Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

These terms cover the Mind Pump Testimonials submission tool, the public Wall of Love, and how we handle the information you share with us.

Last updated: [Month DD, YYYY]
Draft — not legal advice. This is standard boilerplate for a testimonial-collection tool, written to give reasonable protection on the common issues (content licensing, no guaranteed results, liability). Have a licensed attorney review it — especially the bracketed placeholders — before it goes live.

1.Acceptance of these terms

By submitting a testimonial, photo, or video through this site (the "Service"), or by browsing the public Wall of Love, you agree to these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy below. If you do not agree, please don't submit anything through the Service.

The Service is operated by [Mind Pump Media, LLC]("Mind Pump," "we," "us"). These terms are between you and Mind Pump.

2.Who can submit

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to submit a testimonial. If you are between 13 and that age, you may only submit with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. The Service is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect submissions from them.

3.Your submission

When you submit a testimonial, you're sharing your own personal story or opinion about your experience with Mind Pump, its programs, products, personnel, or content. Submitting is entirely voluntary and uncompensated unless we agree with you separately, in writing.

You confirm that:

  • Everything you submit is truthful and reflects your own genuine experience;
  • You own, or have full rights to, everything you submit — including any video, photo, name, voice, and likeness — or you have permission from everyone shown or heard in it;
  • Your submission doesn't infringe anyone else's copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights, and isn't defamatory, obscene, or unlawful.

4.The license you grant us

By submitting, you give Mind Pump a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, edit, adapt, translate, excerpt, and publicly display or perform your submission — including your name, city, social handle, photo, video, and voice — in any format and any medium now known or later invented. This includes our website, the public Wall of Love, social media, email marketing, paid advertising, commercials, trailers, and promotional videos.

This license survives even if you later ask us to stop featuring your story on the public Wall of Love (see Section 5) — we may still retain a copy internally and use previously-published or previously-produced materials (like a commercial that already aired) that included your testimonial.

You keep ownership of your own content. This is a license, not a transfer of ownership — but it's broad, because we need the freedom to actually use your story in marketing without asking you to sign something new every time.

You will not be paid for this license or for our use of your submission, unless we've separately agreed with you in writing.

5.Review, publication, and removal

We review every submission before anything is used publicly. We may, at our sole discretion:

  • decline to publish or use any submission, for any reason or no reason;
  • edit, crop, caption, or excerpt a submission for length, clarity, or format;
  • publish only part of a submission (for example, your quote and name, without the accompanying video or photo);
  • remove a previously-published testimonial from the public Wall of Love at any time.

If you'd like a testimonial removed from the public Wall of Love, contact us (Section 15) and we'll take it down from the public site. As noted in Section 4, this doesn't retroactively withdraw the license for materials already produced or distributed.

6.Prohibited content

Don't submit anything that:

  • is false, misleading, or impersonates someone else;
  • contains another identifiable person without their permission;
  • includes hate speech, harassment, threats, or sexually explicit material;
  • promotes illegal activity, or violates any law or third party's rights;
  • contains a virus, malware, or any code intended to damage or disrupt the Service.

We may remove any submission that violates this section without notice.

7.No guaranteed results

Testimonials reflect individual experiences and opinions. They are not a guarantee, promise, or prediction of the results any other person will achieve. Fitness, nutrition, and health outcomes vary significantly from person to person based on many factors outside our control, including effort, consistency, genetics, and starting condition.

Nothing on the Wall of Love, or anywhere Mind Pump republishes a testimonial, constitutes medical advice. Consult a physician before starting any exercise, nutrition, or supplement program.

8.Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

9.Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mind Pump and its owners, employees, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising from your use of the Service or your submission, even if we've been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or the Service will not exceed [$100 / one hundred US dollars].

10.Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Mind Pump and its owners, employees, and affiliates from any claim, damage, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your submission, your breach of these terms, or your violation of any third party's rights.

11.Copyright complaints

If you believe a testimonial published on the Wall of Love infringes your copyright, send a written notice to [legal@mindpump.com] identifying the work, its location on our site, and your contact information. We'll investigate and remove infringing content where appropriate.

12.Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

13.Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [County, State], and you consent to that jurisdiction.

14.Privacy policy

What we collect

When you submit a testimonial, we collect what you give us: your name, email (optional), city/location (optional), social handle (optional), star rating, written story, and any photo or video you upload. If you submit anonymously with no email, we have no way to identify you beyond what you typed.

How we use it

  • To review and, if approved, publish your testimonial per the license in Section 4;
  • To contact you about your submission, if you gave us an email;
  • Internally, to build a media library for our marketing team.

Your email address is kept private and is never shown on the public Wall of Love. Internal reviewer notes, tags, and editor scores are never public.

What we don't do

We don't sell your personal information. We don't share it with third parties except service providers who help us run the Service (for example, our video hosting and cloud storage providers), bound by confidentiality obligations.

Your choices

You can ask us to remove your testimonial from the public wall, correct information, or delete your submission entirely, by contacting us (Section 15). We'll honor deletion requests except where we need to retain a record for legal reasons or where content has already been incorporated into a published work (see Section 4).

Cookies & analytics

The Service may use basic analytics to understand traffic and improve the submission experience. We don't use this data to build advertising profiles of visitors.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

15.Contact us

Questions about these terms, or requests to remove or correct your submission, can be sent to [legal@mindpump.com] or [mailing address].
