Terms
The Reparations Ledger is a public-facing research and archival landing page. It exists to make the historical record, the repair claim, and the public evidence more readable for visitors who need clarity, sources, and a serious account of the debt.
By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or submit correspondence through its forms.
1. What this site is
This surface is informational, archival, humanitarian, and public-education oriented. It presents source-backed materials, summaries, research pages, downloadable files, and contact forms connected to Foundational Black American reparations and full cash repair.
Nothing on this site is legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or an official government determination about eligibility, compensation, or public policy.
2. Who may use it
You may read, reference, and share the public materials on this site for lawful educational, journalistic, advocacy, family, and research use. If you submit information through a form, you agree to provide accurate information to the best of your knowledge and not to impersonate another person or organization.
3. Acceptable use
You may not use the site in a way that breaks the record, harms other people, overloads the service, or violates law.
- Do not submit false, malicious, harassing, obscene, or threatening material.
- Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site, its hosting, its forms, or any administrative system.
- Do not upload malware, phishing links, or harmful scripts.
- Do not use bots or scraping patterns that disrupt normal public access.
- Do not misrepresent site figures as official government valuations or live entitlement determinations.
4. Submissions and intellectual property
You keep ownership of material you submit, but by sending it to the ledger you allow the site operators to receive, store, review, and use the submission for correspondence handling, fact-checking, editorial review, security review, and archival administration.
Public site design, original editorial framing, selection and arrangement of materials, and brand assets remain protected. Source documents, public records, and quoted external works remain subject to their own rights and attribution rules.
5. Site availability and external materials
The site aims to remain readable and available, but uninterrupted access is not guaranteed. Downloads, external links, source archives, and third-party services may change, break, move, or become unavailable without notice.
Where the site links to public archives, scholarship, government records, or news sources, those third-party materials remain under the control of their own operators.
6. Disclaimers and limitation
The site is provided on an as-is and as-available basis to the fullest extent allowed by law. The operators do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, perfect accuracy, or that every external source will remain active.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from site use, download failures, or reliance on the materials as a substitute for legal, policy, or professional advice.
7. Changes and contact
These terms may be updated as the site evolves. Material updates will appear on this page with a revised version or date.
If you need to send a question, correction, privacy request, or formal notice connected to these terms, use the contact form on the contact page.
