Terms & Conditions

The website is provided for informational, educational, charitable, fundraising, and community-engagement purposes. You may use the website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not interfere with the website, violate the rights of others, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, misrepresent your identity or affiliation, or use the website to engage in fraudulent or unlawful activity.

Website content is general information and is not a substitute for individualized legal, medical, mental-health, financial, tax, social-service, or other professional advice. Enduring Steps does not guarantee eligibility for any program, benefit, placement, service, employment opportunity, educational result, or other outcome based on information appearing on the website.

If you or another person faces an emergency or immediate safety concern, use the appropriate emergency or professional resources rather than relying on this website.

Descriptions of Enduring Steps programs, services, events, opportunities, and eligibility criteria are subject to change. Participation may be subject to separate applications, eligibility requirements, consent forms, releases, program rules, safeguarding requirements, or other agreements. Website content does not create a right to participate in or receive any particular program or service.

Unless otherwise indicated, website content, including text, graphics, logos, designs, photographs, videos, downloadable materials, and other original content, is owned by Enduring Steps or used with permission and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

You may view and make reasonable personal, noncommercial use of publicly available website content. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit protected content without authorization from the applicable rights holder, except as permitted by law.

If you send information through a contact form, email, application, or other website feature, you represent that you have the right to provide that information and that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge. Do not submit confidential information that Enduring Steps has not requested. Personal information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy and any additional notice presented at the point of collection.

Donations, recurring contributions, event registrations, and related payments may be subject to the Enduring Steps Refund & Donation Policy and to terms imposed by third-party payment processors. Tax treatment depends on applicable law and individual circumstances; nothing on this website constitutes tax advice.

The website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, platforms, payment processors, social networks, or other services. Enduring Steps does not control those third parties and is not responsible for their availability, content, security, terms, or privacy practices. A link or integration does not necessarily constitute endorsement.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. ENDURING STEPS DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE EXTENT SUCH WARRANTIES MAY LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED.

We do not warrant that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free from harmful components, or that website information will always be complete, current, or accurate.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ENDURING STEPS AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS, AGENTS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability to the extent that applicable law prohibits its exclusion or limitation. These Terms do not waive rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Enduring Steps and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the website or material violation of these Terms. This provision does not require indemnification to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or restrict website content or features at any time, subject to applicable law. We may also revise these Terms. Updated Terms will be posted with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the website after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Subject to any rights or venue rules that cannot lawfully be waived, disputes relating to these Terms or the website will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction serving Alameda County, California.

If a provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision. These Terms, together with policies expressly incorporated by reference and any additional terms presented for a particular feature or transaction, constitute the applicable agreement concerning use of the website.
