Terms of Service: Legal Conditions and Guidelines

Acceptance of Terms

By using Earthflag, you agree to these Terms of Service.

These terms apply when you visit the site, read its materials, share its pages, submit a message, or otherwise use the service. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use Earthflag.

Earthflag exists to present educational, historical, and civic-minded material connected to the Earth Flag Project. The work asks for care: care with facts, care with symbols, and care with the people and communities connected to those symbols.

Your responsibility when using Earthflag

You agree to use the service in a way that respects the law and the purpose of the site. That includes reading, sharing, and referencing materials without misrepresenting their meaning or origin.

If you contact Earthflag through the site, you agree to provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge. A simple example matters here: if you write to ask about an educational display, describe the school, museum, or civic setting honestly so the reply can match the request.

Changes to these terms

Earthflag may update these terms when the service changes, when legal requirements shift, or when clearer language serves visitors better. When changes occur, the “Last updated” date on this page will reflect the current version.

Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. If a change affects how visitors use the service in a material way, Earthflag aims to make that change visible in the page language rather than burying it.

Permitted Uses of the Service

Use Earthflag for lawful purposes only.

You may use the site to learn about the Earth Flag Project, review educational content, explore historical context, and contact Earthflag through the available channels. You may also share links to public pages, provided you do not imply endorsement, authorship, or affiliation where none exists.

The strongest rule is also the simplest one: do not use Earthflag to harm people, mislead readers, disrupt the site, or break the law.

Allowed use

• Reading and citing public educational material in a fair and accurate way.
• Sharing public Earthflag pages with students, colleagues, civic groups, or interested readers.
• Contacting Earthflag with good-faith questions, corrections, or requests.
• Using the site for noncommercial learning, discussion, and historical reference.

Uses that are not allowed

• Using the service for unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, harassing, or abusive activity.
• Attempting to interfere with the security, availability, or normal operation of the site.
• Submitting false, misleading, or impersonated information through contact forms or other site features.
• Copying, altering, or presenting Earthflag material in a way that misstates its source or meaning.
• Using automated tools to overload, scrape, or disrupt the service without permission.

Educational sharing and attribution

Earthflag recognizes that teachers, organizers, historians, and visitors often share material in practical ways: a classroom handout, a link in a reading list, a note in a community presentation. Those uses work best when the source remains clear.

When you quote or refer to Earthflag content, identify Earthflag as the source and keep the surrounding context intact. Do not turn a historical note into a claim the site did not make.

Service availability

Earthflag works to keep the site useful and accessible, but it does not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, technical problems, hosting issues, or other events may limit access from time to time.

If a page is unavailable, that does not grant permission to bypass security measures, copy restricted systems, or use alternate methods that interfere with the service.

Last Updated and Scope

Last updated: June 16, 2026.

These terms apply to Earthflag and the public service available through this website. They do not create rights in materials owned by others, and they do not replace separate written agreements where such agreements exist.

Relationship to other site policies

These Terms of Service govern how visitors may use Earthflag. The Privacy Policy explains how privacy-related matters are handled on the site.

Read both pages together if you plan to contact Earthflag, share material in an organized setting, or rely on the site for educational programming.

Content accuracy and historical context

Earthflag treats historical and educational material with care. Even so, historical interpretation can depend on context, source material, and the specific question being asked.

If you believe a page contains an error or needs clearer wording, you may contact Earthflag through the site’s contact page. Specific corrections are more useful than broad objections; a date, name, title, or source reference helps the review.

Limits of use

These terms permit ordinary use of the site. They do not grant permission to misuse names, symbols, written materials, images, or other content associated with Earthflag.

They also do not authorize anyone to speak for Earthflag, represent the Earth Flag Project, or suggest a formal relationship without written permission.

Questions about these terms

If you have questions about these Terms of Service, use the Contact page. Earthflag may not be able to respond to every legal or permissions question in the same way, but a clear message gives the conversation a better start.

These terms are short by design. They set the conditions for respectful, lawful use and leave room for the site’s main work: preserving and explaining the story of the Earth Flag with care.
