Our Terms of Service
These Terms explain the conditions that apply when accessing Gary Literacy Coalition websites, programs, forms, donation opportunities, communications, and related digital services.
Clear Terms. Community Focus.
These Terms govern the use of Gary Literacy Coalition digital services and explain important information regarding donations, communications, programs, website use, and related services.
1.0 Purpose of Our Services
Gary Literacy Coalition provides information and resources related to literacy, educational programs, community initiatives, events, volunteer opportunities, partnerships, fundraising, and other activities supporting GLC's mission. Information provided through our website is intended for general informational and community-resource purposes.
2.0 Acceptable Use
You agree not to misuse GLC's websites or digital services, interfere with their operation, attempt unauthorized access, knowingly provide fraudulent information, introduce malicious software, or use our services for unlawful purposes.
3.0 Donations
Donations made to Gary Literacy Coalition are voluntary. Donation opportunities may include general contributions, philanthropic campaigns, sponsorships, special initiatives, or other designated giving opportunities. Where GLC expressly identifies a donation as restricted or designated for a particular purpose, GLC will administer the contribution consistent with applicable requirements.
Unless otherwise stated, donations may support GLC's overall mission, programs, operations, literacy initiatives, community outreach, and related organizational needs. Donors are responsible for consulting their own tax advisers regarding the tax treatment of contributions.
In Plain English: Your gift supports GLC's mission and programs unless the donation is specifically identified as being restricted or designated for a particular purpose.
4.0 Third-Party Payment Processing
Online donations may be processed through third-party payment providers. Use of those services may also be subject to the provider's terms and privacy policies. GLC is not responsible for interruptions or other issues originating solely from third-party payment platforms beyond our reasonable control.

When you separately opt in to receive SMS/text messages from Gary Literacy Coalition, you agree to receive messages consistent with the consent provided at enrollment.
Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. For information about how GLC handles your information and SMS consent, please review our Privacy Policy.
In Plain English: You only receive GLC text messages when you separately opt in. You can reply STOP at any time to unsubscribe.
6.0 Email Communications
If you elect to receive email communications, GLC may send information concerning programs, events, community activities, literacy resources, volunteer opportunities, fundraising initiatives, and organizational updates. You may unsubscribe from applicable promotional emails using the unsubscribe option included in those communications.
7.0 Event & Program Information
GLC makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate information about programs and events. Dates, times, locations, availability, speakers, activities, and other program details may change. Participation in certain programs or events may be subject to additional rules, eligibility requirements, registration terms, waivers, or notices.
8.0 Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, GLC's original website content, branding, logos, graphics, written materials, and other proprietary materials are owned by or licensed to Gary Literacy Coalition and may be protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants permission to use GLC's name, logo, or protected materials in a manner suggesting endorsement, affiliation, or authorization without permission.
9.0 Third-Party Websites
GLC may provide links to external websites or resources for convenience or informational purposes. A link does not necessarily constitute GLC's endorsement of all content, products, services, or practices of the third-party website.
In Plain English: GLC may link to useful outside resources, but those websites operate under their own terms and policies.
10.0 Disclaimer
GLC makes reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information, but website content is provided for general informational purposes and may be updated or changed. To the extent permitted by applicable law, GLC does not guarantee that its website will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Gary Literacy Coalition and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising solely from use of, or inability to use, GLC's website or digital services. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit rights or liabilities that cannot legally be limited.
12.0 Changes to These Terms
GLC may update these Terms periodically. Revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the website after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
