These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of all websites, programs, services,

organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, with its principal office at 4821
Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19144.

These Terms apply to T.E.A.M. Inc. as the parent organization and to every program, initiative,

programs are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. EIN and state registration details are
available on request.

3. Scope: Parent Organization and Programs
These Terms function as the master agreement for T.E.A.M. Inc. Each program may publish
supplemental terms, waivers, codes of conduct, or rental agreements specific to its operations.

In the event of a conflict, the program-specific signed agreement controls for matters within its
scope; these Terms control for all other matters.

Programs covered include but are not limited to:

3.1 Men of Courage (MOC)

Youth mentoring for young men ages 12 to 18, including workshops, college preparation, trips,
and community service. Governed by these Terms and the MOC Parent and Mentee
Agreement.

meetings, and community programming. Governed by these Terms and the signed
Underground Rental Agreement.

Initiatives that prepare participants for trades, custodial work, entrepreneurship, and other
career pathways, including partnerships with employers and training providers. Governed by
these Terms and program-specific enrollment agreements.

3.4 Future Programs

Any program established under T.E.A.M. Inc. is automatically subject to these Terms unless a
written supplemental agreement provides otherwise.

4. Eligibility, Enrollment, and Parental Consent

Eligibility requirements vary by program. General rules:

• Program participants must meet the age, residency, and eligibility criteria stated for that
program.
• Participants under 18 require written consent from a parent or legal guardian for
enrollment, travel, photography, and medical authorization.

where required, and any waivers.

Violations may result in removal from the activity or program, termination of enrollment, ban

reported to law enforcement.

6. Risk Acknowledgment and Waiver
Programs and events involve travel, physical activity, public gatherings, and use of facilities and
equipment. Participation involves inherent risks, including but not limited to bodily injury,
property damage, illness, and exposure to communicable disease. By participating, you accept
these risks on behalf of yourself and any minor for whom you have legal responsibility.
Participation in specific activities may require signed liability waivers and medical authorizations.
These supplemental waivers are part of these Terms.

have all rights necessary to grant this license, and that the content does not infringe any third-
party rights.

14. Confidentiality and Participant Privacy
T.E.A.M. Inc. handles participant records, mentee files, medical information, and donor data
with care. Staff and volunteers are bound by confidentiality requirements. Participant data is
shared only as required for program operation, legal compliance, grant reporting (in aggregated,
de-identified form where possible), or with your written consent.

Use of our websites is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these
Terms by reference.

15. Third-Party Services

Our websites and operations rely on third-party services, including Stripe, Wix, Google
Workspace, HighLevel, DocuSign, and social media platforms. We do not control these services
and are not responsible for their content, security, or practices. Your use of third-party services
is governed by their own terms.

16. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

• Violate any law, regulation, or third-party right.
• Transmit malware, viruses, or harmful code.
• Impersonate any person, organization, or T.E.A.M. Inc. representative.
• Harass, threaten, defraud, or harm participants, staff, or the public.
• Interfere with the security or operation of our digital platforms.
• Collect personal information about other users or participants.
• Use T.E.A.M. Inc. resources for political campaign activity inconsistent with 501(c)(3)
rules.

17. Disclaimers

T.E.A.M. Inc. provides its websites, programs, and services on an "as is" and "as available"
basis. While we report strong outcomes (including a 100% high school graduation rate and 0%
incarceration rate among Men of Courage program completers), individual results depend on
many factors and are not guaranteed.

We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding program outcomes, employment
placement, scholarship awards, venue availability, or third-party services. We do not warrant
that our digital platforms will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure from unauthorized access.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, T.E.A.M. Inc., its directors, officers, staff, mentors,
volunteers, and affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or
punitive damages arising from your use of our websites, services, programs, properties, or
events.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid to
T.E.A.M. Inc. in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) $100. Some jurisdictions do not
allow these limits; in those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent allowed by law.

19. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless T.E.A.M. Inc., its board, staff, mentors,
volunteers, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, judgments, or expenses (including
reasonable attorney fees) arising from:

• Your violation of these Terms or program rules.
• Your use of our websites, services, programs, or properties.
• Content you submit, share, or post.
• Your violation of any law or third-party right.
• Damage you cause to T.E.A.M. Inc. property or the property of others at our events.

20. Background Checks and Child Protection

Because T.E.A.M. Inc. serves minors, all staff, mentors, volunteers, contractors, and frequent
partners working directly with youth must complete required background checks under
Pennsylvania law, including PA Child Abuse History Clearance, PA State Police Criminal
Record Check, and FBI Fingerprint Clearance where applicable. Failure to maintain valid
clearances disqualifies you from program roles involving youth.

21. Termination and Suspension

T.E.A.M. Inc. may suspend or terminate your access to websites, programs, services,
properties, or events at any time, with or without cause, including for violation of these Terms,
the Code of Conduct, applicable law, or for safety reasons. Termination does not entitle you to a
refund of donations, fees, or rentals except as expressly provided in a signed agreement.

22. Modifications

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted on our
websites with a revised effective date and, where practical, communicated to active program
participants and donors. Continued use of our services after changes means you accept the
updated Terms.

23. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard
to conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of our services
will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Philadelphia County,
Pennsylvania, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact T.E.A.M. Inc. at MOCInfo15@gmail.com to
attempt informal resolution in good faith for at least 30 days.

24. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full
effect. Unenforceable provisions will be interpreted to reflect the original intent as closely as
possible within the limits of the law.

25. No Waiver

Failure by T.E.A.M. Inc. to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive our right to
enforce that provision later.

26. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written
consent. T.E.A.M. Inc. may assign these Terms to a successor organization or affiliate.

27. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any signed program enrollment, rental,
volunteer, partnership, or release agreements, form the entire agreement between you and
T.E.A.M. Inc. regarding your use of our websites, programs, services, properties, and
communications.
