The Website may contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by Freedom Action.

Freedom Action gives you permission to use the Website on the following terms.

1. Yes, you may copy and distribute any part of the Website that is copyrighted to Freedom Action in any medium according to the terms of the Creative Commons by-nc license. You don't need permission, you already have it. 2. You will not alter or modify any part of the Website other than by uploading materials as invited by the website. In order to access some features of the Website, like Freedom Action.net, you may have to create an account. You may never use another's account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account. You – and you alone – must keep your account password secure.

Notify Freedom Action immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. You hereby hold Freedom Action harmless for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account. But you may be liable for the losses of Freedom Action or others due to such unauthorized use.

You agree that you will not use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," "offline readers," etc., that accesses the Website in a manner that sends more request messages to the Freedom Action servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser. Freedom Action grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the site for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials except so as to facilitate searching. Freedom Action reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases.

You agree not to collect or harvest any personal information, including account names, from the Website, nor to use the communication systems provided by the Website for any commercial solicitation purposes without Freedom Action's advance permission. You agree not to solicit, for commercial purposes, any users of the Website with respect to their User Submissions.

The content on the Freedom Action Website, except all User Submissions (as defined below), including without limitation, the text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, interactive features and the like ("Content") and the trademarks, service marks and logos contained therein ("Marks"), are owned by, licensed to, or granted to Freedom Action. These ("these") are subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights under domestic and foreign laws and international conventions.
 Content on the Website is provided to you AS IS for your information and personal use. You may use, copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, any of the content that we actually own for any noncommercial purposes without prior written consent—provided you give us credit. You may use, copy, and distribute any of the Content copyrighted by Freedom Action , NOT including any use, copying, or distribution of User Submissions of third parties obtained through the Website. You are licensed under the Creative Commons attribution noncommercial (by-nc) license with no further fee or permission. Go here to read the specific terms of the by-nc license.

You agree not to circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Freedom Action Website or features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any Content or enforce limitations on use of the Freedom Action Website or the Content therein.

Freedom Action reserves all rights not expressly granted in and to the Website and the 

User Submissions

      * The Freedom Action Website permits the submission of videos or other communications ("User Submissions") and the hosting, sharing, and/or publishing of such User Submissions. You understand that whether or not such User Submissions are published, Freedom Action does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any submissions.


You shall be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. In connection with User Submissions, you warrant that: (i) you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize Freedom Action to use all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all User Submissions to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Website and these Terms of Service; and (ii) you have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable person in the User Submission to use the name or likeness of each and every such identifiable person to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Website and these Terms of Service.

 For "clarity" and not by way of limitation, except as set forth herein you retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submissions. But by submitting them you hereby grant The Websters' Dictionary a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the Freedom Action and Freedom Action’s (and its successor's) rights. This includes promoting and redistributing part or all of the Freedom Action Website (and derivative works) in any media formats and through any media channels.

 And, you agree that so long as you post anything here and leave it up, you are doing so under Creative Commons by-nc license, meaning you will other people copy and distribute it without charge or further permission as long as they abide by the terms of the by-nc license. (Go to creativecommons.org to look it up.) To the extent that you have a copyright in it, this doesn't change that and when you take down a posting the Creative Commons license you granted lapses so far as Freedom Action is concerned, insofar as the law permits, we guess. But if you care deeply about this, or think you ought to, check with your lawyer first, we're not guaranteeing anything here. But seriously. Who do you think you are? Hemingway?

 You also hereby grant each user of the Freedom Action Website a non-exclusive license to access your User Submissions through the Website, and to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform such User Submissions as permitted through the functionality of the Website and under these Terms of Service.
