Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the Strong, Prosperous,
And Resilient Communities Challenge, an initiative of Enterprise Community
Partners, LIIF, and the Natural Resources Defense Council (“SPARCC,” and
together with LIIF, “we,” or “us”) and our websites at www.sparcchub.org,
www.community.sparcchub.org, and our related websites, networks, applications,
and other services provided by us (collectively, our “Service”). These
Terms of Use are a legally binding contract between you and LIIF regarding your
use of the Service.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY.
BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” OR BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE,
YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF
THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS,
INCLUDING THE LIIF PRIVACY POLICY (TOGETHER, THE “TERMS”). IF YOU ARE
NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION
TO USE THE SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND LIIF’S PROVISION OF THE
SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY LIIF AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY
THESE TERMS.
1. SPARCC Service Overview. SPARCC
provides a software platform that facilitates non-profits in improving
volunteer engagement and managing volunteer activities.
2.
Eligibility. You must be at
least 16 years of age to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you
represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 16 years of age; (b) you
have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) your
registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the
individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that
they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by
these Terms.
3.
Accounts and
Registration. To access most features of the Service, you must register
for an account. When you register for an account,
you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as
your email address or other contact information. You agree that the information
you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date
at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You
are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and
password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under
your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer
secure, then you must immediately notify us at info@sparcchub.org.
4.
Licenses
4.1.Limited License. Subject to your complete and ongoing
compliance with these Terms, LIIF grants you, solely for your personal,
non-commercial use, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable,
non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service.
4.2.License Restrictions. Except and solely
to the extent such a restriction is impermissible under applicable law, you may
not: (a) reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or publicly perform the
Service; (b) make modifications to the Service; or (c) interfere with or
circumvent any feature of the Service, including any security or access control
mechanism. If you are prohibited under applicable law from using the Service,
you may not use it.
5.
Platform Points
5.1.Points. The SPARCC Service may include opportunities for you to
earn (including by completing actions or activities, or otherwise participating
to the SPARCC community), and use virtual points (“Platform Points”) and
to obtain goods or other rewards in exchange for those points (together “Rewards”).
Regardless of what they are called, Platform Points are not real money, do not
have monetary value, and may never be redeemed for “real world” money, or other
items of monetary value from outside the SPARCC Service without our written
permission. While we may use terms like “earn”, “trade-in”, or “cash-out” in
reference to the Platform Points, we do so only for convenience and such terms
in no way indicate that Platform Points have monetary value or are real money.
You acknowledge that Platform Points are not real currency and are not
redeemable for any sum of money from us at any time. We make no guarantee as to
the nature, quality, or value of the features of the SPARCC Service or any third-party good or services
that will be accessible through the use of Platform Points, or the availability
or supply of Platform Points. Platform Points and Rewards obtained via the LIIF
Service are provided to you under a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable,
non-sublicensable license to use within the SPARCC Service. Platform
Points and Rewards may not be transferred or resold in any manner, including,
without limitation, by means of any direct sale or auction service. Rewards may
be subject to a separate third-party license or agreement. Except as
perhaps specifically provided to you in writing by a third party as to
third-party Rewards, you have no property interest, right or title in or to any
such Platform Points or Rewards appearing or originating in the SPARCC Service
or any other attributes associated with use of the SPARCC Service. Any
“virtual currency” balance shown in your account does not constitute a
real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a
measurement of the extent of your license.
All Platform Points
and Rewards are forfeited if your account or access to the SPARCC Service is
terminated or suspended for any reason, in our sole and absolute discretion, or
if we discontinue availability of some or all of the SPARCC Service. We
may at any time expire free or promotional Platform Points given to you.
We have no
liability for hacking or loss of your Platform Points or any goods or services
obtained using Platform Points. We have no obligation to, and will not,
reimburse you for any Platform Points or Rewards that are lost due to your
violation of these Terms. We reserve the right, without prior notification, to
limit the quantity of Platform Points or Rewards and to refuse to provide you
with any Platform Points or Rewards. Price, exchangeability and availability of
Platform Points and Rewards are determined by us in our sole discretion and are
subject to change without notice. You agree that we have the absolute
right to manage, distribute, regulate, control, modify, or eliminate Platform
Points as we see fit in our sole discretion, and that we will have no liability
for exercising such right.
You agree that
under no circumstances are we liable to you for any damages or claims that may
arise from the loss or use of your Platform Points regardless of the
circumstances. You absolve us of any responsibility to maintain or update
your SPARCC account Platform Points or Rewards balance. However, if there
is a loss of Platform Points in your account due to technical or operational
problems with the SPARCC Service, we will refund the lost Platform Points once
the loss has been verified. Without limiting any of the foregoing, our maximum
liability or responsibility to you is to refund the Platform Points lost.
5.2.Redeeming Points. You may from time to time be
presented with opportunities to redeem Platform Points for Rewards. We
will, in our sole discretion, determine and communicate the availability and
exchange rate for any Platform Points and Rewards, which may be modified at any
time. You must comply with any individual Reward limitations as
indicated via the SPARCC Service. We reserve the right to cancel, restrict or
terminate Platform Points or Rewards at any time for any reason. All
Rewards are subject to availability. All redemptions are subject to these
Terms, any third-party terms associated with a Reward, and all limitations and
requirements stated via the SPARCC Services.
You may choose a
Reward that is still available for which you have accumulated sufficient
Platform Points for redemption. Select the Reward you wish to use and
follow and instructions to complete the redemption process. As part of the
redemption process, you may receive a confirmation email or message from us or
our designee or Rewards partner and, when applicable, an email or message
containing the Platform Points in the form of a link, code, coupon, or similar
means. Emails or messages will be sent to the email address or other
contact information assigned to your account.
All acquisitions of
Platform Points and redemptions for Rewards are final. Once Platform
Points has been lost or spent, it will be subtracted from your account and
cannot be refunded or returned, except in our sole discretion. No
Platform Points will be re-credited to your account in the event of a return or
exchange of a Reward, or any problem with any Rewards.

acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or
objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right
or remedy you have or may have against LIIF with respect to User Content. We
expressly disclaim any and all liability in connection with User Content. If

consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect
our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver
by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms,
be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision
itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will
not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. If any part of
these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will
