Last Updated: November 10, 2025
These terms of use (“Terms”) set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Battle Tested Foundation (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) website (“Website”) and the other services, features, content and applications offered by us on the Website. The Website and the other services, features, content and applications offered by us on the Website may each be referred to herein as a “Service” and collectively as the “Services.”
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY IF YOU WISH TO USE OUR SERVICES. BY USING OUR SERVICES, YOU CONSENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. THESE TERMS INCLUDE IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON YOUR RIGHTS TO SUE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR SERVICES.
The Services are offered and available to users who are eighteen (18) years of age or older, and reside in the United States or any of its territories or possessions. By using these Services, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Services.
FOR NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS: Notwithstanding any term herein, these Terms do not limit your rights or our obligations under any applicable statute or law, including types and amounts of recovery; nor do they excuse us from any duty to avoid causing harm by means of gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct; nor do they disclaim our duty of care to our invitees; nor do they require you to defend and indemnify us in the event that any loss is caused by our negligence.
1. Privacy:
Please see our Privacy Notice, located at [battletestedfoundation.org/privacy-notice] (“Privacy Notice”), for information and disclosures relating to the collection and use of your Personal Information, as defined therein, and any other data in connection with your use of the Services. The Privacy Notice is incorporated by reference into these Terms.
2. Changes to the Terms:
We may revise and update these Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions regarding jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Website.
Your continued use of the Services following the posting of revised Terms means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you. We will also indicate at the top of this document the dates of any revisions to these Terms.
3. Accessing the Services and Account Security:
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend our Services, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services are unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict user access to some parts of the Services or all of the Services.
You are responsible for both:
· Making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Services.
· Ensuring that all persons who access the Services through your internet connection are aware of these Terms and comply with them.
To access the Services or some of the resources it offers, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all the information you provide on the Services is correct, current, and complete. You agree that all information you provide to register with this Services or otherwise, including, but not limited to, through the use of any interactive features on the Services, is governed by our Privacy Notice, and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Notice.
If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password, or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to this Services or portions of it using your username, password, or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.
We have the right to disable any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including (without limitation) if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms.
4. Public Forums and Your Submissions
The Services may provide chat rooms, forums, message boards, blog feeds, news groups and/or other interactive tools to its users including links to third-party websites, applications or third-party “plug-ins.” You are solely responsible for the information, data, opinions, descriptions, photos, profiles, messages, “shouts,” comments, reviews, text, location information and all other content that you upload, publish, modify, or display on or through our Services or transmit to or share with us and other users (collectively, the “User Content”).
By uploading, publishing, modifying or displaying User Content to any part of our Services, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to us an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part), transmit, and distribute such User Content for any purpose on or in connection with the Services.
You represent and warrant that your User Content will not contain any material that: (i) is false, inaccurate, or misleading; (ii) infringes any third party’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy; (iii) violates any law or regulation; (iv) is defamatory, constitutes trade libel or product disparagement, or is unlawfully threatening, harassing, or contains hate speech; (v) is obscene or contains pornography; or (vi) contains any computer programming routines such as viruses, Trojan horses, time bombs, or other malicious code or programs that may damage or interfere with the operation of any system, or unlawfully intercept any data or personal information.
You understand and agree that we do not verify or vouch for any such content and if we determine, in our sole discretion, that any User Content is inaccurate, was posted or uploaded without authorization, or otherwise does or may violate these Terms or applicable laws, we reserve the right, at any time, without prior notice and without limiting any and all other rights we may have, at law or in equity, to: (a) modify, refuse, or remove the User Content; (b) revoke the applicable user’s right to use any or all of our Services; (c) use any technological, legal, operational, or other means available to us to enforce the provisions of these Terms, including, without limitation, blocking specific Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or deactivating the applicable user’s registration; (d) disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that material posted by you violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy; and/or (e) take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services. Please note, if we delete any information provided by you, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying a recycle bin on a computer and you acknowledge that any removed information or content may persist in backup copies or may be imbedded in the Service as aggregate data.
