Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 4, 2026

Welcome to the Sustainability and Life Sciences Network (SLSN). By accessing our website, becoming a member, or participating in our missions and projects, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully.

1. Community Guidelines

As a youth-led initiative focused on environmental development and life sciences, we expect all members and visitors to:

  • Respect fellow members, advisors, and the communities we serve.
  • Act with integrity during volunteering missions, research projects, and public representations of SLSN.
  • Avoid any behavior that disrupts our operations or contradicts our mission of "Protecting Nature."

2. Membership, Fees & Termination

Membership Fees: All membership fees paid to SLSN are final and non-refundable. By registering and paying the fee, you acknowledge that no refunds will be issued under any circumstances, including voluntary withdrawal or termination of membership.

Account Responsibility: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

Termination & Bans: SLSN reserves the absolute right to suspend, terminate, or ban any member who violates these Terms, engages in violence, harassment, or any behavior that harms the organization's reputation or community safety. Such termination may be immediate and without prior notice.

3. Confidentiality & Internal Information

As a member, you may have access to internal documents, research data, strategic plans, and other proprietary information belonging to SLSN ("Internal Information").

Strict Non-Disclosure: You strictly agree NOT to share, publish, distribute, or disclose any Internal Information to any third party or public platform without explicit written authorization from SLSN leadership. Violation of this clause will result in immediate termination of membership and potential legal action.

4. Intellectual Property

The content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, mission reports, and research findings, is the property of SLSN or its content creators and is protected by copyright and intellectual property laws.

You may share our public content to spread awareness, provided you credit SLSN. However, you may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our proprietary research or internal documents without explicit permission.

5. Limitation of Liability

SLSN and its advisors are not liable for any damages that may occur to you as a result of your misuse of our website. While we strive to ensure safety during our field missions, participation is voluntary and at your own own risk, subject to our specific mission safety protocols.

6. Changes to Terms

SLSN reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify members of significant changes through our standard communication channels. Your continued use of the website or participation in SLSN activities after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
