1. Scope

These Terms of Use govern your use of the Green Cloud Nine Community website, including its educational and editorial content, articles, downloadable materials, information about books and other resources, workshop and event information, and other content made available through the website.

These Terms of Use do not constitute general terms and conditions for the purchase of goods or services.

Where specific terms apply to a particular activity, event, workshop, membership or other offering, those terms will apply in addition to these Website Terms of Use and, where applicable, take precedence over these general website provisions.

2. Website Content and Educational Purpose

The content provided on this website is intended primarily for general educational and informational purposes.

The Green Cloud Nine Community aims to provide practical, accessible and useful information relating to sustainability, sustainable living, environmental awareness, resource conservation and related topics.

Although we make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and up-to-date information, we do not guarantee that all content is complete, current or error-free.

Information published on the website should not be understood as professional, legal, financial, medical, technical or other specialist advice. Where professional advice is required, you should consult an appropriately qualified professional.

3. Permitted Use

You may access and use the website for lawful personal, educational and informational purposes.

You must not:

• use the website or its content for unlawful purposes;

• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its systems or related services;
• reproduce, distribute, modify or commercially exploit website content without the required permission;
• remove copyright notices or other proprietary notices from materials;
• use automated systems to systematically copy or extract substantial amounts of website content, unless expressly permitted by law or authorised by us.

You remain responsible for ensuring that your use of the website complies with applicable laws.

4. Downloadable Materials and Educational Resources

The website may provide downloadable guides, worksheets, activities, educational materials and other resources, including materials intended for use with children or in educational settings.

Unless otherwise stated, these materials may be downloaded and used for personal, educational or non-commercial purposes.

You may print and share such materials for legitimate educational or personal use, provided that the materials are not altered in a misleading way and that copyright and attribution notices are retained.

Commercial reproduction, resale, substantial modification or incorporation into another commercial product or service requires our prior written permission unless otherwise permitted by law.

5. External Links and Third-Party Websites

The website may contain links to websites, online shops, organisations, platforms, books, products or other resources operated by third parties.

These links are provided for information, convenience or educational purposes. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices, terms or services.

Your use of a third-party website is subject to that provider's own terms and policies.

The inclusion of a link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement, recommendation or guarantee of the third-party provider or its products or services.

6. Affiliate Links

Some links on the website may be affiliate links.

Where an affiliate relationship exists, the Green Cloud Nine Community may receive a commission or other remuneration if you make a purchase or take another qualifying action after following the link.

Using an affiliate link generally does not result in any additional cost to you. The price you pay is determined by the third-party provider.

Affiliate relationships do not determine the editorial purpose of our educational content. Where we recommend or discuss a resource, our aim is to provide useful information based on its relevance to the subject matter.

Affiliate programmes may include, among others, the Amazon Associates Programme and the Awin affiliate network.

Once you leave our website and visit a third-party website, that provider's own terms, privacy policy and tracking technologies apply.

Further information about the processing of personal data and cookies associated with affiliate links is provided in our Privacy Policy.

The website may present or recommend books, educational resources and other materials created by the Green Cloud Nine Community, its members or third parties.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, purchases of such products are made through the relevant external provider and not directly through the Green Cloud Nine Community website.

We are not responsible for the ordering process, delivery, payment, returns, refunds, availability or customer service of third-party providers.

The contractual relationship for such purchases is between you and the relevant provider.

8. Workshops, Events and Activities

The Green Cloud Nine Community may organise or advertise workshops, seminars, lectures, webinars, educational activities and other events.

Participation in an event may be subject to separate registration requirements and Workshop and Event Participation Terms.

Those terms may contain specific provisions regarding registration, fees, payment, cancellation, refunds, participation, online access, photography, recordings, minors and other event-specific matters.

Where separate participation terms apply, they form part of the conditions applicable to that particular event.

9. Membership

The Green Cloud Nine Community may offer membership to the association.

Membership of the association is governed by the association's statutes and any applicable membership rules or decisions of the competent association bodies.

Information provided on the website about membership is for general information only and does not replace the association's statutes or applicable legal provisions.

The rights and obligations of members are determined in accordance with the statutes of the Green Cloud Nine Community and applicable Austrian law.

10. Donations

The Green Cloud Nine Community may provide information about ways to support its activities through donations or other voluntary contributions.

Any specific conditions relating to a donation method or payment provider will be communicated separately where necessary.

Donations are voluntary contributions to support the association's statutory purposes and are not payments for goods unless expressly stated otherwise.

You are responsible for ensuring that information you submit is lawful, accurate and does not infringe the rights of third parties.

You must not submit content that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, discriminatory, misleading, invasive of another person's privacy or otherwise inappropriate.

If you voluntarily submit material for possible publication or use by the Green Cloud Nine Community, you retain ownership of your intellectual property unless otherwise agreed.

By submitting material for publication, you confirm that you have the necessary rights to do so and that the material does not infringe the rights of third parties.

We are not obliged to publish or use material submitted to us.

12. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise indicated, the content of this website, including text, photographs, graphics, logos, illustrations, educational materials, downloadable resources, layout and other original material, is protected by applicable copyright and other intellectual property laws.

The rights belong to the Green Cloud Nine Community or to the respective third-party rights holder.

Nothing on this website grants you ownership of or unrestricted rights to use such content.

Any use beyond what is expressly permitted by these Terms of Use or by applicable law requires the prior permission of the relevant rights holder.

13. Website Availability and Technical Issues

We aim to keep the website available and functioning properly, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

The website may occasionally be unavailable due to maintenance, technical problems, security measures, updates, circumstances beyond our control or other reasons.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend or discontinue parts of the website or individual services where reasonably necessary.

14. Liability

We make reasonable efforts to provide reliable and useful information. However, we do not guarantee that the website or its content will always be accurate, complete, current, available or free from errors or technical defects.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Green Cloud Nine Community is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of, or inability to use, the website or information provided through it.

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is not permitted under applicable law.

In particular, these Terms of Use do not exclude or limit liability for damage resulting from intentional or grossly negligent conduct where such exclusion or limitation would be legally impermissible, nor do they affect mandatory statutory rights.

You use information and resources provided through the website at your own responsibility and should assess whether they are appropriate for your individual circumstances.

The date of the most recent update is shown at the beginning of these Terms of Use.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain unaffected.

The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced, to the extent legally permissible, by a provision that most closely reflects the purpose of the original provision.

18. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules to the extent legally permissible.

For consumers, mandatory statutory consumer protection provisions and applicable jurisdiction rules remain unaffected.

Where legally permissible, the competent courts in Austria shall have jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms of Use.
