Terms and Conditions

Communa - the website at www.communa.app and the Communa mobile app, together the "Platform" - is owned and operated by Moward, Inc. (the "Company", "we", "us", "our"), incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States, with its office at 8401 Mayland Dr #6463, Richmond, Virginia 23294, United States.

By registering for, accessing or using the Platform you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to them, do not use the Platform. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page; continued use after that means you accept the change.

1. Who can use Communa

Communa instances are opened by associations. Only an association - a professional body, trade association, industry council, chamber of commerce or comparable member organisation - can hold an account with the Company, under a subscription agreement. There is no public self-registration.

Everyone else reaches the Platform through an association: members, office bearers, delegates, learners, nominated contacts of a member organisation, and the association's own staff and appointees. Their access is created and controlled by that association, and ends when the association ends it.

All account holders must be at least 18 years old. Anyone accepting these Terms on behalf of an association or another organisation confirms they are authorised to bind it.

2. Your account

Account details must be accurate and kept current. Credentials are personal and must be kept confidential, and any suspected use of an account by someone else should be reported to support@communa.app; the account holder is responsible for what happens through their account. The Company may suspend or close an account where the information given is false or these Terms are broken, and an association may do the same for the access it has granted.

3. Subscriptions and fees

Access is provided on a subscription basis under a separate written order form or subscription agreement between the Company (or an authorised reseller) and the association. Fees, terms, member capacity and renewal are set out there. Unless that agreement says otherwise, fees are payable in advance in United States dollars, are exclusive of taxes, and are non-refundable except where expressly stated. Overdue amounts may lead to suspension of access. Where a signed agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement prevails between its parties.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Platform to post, send or store anything that:

• is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, hateful, or that threatens or endangers any person
• sexualises or endangers a child in any way (see our CSAE Declaration)
• infringes anyone's intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights
• impersonates another person or misrepresents your identity, age or affiliation
• contains malware, or attempts to reach accounts, data or systems you are not entitled to
• scrapes, spiders or harvests data from the Platform by automated means
• interferes with anyone else's use of the Platform.

We may remove content and suspend accounts that break this section.

5. Your content and our rights

You keep ownership of what you post. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce and display it to the extent needed to operate the Platform and provide the service to your association. The Platform itself - software, design, text, graphics, trademarks and everything else we supply - belongs to the Company, and nothing in these Terms transfers any of it to you.

If you use the Platform through an association, an End User Licence Agreement also applies. It is presented to you inside the Platform when you create an account and is available from your account at any time.

6. Your association's rules

Associations set their own rules for their communities, and those apply to you alongside these Terms. Where an association's rules conflict with these Terms or our Privacy Policy, these Terms and the Privacy Policy prevail. Disputes between members, or between a member and an association, are for those parties to resolve - we are not a party to them.

7. Third-party links and services

The Platform may link to third-party sites and services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, products or privacy practices.

8. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Platform at any time, and can ask us to delete your account - see the Delete My Account page. We may suspend or terminate access where these Terms are broken, where the association's subscription ends, or where the law requires it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination - fees owed, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law - do survive it.

9. Disclaimers

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that content posted by associations or members is accurate.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE OR DATA. THE COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PLATFORM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID FOR THE PLATFORM IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, in which case they apply to the greatest extent permitted.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify the Company against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Platform, or content you post.

12. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

13. General

If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remain in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a sale of the business. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Disclaimer and any signed subscription agreement, are the entire agreement between us.
