Welcome to Idyll Arbor and our associated websites.

Thanks for using our websites, products, and services (“Services”). The Services are provided by Idyll Arbor Incorporated, 39129 264th Ave SE, Enumclaw, WA 98022, United States.

We provide a wide variety of experiences on our associated websites, tailored to the individual imprint, book, organization, or application on that website. Additional terms may apply on some websites. If so, they will be posted as Additional Terms of Service. The additional terms become part of your agreement with us if you use a website with additional terms.

By using our Services, you are agreeing to these terms. Please read them carefully.

Idyll Arbor works to improve healthy connections between individuals and groups. By using our Services, you agree to the following overriding rules and regulations:

Using our Services

Non-Idyll-Arbor content is the sole responsibility of the entity that makes it available. Many other websites have long lists of content you may not post. For Idyll Arbor Services you agree that the content you post will be intended to benefit other users of the Services. We may review and remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. You agree that we have the sole right to decide what content will be displayed on our Services.

You may not use any branding or logos used in our Services without our express written permission. Don’t remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.

If you do not comply with our terms or policies or if we are investigating suspected misconduct, we may suspend or stop providing our Services to you.

Your Idyll Arbor Account

You may need an account in order to use some of our Services. To reduce spam, you are required to create an account with a verifiable email address before posting comments. Instructions for creating accounts are available on each website. Some of the Services require more information, as required to safeguard and enhance the experience of other users.

You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service and related third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service.

In consideration of your use of the Services, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services’ registration forms and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Idyll Arbor has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Idyll Arbor has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services.

You will create a password and member name during the Service’s registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. If you learn of any unauthorized use of your password or account, follow the steps for a forgotten password and a temporary password will be sent to the email you used to create the account. If these steps do not work, you agree to immediately notify Idyll Arbor of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security.

You will exit from your account at the end of each session. Idyll Arbor cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section.

However, changes addressing new functions for a Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified terms for a Service, you should discontinue your use of that Service.

If there is a conflict between these terms and the additional terms, the additional terms will control for that conflict.

These terms control the relationship between Idyll Arbor and you. They do not create any third party beneficiary rights.

If you do not comply with these terms, and we don’t take action right away, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).

If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, this will not affect any other terms.

The laws of Washington, USA, will apply to any disputes arising out of or relating to these terms or the Services.
