Terms of Use

The agreement

This website belongs to ACT-SO Lafayette, a program of the NAACP Lafayette Branch (“we,” “us”). It is built and maintained on the program’s behalf by Collective Reach LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company doing business as Creative Reach, Lafayette, Louisiana. ACT-SO and NAACP are marks of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This site is run locally and is not the NAACP’s national website.

By using actsolafayette.org you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. Anyone who makes a purchase or submits a form through this site must be 18 or older, or a minor acting with a parent or guardian’s permission.

What you may do

You may read, link to, and share pages from this site. You may not copy, republish, scrape, or sell its content, photographs, or marks without written permission; use the site to send spam or false submissions; interfere with its operation; or use it for anything unlawful. Requests for permission go to josiah@actsolafayette.org.

Ownership

Text and design on this site are owned by or licensed to Collective Reach LLC and the NAACP Lafayette Branch. The ACT-SO name and logo belong to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and are used under the branch’s program authority.

Sign-ups

The student form expresses interest; it is not official ACT-SO registration, which follows NAACP national rules. Submitting the volunteer form is an offer to serve, not an appointment. Judges and mentors are seated only after the program confirms their credentials, and we may follow up to verify what you tell us. You agree that what you submit is accurate and yours to give.

Payments and refunds

This site sells nothing and takes no payments. Any engagement, sponsorship, or purchase agreed with us is governed by its own written agreement or invoice, which will state its own refund terms. If we ever take a payment through this site by mistake or in duplicate, email us and it will be refunded in full.

Third-party links and services

The site links to other websites and services (for example, Instagram, Calltime, and partner organizations). We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or their handling of your data. Their terms and privacy policies apply when you use them.

No warranty; limits on liability

We work to keep this site accurate and available, but it is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. Dates, venues, and programs can change; check with us before relying on them. To the fullest extent the law allows, ACT-SO Lafayette and its members, officers, volunteers, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, and total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid through the site in the twelve months before the claim, or $100, whichever is greater. Some states do not allow these limits, in which case they apply only as far as the law permits.

Louisiana law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be settled by talking to us first will be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing here limits consumer-protection rights you have under the law of the state where you live.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top will change when we do, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept it. Questions: josiah@actsolafayette.org, (337) 366-0397.
