Homeschooler House provides a variety of services and tools for the homeschool community exclusively in the United States of America. Homeschooler House is a homeschool-focused brand by Free Minds Thrive, LLC.

Registered active members (called “Families”) of the Homeschooler House family and business directory website may create a free user account to access the website, many (but not all) of its tools, and the community on a monthly basis; Members may also voluntarily pay a nominal monthly subscription (“Dues”) to help support the community site and its service, as well as receive some added benefits. Homeschooler House may also charge fees for attending events/meetups that we organize, and for other things related to our homeschool business (such as charging for access to lesson materials, coaching services, courses, merchandise, and more), and we may provide opportunities for businesses, organizations, and other persons to pay us to show you ads on the website and via other communications (such as email or phone) for their products, services, and other offerings.

By registering as a free or paid Family individual (or Member) of HomeschoolerHouse.com, and using our website products and services, you agree that we can show you ads or similarly-promoted content that we think may be beneficial to the community (though we are not responsible for those third-party products or services). We may use your personal data (along with the data of others) to help determine which ads to approve and show to the Homeschooler House user community.

We will also use your registered email address to send email communications regarding website activity as well as to communicate about brand/company updates and offers.

We don’t sell your personal data to advertisers, and we don’t share information that directly identifies you (such as your name, email address, or other contact information) with advertisers unless you give us specific permission, or unless advertisers are part of the community at Homeschooler House and can see your personal information in your profile and posts (essentially, anything you share that others can see). Advertisers can tell us things like the kind of audience they want to see their ads, and we may choose to show their ads in certain areas of the website.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your personal data to determine some of the ads you see and provide all of the other services described below and available at and through HomeschoolerHouse.com. You can also go to your setting page(s) of the relevant Homeschooler House (by Free Minds Thrive, LLC) product at any time to review the information you’ve provided there.

If you have any questions or concerns prior to interacting with or using our site (or services/products), or wish to delete your account, please reach out to us at: hello (at) homeschoolerhouse (dot) com.

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms of Use and Service. You agree not to use the Website:

• In any way that would violate any applicable federal, state, or local law of the United States of America (including, without limitation, any laws regarding the export of data or software to and from the US or other countries) and is not protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (the “First Amendment”).

• For the purpose of exploiting, harming, or attempting to exploit or harm minors in any way by exposing them to inappropriate content, asking for personally identifiable information, or otherwise.

• To send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use, or re-use any material that does not comply with the Content Standards set out in these Terms of Service.

• To transmit, or procure the sending of, any unwanted advertising or promotional material, including any “junk mail,” “chain letter,” “spam,” tagging random users in posts on your timeline, follower spam, or any other similar solicitation. For avoidance of doubt, this is not thought to encompass reasonable commercial use of a Gab feed by a commercial entity or individual to advertise your own commercial products.

• To impersonate or attempt to impersonate the Company or a Company employee, or to impersonate another user or any other person or entity for a purpose that is not protected by the First Amendment.

• To engage in any other conduct which, as determined by us, may result in the physical harm or offline harassment of the Company, individual users of the Website or any other person (e.g. “doxing”), or expose them to liability.

User Contributions

The Website may contain message boards, chat rooms, personal web pages or profiles, forums, bulletin boards, group pages, discussion threads, and other interactive features (collectively, “Interactive Services”) that allow users to post, submit, publish, display, or transmit content or materials (collectively, “User Contributions”) on or through the Website.

All User Contributions must comply with the Content Standards set out in these Terms of Service. Any User Contribution you post to the site will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By providing any User Contribution on the Website, you grant us and our affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our licensees, successors, and assigns an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free right to use, republish, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute, and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose.

You represent and warrant that:

You own or control all rights in and to the User Contributions and have the right to grant the license granted above to us and our affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors, and assigns.

All of your User Contributions do and will comply with these Terms of Service.

You understand and acknowledge that you are responsible for any User Contributions you submit or contribute, and you, not the Company, have full responsibility for such content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy, and appropriateness.

We are not responsible or liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any User Contributions posted by you or any other user of the Website.

We strive to ensure that the First Amendment remains the Website’s standard for content moderation. We will make best efforts to ensure that all content moderation decisions and enforcement of these terms of service does not punish users for exercising their God-given right to speak freely. We collect comparatively little data on our users relative to other social networking sites. Our default position is that we should implement no prior restraints on any User Contribution. However, given the breadth of speech we permit, there may be circumstances where we are unable to determine whether content is protected by the First Amendment or not and prudence may require us to err on the side of caution. Accordingly, the Company reserves the right to take any action with respect to any User Contribution that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including the following:

Take any action with respect to any User Contribution that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including if we believe that such User Contribution violates the Terms of Service, including the Content Standards, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, or could threaten the physical safety of users of the Website or the public. Take appropriate legal action, including without limitation referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Website or in cases of life-threatening emergency. Terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Website for any violation of these Terms of Service. It is the policy of the Company to not provide any user data to any person unless compelled by a court order issued by a U.S. court, except in cases of life-threatening emergency. The Company reserves the right to change or deviate from this policy at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice to you. Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or civil and criminal court orders requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone posting any materials on or through the Website. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSEES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING, OR TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF, INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES. We do not review material before it is posted on the Website and cannot ensure prompt removal of unlawful material after it has been posted. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications, or content provided by any user or third party. We have no liability or responsibility to anyone for performance or nonperformance of the activities described in this section. We are not responsible or liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any User Contributions posted by you or any other user of the Website.

Content Standards

These Content Standards apply to any and all User Contributions and use of Interactive Services. As a general rule, written expression that is protected political, religious, symbolic, or commercial speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution will be allowed on the Website. User Contributions absolutely must in their entirety comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations in the United States. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, User Contributions must NOT:

Be unlawful or be made in furtherance of any unlawful purpose. User Contributions must not aid, abet, assist, counsel, procure or solicit the commission of, nor constitute an attempt or part of a conspiracy to commit, any unlawful act. For avoidance of doubt, speech which is merely offensive or the expression of an offensive or controversial idea or opinion, as a general rule, will be in poor taste but will not be illegal in the United States. Unlawfully threaten. Incite imminent lawless action. Interfere with the operation of any computer. Be obscene, sexually explicit or pornographic. Note that mere nudity e.g. as a form of protest or for educational/medical reasons will not fall foul of this rule. Infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or other intellectual property or other rights of any other person. Violate the legal rights (including the rights of publicity and privacy) of others or contain any material that could give rise to any civil or criminal liability under applicable laws or regulations of the United States or that otherwise may be in conflict with these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. Impersonate any person, or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or organization, for a purpose not protected by the First Amendment. Involve commercial activities relating to finance, investments or gambling, such as contests and sweepstakes, penny stock promotion, money transmission, or Initial Coin Offerings; or the trade of live or endangered animals or animal parts, or anything that portrays or encourages the abuse of animals. Give the impression that they emanate from or are endorsed by us or any other person or entity, if this is not the case. Link to any content from the above-listed categories. Although our Content Standards, following the First Amendment, do not proscribe offensive speech, we strongly encourage you to ensure that your User Contributions are cordial and civil. The foundation of a free society requires people to peacefully settle their differences through dialogue and debate. Gab exists to promote the free flow of information online. It is our view that the responsible exercise of one’s free speech rights is its own reward and, as a general rule, the most well-respected online publishers tend to be the ones who behave the most civilly and put forward their arguments most intelligently. Our policy on “hate speech” is to allow all speech which is permitted by the First Amendment and to disallow all speech which is not permitted by the First Amendment. We allow hate speech, as defined in New York law, if it is lawful because it is lawful. We reserve the right to remove speech when it is unlawful because it is unlawful. We will not be tracking “hate speech,” providing any mechanism to report it specifically, nor responding to anyone who reports it, because the Constitution and Federal law protect our right to do so and forbid New York from legislating otherwise. If users wish to file a report for content which is objectionable they may do so with our moderation team via the usual channels. If they report conduct which is “hateful conduct” under New York law but which is lawful under the First Amendment they should expect that no action will be taken by us. We have the ability to respond to moderation reports but never do so.

If you believe that any User Contributions violate your copyright, please see our Copyright Policy for instructions on sending us a notice of copyright infringement. It is the policy of the Company to terminate the user accounts of repeat infringers.

We are not responsible or liable to any third party for the content or accuracy of any User Contributions posted by you or any other user of the Website.
