By accessing or using The Ones Still Here (theonesstillhere.com), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use this site.

1. Purpose of This Space

This is a platform for truth-telling and mutual witness. It is not a forum for debate, recruitment, harassment, or harm. Respect for human dignity is non-negotiable.

2. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Submit false, defamatory, or malicious content
• Share stories that identify or endanger minors without documented consent
• Use the site to promote hate, discrimination, or coercive ideologies
• Impersonate others or misrepresent your identity
• Attempt to disrupt site functionality or access protected data

We reserve the right to remove content or block access if these boundaries are crossed.

3. Story Submissions

• Submissions are voluntary and reviewed before publication.
• You retain copyright to your story. By submitting, you grant The Ones Still Here a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to publish, edit (with your approval), and archive it.
• You may request removal at any time. We will honor this, though we cannot guarantee deletion from third-party platforms (e.g., podcast directories) once distributed.

4. Intellectual Property

All original content — writing, audio, design, branding — is owned by The Ones Still Here or used with permission. You may share links or brief excerpts with credit. You may not republish full episodes, stories, or site design without written consent.

5. No Endorsement

Mention of organizations, beliefs, or events does not constitute endorsement. Critique of harmful systems is not an attack on individuals — it is an act of care.

6. Limitation of Liability

The site is provided “as is.” We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free content, or outcomes from engaging with the material. To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Ones Still Here and its owner shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site.

7. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [Your State — e.g., California]. Any disputes will be resolved in good faith, preferably through direct communication.

8. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. The “Last updated” date will reflect changes. Continued use implies acceptance.
