Welcome to the web site (“Our Site”) of Infinite Family (“Infinite Family,” “we,” or “us”). Infinite Family’s mission is to connect children with mentors around the world. These Terms of Use (“Terms”), including our Privacy Statement, set forth the conditions for your use of Our Site. Our Site includes the main site at https://www.infinitefamily.org and the Ezomndeni Net site at https://eznet.infinitefamily.org (“EZNet”), where our mentors and mentees can interact with the rest of the Infinite Family community. By using Our Site, you consent to these Terms, including our collection and use of information about you in accordance with the Privacy Statement. We may update these Terms, including our Privacy Statement, from time to time by posting the modified Terms or Privacy Statement on this page, or, if we determine that it’s appropriate, we may post a notice of the change on our home page. By continuing to use Our Site after we have posted such modifications or notice, you agree to the modified Terms.
Please read these Terms carefully, because by using Our Site, you agree to be bound by and comply with its terms. If you do not agree to comply with these Terms, you are not authorized to use Our Site.
EZNet: Accounts
If you are an Infinite Family mentor, mentee, employee, or advisor, you may register for EZNet account (“EZNet Account”), which allows you to use EZNet’s interactive features, such as its discussion forums and blogs. When you register for an EZNet Account, you will be required to select a user name and password, and you may include other information you wish to share with the EZNet community in your EZNet profile. Please carefully review our Privacy Statement to learn more about how information you provide in connection with your EZNet Account and member profile is treated.
You are responsible for all activity under your EZNet Account, including the information and material you provide under it. You must keep the password for your EZNet Account confidential, and you may not transfer your EZNet Account or otherwise do anything to give another person access to it. You must notify Infinite Family immediately if you become aware that anyone has gained unauthorized access to your EZNet Account. You represent, warrant, and covenant that all information you provide in connection with your EZNet Account is accurate and complete.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate any EZNet Account or to block access to EZNet and the rest of Our Site at any time if we suspect that you have not complied with these Terms or for other reasons that we determine in good faith are necessary or appropriate, including if we suspect you are using or attempting to use Our Site in any way that violates any applicable laws or regulations. We are not liable to you for any loss or damage that may result from any refusal to provide you access to Our Site or any portion of it.
EZNet: User Content
EZNet allows users to submit and share information and materials, including text, information, images, photographs, video, or other works of authorship (all together, “User Content”). (References to this User Content also include the member profile you create under your EZNet Account.)
If you submit User Content to Our Site, you grant us an irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, unrestricted license (with the right to sub-license the rights) to reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, and publicly display and perform User Content on Our Site, in whole or in part, in any media now known or later developed; to use the names, likenesses, voices, and other information you submit as part of User Content; and to identify User Content with our description or additional information. When you submit any User Content, you represent, warrant, and covenant that (A) you have the right to submit it; (B) you have obtained all rights and consents necessary to grant this license; and (C) the User Content does not and will not violate any third party’s copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, right to privacy or publicity, or any other proprietary, personal or other right of any kind. You irrevocably release (on behalf of yourself, your successors, heirs, family members, and executors) Infinite Family from any claim of any nature that you have or may ever have (based on any cause of action, including rights of publicity or privacy, trademark or service mark, copyright, “moral rights,” false light, libel, defamation, false advertising, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress) arising out of any use of User Content you submit and any use of your name, likeness, or other identifiable traits in connection with User Content. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” If you reside in any other jurisdiction that places similar restrictions on a general release, you waive such restrictions to the maximum extent permissible under the applicable law.
We have no obligation to display or otherwise use any User Content in any way. We have the right to delete, modify, or supplement User Content (or to prohibit you from submitting any further User Content) at any time for any reason without notice to anyone. User Content is not confidential and is available to Infinite Family and the EZNet community.
You are solely responsible for any User Content that you submit to EZNet. We do not endorse or adopt any User Content. We have no obligation to pre-screen, monitor, edit, supplement, or delete User Content, but we reserve the right to do so at any time without notice to anyone. We may restrict you from submitting new User Content or from otherwise participating in EZNet’s interactive features for any reason at any time. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in removing User Content that does not comply with these Terms.
EZNet: Conduct
We value a diversity of viewpoints and expect users of EZNet to exhibit the same level of respect for others on EZNet as they would in any community forum. All users must practice discretion and maintain civility on EZNet.
Accordingly, you may not (A) submit, upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available any User Content or other information that is unlawful, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, explicitly sexual, obscene, or libelous, or that is threatening, intimidating, hostile, harassing, abusive on the basis of personal beliefs or other characteristics or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate; (B) send any unauthorized, unsolicited, junk, spam or bulk email, or any advertising or other form of communication that violates these Terms or any law or regulation; or (C) upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any User Content or other materials or information that contain any computer code, file or program designed to interrupt, corrupt, destroy or otherwise interfere with or limit the functionality of any software, hardware or equipment or make any authorized transmission or cause any other effect that might reasonably be considered undesirable.
EZNet: Notice And Procedure For Making Claims Of Copyright Infringement
We respect the copyright and other proprietary rights of third parties. However, we cannot monitor all material posted on EZNet. If you believe that any material posted on EZNet infringes your copyright, then you may request the removal of those materials from EZNet in accordance with the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), and the procedures described below.
A notice of infringing material that complies with the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) (“Notice”) must be sent to the agent we have designated with the Copyright Office:
Amy Stokes
Infinite Family
+1 212 400 7446 x11
+27 (0)11 560 7997 x11
amy.stokes@infinitefamily.org
To comply with the Copyright Act, your Notice must be in writing and must include the following:
(1) A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
(2) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
(3) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
(4) Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
(5) A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
(6) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and made under penalty of perjury, and that you are the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
When we receive a Notice that complies with the Copyright Act, we may remove the identified material and make a good-faith effort to inform the user who posted the allegedly infringing material (the “alleged infringer”) of the Notice and subsequent removal. The alleged infringer may then provide us with a counter-notice (“Counter-Notice”) that the initial infringement notice was erroneous. Such Counter-Notice must be in writing and must include:
(1) A physical or electronic signature of the alleged infringer;
(2) Identification of the material removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
(3) A statement under penalty of perjury that the alleged infringer has a good faith belief that the material was removed or access to it disabled as a result of error;
(4) The alleged infringer’s name, address, and telephone number; and
(5) A statement of consent to jurisdiction in federal district court and that the alleged infringer consents to service of process from the complaining party or its agent.
Upon receipt of a Counter-Notice, we will notify you of the Counter-Notice and restore the material within 10 to 14 business days of receipt of the Counter-Notice, unless you inform us that you have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing party from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on EZNet.
