1. Acceptance of these Terms
By using this website, submitting a form, making a donation, requesting help, contacting us, downloading public documents, or interacting with Foundation materials, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should not use the website.
2. Mission and public information
Cerebral Palsy Community Foundation provides public information about its charitable mission, programs, governance, donation opportunities, volunteer opportunities, advocacy, community-building work, technology goals, and public documents.
We try to keep information accurate and current, but the website may contain incomplete, outdated, translated, summarized, or general information. We may update, remove, or revise website content at any time.
3. Requests for help
A request for help is an invitation for the Foundation to review information. It is not a contract, entitlement, promise, guarantee, or approval of assistance.
The Foundation may approve, decline, defer, prioritize, modify, request more information about, or stop reviewing a request based on mission alignment, eligibility standards, documentation, urgency, fairness, available funds, available partners, risk, safety, administrative capacity, and applicable law.
The Foundation may communicate with the applicant, parent, guardian, caregiver, service provider, vendor, volunteer, or partner when reasonably necessary to review or coordinate potential support.
The website and request forms are not emergency services. If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical, psychiatric, protective, housing, or safety assistance, they should contact local emergency services or appropriate crisis resources.
4. Donations and charitable use of funds
Donations support the Foundation’s charitable mission, programs, operations, public benefit purposes, governance obligations, and work for people affected by cerebral palsy and related severe disabilities.
The Foundation stewards charitable funds through its governing documents, board-approved policies, financial controls, public benefit responsibilities, and applicable law. This allows donations to be used responsibly where they can advance the mission and support sustainable programs.
If a donor expresses a preference for a particular program, need, or purpose, the Foundation will consider that preference. A donation is restricted only if the Foundation expressly accepts the restriction in writing and the restriction is lawful, practical, mission-aligned, and administratively feasible.
Donation processing may be handled by third-party payment providers. Donors are responsible for reviewing payment details before completing a donation. Tax treatment depends on applicable law and the donor’s individual circumstances, and donors should consult their own tax advisor when needed.
5. Volunteers, partners, and fundraising supporters
Volunteer, partner, and fundraising-partner information on the website is an invitation to connect, not a guarantee of acceptance, role assignment, reimbursement, compensation, authority, employment, agency, or representation of the Foundation.
The Foundation may review, accept, decline, pause, or end volunteer or partner involvement based on mission fit, safety, trust, capacity, communication, legal obligations, and the needs of the people we serve.
No volunteer, supporter, donor, partner, or outside person may speak for the Foundation, solicit funds in the Foundation’s name, promise assistance, use Foundation materials, or represent an official relationship unless the Foundation has authorized that role.
6. No professional advice
Website content is provided for general public information. It is not medical, therapeutic, legal, financial, tax, benefits, housing, immigration, insurance, disability-rights, engineering, technology-safety, or emergency advice. People should consult qualified professionals for advice about their own circumstances.
7. Acceptable use
You may not use the website, forms, email, public documents, or Foundation materials to submit false information, impersonate another person, harass others, exploit vulnerable people, interfere with website security, scrape or misuse data, upload malicious code, infringe intellectual property, violate law, or damage the Foundation’s mission, participants, donors, volunteers, partners, or public trust.
8. Intellectual property and public documents
Unless otherwise stated, website text, design, graphics, logos, photographs, layouts, and other materials are owned by or licensed to the Foundation or used with permission. Public governance documents may be downloaded for transparency and review, but they may not be altered, misrepresented, sold, or used to imply endorsement.
People may link to public pages of the website in a respectful and non-misleading way. The Foundation may ask that links, copied materials, or uses of its name be corrected or removed if they are misleading, harmful, unauthorized, or inconsistent with the mission.
9. Third-party services and links
The website may link to or use third-party services, including online forms, payment processors, document tools, maps, analytics, videos, social media, partner websites, and external resources. The Foundation is not responsible for third-party websites, services, content, privacy practices, terms, fees, errors, outages, or security incidents.
10. Translations
The Foundation may provide translated pages to make information more accessible. Translations may be produced or assisted by automated tools and may contain imperfections. If a translated version conflicts with the English version, the English version should be treated as the controlling version unless the Foundation states otherwise in writing.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
The website and materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Foundation disclaims warranties of accuracy, availability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted operation, and freedom from errors or harmful components.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Foundation, its directors, officers, volunteers, employees, contractors, advisors, and partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or similar damages arising from use of the website, forms, third-party services, public materials, or reliance on website information.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit liability where limitation is prohibited by law.
13. Changes to the website and Terms
We may update the website, programs, forms, policies, public documents, donation options, volunteer opportunities, and these Terms at any time. The updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised date.
14. Governing law
These Terms are intended to be governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable United States law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where another law must apply.
