This license continues for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

This provision does not mean that Thank You Network automatically owns your original content. Ownership remains with the applicable rights holder unless you separately agree otherwise.

Additional terms may apply to content submitted specifically for promotional campaigns, merchandise, contests, charitable programs, or other projects.

Your use of the Services does not transfer ownership of any intellectual-property rights to you.

The Services may incorporate or link to third-party websites, payment processors, social-media platforms, applications, advertising services, hosting providers, or other third-party services.

Those services are controlled by their respective providers.

Thank You Network does not guarantee the availability, accuracy, security, or performance of third-party services and is not responsible for their independent acts, omissions, policies, or practices.

Your use of third-party services may be subject to additional terms imposed by those providers.

  • Always be available
  • Operate without interruption

  • Remain unchanged
  • Be compatible with every device or browser

We may temporarily suspend, modify, restrict, or discontinue portions of the Services for maintenance, security, technical, operational, legal, or other reasons.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT, FEATURES, PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THANK YOU NETWORK DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND AVAILABILITY.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, OR BE FREE FROM ERRORS, DEFECTS, OR SECURITY VULNERABILITIES.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THANK YOU NETWORK AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, VOLUNTEERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND REPRESENTATIVES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THANK YOU NETWORK’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF:

  1. THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO THANK YOU NETWORK FOR THE PARTICULAR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR
  2. $100.00.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Thank You Network and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, volunteers, service providers, and representatives from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or related to:

  • Your violation of these Terms;
  • Your misuse of the Services;
  • Your User Content;
  • Your violation of another person’s rights; or
  • Your violation of applicable law.

This provision does not require you to indemnify Thank You Network for liability caused by Thank You Network’s own conduct where such indemnification is prohibited by law.

We may suspend or terminate your access to some or all of the Services if we reasonably believe that:

  • You violated these Terms;
  • You engaged in fraudulent or unlawful conduct;
  • Your activity creates a security or safety risk;
  • Your activity harms another user or the Network;
  • Continued access could expose Thank You Network to legal or operational risk; or
  • Termination is otherwise permitted by applicable law.

We may also discontinue portions of the Services at any time.

Termination does not eliminate obligations that, by their nature, should survive termination, including provisions concerning intellectual property, User Content, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law.

If you believe content or conduct violates these Terms, please contact us through our reporting or Contact Us process.

We may investigate reports but do not guarantee a particular outcome or action.

Please do not use the reporting process to submit knowingly false or malicious reports.

We may revise these Terms periodically.

When we make material changes, we may update the Effective Date and provide additional notice where required by applicable law.

Your continued use of the Services after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent that applicable law requires otherwise.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional policies or terms expressly incorporated into these Terms, constitute the agreement between you and Thank You Network concerning your use of the Services, except where a separate written agreement applies.
