Last updated: 22 April 2025
1. Agreement to Terms
By creating an account, accessing or using The Tribes Platform (the “Service”) you (“User”, “you”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Service Description
The Service enables Users to publish profiles, share content and connect around regenerative‑neighborhood topics. We may add or remove features at any time.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country) and capable of forming a binding contract to use the Service.
4. Accounts & Security
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your login credentials. Notify us immediately of unauthorised use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Message support@tribesplatform.app
5. User Content
5.1 Definition
“User Content” means any text, photos, links, data or other material you submit or display on the Service, including profile bios.
5.2 Your Responsibility
You must have the necessary rights to post User Content and it must not:
- infringe another’s copyright, trademark or privacy;
- contain unlawful, hateful or harassing material;
- include personal data of minors;
- violate any applicable law.
5.3 Licence to Us
You grant The Tribes Platform (“Tribes Platform”, “we”, “our”) a world‑wide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free, transferable, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform and display your User Content for the following purposes:
- Operating & providing the Service;
- Analytics & AI processing (see § 6);
- Educational and research outputs, including aggregated dashboards, white‑papers and case studies;
- Marketing the Service (we will request additional permission before featuring identifiable quotes or images).
This licence ends when you delete the content from the Service, except that (a) cached or backup copies may persist for a reasonable period and (b) derivative, de‑identified or aggregated data already created under this licence may be retained and used indefinitely.
6. Analytics, AI & Educational Use
- We may transmit User Content to vetted analytics and large‑language‑model (“LLM”) providers acting as our processors.
- Processors must follow our written instructions, keep data confidential, and must not train public models on your data.
- Before disclosing analytics externally, we aggregate or anonymise the data so individuals cannot reasonably be identified.
- You may opt out of future inclusion via Account → Privacy Settings; see our Privacy Policy, incorporated here by reference.
7. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- use the Service for unlawful or fraudulent purposes;
- reverse‑engineer or interfere with the Service’s security;
- harvest or scrape data without our consent;
- upload viruses or malicious code;
- use the Service to train competing AI models.
8. Intellectual‑Property Ownership
Except for User Content, all software, graphics, trademarks and other content on the Service are owned by The Tribes Platform or its licensors and are protected by intellectual‑property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non‑transferable licence to access and use the Service for its intended purpose.
9. Third‑Party Links & Integrations
The Service may contain links to third‑party sites or integrate third‑party APIs. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for third‑party content or practices.
10. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access without notice if you breach these Terms. You may delete your account at any time. Sections 5‑13 survive termination.
11. Disclaimers
- No Professional Advice. Information on the Service is for educational purposes only and is not legal, financial or health advice.
- “As Is” Service. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error‑free.
- AI Outputs. Automated summaries or recommendations may contain inaccuracies. Use critical judgement before relying on them.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tribes and its officers, directors, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or data, arising out of or in connection with the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability shall not exceed AUD 100.
(Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in such cases the limitation will apply to the fullest extent permitted.)
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Tribes Platform from any claim or demand (including legal fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms.
14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States of America without regard to its conflict‑of‑laws principles. Any dispute shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Miami, Florida. We may seek injunctive relief in any jurisdiction.
15. Changes to Terms
We may revise these Terms by posting an updated version and providing at least 14 days’ notice via email or in‑app banner. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

- Severability. If any provision is held invalid, the remainder will remain in effect.
- No Waiver. Failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of such right or provision.
