Pars Equality Center Terms of Use

Last updated: November 2026

Welcome to the website of Pars Equality Center ("Pars Equality Center," "we," "us" or "our"), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. These Terms of Use apply to parsequalitycenter.org and any related pages, forms and online services we operate (together, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

General Information, Not Legal Advice

Content on this website, including articles, press releases, newsletters, events and program descriptions, is provided for general information only. It is not legal, financial, medical or mental health advice, and it may not reflect the most current law or policy. Immigration law changes often and every situation is different.

Using this website, sending us a message or booking an appointment does not by itself create an attorney-client or representative-client relationship with Pars Equality Center. That relationship begins only after Pars Equality Center confirms it with you in writing. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through website forms.

Appointments and Services

Appointment requests, event registrations and program applications are subject to availability and eligibility. Some scheduling, registration and payment tools on this website are provided by third parties and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Submitting a request does not guarantee that a service will be provided.

Donations

Donations are processed by third-party payment providers. Pars Equality Center is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. If you believe a donation was made in error, please contact us and we will review your request.

Acceptable Use

When using the Services, you agree not to:

  • Break any applicable law or regulation, or encourage others to do so.
  • Submit false, misleading or impersonating information.
  • Upload or transmit malicious code, or try to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems.
  • Interfere with the operation of the Services or with other visitors' use of them.
  • Collect information about other visitors, or use automated means to access the Services in a way that places an unreasonable load on them.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, the content on this website, including text, graphics, logos, photographs and design, is owned by or licensed to Pars Equality Center and is protected by copyright and trademark law. You may view, download and print content for personal, noncommercial use. Any other use requires our prior written permission.

Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may link to or embed content from websites and services that we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, availability or practices, and a link does not mean we endorse them. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pars Equality Center makes no warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the accuracy, completeness or availability of the Services.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Pars Equality Center and its directors, staff and volunteers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Services.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and share personal information. By using the Services, you also agree to the Privacy Policy.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
