Free to use, and yours to keep.

These are the terms for humanshaped.org and the Human Shaped add-on for Google Meet, kept short so that you can read all of them.

It is free, and it is offered as it is.

Anyone can learn and lead here, so humanshaped.org, its cohorts, and the Human Shaped add-on for Google Meet are free, with no paid tier and nothing to buy. The cost of that choice is that it is run by a few people rather than a company with a support desk, so it is offered as it is, without a promise that it will always be available or free of mistakes, and, as far as the law allows, we are not responsible for losses that come from using it.

What you make is yours.

Your code, your app, and your repositories stay in your own GitHub account under whatever license you choose. Posting a bring-back, feedback, or a comment here does not give us ownership of it. You give us only the permission the site needs in order to show it to the people you shared it with, for as long as you leave it here.

The site's own pages, the method, and the template are shared under open licenses, so you can borrow anything here on those terms.

The principles we build by.

Being here means building by the Human-Shaped Principles and the rules your cohort sets for itself. Please do not use the site or the add-on to harass anyone, to share someone else's private information, to post anything unlawful, or to get around the rules about who can see what. When those rules are broken, we may take someone out of a cohort or close their account.

GitHub's and Google's own terms also apply when you use GitHub for sign-in and conversation, and Google Meet for live sessions.

If you lead here.

Anyone may ask to lead, and a leader agrees to look after what their learners share, to say so before a session is recorded and give people a way to stay out of frame, and never to use what they see here for anything but the cohort.

Your information.

What the site keeps about you, who can see it, and when it goes away are on the privacy page. You can leave a cohort or delete your account at any time from your account page.

Questions, and changes to these terms.

Write to meet@humanshaped.org or ask in the discussions on GitHub. If these terms change, the change will be dated here and visible in the site's public history on GitHub.
