Terms of Use

1. Purpose of the Reporting System

The Reporting System is provided to allow individuals to report in good faith: misconduct, safeguarding concerns, fraud or financial wrongdoing, governance violations, pinkwashing, unauthorized use of the PinkRibbon name or logo, and ethical or legal concerns related to PinkRibbon or its affiliates.

This system is intended for serious concerns related to PinkRibbon's operations, programs, brand, or personnel.

2. Good Faith Requirement

All reports must be submitted in good faith. By submitting a report, you confirm that the information provided is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge, that you are not knowingly submitting false, misleading, defamatory, or malicious information, and that the report is not being used for harassment, retaliation, or personal disputes unrelated to PinkRibbon governance or safeguarding.

PinkRibbon reserves the right to take appropriate action in cases of knowingly false or abusive submissions.

3. Not for Emergencies

The Reporting System is not an emergency service. If you believe someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or law enforcement.

PinkRibbon does not provide crisis counseling, medical services, or emergency intervention through this platform.

4. Confidentiality & Anonymity

Reports may be submitted anonymously. PinkRibbon will treat reports confidentially to the extent reasonably possible, share information only with individuals who have a legitimate need to know, and take reasonable measures to protect the identity of reporting persons.

However, confidentiality cannot be absolutely guaranteed, particularly where disclosure is required by law, legal proceedings arise, or law enforcement involvement becomes necessary.

5. No Attorney-Client or Advisory Relationship

Submission of a report does not create an attorney-client relationship, a contractual relationship, guarantee investigation or specific outcomes, or create a duty of care beyond applicable law. PinkRibbon reserves sole discretion regarding the handling, investigation, and resolution of reports.

6. Data Protection & Privacy

Personal information submitted through the Reporting System will be processed in accordance with PinkRibbon's Privacy Policy, applicable U.S. federal and New York State laws, GDPR (where applicable), and other relevant international data protection regulations.

7. Intellectual Property & Brand Protection Reports

If submitting a report regarding pinkwashing, unauthorized use of the PinkRibbon logo, trademark infringement, or false affiliation claims, you acknowledge that PinkRibbon may pursue enforcement actions at its discretion.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PinkRibbon shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of the Reporting System.

9. Jurisdiction & Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts located in New York.

10. Modifications

PinkRibbon reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updated versions will be posted with a revised effective date.
