Please read these Terms carefully. By using Coop of Everything or signing up for an account, you’re agreeing to these Terms, which will result in an agreement between you and Coop of Everything (“Agreement”).
We’ll start with the basics, including a few definitions that should help you understand these Terms. Coop of Everything (“Coop of Everything,” “we,” or “us”) is an online Membership Program (the “Service”) offered through the URL https://coopofeverything.com.au/ (we’ll refer to it as the “Website”) that allows you to, among other things, create, send, and manage your Profile, including, without limitation, messages, forum posts and notices.
Coop of Everything has volunteers (“our Team”). As a customer of the Service or a representative of an entity that’s a customer of the Service, you’re a “Member” according to this Agreement (or “you”). These Terms of Use define the terms and conditions under which you’re allowed to use the Service in accordance with the Agreement, and how we’ll treat your account while you’re a Member. If you don’t agree to these Terms, you must immediately discontinue your use of the Service.
Coop of Everything may use Google Maps to provide certain features of the Service, and, as a result, we are contractually obligated to make our Members aware of certain terms related to the use of such features. Therefore, you acknowledge and agree that by signing up for an account and using the Service, you are also bound by the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service (including the Google Privacy Policy).

You are responsible for keeping your account name and password confidential. You are also responsible for any account that you have access to and any activity occurring in such account (other than activity that Coop of Everything is directly responsible for that isn’t performed in accordance with your instructions), whether or not you authorized that activity.
You’ll immediately notify us of any unauthorized access or use of your accounts. We are not responsible for any losses due to stolen or hacked passwords that are caused by or result from your negligence.

Account Disputes We don’t know the inner workings of your organization or the nature of your personal relationships.

We decide who owns an account based on the content in that account, and if multiple people or entities are identified in the content, then we’ll rely on the contact and profile information listed for that account.
In cases where differing contact and profile information is present, we’ll require you to resolve the matter through proper channels outside of Coop of Everything. When a dispute is identified, we may suspend any account associated with the dispute, including disabling login and sending capabilities, to protect the security and privacy of the data held within the account.
