PRELIMINARY SITE TERMS

Terms of Use

These are preliminary terms for an early version of the Help Foster Youth website. They have not been reviewed by an attorney and will be replaced with reviewed terms before a formal public launch.

Informational use

This site is offered for general informational purposes: to help people find ways to support children and youth in foster care, and to help youth and families find resources. By using the site you agree to use it for those purposes and in line with these terms.

Third-party resources and links

Organizations listed here are independent of Help Foster Youth, and links lead to sites we do not control. Listing is not endorsement, certification or a guarantee. See the Resource Disclaimer for details.

No guarantee of accuracy

We work carefully from documentation, but we cannot guarantee that any information is accurate, complete, current or continuously available. Please confirm important details directly with the organization.

Not professional advice

Nothing here is legal, medical, financial or other professional advice, and using this site does not create a professional relationship of any kind.

Intellectual property

Help Foster Youth’s name, butterfly mark, page text, layout and design belong to Help Foster Youth. Organization names, logos and descriptions belong to their respective owners. You may share and link to pages for personal, educational or community purposes with attribution; please do not copy the site wholesale or present it as your own.

Appropriate use

Please do not:

  • use the site to harass, endanger or exploit any child, youth or family;
  • misrepresent an organization, or submit false or misleading information;
  • scrape, bulk-harvest or resell listings, or overload the site;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems;
  • use the site for anything unlawful.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, and Help Foster Youth and its volunteers are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site, reliance on its information, or your dealings with any listed organization.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as the site develops. Continued use after an update means you accept the current version.

Preliminary and not attorney-approved. These terms will receive legal review before a formal public launch, and before donations, accounts, organization submissions, or scholarship or payment features are activated. None of those features are active today.
