Terms of Service for Enrollment

The People Foundation Organization

By enrolling in The People Foundation Organization’s online community service program ("Program"), you ("Participant") agree to the following terms and conditions:

Program Overview

The People Foundation Organization provides self-paced, educational, and reflective community service courses that allow participants to earn documented community service hours. Each course is professionally developed and includes reading, video or audio material, timed tracking, and reflection-based assessments.

Eligibility

Enrollment is open to individuals who are:

  • Interested in doing community services
  • At least 18 years old, or 13 years old with parental consent
  • Able to access the program via a device with internet access

Participants are responsible for ensuring that the program meets the requirements of their specific jurisdiction or assigning authority before completing hours.

No Cheating Policy

Participants are expected to complete all coursework honestly and independently. Cheating of any kind is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Having someone else complete lessons or assignments on your behalf
  • Attempting to hack, manipulate, or bypass time-tracking or assessment features
  • Submitting false or copied responses
  • Using AI tools or unauthorized assistance to answer reflective questions

Any form of cheating is a violation of this agreement and may result in account suspension without refund. Depending on the nature of the offense, certain actions may also constitute fraud or computer crimes under applicable law.

Jurisdictional Acceptance

The People Foundation provides verifiable documentation, including certified hour logs and completion certificates. While the Program is broadly accepted nationwide, acceptance and application of such documentation remain solely within the discretion of your supervising authority. You are encouraged to present all provided documentation to the appropriate authority to confirm that the Program satisfies the terms of their service requirement.

Money-Back Guarantee

If your local agency does not accept The People Foundation Organization’s program after you enroll, you may be eligible for a full refund as long as you have attempted a good faith effort to comply with all our Terms of Service, including the No Cheating Policy

Participants who are found to have violated the No Cheating Policy or attempting to manipulate the system — are not eligible for a refund under this policy. In such cases, The People Foundation reserves the right to suspend the participant’s account and revoke access to all course materials and certification documents. This guarantee is intended to protect participants who make an honest effort to complete their service hours but are denied acceptance solely due to jurisdictional restrictions — not due to misconduct or misuse of the program. To request a refund, please contact us with your name, order details, and documentation of non-acceptance.

Time Tracking and Certificates

All participant activity is tracked, logged, and stored electronically. Upon successful completion, participants receive a Signed Certificate of Completion and Certified HourLog Report reflecting hours worked. These documents are printable and available for official use.

Code of Conduct

Participants agree to:

  • Submit original, thoughtful responses to all reflective questions
  • Not misuse, copy, or distribute course materials
  • Not falsify time logs or completion data
  • Not to attempt to circumvent the rules of the program

Violations may result in suspension of access without refund.

Intellectual Property

All content, lessons, materials, and documentation are the exclusive property of The People Foundation Organization and may not be copied, distributed, or used for commercial purposes without written consent.

Privacy

We collect only the data necessary to verify enrollment, time tracking, and certificate issuance. Personal data is stored securely and is never sold or shared with third parties except as required by law.

Communication Policy

By enrolling in our program, you agree that The People Foundation may contact you via email or text message for purposes related to your participation, including reminders, account updates, support communications, and important program information. These communications are intended to enhance your experience and help you complete your service successfully. You may opt out of non-essential text or email notifications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the message.

Children’s Privacy and COPPA Compliance

The People Foundation is committed to protecting the privacy of children. In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), our services are not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13. By using this site, you affirm that you are at least 13 years old or that you are the parent or legal guardian of a minor authorized to use the platform under supervision. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will promptly delete such information from our records. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information through our platform may contact us to review or request the deletion of that data.

Foreign Users

The People Foundation’s website, information, and online community service program are intended solely for individuals located within the United States of America. By accessing or using this platform, you represent and warrant that you are physically present in the United States and that your use of the program complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws. We do not offer or support participation from individuals located outside of the United States of America, and any use of our services by non-U.S. residents is unauthorized and at the user's own risk.

Chargebacks and Disputes

Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute for a valid transaction is strictly prohibited and constitutes a violation of our Terms of Service. By enrolling in The People Foundation Organization’s program, you agree to use our internal refund request process if dissatisfied. Unauthorized disputes may result in account suspension and could be referred for legal review. Fraudulent chargebacks—where services were accessed or knowingly purchased—may be reported to appropriate authorities.

Modifications to Terms

The People Foundation Organization reserves the right to update or modify these terms at any time. Continued participation in the program after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Service Availability & Downtime

While we strive to provide uninterrupted access to our platform, The People Foundation does not guarantee continuous, error-free operation or access at all times. From time to time, the website or service may be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, system upgrades, technical issues, server outages, or circumstances beyond our control.
