You may use this website for lawful, personal, informational, charitable, volunteer, sponsorship, program, or community engagement purposes.

You agree not to misuse the website, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, upload malicious code, scrape or copy content without permission, submit false or misleading information, impersonate another person, or use the website in a way that could harm The Empower Play Project or others.

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or block access to the website if we believe a user has violated these Terms & Conditions, misused our services, or created a safety, security, legal, or operational concern.

The Empower Play Project may change, postpone, reschedule, cancel, or modify programs or events due to weather, safety, staffing, facility, funding, partner, public health, legal, or operational needs.

Donations, sponsorship payments, registration fees, merchandise purchases, or other payments made through this website may be processed by third-party payment providers. Those providers may have their own terms, privacy policies, security practices, fees, and refund rules.

Unless clearly stated otherwise, donations are voluntary contributions to support The Empower Play Project’s mission, programs, events, outreach, operations, and related activities.

Donation refunds, if requested, will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may depend on payment processor rules, timing, administrative limitations, and whether funds have already been allocated or used.

Sponsorship benefits, recognition, logo use, event presence, promotional opportunities, deliverables, payment terms, and related commitments must be confirmed in a separate written agreement or approved communication.

The Empower Play Project reserves the right to decline sponsorships, partnerships, promotions, vendors, or collaborations that do not align with its mission, values, audience, community standards, or operational needs.
