Version 4.2.0-beta-final-FINAL · Effective: Retroactively, Somehow
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing this website, you ("the User," "the Visitor," "the Person Who Somehow Found This") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and acknowledge that Hack Club is the greatest coding club in recorded history. You further agree that our website is "beautiful" and "a masterpiece" and not, as the art teacher described it, "a crime against design."
2. Acceptable Use Policy
Users of this platform agree to NOT:
- Critique our code in any public forum (it is doing its best)
- Alert the IT department to the existence of this website
- Execute
rm -rf /on any computer lab machine - Assert that Python is superior to JavaScript within earshot of our CEO (he is emotionally fragile on this topic)
- Deploy to production on a Friday (this is grounds for immediate termination)
- Use light mode in the presence of club members (bannable offense, zero tolerance)
- Ask Brian to fix anything (Brian quit. We are still processing this.)
3. Intellectual Property
All content, code, and "intellectual property" on this website is owned by Hack Club Innovations Inc. Ltd. LLC. GmbH. The term "intellectual" is used loosely. The term "property" is used even more loosely. Please do not steal our code. Not because it is valuable, but because you deserve better code than this.
4. Limitation of Liability
Hack Club shall not be held liable for, but is not limited to:
- Ocular damage sustained from viewing this website's color palette
- Photosensitive episodes triggered by our CSS animations
- Academic consequences resulting from "coding sessions" during homework time
- Existential crises induced by debugging sessions exceeding 4 hours
- Any software bugs that escape from our codebase into your device (they are features)
- Emotional damage caused by reading our blog posts (especially the one with lorem ipsum)
- The 2.5-second loading screen on our static website
5. Service Level Agreement (SLA)
We guarantee 0% uptime. Any uptime you experience is coincidental and should not be relied upon. Our infrastructure consists of GitHub Pages and prayer. If the website is down, please check back in 5-7 business days, or whenever Kevin's mom restarts the router.
6. Termination
We reserve the right to terminate your access to this website at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion. In practice, we will never exercise this right because we desperately need the traffic. Our analytics show 7 monthly visitors and 4 of them are us. Please keep coming back. Please.
7. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Mrs. Henderson's classroom (Room 204, no food near the computers). Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted by the school principal, whose decisions are final and usually involve taking away computer lab privileges for a week.
8. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, we honestly wouldn't know, because none of us have read these Terms either. The remaining provisions will continue in full force, assuming anyone remembers they exist.
By scrolling past this fine print, you agree to bring pizza to the next meeting. This is legally binding. We checked with our legal team. Our legal team is a sophomore who watched 2 episodes of Suits. He assures us this will hold up in court.
