disputes will be handled in the appropriate courts or forums in that jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protections apply.
