illumine.earth Ecosystem Community Agreement & Terms of Participation

Welcome to the illumine.earth Ecosystem. This agreement outlines our shared values, expectations, and legal terms, ensuring we co-create a trusted, confidential, and catalytic space for all members.

Our Commitment to Each Other

Confidentiality & Trust:
We operate under Chatham House rules: what is shared here stays here, fostering candid, open dialogue.

Respect & Professionalism:
Treat all members with respect and kindness. Member preferences and boundaries, as stated in profiles, are to be honored.

Inclusivity & Accessibility:
We welcome diversity and strive for intergenerational, cross-sector inclusion. If you have specific needs, please let us know so we can support your participation.

Authentic Engagement:
Participate thoughtfully and genuinely to enable catalytic connections and meaningful collaboration.

No Solicitation:
Direct pitching, selling, or promotion is not allowed. A three-strike policy applies for solicitation breaches; repeated violations result in permanent removal.

Abundance:
Contribute insight, support, and resources freely and without extraction—this is a space for generosity, not transactions.

Impactful Collaboration:
Should collaborations arise, due diligence, compliance, and outcomes are each participant’s own responsibility and not that of illumine.earth LLC.

Competition Law & Antitrust Compliance:
You agree to abide by competition law. illumine.earth LLC is not liable for any breach. If we observe risk, we may pause or end conversations and seek advice as needed.

Data Privacy:
Personal information is handled per our Privacy Policy and not shared outside the platform except as required by law. If we use a third-party platform/payment processor, their terms also apply.

Intellectual Property:
Content you share remains yours. By posting, you grant other members permission to reference or discuss your contributions inside the community only; no one may reproduce or distribute your content externally without your written consent.
