Terms of Use

By using provincehoa.org and its services ("Province Social", "the service"), you agree to these terms. Province Social is the community hub operated by the Province Community Association in Maricopa, Arizona.

Using Province Social

• You may use Province Social to participate in chat, post on the community feed, read committee updates, send suggestions to the board, and otherwise engage with the community.
• You must be at least 13 years old.
• You are responsible for the content you post and the security of your account credentials.

Community standards

Province Social is a space for honest, kind, neighborly conversation. We do not allow:

• Harassment, threats, hate speech, or doxing.
• Sexually explicit content, gratuitous violence, or material that exploits minors.
• Promotion of self-harm or suicide.
• Spam, scams, advertising, or solicitation outside of Suggestions.
• Impersonation of others, including board members, committees, or other residents.
• Illegal activity or content that infringes someone else's rights.

Moderation

We use a combination of automatic safeguards (rate limits, hard-block lists, three-strike auto-mute, five-strike auto-ban) and human review by board-appointed moderators and hosts. We may hide, remove, or restrict content or accounts that violate these standards, with or without notice. Repeat or severe violations may result in permanent removal.

Your content

You keep ownership of the content you post. By posting, you grant the Province Community Association a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content as needed to operate the service (e.g., showing your post in the feed or sharing it within a committee room).

You can edit or delete your own content at any time.

Disclaimer

Province Social is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We make no promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that posted information is accurate or appropriate for your situation. Posts and committee updates reflect the views of their authors and are not official notices unless designated as such by the board.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Province Community Association and its board, volunteers, and operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Termination

You may close your account at any time by emailing [email protected]. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced on the site, and the "Last updated" date will reflect the change.
