Neighborhood Nurturers
Effective Date: June 10, 2025 Last Updated: June 12, 2026
1. Introduction and Acceptance of These Terms
Neighborhood Nurturers (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) operates the website located at neighborhoodnurturers.com and the related services, features, and content offered through it (collectively, the “Services”).
Our mission is simple: to give people a voice and allow them to share information about what is happening in their own communities — their towns and cities — including local news, local deals, events, and issues that may be under-reported elsewhere.
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and the Company governing your access to and use of the Services. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not access or use the Services.
PLEASE READ SECTION 14 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS-ACTION WAIVER) CAREFULLY. It affects your legal rights, requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court, and waives your right to participate in a class action. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days as described in that section.
2. Who May Use the Services
You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with the Company and are not barred from doing so under any applicable law.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; see our Privacy Policy and Section 12.
The Services are intended for users located in the United States. All town and city groups correspond to communities within the United States, and the Services are operated from and governed by the laws of the United States and the State of New York. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use outside the United States.
If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity.
3. The Services and How Posting Works
The Services allow you to create an account, join the group for your town or city, and post and read content about your local community. You can also be alerted by email when new posts appear in your area.
When you create a post, you must label it using one of the available post categories:
- “Community” — for posts about an issue, event, or happening in your town or city.
- “Deals” — for posts about a local deal, sale, or money-saving opportunity you want to share.
If you don’t see your town/city, please email the name of your town/city you want made to neighborhoodnurturers0@gmail.com, and in the subject line write “New Town/City – NAME OF TOWN/CITY, STATE” and we will consider adding it as a group.
We may add, change, or remove post categories and groups over time. We may remove posts that do not comply with these Terms, and we may suspend or terminate accounts as described in Section 11.
4. Town Team Accounts
Certain accounts on the Services, identified as “Town Team,” are operated by Neighborhood Nurturers rather than by individual community members. Town Team accounts post curated and aggregated local content — such as news, public notices, events, and deals — drawn from publicly available sources.
Town Team posts are labeled “Town Team” where they appear, and Town Team accounts are identified as such on their account profiles. Town Team content does not represent the personal experiences or opinions of an individual resident, and you should not rely on it as such.
Where Town Team content is drawn from third-party sources, those sources are responsible for the underlying information, and Neighborhood Nurturers does not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. Links or references to third-party sources do not constitute endorsement.
5. Your Account and Anonymity
To post or interact on the Services you must create an account. Accounts are displayed publicly using an assigned user identifier (for example, “User 5090”) rather than your real name. Other users do not see your real identity through the public-facing Services.
Anonymity is not a license to cause harm. Your assigned identifier does not exempt you from these Terms or from applicable law, and we may disclose information as described in Section 13 and our Privacy Policy, including to comply with legal process.
You are responsible for safeguarding your account and password and for all activity under your account. Use a strong password and keep it confidential. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized use of your account caused by your failure to safeguard it. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
6. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Content
You are solely responsible for the content you post and for your conduct on the Services. You agree that you will not post, share, or transmit any content, or engage in any conduct, that:
- Reveals or distributes another person’s private or identifying information without their consent (“doxxing”), including home address, phone number, workplace, or similar details about a private individual;
- Targets, harasses, bullies, intimidates, or threatens a specific, identifiable private individual;
- Contains a knowingly false statement of fact about an identifiable person or business (as opposed to a genuine opinion, personal experience, or fair commentary);
- Threatens violence against any person or group, or incites others to do so;
- Is unlawful, fraudulent, or promotes illegal activity;
- Impersonates any person or entity, or misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity;
- Infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other proprietary right;
- Sexually exploits or endangers a minor, or contains sexual content involving minors;
- Is spam, or is posted through automated means to interfere with or place an undue burden on the Services;
- Contains viruses, malware, or code designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to any system; or
- Violates these Terms or any applicable local, state, or federal law.
Note on community speech: Sharing genuine opinions, personal experiences, and fair commentary about local businesses, landlords, institutions, and public matters is a core purpose of the Services and is permitted. The prohibitions above are aimed at knowingly false factual claims and at conduct that targets or endangers specific private individuals — not at honest local discussion.
7. User Content; No Endorsement by the Company
The Services are an interactive computer service that hosts content created by users and other third parties (“User Content”). The Company does not create User Content, does not adopt it as its own, and does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the accuracy, truthfulness, or reliability of any User Content. All User Content is the sole responsibility of the person who originated it.
You understand that by using the Services you may encounter content that is inaccurate, offensive, or otherwise objectionable. Any reliance on User Content is at your own risk.
The Company is a provider of an interactive computer service under 47 U.S.C. § 230 and is not the publisher or speaker of User Content provided by others. Nothing in these Terms makes the Company responsible or liable for User Content created by users or third parties.
8. Reporting and Content Moderation
You may report or flag content that you believe violates these Terms using the reporting tools provided through the Services. We review reported content and may remove content or take action against accounts at our discretion.
We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to monitor, review, screen, remove, or disable access to any content at any time and for any reason, including content we believe violates these Terms or may expose the Company or others to harm or liability. Our decision to remove or not remove content does not waive any right and does not make us responsible or liable for content we do not remove.
9. Your Content and the Rights You Grant Us
You retain ownership of the content you submit, post, or display on the Services. What’s yours is yours.
By submitting, posting, or displaying content on the Services, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt (for formatting and display), and distribute that content solely for the purposes of operating, providing, improving, and promoting the Services. This license ends when you delete your content or your account, except that (a) content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period, and (b) content you shared with others who have not deleted it may remain visible.
This license does not grant us the right to sell your content to third parties or to syndicate it for unrelated commercial purposes without a separate basis to do so. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to the content you post and to grant this license, and that your content does not violate the rights of any third party.
10. Copyright Policy and DMCA Notice-and-Takedown
The Company respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
10.1 Reporting Alleged Infringement
If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent (below) that includes all of the following: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (3) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (such as the post’s URL or user identifier); (4) your contact information (address, telephone number, and email); (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

If your content was removed and you believe it was removed in error or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the Designated Agent that includes: (1) your signature; (2) identification of the removed material and the location where it appeared; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; (4) your name, address, and telephone number; and (5) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your judicial district, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent.
10.4 Repeat Infringers
We will, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
11. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account or your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, if your conduct could harm the Company or other users, or as otherwise permitted by law. You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time.
Upon termination, the rights and licenses granted to you under these Terms end, but the following sections survive: Sections 7, 9 (as to surviving license terms), 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, along with any other provision that by its nature should survive.
12. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy, available at neighborhoodnurturers.com/privacy-policy, explains how we collect, use, and share information. By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in the Privacy Policy.
13. Disclaimers — Services Provided “AS IS”
Your access to and use of the Services and any content is at your own risk. The Services are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis.
The “Neighborhood Nurturers Entities” means the Company and its parents, affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, members, employees, agents, representatives, partners, and licensors. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Neighborhood Nurturers Entities disclaim all warranties and conditions, whether express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Neighborhood Nurturers Entities make no warranty and disclaim all responsibility and liability for: (i) the completeness, accuracy, availability, timeliness, security, or reliability of the Services or any content; (ii) any harm to your device, loss of data, or other harm resulting from your use of the Services; (iii) the deletion of, or failure to store or transmit, any content; and (iv) whether the Services will meet your requirements or be available uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. No advice or information obtained from the Services creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
14. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights. It requires most disputes between you and the Company to be resolved through individual binding arbitration rather than in court, and it waives your right to participate in a class action. It is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
14.1 Informal Resolution First
Before starting an arbitration, you agree to first contact us at neighborhoodnurturers0@gmail.com with a written description of your dispute and to attempt to resolve it informally for at least 60 days.
14.2 Agreement to Arbitrate
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies.
14.3 Class-Action and Jury Waiver
You and the Company agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class proceeding. You and the Company waive any right to a jury trial.
14.4 Arbitration Rules and Forum
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its consumer arbitration rules then in effect. The arbitration will take place in Albany County, New York, or be conducted by video, telephone, or written submissions as the rules allow. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
14.5 Your Right to Opt Out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to neighborhoodnurturers0@gmail.com stating your user identifier and that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes proceed in the courts identified in Section 15. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
14.6 Severability of This Section
If the class-action waiver in Section 14.3 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court, but the rest of this Section 14 will remain in effect. If any other part of this Section 14 is found unenforceable, it will be severed and the remainder will continue to apply.
15. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of New York and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 14 (Arbitration), any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of the state in which you reside, to the extent those provisions cannot be waived by agreement.
16. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Neighborhood Nurturers Entities from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (i) the content you post or your use of the Services; (ii) your violation of these Terms; (iii) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party; or (iv) any dispute between you and another user. We may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.
17. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Neighborhood Nurturers Entities will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from: (i) your access to, use of, or inability to access or use the Services; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Services, including any defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of other users; (iii) any content obtained from the Services; or (iv) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of the Neighborhood Nurturers Entities for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00) or the amount you paid the Company, if any, in the past six months for the Services giving rise to the claim. These limitations apply to any theory of liability, whether based on warranty, contract, statute, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
18. Prohibited Technical Conduct
You agree not to misuse the Services. Without limitation, you may not: (i) access, tamper with, or use non-public areas of the Services or our systems; (ii) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measures; (iii) access or search the Services by automated means except through interfaces we provide (crawling is permitted only in accordance with our robots.txt; scraping without our prior written consent is prohibited); (iv) forge headers or use the Services to send altered, deceptive, or false source-identifying information; or (v) interfere with or disrupt the Services or any user, host, or network, including by sending viruses, overloading, flooding, spamming, or mail-bombing the Services.
19. Changes to These Terms and to the Services
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Changes are not retroactive. The current version will always be posted on this page. If we make material changes, we will try to notify you, for example by a service notification or an email to the address associated with your account. By continuing to use the Services after changes take effect, you agree to the revised Terms.
The Services evolve over time. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Services or any feature at our discretion, and we may set limits on use or storage. We may remove or refuse to distribute content, suspend or terminate users, and reclaim user identifiers, in each case as permitted by law.
20. General Terms
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. The Company’s trademarks, logos, domain names, and brand features are owned by the Company, and these Terms grant you no right to use them. Headings are for convenience only.
