Natural Resources Wildlife Lab — Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 22, 2026 Last Updated: May 22, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website, mobile application, application-programming interfaces, and other online products and services (collectively, the "Services") made available by [Natural Resources Wildlife Lab, Inc.], a [Washington] nonprofit corporation recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Tax ID [EIN-PLACEHOLDER]), with a principal place of business at [STREET ADDRESS, CITY, WA ZIP] ("NRWL," "we," "our," or "us"), operated under the brand "Natural Resources Wildlife Lab" at the domain nrwl.org (and any sub-domains thereof) and at nrwl.app.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. They contain important information regarding your legal rights, including a binding arbitration agreement and class-action waiver (see Section 19) that, except as set out there, require disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court, and they limit our liability to you (see Sections 16 and 17). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Services.

These Terms apply equally to visitors, registered users, donors, recurring givers, volunteers, partner organizations, content contributors, and members of any NRWL program.

1. Our Mission and What We Do

NRWL is a nonprofit organization dedicated to conservation, scientific education, and wildlife protection. Through the Services we publish educational content about ecosystems, species, and conservation initiatives; share field research and citizen- science programs; surface partner conservation campaigns; accept donations and recurring gifts; and, where appropriate, link to or recommend products and services from partner organizations whose proceeds support our mission ("Affiliate Recommendations" — see Section 11).

The Services are educational and informational. They do not constitute professional advice of any kind (scientific, veterinary, environmental-legal, regulatory, financial, medical, or otherwise), and you should not rely on them as a substitute for the advice of qualified professionals or regulators.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using the Services, by registering an Account, by making a donation, by subscribing to a newsletter, by purchasing or pledging through an Affiliate Recommendation, or by otherwise interacting with the Services, you confirm that:

1. You have read and understand these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any other policies referenced herein (collectively, the "Agreement"); and
2. You agree to be bound by the Agreement.

If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

3. Definitions

Capitalized terms used in these Terms have the meanings given below or, if not defined here, the meanings given elsewhere in the Agreement:

| Term | Meaning | |---|---| | Account | The credentialed identity (if any) you use to access the Services. | | Affiliate Recommendation | A link or recommendation in the Services to a product or service of a third party, where NRWL may receive a commission or referral fee from a qualifying transaction. | | Content | Any data, text, images, audio, video, or other material made available through the Services. | | Donation | A voluntary, gratuitous contribution to NRWL, whether one-time or recurring. | | User Content | Content you upload, transmit, comment, or otherwise make available through the Services. |

4. Eligibility and Account Registration

4.1 Minimum Age

The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or 16 in jurisdictions where 16 is the digital-consent age, including the EU/EEA and certain U.S. states). You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Services only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian.

4.2 Account (Optional)

Most parts of the Services do not require an Account. If you create an Account (for example, to receive donor receipts, save citizen-science contributions, or sign up for volunteer programs), you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your Account credentials.

4.3 Closing Your Account

You may close your Account at any time through Account settings or by emailing [support@nrwl.org]. Closing your Account does not by itself delete all data relating to past Donations or transactions, which we may need to retain for tax, audit, and legal-compliance purposes — see Section 9 of the Privacy Policy.

5. Donations

5.1 Nature of Donations

Donations to NRWL are voluntary, gratuitous, and non-refundable except as required by applicable law or our published refund policy (Section 5.6). They are made in support of NRWL's general charitable mission unless you direct your Donation to a specific program that we have publicly designated as an eligible restricted fund.

5.2 Tax Treatment

NRWL is a tax-exempt organization under IRC § 501(c)(3). For U.S. taxpayers, Donations may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, less the value of any goods or services received in return. We issue acknowledgement letters that include, where required by IRC § 170(f)(8) and IRS Publication 1771: the amount of the Donation; a statement that no goods or services were provided in exchange (or, if they were, a description and a good-faith estimate of their value); and our taxpayer identification number.

NRWL does not provide tax advice. Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of your Donation.

For donors outside the United States, tax treatment is governed by your local law.

5.3 Recurring Donations

If you elect to make a recurring Donation (monthly, quarterly, annually, or otherwise), you authorize NRWL (and our payment processor) to charge your payment method on the recurring cadence you select, until you cancel. We disclose the amount, frequency, and cancellation method clearly at signup.

In compliance with Washington's automatic-renewal-equivalent disclosure standards and analogous statutes:

• We obtain your affirmative consent to recurring billing terms at signup.
• For annual recurring Donations of US$100 or more, we send a renewal reminder between 15 and 45 days before each renewal.
• You may cancel at any time, online via Account settings or by emailing [giving@nrwl.org], with no cancellation fee. Cancellation is effective at the end of the then-current cycle.

5.4 Payment Methods

We accept Donations through trusted payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, and others). Full payment-card numbers and ACH details are processed by those providers in a PCI-compliant environment and are not retained by NRWL beyond tokenized references and last-four digits.

5.5 Donor Bill of Rights

NRWL adheres to the Donor Bill of Rights published by the AFP/AAFRC/CASE (Association of Fundraising Professionals and partners). In summary, you have the right to: be informed of NRWL's mission; know our identity and standing; have access to our most recent audited financial statements (or Form 990) on request; be assured that gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given; receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition; have the privacy of your gift respected to the extent provided by law; expect that all relationships with NRWL fundraising representatives are professional; be informed whether those soliciting on our behalf are volunteers, employees, or hired solicitors; have the opportunity to have your name removed from any list NRWL intends to share; and feel free to ask questions and receive prompt, truthful answers.

5.6 Refunds

We process refund requests for erroneous, duplicate, or unauthorized Donations within 30 days of the charge. Send refund requests to [giving@nrwl.org] with the date and amount of the Donation and the reason for the request. If a refund is issued for a Donation for which a tax-acknowledgement letter was previously sent, we will issue a corrected acknowledgement.

5.7 Tribute, Memorial, and Designated Gifts

For tribute or memorial gifts, we will, on your request, notify the honoree or designated family member of the gift (without disclosing the amount unless you authorize it). For program-designated gifts, we will use the Donation for the designated program; if that program is concluded or fully funded, we will redirect the Donation to a closely related conservation purpose and notify you where practicable.

6. User Content

6.1 Ownership

You retain ownership of User Content. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of User Content to NRWL.

6.2 License to NRWL

You grant NRWL a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (only to the extent required for technical operation), publish, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and create derivative works of User Content, solely for the purpose of operating, providing, improving, and promoting the Services and NRWL's charitable mission.

For citizen-science contributions (e.g., wildlife observation reports, photographs of species, telemetry data), this license additionally permits NRWL to share aggregated, de-identified contributions with conservation partners, academic researchers, and government agencies for conservation-research purposes. We will credit the original contributor in publications where practicable, in accordance with our Citizen-Science Attribution Policy (available on request).

6.3 Representations Regarding User Content

You represent and warrant that:

1. You either own or have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to submit User Content and to grant the license in Section 6.2;
2. Submission of User Content does not violate any third-party right (including intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or moral rights) or any law;
3. You have obtained any consents required to include personal information of third parties in User Content (for example, photographs of identifiable people); and
4. Any wildlife observations were obtained without disturbing protected species or violating local conservation laws, permits, or protected-area regulations.

6.4 Removal

We may remove User Content that we reasonably believe violates the Agreement, applicable law, the rights of a third party, or our Citizen-Science Standards (including the protection of sensitive-species location data — see Section 14).

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to (and not to assist or enable any third party to):

1. Use the Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or harmful purpose;
2. Submit false wildlife sightings or fabricate citizen-science data;
3. Publish or share precise, real-time locations of threatened or endangered species, nests, dens, or breeding sites in any context that could facilitate poaching, harassment, or unauthorized intrusion (NRWL operates a sensitive-species masking protocol — see Section 14);
4. Use the Services to solicit donations on behalf of another organization without our prior written consent;
5. Upload Content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit involving any person under 18, threatening, harassing, or that incites violence or discrimination;
6. Infringe any intellectual-property or other right of any party;
7. Distribute malware or harmful code;
8. Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, server, network, or system — see Section 13 for our coordinated-disclosure policy;
9. Use any automated mechanism on the Services in violation of robots.txt, rate limits, or other technical restrictions;
10. Misrepresent your affiliation with NRWL, falsely imply NRWL endorsement of any third party, or use NRWL's name, logos, or branding in fundraising, advocacy, or commercial materials without our prior written permission;
11. Use the Services to send unsolicited commercial communications ("spam") in violation of CAN-SPAM, TCPA, RCW 19.190, or analogous law;
12. Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.

Violation of Section 7 may result in immediate suspension or termination of your Account (Section 14) and may give rise to civil or criminal liability.

8. Citizen Science and Sensitive Species

NRWL operates citizen-science programs where you may report wildlife observations. We implement a sensitive-species protocol that may automatically generalize the location of reports involving threatened, endangered, or otherwise sensitive species to a coarse grid (e.g., 10 km × 10 km) before public display. Precise locations are retained internally for scientific use under stricter access controls and disclosed only to qualified researchers under a data-use agreement, or to authorities pursuant to law.

You agree to follow the Citizen-Science Field Code of Conduct, which prohibits harassment of wildlife, off-trail intrusion into sensitive habitat, baiting, flushing, and similar behaviors. Repeated violations will result in account suspension.

9. Affiliate Recommendations and Sponsored Content

NRWL may earn revenue from links to third-party products or services. This revenue supports our mission. We make the following disclosures consistent with the FTC Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255), the Washington Consumer Protection Act (RCW 19.86), and best charitable-sector practice:

1. Clear and conspicuous disclosure. Affiliate Recommendations and sponsored content are labeled (for example, with the phrases "Affiliate link," "Sponsored," "We may earn a commission," or similar) at or near the recommendation.
2. Editorial independence. We do not make Affiliate Recommendations based solely on the commission rate. Our editorial standards (available at nrwl.org/editorial-standards, or on request) require that any product or organization we recommend is consistent with NRWL's mission and meets our conservation, labor, and supply-chain criteria.
3. No undisclosed material connection. We disclose any material connection between NRWL and the third party (e.g., shared board members) where required.
4. Sponsored editorial. Where a third party has paid us to produce or place a piece of content, that content is labeled "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership," and the funding source is identified.
5. No personal medical, financial, or legal advice. Affiliate Recommendations are not professional advice. Consult a qualified professional before relying on any recommendation for a high-stakes decision.

10. Volunteer Programs

If you sign up for volunteer activities through the Services, you agree to comply with the program's specific guidelines, sign any required liability waiver before participating, and follow the directions of NRWL staff or designated volunteer leaders. NRWL does not classify volunteers as employees; volunteers receive no wages, salary, or benefits from NRWL, except for reimbursement of reasonable pre-approved expenses where applicable. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, or agency relationship.

11. Intellectual Property; Feedback

11.1 NRWL IP

The Services, including all software, designs, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, service marks, and trade dress, are owned by NRWL or its licensors. Except as expressly granted in these Terms, no license to any NRWL IP is granted.

11.2 Limited License to You

Subject to the Agreement, NRWL grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial educational use, including the right to share NRWL educational content on personal social-media accounts with proper attribution.

11.3 Open-Educational Use

Certain NRWL educational content may be made available under a Creative Commons license (e.g., CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Where a piece of content carries such a license, that license governs your use of that content as between you and NRWL.

11.4 Trademarks

"Natural Resources Wildlife Lab," "NRWL," and our logos are trademarks of NRWL. You may not use them without our prior written permission, except for truthful, non-misleading editorial reference.

11.5 Feedback

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant NRWL a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose, without obligation to you.

12. Copyright Complaints — DMCA Notice and Counter-Notice

We respond to clear notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. See the InterPegasus DMCA process for the required elements; for NRWL, send notices to:

NRWL DMCA Designated Agent [STREET ADDRESS] [CITY, STATE, ZIP] Email: [dmca@nrwl.org]

We terminate Accounts of users we determine, in our reasonable discretion, to be repeat infringers.

13. Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure

We welcome good-faith security research that follows our coordinated-disclosure policy at [nrwl.org/security/disclosure] (or by email to [security@nrwl.org]). We will not pursue legal action against researchers who: (a) comply with that policy; (b) avoid privacy violations, data destruction, and disruption; and (c) report promptly. This safe-harbor commitment applies only to the extent permitted by law.

14. Suspension and Termination by NRWL

14.1 For Cause

We may suspend or terminate your Account, your ability to make Donations, or your access to specific Services, effective immediately, if we reasonably believe that you have materially breached the Agreement (including the citizen-science conduct rules in Section 8 or the sensitive-species protections), that continued access poses a security or legal risk, or that the law requires us to do so. Where practicable, we will give notice and an opportunity to cure non-material breaches.

14.2 For Convenience

We may discontinue the Services in their entirety, or any feature, upon reasonable notice. We will continue to honor outstanding tax-acknowledgement obligations and donor-restricted commitments to the extent legally and practically feasible.

14.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases, but Sections that by their nature should survive (including 5.2, 6.2 (last sentence), 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 21–25) will survive.

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NRWL, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, volunteers, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, damages, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your participation in citizen-science or volunteer programs; (c) your breach of the Agreement; (d) your violation of any law or third-party right; or (e) your misuse of the Services. We may, at our option, assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification.

16. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT (INCLUDING EDUCATIONAL CONTENT, CITIZEN-SCIENCE RECOMMENDATIONS, SPECIES IDENTIFICATIONS, AND AFFILIATE RECOMMENDATIONS) ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING:

(A) NRWL DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR CURRENCY OF SPECIES IDENTIFICATIONS, HABITAT INFORMATION, OR CONSERVATION-STATUS DATA. SUCH INFORMATION EVOLVES; ALWAYS CONSULT AUTHORITATIVE SOURCES (e.g., IUCN, USFWS, NOAA) FOR REGULATORY OR DECISION-MAKING PURPOSES.

(B) NRWL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT INTERACTIONS WITH WILDLIFE OR HABITATS SUGGESTED OR DESCRIBED IN THE SERVICES ARE SAFE OR LEGAL IN YOUR JURISDICTION. ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL, STATE, TRIBAL, AND FEDERAL LAW.

(C) NRWL DOES NOT WARRANT THE QUALITY, SAFETY, FITNESS, ETHICS, OR PERFORMANCE OF THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES REACHED VIA AFFILIATE RECOMMENDATIONS. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THOSE THIRD PARTIES IS GOVERNED BY THEIR OWN TERMS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. Washington consumers retain any warranty rights provided under the Washington Consumer Protection Act (RCW 19.86) that cannot be contractually waived.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

(A) IN NO EVENT WILL NRWL OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

(B) NRWL'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DONATIONS YOU MADE TO NRWL IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (II) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

(C) THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 17 APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

(D) NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS OR EXCLUDES LIABILITY FOR (I) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE; (II) GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; (III) FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION; OR (IV) ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

(E) WASHINGTON RESIDENTS: Nothing in this Section 17 limits any non-waivable right under the Washington Consumer Protection Act (RCW 19.86) or any other Washington statute that prohibits contractual waiver.

(F) These limitations do not limit a donor's right under applicable state law to contest a Donation as the product of fraud or duress.

18. Governing Law and Venue

The Agreement and any dispute relating to the Agreement, the Services, or Donations are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and by applicable U.S. federal law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Subject to the binding-arbitration agreement in Section 19, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington (or the Washington county where NRWL's principal office is located, if different) for any action that is not subject to arbitration.

19. Mandatory Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver

19.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and NRWL agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to the Agreement, the Services, your Donation, or your relationship with NRWL (collectively, a "Dispute") will be resolved exclusively by individual, binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules (for claims under US$250,000) or Comprehensive Arbitration Rules (for larger claims), available at jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in King County, Washington, or remotely at the donor's/consumer's election. The arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19.2 Exceptions

The agreement to arbitrate does not apply to:

(a) Small-claims actions brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on an individual basis; (b) Injunctive relief sought by either party for intellectual-property infringement or misappropriation, breach of confidentiality, violation of Section 7 (e.g., publishing sensitive-species location data), or violation of trademark / brand protections; (c) Any claim that, by binding precedent or applicable law, cannot be subject to pre-dispute arbitration; (d) Disputes regarding the validity of a Donation (e.g., refund disputes governed by Section 5.6) under US$1,000, which may be resolved through NRWL's donor-care process or small-claims court at your election; or (e) California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey residents to the extent the arbitration agreement is unenforceable under controlling state law.

19.3 Class-Action Waiver

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and NRWL each waive the right to participate in any class, collective, representative, or private-attorney-general action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over class proceedings. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds this class-action waiver unenforceable as to any particular Dispute, that Dispute (and only that Dispute) will be severed and brought in court; the remainder of Section 19 remains in effect.

19.4 30-Day Opt-Out

You may opt out of Section 19 within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms by emailing [arbitration-optout@nrwl.org] with your name, the email associated with your Account or Donation, and a clear statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of the Agreement.

19.5 Pre-Arbitration Notice; Informal Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, the claimant must give a written Notice of Dispute describing the claim and the relief sought, sent to [legal@nrwl.org] (for the user, with a copy by certified mail to NRWL's registered agent). The parties will attempt to resolve the Dispute informally for 60 days from the date of the Notice.

19.6 Fees

NRWL will pay all JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for consumer claims of less than US$250,000 brought in good faith. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs except where the arbitrator awards them or applicable law requires a fee-shifting outcome.

19.7 Confidentiality

Arbitration proceedings, including the award, are confidential, except to the extent disclosure is required by law, by court order, to enforce the award, or for permissible whistleblower disclosures under applicable law.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms with a new "Last Updated" date and, for material changes, will provide at least 30 days' notice (by email, in-product notice, or homepage banner). Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

21. Notices; Electronic Communications

Notices to you may be sent by email, by in-product notice, or by U.S. mail to an address you have provided. Notices to NRWL must be sent to [legal@nrwl.org] with a copy to [Natural Resources Wildlife Lab, Inc., Attn: Legal, STREET ADDRESS, CITY, WA ZIP]. You consent to receive notices and communications electronically.

22. Export Controls; Sanctions

You may not use the Services in violation of U.S. export-control or sanctions laws, including those administered by OFAC and BIS, or analogous laws of your jurisdiction. You represent that you are not located in, or a resident of, a country subject to U.S. embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of restricted parties.

23. State Charitable Solicitation Disclosures

NRWL solicits Donations in the United States subject to state charitable-solicitation registration laws. As required by various state laws, the following disclosures are provided:

• Washington: "Charitable Solicitations under RCW 19.09 — The Office of the Secretary of State has on file with respect to NRWL information that you can obtain by calling the Secretary of State's Charities Program at 1-800-332-4483 or visiting www.sos.wa.gov/charities."
• Florida: "A COPY OF THE OFFICIAL REGISTRATION AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE DIVISION OF CONSUMER SERVICES BY CALLING TOLL-FREE WITHIN THE STATE 1-800-HELP-FLA, OR VIA THE INTERNET AT WWW.FloridaConsumerHelp.com. REGISTRATION DOES NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT, APPROVAL, OR RECOMMENDATION BY THE STATE. Reg. No.: [TBD]."
• New York: "Upon request, from the Attorney General Charities Bureau, 28 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10005, or www.charitiesnys.com, a copy of NRWL's most recent annual report is available."
• Other states: State-specific disclosures available at nrwl.org/state-disclosures.

Registration in a state does not imply endorsement. We post our most recent audited financial statements and IRS Form 990 at nrwl.org/financials (or on request).

24. Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, governmental action, labor strike, internet outage, or failure of hosting infrastructure.

25. General

25.1 Entire Agreement

The Agreement, together with any program-specific terms incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and NRWL regarding the Services and supersedes any prior agreement.

25.2 Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.

25.3 No Waiver

Failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.

25.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer the Agreement without our prior written consent. NRWL may assign the Agreement in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets, including to a successor charitable organization with a compatible mission.

25.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

There are no third-party beneficiaries to the Agreement except where required by law for tax-deductible donations (e.g., the donor's heirs for the purpose of acknowledgement letters).

25.6 Headings

Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

25.7 Independent Contractors

The parties are independent contractors. The Agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
