Welcome to www.curiositycorp.org (the "Site"), operated by Curiosity Research Corporation ("Curiosity Research Corporation," "we," "us," or "the Organization"), an organization whose 501(c)(3) tax-exempt application is pending IRS determination (EIN 33-3478603). These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Site and the programs, resources, and services we make available through it. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Acceptance of Terms
By visiting, browsing, registering for a program, or otherwise using any part of the Site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.
Use of the Site
You may use the Site for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes related to learning about, participating in, or supporting our programs. You agree not to use the Site in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it, or interfere with any other party's use of the Site, including any automated use that places an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
Intellectual Property
All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, program names, curricula, frameworks, and software — is the property of Curiosity Research Corporation or its licensors and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may view, download, and print material from the Site for your own personal, non-commercial reference. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any Site content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.
Donations & Payments
The Site enables you to make donations and other payments in support of our mission. Curiosity Research Corporation's 501(c)(3) application is pending IRS determination; contributions are not yet tax-deductible and, if exemption is granted, may be deductible retroactively to the extent allowed by law. No goods or services are provided in exchange for a donation unless explicitly stated at the time of your contribution. Payments are processed by a secure, third-party payment provider; we do not store your full card number on our own servers. See our Payment Terms and Refund Policy for additional detail on how donations and payments are handled.
User Conduct
When using the Site, you agree not to: violate any applicable law or regulation; impersonate any person or entity; upload or transmit any material that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, or infringing; attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Site or its related systems; or interfere with the security or proper functioning of the Site. We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access for any user who violates these Terms.
Third-Party Links
The Site may include links to third-party websites, including partner organizations and program-specific domains. These links are provided for your convenience. Curiosity Research Corporation does not control and is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any linked third-party site. Your use of any linked website is solely at your own risk.
Disclaimers
The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Curiosity Research Corporation shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Curiosity Research Corporation, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or damage, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your use of the Site or your violation of these Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia, USA — where Curiosity Research Corporation is headquartered and registered — without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in West Virginia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Cookies & Tracking
The Site carries no advertising and does not use a cookie-consent banner. The cookies it sets are limited to what a feature needs — for example, the session cookie Stripe's checkout uses to complete a donation, reCAPTCHA's abuse-prevention cookie on a form you are actively submitting, or a cookie YouTube sets only after you click to play an embedded video. See our Privacy Policy for the full list of what we collect and why.
Changes to Terms
We may amend these Terms from time to time; please review them periodically. Your continued use of the Site after any such changes are posted constitutes your agreement to the revised Terms.
