If you believe that any postings on the Site violate this Agreement, please let us know by contacting us at workerants1@gmail.com. We try to review all reported violations and, if we agree with you, we will take appropriate action.  In all cases though, WorkerAnts is the final judge on whether this Agreement has been violated and we will determine in our sole discretion what, if any, action should be to taken.

Fundraising and Donations.

 If You Plan on Raising Money for Your Favorite Cause, Please Pay Attention to the Following Guidelines.

WorkerAnts permits individual members and colonies to plan, coordinate, schedule and communicate with each other through the colony pages and individual home pages regarding legitimate and lawful fundraising and fundraising events related to third party sites and organizations.  Organizations are permitted to post notifications of fundraising events on their own Organization’s page or in a colony they administer, along with links to their external website for further information regarding the fundraiser.  WorkerAnts does not permit direct solicitations for donations.  If someone is asking you for money, and not just telling you about a fundraising event or letting you know that you may donate at a certain third party site, please let us know immediately.  Again, we will try to review all reported violations and, if we agree with you, take appropriate action.

If you choose to plan, coordinate, schedule or promote a legitimate and lawful fundraiser, you take full responsibility for such fundraiser, and you agree that: (i) such fundraiser shall comply with all applicable laws; (ii) you are solely responsible for all facets of the fundraiser; (iii) you may not use the WorkerAnts name, logo or any other WorkerAnts intellectual property in the rules or any other materials relating to the fundraiser without WorkerAnts’ express prior written consent;  (iv) such fundraiser is not marketed to anyone under the older of the age of 18 or the age of majority for the state or country in which you reside; and (vi) such fundraiser may not endorse, sponsor or promote anything related to gambling, alcohol, illegal or prescription drugs, pornography, or tobacco.

If you choose to participate in, including by planning, coordinating or otherwise promoting, a fundraiser that is planned, coordinated, scheduled or promoted on this Site, you acknowledge and agree that (i) WorkerAnts does not sponsor, endorse or administer the fundraiser; (ii) you release WorkerAnts from any and all liability arising from or related to the fundraiser; and (iii) all questions concerning the fundraiser must be directed to the organization or user coordinating or notifying you of the fundraiser and not to WorkerAnts.  You also agree to  indemnify and hold WorkerAnts harmless from and against all damages, losses, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs) for any claim related to the fundraiser, including the publicity or administration thereof.  If you do not agree to these terms, you may not participate in,  publicize or administer a fundraiser on the Site.

WorkerAnts may administer fundraisers on the Site.  We will clearly specify that WorkerAnts is administering such fundraiser and such fundraiser will be subject to the rules and guidelines posted for the applicable fundraiser.  If you participate in a WorkerAnts administered fundraiser, you agree to be subject to the applicable rules and guidelines.

Changes and Modifications.

We May Make Changes At Any Time to this Agreement and Other Information on the Site.

We may modify this Agreement, the price of products or services offered on the Site, any related policies and agreements, Information, or nature of the Site at any time and without prior notice to you. Such changes shall become effective immediately upon the posting thereof.  We invite you to check this Agreement periodically to see if the terms or conditions have been updated. If you do not agree to any such change, your sole recourse is to immediately stop all use of the Site. By continuing the use of the Site following the posting of change, you accept and agree to the changes. If you have any regarding the use of our Site, please contact us [link].

Please note that if any changes to the Agreement, including the Privacy Policy, are deemed “material” we may provide notification by either e-mail or posting.

Indemnification.

If we are sued because of something you did, you have to pay our costs.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold WorkerAnts and any of its affiliates and or related entities, and their directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, losses (including consequential and indirect losses) and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising in any way from your use of the Site, products or services, including infringement of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity, or of this Agreement. You agree to cooperate as fully as reasonably required in WorkerAnts’ defense of any claim. WorkerAnts reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with WorkerAnts’ defense of such claim and you shall not in any event settle any matter without WorkerAnts’ prior written consent.

WorkerAnts expressly reserves its right to seek additional elements of actual or consequential damages other than those expressly identified above.

Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability.

We strive to provide the best service possible at WorkerAnts, but, unfortunately, we are only human and we have yet to learn how to control other people.  We do not take responsibility for the acts of others and are not liable for certain things. If you have any questions or concerns though, please feel free to contact us [link].
