Lead Terms of Use
Last updated: April 17, 2026 (V43).
By clicking "I agree," you accept these terms. You must accept them before you can operate a channel on CommUnity OS.
1. Who you are
You are a "Lead" — a community figure authorized by an Operator (a partner organization) to administer a channel on the CommUnity OS platform. You are not an employee of the platform operator.
2. What you can do
You can configure your channel, post knowledge-guide content, moderate comments, and interact with Residents in your channel. You cannot add legal, medical, or financial advisory services unless you are a professional licensed to provide them in your jurisdiction and you comply with the rules of your profession.
3. What you cannot do
- No legal advice. Unless you are a licensed attorney, do not advise Residents on their specific legal matters. You may share general legal information and point Residents to attorneys or legal aid organizations.
- No medical advice. Unless you are a licensed medical professional, do not advise Residents on their medical conditions.
- No impersonation. Do not hold yourself out as a lawyer, doctor, or official if you are not one.
- No PII collection. Do not ask Residents for real names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other identifying information. The platform collects no PII by design, and you must preserve that posture.
- No doxxing or surveillance. Do not attempt to identify Residents, share Resident information outside the platform, or use the platform to track, pressure, or expose Residents.
- No harassment. Apply the same moderation standards you would expect applied to yourself.
4. Content you create
You retain copyright in content you create in your channel (guides, posts, moderator messages). You grant the platform operator a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, distribute, translate, modify for moderation, and sublicense within the CommUnity OS network.
5. Moderation duties
You are responsible for moderating your channel. You must remove content that violates the Resident Terms of Service or these Lead Terms. You must maintain a good-faith moderation log for material takedowns.
6. No representations beyond these terms
The platform is provided AS IS. The platform operator and your Operator are not responsible for the acts or omissions of Leads. Your Operator may impose additional rules; Operator rules do not override these terms except where stricter.
7. Termination
The platform operator or your Operator may suspend or terminate your Lead status at any time for breach of these terms or for any reason consistent with the Operator Agreement. On termination, your channel content may be preserved, transferred to Operator, or deleted per the Operator Agreement.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the platform operator's aggregate liability to you under these terms is limited to $100. You and the platform operator waive class-action participation in any dispute arising from these terms.
9. Governing law
Illinois. Venue: Cook County.
