Services may include membership experiences, virtual and in-person events, Social Impact World+ ("SIW+"), Field Intelligence, the Impact Data Hub, content, research, and other products, tools, platforms, and resources offered by Social Impact World.

Certain Services, content, and features may require a paid membership, subscription, event registration, or other purchase. Availability may vary based on the product, membership tier, subscription level, or other access rights associated with your account.

Acceptable Use

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to use them only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

Your purchase of a membership, subscription, event registration, or other Service does not transfer ownership of any Social Impact World intellectual property to you.

Social Impact World reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate access to an account or Service where it reasonably believes these Terms have been violated, access has been misused, or such action is necessary to protect Social Impact World, its users, its intellectual property, or its systems.

Social Impact World is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, products, services, privacy practices, or other activities of third-party websites or resources.

Privacy Policy

Please refer to Social Impact World's Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, store, and disclose information associated with your use of the Services.

By using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Social Impact World makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the operation, availability, accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, usefulness, or suitability of the Services or their content.

Social Impact World disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Social Impact World does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Social Impact World and its affiliates, owners, directors, employees, contractors, representatives, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages arising from or relating to your access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance upon the Services.

This includes damages arising from inaccuracies, interruptions, loss of data, loss of revenue, loss of profits, business interruption, or decisions made in reliance upon information provided through the Services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Events and Release of Liability

By attending or participating in a Social Impact World event, whether virtual or in person, you acknowledge that participation may involve risks.

For in-person events, you voluntarily assume risks associated with attendance and participation, including risks of bodily injury, illness, property damage, or property loss.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release and hold harmless Social Impact World and its affiliates, owners, directors, employees, contractors, representatives, and agents from claims arising from your voluntary participation in Social Impact World events, except where liability cannot legally be waived.

Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Social Impact World and its affiliates, owners, directors, employees, contractors, representatives, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable expenses arising from your misuse of the Services, violation of these Terms, violation of applicable law, or infringement of third-party rights.

Subscriptions, Renewals, and Cancellations

Certain Social Impact World products and memberships are offered on a subscription basis.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, subscriptions automatically renew at the applicable subscription rate and billing frequency until canceled.

You may cancel an eligible subscription at any time through the account or billing-management tools provided by Social Impact World or by contacting Social Impact World where self-service cancellation is unavailable.

Unless otherwise stated for a particular product, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid subscription period. You will retain access to the applicable Service until that period ends.

Canceling a subscription prevents future renewal charges but does not ordinarily entitle you to a prorated refund for the remaining subscription period.

Refund Policy

Except where a specific refund policy or guarantee is expressly provided at the time of purchase, payments to Social Impact World are non-refundable once made.

Cancellation of a subscription does not result in a refund for the unused portion of an active billing period unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly provided by Social Impact World.

Field Intelligence 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Initial purchases of a Field Intelligence subscription are eligible for Social Impact World's 30-day money-back guarantee.

If Field Intelligence is not valuable to you, you may request a full refund within 30 days of your initial purchase.

After the 30-day guarantee period, subscription payments are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.

Canceling Field Intelligence prevents renewal at the end of the current subscription period but does not otherwise result in a prorated refund.

Social Impact World may establish additional product-specific refund, cancellation, or guarantee policies, which will be disclosed at the time of purchase where applicable.

Impact Data Hub

The Impact Data Hub is part of the Social Impact World platform and provides members with curated data points, research, benchmarks, tools, and other information relating to corporate impact.

Social Impact World+ (SIW+)

SIW+ is an AI-enabled intelligence feature of the Social Impact World platform that transforms practitioner insights and Social Impact World content — including podcasts, webinars, event recordings, interviews, discussions, and other source material — into searchable and synthesized intelligence.

SIW+ may identify, organize, summarize, contextualize, and synthesize information contained within this source material.

By using SIW+, you acknowledge and agree to the following.

AI-Generated Content

SIW+ outputs may be generated or assisted by artificial intelligence.

Outputs may contain inaccuracies, omissions, outdated information, incomplete context, or erroneous interpretations.

SIW+ outputs do not necessarily represent official statements, positions, endorsements, or recommendations of Social Impact World or practitioners whose content may be referenced.

SIW+ does not provide legal, financial, investment, compliance, human resources, medical, or other professional advice.

No Confidentiality

Unless Social Impact World expressly states otherwise, SIW+ outputs should not be considered confidential information.

User Inputs

When you submit questions, prompts, or other content to SIW+, you grant Social Impact World a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, process, store, and analyze those inputs for purposes of operating, maintaining, securing, and improving SIW+ and related Social Impact World services.

You represent and warrant that you have the rights necessary to submit such content and that your submission does not violate applicable law or third-party rights.

Feedback and Improvement Rights

Feedback, suggestions, usage patterns, and insights arising from interactions with SIW+ may be used by Social Impact World to develop and improve its products and services without obligation or compensation to you.

No Training or Model Use

SIW+ outputs — including summaries, analyses, patterns, topic clusters, synthesized insights, and other generated intelligence — may not be used to train, fine-tune, benchmark, validate, ground, evaluate, or improve artificial intelligence systems, machine-learning models, automated knowledge systems, or similar technologies without the express prior written consent of Social Impact World.

These restrictions apply regardless of whether SIW+ outputs are modified, summarized, paraphrased, anonymized, combined with other materials, or incorporated into another dataset.

Use Restrictions for SIW+

You may not:

• Use SIW+ or its outputs to develop, train, benchmark, validate, evaluate, or improve competing products, services, databases, research systems, or AI models.
• Use automated tools, bots, scraping systems, bulk-extraction methods, or similar technologies to systematically access or extract SIW+ content or outputs.
• Reproduce, publish, resell, distribute, sublicense, or commercially exploit SIW+ outputs except as expressly authorized by Social Impact World.
• Use SIW+ outputs as training data, grounding material, reference corpora, knowledge bases, or systematic source material for large language models, retrieval-augmented generation systems, or similar AI tools.
• Systematically extract, compile, or aggregate SIW+ outputs to create a competing database, benchmark, research product, playbook, framework, intelligence product, or commercial service.
• Attempt to reverse engineer SIW+, uncover underlying datasets, prompts, models, algorithms, synthesis methodologies, or system architecture, or bypass access controls or usage limits.
• Represent SIW+ outputs as definitive factual conclusions, consensus views, or authoritative guidance without appropriate context, qualification, and independent verification.
• Use SIW+ as the sole basis for high-stakes legal, financial, governance, safety, hiring, compliance, regulatory, or similar decisions.
• Use SIW+ in ways that generate, facilitate, amplify, or promote harmful, discriminatory, fraudulent, misleading, unethical, or unlawful activity.

Intellectual Property Rights

All proprietary datasets, transcripts, summaries, analyses, topic clusters, prompts, methodologies, software, algorithms, synthesis systems, interfaces, and other intellectual property used to create or operate SIW+ are owned by Social Impact World or its licensors, subject to any underlying rights held by third parties.

Ownership and Use of Outputs

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Social Impact World retains its rights in the proprietary elements of SIW+ outputs and the systems, selection, organization, analysis, and synthesis used to produce them.

Your access to SIW+ grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use SIW+ outputs for personal or internal organizational purposes, subject to these Terms.

You may not represent SIW+ outputs as official positions, endorsements, or recommendations of Social Impact World.

Data Sources and Practitioner Content

SIW+ may synthesize information from practitioner discussions, recordings, interviews, events, and other content hosted, licensed, obtained, or created by Social Impact World.

Practitioners and other third parties retain any rights they hold in their original statements and content.

Social Impact World does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of transcripts, source materials, or AI-generated interpretations derived from them.

Human Judgment Required

SIW+ is designed to support research, reflection, exploration, learning, and decision-making — not to replace professional judgment or independent analysis.

You are responsible for evaluating the relevance, accuracy, completeness, and applicability of SIW+ outputs to your circumstances.

Any reliance upon SIW+ outputs is at your own risk.

Derivative Intelligence Protection

Social Impact World invests substantial resources in selecting, organizing, contextualizing, analyzing, and synthesizing source material into proprietary intelligence.

To the extent protected by applicable law, Social Impact World retains its intellectual property and other rights in the original selection, arrangement, analysis, synthesis, methodologies, and other proprietary elements incorporated into SIW+ and its outputs.

Nothing in these Terms grants you the right to systematically reproduce or commercially exploit those proprietary elements except as expressly authorized by Social Impact World.

Availability and Feature Changes

Access to SIW+ may vary by membership tier, subscription level, or other access rights.

Social Impact World may modify, add, remove, limit, suspend, or discontinue SIW+ features or functionality.

Usage limits, activity caps, rate limits, or fair-use policies may be implemented to maintain system integrity, manage resources, prevent misuse, and provide equitable access.

Enforcement and Survival

Social Impact World reserves the right to investigate suspected misuse of SIW+ and to suspend, restrict, or terminate access where these Terms are violated.

Termination of SIW+ access may occur independently of termination of a broader Social Impact World account.

Provisions relating to intellectual property, prohibited uses, restrictions on AI/model use, derivative intelligence, liability, and other provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall remain in effect following termination.

Field Intelligence

Field Intelligence is a subscription-based intelligence product provided by Social Impact World that analyzes signals, conversations, practitioner perspectives, Social Impact World source material, research, and other information relating to the corporate impact field.

Field Intelligence is designed to identify and surface patterns, emerging needs, priorities, challenges, opportunities, market developments, and other intelligence that may help users better understand the corporate impact landscape.

Field Intelligence may include current intelligence, supporting insights, Field Notes, historical intelligence and archives, research, analysis, platform features, and other content made available by Social Impact World.

Intelligence and Source Material

Field Intelligence may incorporate, analyze, or derive insights from practitioner conversations, Social Impact World content, research, publicly available information, and other source material.

Information may be aggregated, synthesized, interpreted, or anonymized as part of Social Impact World's analytical process.

Field Intelligence reflects Social Impact World's analysis and interpretation of available information. It does not necessarily represent the views of the entire corporate impact field or any individual practitioner, organization, participant, or source.

Informational and Strategic Use

Field Intelligence is provided for informational, research, learning, and strategic-planning purposes.

It is intended to help users better understand market dynamics and should not be considered legal, financial, investment, compliance, human resources, or other professional advice.

Users are responsible for independently evaluating information and determining its relevance and applicability to their organizations, strategies, products, services, or other decisions.

Intellectual Property

Field Intelligence reports, analyses, Field Notes, synthesized insights, frameworks, datasets, taxonomies, methodologies, historical intelligence, and other proprietary materials are owned by Social Impact World or its licensors, subject to any underlying third-party rights.

A Field Intelligence subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use Field Intelligence for your personal or internal organizational purposes.

Purchasing a subscription does not transfer ownership of Field Intelligence content or intellectual property to you.

Field Intelligence Use Restrictions

Unless expressly authorized in writing by Social Impact World, you may not:

• Reproduce, publish, distribute, resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Field Intelligence or substantial portions of its content.
• Systematically copy, download, scrape, extract, archive, compile, or aggregate Field Intelligence content.
• Use Field Intelligence to create or substantially replicate a competing intelligence product, research service, database, benchmark, commercial report, or other commercial offering.
• Use Field Intelligence content to train, fine-tune, benchmark, validate, ground, evaluate, or improve an artificial intelligence system, machine-learning model, retrieval-augmented generation system, knowledge base, or similar automated system.
• Share account credentials or provide unauthorized users with access to Field Intelligence.
• Attempt to circumvent subscription requirements, usage restrictions, access controls, or technical safeguards.
• Misrepresent Field Intelligence findings as official statements or endorsements of individual practitioners, organizations, or the corporate impact field as a whole.

Anonymized and Aggregated Insights

Certain Field Intelligence insights may be derived from conversations, discussions, or other source material involving practitioners or organizations.

Social Impact World may aggregate or anonymize information when presenting intelligence in order to focus on broader patterns and protect the candid nature of relevant discussions.

Anonymization does not guarantee that information could never be inferred or associated with a particular source when combined with other information available to a user.

Users agree not to attempt to identify, reverse engineer, or attribute anonymized insights to individual practitioners or organizations.

Accuracy and Human Judgment

Field Intelligence is designed to surface patterns and provide strategic intelligence based on available information.

Social Impact World does not guarantee that Field Intelligence will identify every relevant development, accurately predict future events, or apply to every organization, market, or circumstance.

You are responsible for independently evaluating Field Intelligence before making decisions based upon it.

Updates and Availability

Field Intelligence is currently designed to receive substantive updates on a quarterly basis, although Social Impact World may publish additional intelligence or updates at other times.

Social Impact World may modify the timing, frequency, methodology, scope, format, features, sources, or content of Field Intelligence as the product evolves.

Access to archives, historical intelligence, platform functionality, or particular features may also change over time.

Subscription Access

Access to Field Intelligence requires an active subscription or other access authorization provided by Social Impact World.

Access continues for the applicable paid subscription period unless terminated or restricted in accordance with these Terms.

Cancellation prevents renewal at the end of the applicable subscription period. Refund eligibility is governed by the Refund Policy and Field Intelligence 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee described above.

Changes to the Services

Social Impact World continually develops its products and services.

We may add, modify, replace, restrict, suspend, or discontinue features, functionality, content, products, or portions of the Services.

Where reasonably practicable, Social Impact World may provide notice of material changes affecting paid Services, but nothing in these Terms guarantees the continued availability of any particular feature or functionality.

Changes to These Terms

Social Impact World may update these Terms from time to time.

When changes are made, the "Last updated" date at the beginning of these Terms will be revised.

Your continued use of the Services following the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable in the jurisdiction in which Social Impact World is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

You agree that disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services will be subject to the jurisdiction of courts with authority over Social Impact World, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Social Impact World Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly presented in connection with a particular Service or purchase, constitute the agreement between you and Social Impact World regarding your use of the Services.
