1. Who Can Use Middle Path

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. By creating an account, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you'll keep it up to date.

2. Your Account

You're responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Let us know right away at info@middlepathusa.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

3. What Middle Path Is

Middle Path USA is a community platform built to help people find common ground across political, religious, and cultural divides, organized around a set of discussion topics and a Red/Orange/Green framework for respectful conversation. Features may include community discussions, local chapters, events, and a mobile app, some of which are still in development and may change over time.

4. Community Content and Conduct

You retain ownership of any content you post (comments, discussion posts, and similar contributions). By posting, you grant Middle Path a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and promote that content on the Site and in related materials.

When using Middle Path, you agree not to:

We may remove content, suspend accounts, or take other action, in our discretion, for violations of these Terms.

5. Chapters and Local Groups

Campus and community chapters operate as locally organized groups. A chapter's views and activities represent that chapter, not an official position of Middle Path USA, unless expressly stated otherwise.

6. Donations

Where donation features are enabled, donations are processed by third-party payment providers (such as Stripe or PayPal) under their own terms. Donations are generally non-refundable except as required by law or stated otherwise at the time of donation.

7. Intellectual Property

The Middle Path USA name, logo, and original Site content are owned by Middle Path USA and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not use our name, logo, or branding without our prior written permission, except as necessary to accurately describe your affiliation with a chapter.
