Last updated: 22 February 2025

This policy applies to all equally, including sponsors, donors, advertisers, and external link targets -- in short, third-parties.

  1. Separate Legal Entities: Kicksecure always remains a completely separate entity from all third-parties.
  2. Non-Influence Declaration: All third-parties explicitly acknowledge that their contributions, whether monetary or non-monetary, do not entitle them to any form of influence over the Kicksecure project's development, direction, policy, or governance. The Kicksecure team retains full autonomy and makes all project decisions independently, without any external influence.
  3. Conflict of Interest: The project team is committed to maintaining independence and will take appropriate measures to ensure that third-parties do not compromise the project's integrity.
  4. No Endorsement: Acceptance of links to third-parties does not constitute an endorsement of the third-party's products, services, or viewpoints by the Kicksecure project. Any links or advertisements displayed are for informational purposes only and do not reflect the views of the project or its team. The Non-Endorsement policy applies.
  5. No Liability: The Kicksecure project and its team members are not liable for any actions, claims, or damages resulting from the use of third-party related products or services. Users are encouraged to conduct their own research and make informed decisions when interacting with third-party content.
  6. Sponsor Review Process: All third-party links undergo a cursory review process to ensure they align with the Kicksecure project's values and do not conflict with the project's mission or legal obligations. Any third-parties that could potentially compromise the project's objectives will be declined.
  7. Compliance with Laws: All third-parties will comply with applicable local and international laws, including those related to advertising, data protection, and intellectual property. The Kicksecure project will not engage with third-parties that operate in violation of these laws.
  8. Termination Rights: Any third-parties that undergo detrimental changes after the initial review will be re-evaluated by the Kicksecure team upon becoming aware of the situation. The Kicksecure project reserves the right to terminate any links to third-parties at any time if it is determined that the third-party's actions or products are inconsistent with the project's values, mission, or legal obligations.
  9. Indemnification: Third-parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Kicksecure project, its team members, and affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from their relationship with the project, if applicable.
  10. Changes to Third-Parties Policy: The Kicksecure project reserves the right to modify its third-party policies and practices at any time. Any changes will be reflected on this page and will apply to all future links to third-parties.
