1. Acceptance and purpose
These draft terms describe use of the public website of Mack Community Housing Program, an Illinois 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Once finalized and effective, using this site will mean you agree to these terms, subject to applicable law. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. The site provides general information about the organization and its planned services; it is not legal, medical, financial, mental-health, or other professional advice. Seek appropriate qualified assistance for your circumstances.
2. Program information and no guarantee
Program descriptions, eligibility information, and proposed goals are informational and may change. Visiting the site or, once available, submitting a Get Help or contact inquiry does not guarantee housing, rental assistance, funding, placement, enrollment, or continued services. It does not create a client, case-management, fiduciary, landlord-tenant, attorney-client, medical, or other professional relationship. The organization may determine eligibility and available services based on program criteria, available funding and resources, housing availability, and capacity, subject to applicable law and organizational policies. Current website forms are inactive and do not send or store inquiries.
3. Emergencies and safety
This website is not an emergency service and is not monitored for urgent requests. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. For privacy and safety, do not put abuse narratives, alleged abuser information, Social Security numbers, medical records, financial account credentials, or exact confidential locations into initial website forms. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
4. Donations
Donations on this website are voluntary and are processed by a third-party payment provider under its own terms and privacy practices. Mack Community Housing Program does not receive or store your full payment-card details. Any tax deductibility depends on applicable law and the donor’s circumstances; consult your tax adviser. Receipts and any refund requests are governed by the payment provider’s practices and by any donation policy made available on this website. This draft makes no promise about refunds or recurring gifts.
5. Acceptable use
Use this site lawfully and respectfully. Do not interfere with its operation or security; attempt unauthorized access; introduce harmful code; submit unlawful, threatening, deceptive, or infringing material; impersonate someone else; or misuse inquiry channels to solicit or harass others. We may restrict misuse consistent with applicable law.
6. Site content and your submissions
Unless otherwise noted, the site’s text, branding, and other original content belong to Mack Community Housing Program or their respective rights holders and are protected by applicable law. You may view and share links for personal, informational use; no broader license is granted. If secure forms become available, you retain any rights you have in what you submit. You give the organization only the limited permission reasonably necessary to receive, process, store as needed, and respond to your inquiry consistent with the Privacy Policy. Do not submit content you lack authority to share.
7. Third-party services and site changes
Third-party links or services, if present, are operated by others and may have separate terms and privacy policies; linking does not necessarily endorse them. We may update, suspend, or discontinue site content or features, subject to applicable law. We aim for accurate information but cannot promise uninterrupted access or that all content will be complete, current, or error-free.
8. Disclaimers and liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its general information are provided without warranties, express or implied, including warranties of availability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing here limits rights or duties that cannot legally be limited. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mack Community Housing Program will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from use of or inability to use this website. This does not attempt to waive liability that applicable law does not allow to be waived, including liability for conduct that cannot lawfully be disclaimed.
9. Responsibility for misuse
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for reasonable claims, losses, or costs arising from your unlawful use of the site or material you submit in violation of these terms. This provision does not require you to indemnify the organization for its own wrongdoing or waive rights that cannot legally be waived.
10. Governing law, severability, and changes
These terms are intended to be governed by Illinois law, and any permitted dispute concerning the website would be addressed in courts with appropriate jurisdiction in Illinois, in each case subject to applicable law. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent permitted by law. We may revise these terms; the effective date above will be set at launch and updated as appropriate when changes take effect. This document remains a Draft for Legal Review until attorney-reviewed.
