Please read this document carefully before accessing or using this service! ## 1. Introduction ### 1.1 English, Not Legalese Most Terms of Use and Privacy Policy documents are unreadable. They are written by lawyers and for lawyers, and in our opinion are not very effective. We decided to use plain English as much as possible, to make our terms as clear as possible. Some sections still have room for improvement - we plan to tackle these over time. When you read 'the hackliberty.org homeserver' or 'the Service' below, it refers to the services made available at **hackliberty.org** which store your account and personal conversation history, provide services such as bots and bridges, and communicate via the open Matrix decentralised communication protocol with the public Matrix Network. Where you read *Hack Liberty*, or *we *or* us* below, it refers to the Hack Liberty organization we created in June 2022 to run the hackliberty.org homeserver. **This agreement does not apply to Matrix servers run by anyone else - Matrix is an open network like the Web and this agreement only applies to the server (hackliberty.org) provided by Hack Liberty** If this agreement is not acceptable, please use a Matrix server provided by someone else! Contact Information: Email: [contact@hackliberty.org](mailto:contact@hackliberty.org) Should you have other questions or concerns about this document, please send us an email at [contact@hackliberty.org](mailto:contact@hackliberty.org). ### 1.2 Using The Service Means Accepting These Terms By accessing or using the Service in any way, whether you have created a Matrix account on the hackliberty.org homeserver, or whether you are accessing content federated from the hackliberty.org homeserver to another Matrix homeserver, or are just browsing rooms as an unauthenticated guest, you agree to and are bound by the terms and conditions written in this document. If you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions contained in this document, please use a Matrix server provided by someone else and refrain from accessing content federated from this server. ### 1.3 This Is a Living Document This is a living document. With your help, we want to make it the best in the industry. If you read something that rubs you the wrong way, or if you think of something that should be added, please get in touch! We're all ears! Email contact@hackliberty.org and we'll chat. We don't amend this document for any specific users or use case, but if your proposed changes apply to all of our users, we'll be happy to update it for everyone. Scroll to the bottom to see the history so far. We will likely improve this document over time. By continuing to use the Service, you will implicitly accept the changes we make. Your access and use of the Service is always subject to the most current version of this document. ### 1.4 Breach of Terms If you breach any of the terms and conditions in this document, your authorization to access or use the Service automatically terminates. We may block, restrict, disable, suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service at any time in our sole discretion, without prior notice or liability to you. If you think we removed your access by mistake, send an email to [contact@hackliberty.org](mailto:contact@hackliberty.org) and we'll give you our reasoning. ## 2. Support Support for the hackliberty.org homeserver is provided on a best effort basis by Hack Liberty - however, support is often available from the wider Matrix Community in the public Matrix Support rooms. Queries sent to [contact@hackliberty.org](mailto:contact@hackliberty.org) will be addressed on a best-effort basis by the unpaid team. Phone support is not provided. We love Matrix and will support our users as much as we can, but we are also a very small team and value our work/life balance. This means that although we'll try our best, we do not provide 24/7 support. ## 3. Intellectual Property Rights *Note on Plain English: We know that the language in this section still reads like legalese - this will be improved in later revisions of this document.* ### 3.1 Who Owns the IP of My Messages and Files? We do not claim intellectual property rights over rooms, message content or files uploaded to the Service. You acknowledge and agree that we have no liability of any kind should anyone you granted access to your messages or files modify, destroy, corrupt, copy or distribute them, or violate the terms of use or other limitations that you may impose on the use of your shared content. We may pre-screen user messages or files to prevent spam and other abuse, and we may remove any messages or files (including entire rooms) from the hackliberty.org homeserver for any reason without notice at our sole discretion. By posting or uploading your messages or files, you represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the intellectual property rights and other rights to your user materials as described in these Terms of Use, including all the rights necessary for you to post or upload said messages or files. You are solely and entirely responsible for all of your messages and files that you post or otherwise submit via the Service. You shall assume all risks associated with the use of said content including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness or usefulness. Hack Liberty does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of your messages or files. You acknowledge and agree that by accessing or using the Service, you may be exposed to user materials from others that are offensive, indecent or otherwise objectionable. ## 4. Reliability ### 4.1 Do You Guarantee That The Service Will Be Accessible at All Times? In short, we do not. Like all other cloud-based applications, we are vulnerable to the inherent unreliability of the Internet. We do not offer contracted SLA for availability of the Service and your data. We monitor the Service closely and have set up automated alarms to be notified (via email, push notifications and phone calls) when the hackliberty.org homeserver is under stress, so that we can deal with the issue before it becomes a problem that might impact customer access. You acknowledge and agree that Hack Liberty, shall not be liable for any failure to store your materials on the hackliberty.org homeserver at any time. ## 5. App Developers We encourage you to write software that uses the Matrix Protocol and interfaces with the Service! The Matrix Protocol and our implementation will change over time, and we may change or deprecate APIs or behaviour for any feature of the Service from time to time - it is your responsibility to ensure that calls or requests you make to or via our Service are compatible with then-current APIs for the Service. We will always try to inform you of any changes with reasonable notice so you can adjust your Application, but we are under no obligation to do so. Provided that you comply with the terms of this Agreement and our policies and procedures, you may use the Service to execute Applications owned by you. You are solely responsible for your Applications, including any data, text, images or content they contain. ## 6. Play Nice Clauses *Note on Plain English: We know that the language in this section still reads like legalese - this will be improved in later revisions of this document.* ### 6.1 Use of The Service You agree that you shall not: * Use or attempt to gain unauthorised access to or use another's account, password, data, or computer systems or networks connected to the hackliberty.org homeserver, whether through malicious attacks, password mining or any other means. * Access or attempt to access any material that you are not authorized to access. * Disrupt or interfere with the security of, or otherwise cause harm to, the hackliberty.org homeserver, systems resources, accounts, passwords, servers or networks connected to or accessible through the Service or any affiliated or linked sites. * Use the Service to transmit unsolicited or bulk communications to anyone at all, be they users of the Service, federated Matrix homeservers, or connected on a bridged network. * Post or otherwise submit any software, programs or files in a manner that is intended to cause harm or disruption of another's equipment, software or other property, including any corrupted files, time bombs, Trojan horses, viruses and worms. * Disrupt, interfere or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Service. * Access or use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden or impair any server we run or the network(s) connected to the Service. * Violate any applicable laws or regulations related to the access to or use of the Service, or engage in any activity prohibited by the Terms of Use. * Use the Service for any unlawful purposes or in support of illegal activities under Icelandic law.

It is your sole obligation and responsibility to check such restrictions and limitations before using the Service and to comply with them. We reserve the right to suspend the Service immediately and without notice if we determine, in our sole judgment, that the Service is being used in violation of local regulations governing the use of cryptographic technologies (even though we have no responsibility to make such determination). ## 9. Links to Third Party Sites The Service may include links that will take you to other sites outside of the Service. The linked sites are provided as a convenience and the inclusion of the links do not imply any endorsement by us of any linked site.

You further acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any form of transmission (e.g. webcasting) received from any linked site. ## 10.

Hack Liberty assumes no liability for any computer virus or other similar software code that is downloaded to your computer from the site or in connection with any services or materials.

To the extent permissible, any implied warranties are limited to ninety days. ## 11. Indemnity and Liability *Note on Plain English: We know that the language in this section still reads like legalese - this will be improved in later revisions of this document.* You agree to indemnify and hold Hack Liberty and its officers, co-branders, other partners and employees harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of: 1. your user materials and any other content (e.g. computer viruses) that you may submit, post to or transmit through the Service, including a third party's use of such user materials or content (e.g. reliance on the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of your user materials); 2. your access to or use of the Service (including any use by your employees, contractors or agents and all uses of your usernames and passwords, whether or not actually or expressly authorized by you, in connection with the Service); 3. your connection to the Service; 4. your violation of the Terms of Use; 5. your infringement of any third party's intellectual property rights when using any of the software made available on the Service; 6. your violation of any rights of any third party; 7. your access to or use of linked sites and your connections thereto; or 8. any dealings between you and any third parties advertising or promoting via the Service. ## 12.

Unless contrary to the law where you reside, all disputes relating to this Agreement are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Iceland and you expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction in the courts of Iceland in connection with any such dispute.

All rights not expressly granted under this Agreement are retained by Hack Liberty. You may also be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use other Hack Liberty services, third party content or third party software. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Terms of Use, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties as reflected by that provision, and the remainder of the Terms of Use shall continue in full force and effect. Any failure by Hack Liberty to enforce or exercise any provision of the Terms of Use or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. The section titles used in the Terms of Use are purely for convenience and carry with them no legal or contractual effect. ## 16. Document History * 2022, June 1: Document created --- **A note to other startups:** this document was heavily inspired by [Balsamiq's plain English ToS document](https://docs.balsamiq.com/mybalsamiq/tos/). We were impressed by their championing of plain English, and wanted to reproduce that as much as possible in our own legal documentation. Feel free to draw similar inspiration from this document, though be sure to get any documents you produce checked over by a lawyer. Good luck! --- This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participants within the Hack Liberty community, as well as steps for reporting unacceptable behaviour. We are committed to providing a welcoming and inspiring community for all, and expect our code of conduct to be honoured. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be banned from the community. This applies to conversation in the any room in the Hack Liberty matrix community ([#hackliberty.org:hackliberty.org](https://matrix.to/#/#hackliberty.org:hackliberty.org)) and commits and comments relating to any project in the [hackliberty.org](https://git.hackliberty.org) gitea space. ## **Community Rules** - **Don’t do to others what you don’t want done to you** - **INSTANT BAN** for revealing personal information about yourself or others - **INSTANT BAN** for incitement of violence or self harm - **INSTANT BAN** for porn, gore, lewd, violent, or NSFW content - **INSTANT BAN** for unsoliciated advertising or spam - **INSTANT BAN** for posting URLs to shock sites, information grabbers, or malware - **INSTANT BAN** for any harassment as defined below - **INSTANT BAN** for global @room pings or gratuitous direct pinging - **WARNING** OR **BAN** for disruptive behavior such as; spam, flooding the chat, offtopic discussions, or unnecessary drama - **WARNING** and **DELETE** for any URLs containing link shorteners - **WARNING** or **BAN** for trolling, bullying or stalking ## **Community Guidelines** - **Stay on topic in rooms** - **Be friendly and patient** - **Treat each other with dignity and respect** - **Agree to disagree if a discussion is no longer productive** - **Foster an environment of information sharing and collaboration** ## Definitions Harassment includes, but is not limited to: - Incitement of violence, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm - Threats of violence, both physical and psychological - Offensive comments related to sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, race or religious affiliation - Deliberate intimidation - Stalking or following - Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes - Sustained disruption of discussion - Unwelcome sexual attention, including gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour - Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease - Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent except as necessary to protect others from intentional abuse - Publication of non-harassing private communication ## **Moderation** - Chat room moderators volunteer their time to help keep the room running smoothly and are responsible for managing often complex situations - Moderators are given exclusive privileges to help maximise the effectiveness of the room - If you are asked to modify your behaviour or given some other form of instruction but fail to comply, you are likely to be removed from the chat room for a discretionary period of time depending on the severity of the matter - When being corrected by a moderator, please do not argue with them in main chat. You should request a PM session to help avoid conflict and keep the involvement of others to a minimum - Attacking moderators in the chat room will likely result in a ban. Any genuine visitor should respect their decisions - they have nothing to gain from issuing bans / mutes and are doing so to the best of their ability, on behalf of the community - Moderators may choose to request users to leave if they're deemed to be a risk to the safety of the general users / guests within the chatroom. Not adhering to the request will result in manual removal - An appeal can be requested but is to the discretion of the moderator who issued that ban / mute - however, this is not a given right. To make an appeal, please PM the respective moderator - You are welcome to return to the chat room once your ban period expires, but please be mindful of the reason(s) you got banned, abide by the rules and take into account any moderator feedback received. - If a ban is evaded within the designated period (for any reason), please note that our moderators may extend the ban beyond the original lapse date. ### Reporting Issues If you experience or witness unacceptable behaviour — or have any other concerns — please report in Matrix or by contacting us via abuse@hackliberty.org. All reports will be handled with discretion. In your report please include: - Your contact information. - Names (usernames and/or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved. If there are additional witnesses, please include them as well. Your account of what occurred, and if you believe the incident is ongoing. - The date and time of the incident (or start of incident). - Any additional information that may be helpful. After filing a report, a representative will contact you personally, review the incident, follow up with any additional questions, and make a decision as to how to respond. If the person who is harassing you is part of the response team, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. ### Attribution & Acknowledgements This Code of Conduct is based on the [TODO Group](https://twitter.com/todogroup)'s [Open Code of Conduct template](https://github.com/todogroup/opencodeofconduct), but with some modifications.
