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).
If you have any questions about our Terms, feel free to contact us info@coopofeverything.com.au.

Term
When you sign up for the Service and agree to these Terms, the Agreement between you and Coop of Everything is formed, and the term of the Agreement (the “Term”) will begin. The Term will continue for as long as you have a Coop of Everything account or until you or we terminate the Agreement in accordance with these Terms, whichever happens first.
After signing up on our website and creating your User Name you will be directed to build your Profile once Logged in. This means that you have officially “signed” and accepted the Terms.

Closing Your Account
You or Coop of Everything may terminate the Agreement at any time and for any reason by terminating your Coop of Everything account or giving notice to the other party. We may suspend the Service to you at any time, with or without cause. If your account is inactive for 12 or more months, we may terminate the account. Once your account is terminated, you acknowledge and agree that we may permanently delete your account and all the data associated with it, including your Profile.
Changes
We may change any of the Terms by posting revised Terms of Use on our Website and/or by notifying you of the new Terms by sending an email to the last email address you gave us or displaying prominent notice within the Service. Unless you terminate your account within 10 days, the new Terms will be effective immediately and apply to any continued or new use of the Service.
We may change the Website, the Service, Add-ons, or any features of the Service at any time, and we may discontinue the Website, the Service, Add-ons, or any features of the Service at any time.
Account and Password
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. We do not have access to your current password, and for security reasons, we may only provide you with instructions on how to reset your password.
We have the right to update any of your contact information in your account for accuracy purposes. In addition, you represent and warrant that all information you provide to us when you establish an account, and when you access and use the Service, is and will remain complete and accurate.
Account Disputes We don’t know the inner workings of your organization or the nature of your personal relationships. You won’t request access to or information about an account that’s not yours, and you’ll resolve any account-related disputes directly with the other party. 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.

Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume full responsibility for any loss that results from your use of the Website and the Service, including any downloads from the Website.

This includes, but isn’t limited to, warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, which are to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Agreement. Since Members use the Service for a variety of reasons, we can’t guarantee that it’ll meet your specific needs.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us and our Team harmless from any losses, including legal fees and expenses that directly or indirectly result from any claims you make that aren’t allowed under these Terms due to a “Limitation of Liability” or other provision.

Proprietary Rights Owned by Us, Proprietary Rights Owned by You, Compliance with Laws, Limitation of Liability, No Warranties, Indemnity, Choice of Law, Severability, and Entire Agreement.
Severability
If it turns out that a section of these Terms isn’t enforceable, then that section will be removed or edited as little as required, and the rest of the Agreement will still be valid.
Amendments and Waiver
Amendments or changes to the Agreement won’t be effective until we post revised Terms on the Website. If we don’t immediately take action on a violation of these Terms, we’re not giving up any rights under the Terms, and we may still take action at some point.
No Changes in Terms at Request of Member Because we have so many Members, we can’t change these Terms for any one Member or group.
Further Actions
You’ll provide all documents and take any actions necessary to meet your obligations under these Terms.
Notification of Security Breach
In the event of a security breach that may affect you or anyone on our email list, we’ll notify you of the breach once we have determined, in our discretion, that it occurred and will provide a description of what happened. If we determine, and notify you, that you need to forward all or part of that information to anyone on your Lists, you’ll promptly do so.
