October, 2025 Version
LovingVoices.com® is owned by LovingVoices.com®, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (collectively hereinafter “LovingVoices®”).
LovingVoices® builds Platforms, technologies and Services that enable people to connect with each other, build communities, make money, and grow businesses. These Terms govern your use of LovingVoices®, and its Platforms, Products, and Services and any other related features, apps, technologies, software, and systems, without limitation, that we offer, except where we expressly state that separate terms (and not these) apply. These Platforms, Products, Services and Systems are provided to you by LovingVoices® (collectively hereinafter, “LovingVoices® Platforms, Products and Services” or just “Platforms, Products and Services”).
Except for the charge or charges for posting a notice(s) or subscriptions for monitoring and being notified of certain types of notices you or your organization or business want to follow, we don't charge you to use (e.g., view notices or ads posted on LovingVoices® through your own searches there) LovingVoices® or the Platforms, Products and Services, without limitation, covered by these Terms. Note that individuals, businesses and organizations pay us to show you ads for their products and services. By using our Platforms, Products and Services, you agree that we can show you ads that we think will be of relevant to you and your interests. We use your personal data to help determine which ads to show you.
We don't sell your personal data to advertisers, and we don't share information that directly identifies you (such as your name, email address or other contact information) with advertisers unless you give us specific permission. Instead, advertisers can tell us things like the kind of audience they want to see their ads, and we show those ads to people who may be interested. We provide advertisers with reports about the performance of their ads that help them understand how people are interacting with their content. We do sell non-specific and non-private data about our users, the type of postings they make or type of notices and ads they typically post, but a third party cannot see or know who the specific person or entity posting the notice(s) is or are.
The LovingVoices® Data and Privacy Policy (found elsewhere on our site) explains how we collect, protect and use your personal data to determine some of the ads you see and provide all of the other Platforms, Products and Services described below. You can also go to your settings at any time to review the privacy choices you have about how we use your data.
LovingVoices® is a platform where people and organizations can post notices, ads or information to the public. Additionally, in the near future, you will be able to be notified of notices others post from people and organizations you wish to follow or whose published (through their notices) activities you wish to follow, if you pay a modest subscription fee. On the LovingVoices® website, we provide the Platforms, and Products described below to you:
We use the data we have - for example, about the notices, ads and postings you make, the choices and settings you select, and what you share and do on and off our Platforms, Products and Services - to personalize your experience and to improve our platform.
Follow types of notices, people posting notices organizations who post notices relevant to you:
We help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organizations, and others that matter to you across the LovingVoices® Platforms, Products and Services you use by the rollout of a subscription feature to be able to be informed when certain types of notices and notices relating to certain people or organizations in which you or your company has an interest, are posted. We may use the data we have to make suggestions for you and others - for example, groups to join, events to attend that might interest you, pages to follow or send a message to, shows to watch, and people and businesses you may want to connect with. Synergistic connections make for better business and personal communities, and we believe our Platforms, Products and Services are most useful when people are connected to people, groups, and organizations they care about or with whom they share business and personal interests.
LovingVoices® helps post and, if you subscribe, get push alerts to discover, notices, ads, products, and services that may interest you or your organization:
We also show you ads, offers, and other sponsored content to help you discover content, products, and services that are offered by the many people, businesses, and organizations that use LovingVoices's® Platforms, Products and Services.
LovingVoices® is dedicated to combating harmful conduct and posted content, and protecting and supporting its users, its notice posters, and subscribers and persons and organizations visiting the site to view notices and ads in certain categories.
People will only use LovingVoices® if they feel safe. We employ people and measures and find or develop advanced technical systems to detect misuse of our Platforms, Platforms, Products and Services, and harmful conduct towards others, and situations where we may be able to help support or protect our community. If we learn of content or conduct like this --- and we strongly urge LovingVoices® users to report to us any misuse of posting notices or ads on or using Platforms, Products and Services of LovingVoices®, and we will take appropriate action once we become aware of such misuse. For example, the actions we may take may include but will not be limited to, offering help, removing content, removing or restricting access to certain features, disabling an account, or contacting law enforcement. We share data with other LovingVoices® Platforms, Products and Services and related entities when we detect misuse or harmful conduct by someone misusing the notice or ad facility of the site or misusing one of our Platforms or Products.
The Use and develop advanced technologies to provide safe and functional Services for everyone:
We may use and develop advanced technologies - such as artificial intelligence, machine learning systems, and augmented reality - so that people can use our Platforms, Services, and Products safely regardless of physical ability or geographic location.
We also are committed, as able, to build sophisticated network and communication technology to help more people connect to the internet in areas with limited access. And we plan to develop automated systems to improve our ability to detect and remove abusive and dangerous activity that may harm our community and the integrity of our Platforms, Services, and Products.
LovingVoices®, on an ongoing basis, researches ways to make our Platforms, Products and Services better:
We engage in research to develop, test, and improve our Platforms, Products and Services. This research includes analyzing the data we have about our users and understanding how people use our Platforms, Services, and Products, for example by conducting surveys and testing and troubleshooting existing and new features. Our Data and Privacy Policy explains how we use data to support this research for the purposes of developing and improving our Platforms, Platforms, Products and Services.
We strive to provide consistent and seamless experiences across the LovingVoices® Platform, Platforms, Products and Services:
Our Platforms, Platforms, Products and Services help you give notice to or of events and happenings to the public, find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organizations, and others that are important to you and your business. We design our systems so that your experience is the best we can provide across the different LovingVoices® Platforms, Platforms, Products and Services that you use.
Enable global access to LovingVoices® Platforms Platforms, Products and Services:
To operate our Platforms, Platforms, Products and Services, we need to store and distribute content and data in our data centers and systems that will be located, as we scale, around the world, including outside your country of residence. This infrastructure may be operated or controlled by LovingVoices.com®, LLC or its other domestic and/or foreign-based affiliates.
The notices that you post on LovingVoices®, either through using the LovingVoices® templates and just filling them in or by uploading a pdf notice you or your organization has already prepared, are paid for with a one-time payment for the term the notice is posted on LovingVoices®. A feature we have in development to be rolled out within the next eighteen months, which will allow LovingVoices® users to be notified of certain types of postings or postings by a specific business, organization or individual on LovingVoices®, for which subscription service there will be a yearly subscription cost. Beyond those two paid Products and Services on LovingVoices®, you may use the other Products and Services on LovingVoices® and by using the any or all of the LovingVoices® Platforms, Platforms, Products and Services covered by that use including posting notices, subscribing to follow notices of certain people and organizations, you thereby agree that you will abide by these Terms of Services and LovingVoices's® Data and Privacy Policy, and other policies and rules, without limitation, including agreeing that LovingVoices® can show you ads that businesses, organizations and individuals pay us to promote on and off the LovingVoices® Platforms, Products and Services. We use your personal and/or organizational data, such as information about your activity and interests, to show you ads that are more relevant to you.
Protecting people's and organizations' privacy is central to how we've designed our system for posting notices and ads, and providing subscriber alerts of notices and ads of interest to you, if you are a subscriber. This means that we can show you relevant and useful ads without telling advertisers and third party affiliates and providers who you are. We don't sell your personal data. We allow advertisers to tell us things like their business goal, and the kind of audience they want to see their ads (for example, people between the age of 18-45 who like concerts, without limitation). We then show their ad to users, posters and subscribers who might be interested.
We also provide advertisers with reports about the performance of their ads to help them understand how people and organizations are interacting with their content on and off LovingVoices®. For example, we provide general demographic and interest information to advertisers (for example, that an ad was seen by a woman between the ages of 25 and 40 who lives in Minnesota and is involved with and likes design and marketing matters) to help advertisers to better understand their audience. We don't share information that directly identifies you or your organization (information such as your name, address, phone, or email address that by itself can be used to contact you or identifies who you or your organization are) unless you give us specific permission to do so and you are not compelled to do so.
We collect and use your personal data internally in order to provide the Platforms, Products and Services described above or available on our Platforms, Products and Services as described more fully in the LovingVoices® Data and Privacy Policy found on our website.
We provide the LovingVoices® Platforms, Products and Services, without limitation, to you, your organization, our posters, subscribers, users, and others to help advance our business mission. In exchange, by your use of any aspect or facility of LovingVoices®, you make the following commitments and agreements:
When people truthfully stand behind their content, identifications and actions, LovingVoices® is more effective for all, safer and more accountable. For this reason, you must:
We try to make LovingVoices® broadly available to every person and business (profit or nonprofit), but you cannot use LovingVoices® if:
We want people to use LovingVoices® to promote their for-profit business efforts and nonprofit charitable activities and offerings, and to express themselves and to share content that is important to them, but not at the expense of the safety and well-being of others or the integrity of our community. You therefore agree not to engage in the conduct described below (or to facilitate or support others in doing so):
We can remove or restrict access to content that is in violation of the above restrictions, laws and provisions in these Terms and/or in our Data and Privacy Policy or other policies.
If we remove content that you have shared in violation of our Terms of Service or Data and Privacy Policy, or the law, without limitation, we'll let you know and explain any options you have to request another review, unless you seriously or repeatedly violate these Terms of Service or our Data and Privacy Policy or other policies, if doing so may expose us or others to legal liability; harm our community of users; compromise or interfere with the integrity or operation of any of our Platforms, Services, Systems or Products; where we are restricted due to technical limitations; or where we are prohibited from doing so for legal and/or safety reasons.
To help support our community, we encourage you to report content or conduct that you believe violates your rights (including civil rights, intellectual property rights, other laws) or our Terms of Service, or our Data and Privacy Policy, or other LovingVoices® policies and/or rules, or state and/or federal laws.
You affirm by using it on LovingVoices®, the intellectual property rights (things like copyright or trademarks) in any such content that you create and share on LovingVoices® and the other LovingVoices® Platforms, Products and Services you use are licensed to LovingVoices® as more specifically described in the next paragraph. Nothing in these Terms takes away the rights you have to your own content subject to the limited nonexclusive license granted LovingVoices® to use your content on its site. You are free to share your content with anyone else, wherever you want.
Specifically, when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights on or in connection with the posting of notices on LovingVoices's® Platforms, Products and/or Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and other settings). This means, for example, that if you share a photo on LovingVoices®, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) such as service providers that support our service or other LovingVoices® Platforms, Products and Services you use. This license will end the sooner of when your content is deleted from our systems or for as long as LovingVoices® exists as an e-commerce website.
You can delete content individually or all at once by deleting your account. Elsewhere on LovingVoices® you can learn about how to delete your account. You can download a copy of your data at any time before deleting your account.
When you delete content, it's no longer visible to other users, however it may continue to exist elsewhere on our systems where:
In each of the above cases, this license from user to LovingVoices® will continue until the content has been fully deleted.
If you use content covered by intellectual property rights that we have and make available in or on our Platforms, Products and/or Services (for example, images, designs, videos, or sounds, without limitation, that we provide that you add to content you create or share on LovingVoices®), we retain and reserve all rights to that content (but not yours). You can only use LovingVoices's patents (if any), copyrights or trademarks or other brand identifiers as expressly permitted by LovingVoices® in an advance with our prior written permission (email communicated permission will suffice). You must obtain our written permission (or permission under an open-source license) to modify, create derivative works of, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract source code from any LovingVoices® Platform, Product and/or Service or system, without limitation.
We work constantly to improve our Services and develop new features to make our Products better for you and our community. As a result, we may need to update these Terms from time to time to accurately reflect our Services and practices. Unless otherwise required by law, we will notify you before we make changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review them before they go into effect. Once any updated Terms are in effect, you will be bound by them if you continue to use our Products.
We hope that you will continue using our Products, but if you do not agree to our updated Terms and no longer want to be a part of the LovingVoices® community, you can delete your account at any time but the posting payment for any notice you have paid for that has already posted will not be refunded because you delete your account and the same is true of any subscription payments you have made to the date of the deletion of your account.
We want LovingVoices® to be a place where people feel welcome and safe to express themselves through their notices, ads, etc. If we determine that you have clearly, seriously or repeatedly breached our Terms of Service, or Data and Privacy Policy, or other LovingVoices® policies, including in particular our the LovingVoices® Community Standards, we may suspend or permanently disable access to your account. We may also suspend or disable your account if you repeatedly infringe other people's intellectual property rights or where we are required to do so for legal reasons, e.g., you or your organization has broken laws, without limitation.
Where we take such action we'll let you know and explain any options you have to request a review, unless doing so may expose us or others to legal liability; harm our community of users; compromise or interfere with the integrity or operation of any of our Platforms, Products, Services, and/or systems; or where we are restricted due to technical limitations; or where we are prohibited from doing so for legal reasons.
You can contact us through the website if you believe your account has been disabled or if you think we have disabled your account by mistake.
If you delete or we disable your account, these Terms shall terminate as an agreement between you and us, but the following provisions will remain in place: 3, 4.2-4.5.
We work hard to provide the best Products we can and to specify clear guidelines for everyone who uses them. Our Platforms, Products, Services, systems and software, without limitation, however, are provided "as is," and we make no guarantees that they always will be safe, secure, or error-free, or that they will function properly without disruptions, delays, or imperfections.

If a dispute does arise, however, it's useful to know up front where it can be resolved and what laws will apply.
