Terms of Use
Version 2026-09-20 · Applies when presented for acceptance.
Read this before joining. Save or print the complete version.
1. Directory operators
The Widows Sons Directory is provided by The Two Burning Tapers Podcast and administered by Shawn Parker and Casey Marrillia (the operators, we, or us). Contact bowhunter11@gmail.com. These terms govern this app, not membership in a lodge, chapter, or other organization. A listing, logo, office, or badge does not establish endorsement by, or authority to speak for, a Grand Lodge or every Widows Sons organization.
2. Eligibility and honest participation
You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter this agreement. Supply accurate information and keep your chapter, role, contact details, and standing current. Sign-in and membership approval are separate requirements. Do not impersonate anyone, share accounts, sell access, publicly distribute private invitations, or fabricate endorsements. Approve only people you can honestly verify. Administrators may enter information only with permission and cannot sign this agreement for another member.
3. Protect fellow members
Use the directory for legitimate member connections. Do not scrape, bulk export, sell, republish, or use member information for unsolicited advertising, harassment, stalking, threats, discrimination, fraud, or other unlawful activity. Do not disclose another person's private details or screenshots without permission or another lawful basis. Do not bypass access controls. Report suspected abuse through the in-app Safety and reports tool or Support. Members may be removed from this app for abuse, ineligibility, or serious safety concerns under the published administrator, president, or three-member process.
4. Your content and permissions
You retain your rights to submitted content. You grant the operators a nonexclusive, royalty-free license to store, resize, format, and display it only as reasonably necessary to run, protect, and maintain the directory, subject to the Privacy Notice and applicable law. You must have the necessary rights and permissions, including those of identifiable people where required. Do not upload confidential lodge material, private financial records, unlawful content, or content infringing others' rights. This license does not authorize podcast advertising using your likeness. Removing content ends ordinary display, subject to lawful retention, backups, and activity records described in the Privacy Notice.
5. Approvals and digital dues cards
Approvals, offices, badges, and digital cards reflect app records supplied by members or administrators. They are not background checks, guarantees of identity or conduct, or independent proof of paid dues. App access and chapter dues are different matters. Verify official standing and payment with the responsible chapter or lodge. Screenshots may be outdated; live QR verification reports the app's record at the time checked and may still contain errors.
6. Events and riding safety
An event listing does not make the operators its organizer, insurer, sponsor, or safety inspector. Confirm venue, dates, costs, requirements, and cancellations with the organizer. Maps may be approximate or incorrect. Riding and attending events involve risks, including serious injury, property loss, and death. Follow the law, use appropriate protective equipment, and never operate the app while driving or riding. These terms are not an event waiver or insurance policy and do not replace organizer requirements or waive legally protected claims.
7. Access and moderation
We may restrict access or remove content when reasonably necessary to protect members, investigate misuse, enforce these terms, comply with law, or reflect changed membership standing. Safety or security may require action without advance notice. Ask Support to review a mistake and provide relevant information. Directory decisions do not determine outside chapter or lodge membership. Approval and removal history may remain as described in the Privacy Notice. We do not promise to review every post or detect every problem.
8. Availability and limits of responsibility
To the extent applicable law permits, the app is provided as available without promises of uninterrupted service, perfect accuracy, or complete security, and without implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or noninfringement. To that same extent, the operators are not liable for indirect or consequential losses from reliance on member submissions, third-party services, or interruptions. These limits do not exclude liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing here removes our legal duties to protect personal information. You remain responsible for your unlawful actions; no blanket release of all claims is required.
9. Other services and ownership
Sign-in, hosting, maps, podcast platforms, and linked sites may have separate terms and privacy practices. We do not control their availability or content. App materials and third-party marks remain their owners' property. Permission to use this app does not transfer ownership of branding or another member's content. Report suspected infringement through Support, identifying the material and your rights.
10. Electronic signature and copies
Read the Terms and Privacy Notice before signing. An unchecked acknowledgement, your typed full name, and Agree and continue record your intention to sign electronically. Consent covers this agreement and future versions presented for acceptance, not marketing or a waiver of privacy rights. You need internet access and a browser that displays these pages; save or print a copy from the version page. Ask Support for a copy, accessibility help, or a paper-signing alternative; any paper-copy charge will be disclosed before you agree to it. You can decline and leave, or contact Support to withdraw electronic consent for future agreements or close your directory account. Withdrawal does not invalidate earlier acceptance, prevent privacy requests, or terminate outside chapter membership. Update contact details through your profile or Support.
11. Changes and disputes
Material changes require a new recorded acceptance before continued member access. They do not retroactively rewrite prior agreement records. Contact Support to try to resolve concerns, but this is not a prerequisite to exercising legal rights or meeting deadlines. Mandatory local law and access to courts and regulators remain available. An unenforceable provision does not invalidate the rest to the extent lawful. These terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or a class-action waiver.
