1. About Old School Produce Partners
Old School Produce Partners, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Vinton, Iowa. Our mission is to bring volunteers together to grow fresh produce and provide it at no cost to local food pantries and the communities they serve.
The Website provides information about our organization, programs, volunteer opportunities, community activities, donations, partners, and related topics.
2. Use of the Website
You may use this Website for lawful, personal, informational, and noncommercial purposes.
You agree not to:
- use the Website for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose;
- interfere with or disrupt the operation or security of the Website;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, its servers, accounts, or related systems;
- use automated systems, bots, scrapers, or similar methods in a manner that places an unreasonable burden on the Website;
- introduce viruses, malicious code, or other harmful technology;
- impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with an organization; or
- use Website content in a way that infringes the rights of OSPP or any third party.
We may restrict or terminate access to the Website when we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated or when necessary to protect the Website, OSPP, or others.
3. Website Information
We work to keep the information on this Website useful, accurate, and current. However, nonprofit activities, volunteer schedules, events, garden conditions, partner relationships, programs, statistics, and other information may change.
We do not guarantee that all Website content will always be complete, current, accurate, or available.
Information on this Website is provided for general informational purposes and should not be considered legal, financial, medical, tax, agricultural, or other professional advice.
4. Volunteer Opportunities
The Website may allow you to learn about volunteer opportunities or submit information indicating that you would like to volunteer.
Submitting a volunteer form or contacting OSPP does not guarantee a particular volunteer opportunity, schedule, assignment, or placement.
Volunteer activities may involve gardening, lifting, tools, outdoor conditions, uneven surfaces, heat, sun exposure, insects, vehicles, equipment, and other risks normally associated with garden and community-service activities.
Volunteers are expected to follow instructions, safety requirements, and policies provided by OSPP while participating in activities.
Participation in certain volunteer activities, events, or programs may also be subject to additional forms, policies, permissions, releases, or waivers. Those requirements are separate from these Website Terms.
Youth volunteers may be subject to additional parental, guardian, school, or organizational permission requirements.
Submitting a volunteer inquiry or performing volunteer service does not create an employment relationship between you and OSPP.
5. Donations
The Website may provide opportunities to make charitable donations to Old School Produce Partners, Inc.
Unless otherwise stated, donations support OSPP’s charitable mission and operating needs, including expenses associated with growing, maintaining, harvesting, and distributing fresh produce.
OSPP is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by applicable law. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of any contribution.
Unless otherwise stated in a donation receipt or fundraising offer, no goods or services are provided in exchange for a charitable contribution.
Donation Processing
Online donations may be processed through third-party payment providers. Your use of those services may also be subject to the payment provider’s own terms, conditions, and privacy practices.
OSPP is not responsible for the availability, security, or independent practices of a third-party payment provider, except to the extent required by applicable law.
Refunds and Donation Errors
Donations are generally considered final once processed.
If you believe a donation was made in error, submitted more than once, processed for an incorrect amount, or otherwise requires correction, please contact us promptly. Refund and correction requests will be reviewed individually and handled as appropriate and as permitted by law.
Designated and Restricted Gifts
Unless Old School Produce Partners, Inc. expressly agrees otherwise in writing, donations are made for the general charitable purposes of the organization.
Any preference, designation, comment, note, or requested use submitted with a donation will be considered when reasonably possible but does not create a legally binding restriction on the gift unless OSPP expressly accepts that restriction.
If a donation is made in response to a specific fundraising campaign, OSPP intends to use those funds in support of the stated purpose of that campaign. If the stated purpose is completed, becomes impracticable, no longer requires additional funds, or circumstances otherwise materially change, OSPP may use remaining funds for another purpose consistent with its charitable mission, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Recurring Donations
If recurring donations are offered, recurring contributions will continue at the frequency and amount selected by the donor until canceled.
Recurring donations may generally be canceled through the applicable payment provider or by contacting OSPP, subject to the payment provider’s processing procedures and timing.
Cancellation of a recurring donation will apply to future charges and will not ordinarily reverse donations that have already been processed.
6. Forms and Communications
When you submit information through a volunteer form, contact form, donation form, newsletter signup, or another Website feature, you agree to provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
Submitting a form does not obligate OSPP to provide services, accept a volunteer, establish a partnership, respond to a request, or take any particular action.
If you provide contact information and request information from us, you authorize us to contact you as reasonably necessary to respond to your request or administer the activity for which you provided the information.
Our collection and use of personal information is also governed by our Privacy Policy.
7. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, the Website and its contents—including the Old School Produce Partners name and logos, graphics, illustrations, photographs, written content, design elements, and other materials—are owned by or licensed to Old School Produce Partners, Inc. and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may view, print, or share reasonable portions of Website content for personal, educational, charitable, or other noncommercial purposes, provided that you do not materially alter the content or falsely suggest that OSPP endorses another organization, product, service, or cause.
You may not reproduce, sell, license, commercially exploit, or create misleading derivative uses of OSPP’s names, logos, branding, photographs, illustrations, or Website content without permission.
Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of any OSPP intellectual property.

These third parties operate independently from OSPP. We do not control their websites, content, security, availability, terms, or privacy practices.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to replace or modify any separate agreement, release, waiver, insurance coverage, or legal obligation relating to participation in an OSPP volunteer activity or event.
13. Responsibility for Misuse of the Website
You are responsible for losses, claims, or expenses reasonably resulting from your unlawful use of the Website, your intentional violation of these Terms, or your infringement of the rights of another person.

14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, our activities, applicable law, or our practices.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

16. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the extent necessary to make it enforceable where possible. The remaining provisions will continue in effect.
