Terms of Service

Effective: October 6, 2026

1. About THE WALL

THE WALL is a community platform operated by Artists 4 Life in the Sound ("A4S") that connects donors with 501(c)(3) charitable organizations and provides access to contributed music, art, and local business deals ("the HOARD").

2. Organization Listings - Important Disclosure

Please Read Carefully

THE WALL features charitable organizations from multiple sources with different levels of vetting.

THE WALL features charitable organizations from multiple sources:

Stars 4 Peace Recommended Organizations: Some organizations listed on THE WALL are vetted and recommended by Stars 4 Peace, a 501(c)(3) project fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas.
Community-Submitted & Independently Added Organizations: Other organizations are submitted by community members through our referral system or added independently by A4S. These organizations have NOT been vetted by Stars 4 Peace.

You are responsible for conducting your own due diligence before making any donation. We encourage you to verify an organization's 501(c)(3) status, review their financials, and research their programs independently.

3. Resources Disclaimer

Some Resources are submitted by community members and have NOT been independently verified
THE WALL and A4S do NOT endorse, guarantee the accuracy of, or assume responsibility for any third-party Resources
Information may be outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate
For crisis situations, always contact official emergency services (911) or verified crisis hotlines directly

If you are in immediate danger, please call 911 or your local emergency services.

4. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

Artists 4 Life in the Sound, Stars 4 Peace, Fractured Atlas, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents ("Released Parties") shall NOT be liable for any:

Direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
Loss or damage arising from your use of or reliance on any organization listing, Resource, or content on THE WALL

Your violation of any third-party rights

6. Your content

You keep ownership of what you upload. You grant Artists 4 Life in the Sound a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, stream, publicly perform, display, reproduce and share your content on THE WALL's website, apps, newsletters and social media, to present your work and promote THE WALL. You confirm you own or control every right needed for this license, including for co-writers, labels, publishers and performing-rights organizations. You can remove your content at any time; the license ends 30 days after removal, except for copies in backups and posts already shared. Contributions are subject to review, and you remain responsible for the accuracy of what you provide. Mark music with explicit lyrics as Explicit.

Music and media embedded from other platforms (Bandcamp, YouTube, Spotify) is provided by those platforms under their terms. Copyright complaints: see our Copyright & Takedown page.

7. No Professional Advice

Nothing on THE WALL constitutes legal, financial, medical, or professional advice. Always consult qualified professionals for specific situations.

8. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA.

9. Eligibility and accounts

You must be 13 or older to create an account, and one account per person. Public pages are open to everyone.

10. Community rules

Do not: harass, threaten or stalk anyone; try to locate, identify or contact a person who has not agreed to contact; impersonate anyone; post hateful, sexually exploitative or illegal content; post spam or scams; upload content you do not own or control; or try to access other users' data or disrupt the platform.

Reporting and enforcement. Report content or users with the Report button or at thestarwall@icloud.com. We may remove content and suspend or close accounts that break these rules.

Messages are private between participants. We do not routinely read them, but we may review reported messages to keep people safe.

11. Donations and the HOARD

Donations go directly to each organization through its own donation page; THE WALL never receives or handles donation money. We cannot tell you whether a donation is tax-deductible: that depends on your situation and the value of any perks you receive, so check with a tax advisor. HOARD perks are provided by participating artists and businesses and may change.

Business offers. Each business is responsible for its own offers and agrees to honor them as posted. THE WALL is not a party to any purchase.

12. Termination

You can close your account at any time. We may suspend or end access for violations of these Terms.

13. Disputes

Contact us first and we will try to resolve any issue informally within 30 days. These Terms are governed by Washington law, and disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts for Pierce County, Washington.

14. Changes and general terms

We may modify these Terms; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the full agreement between you and Artists 4 Life in the Sound about THE WALL.
