Terms Of Service Agreement

Last revised September 2nd, 2022

Welcome to the Action Builder Organizing Toolset (the “Services”) provided by Action Squared (“we”, “us”, “our”, "Action Squared”). If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding these Master Terms or our Services, please contact us at [e-mail].

1. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

A. Action Squared builds infrastructure for the progressive movement using a sustainable, cooperative model grounded in respect, shared ownership and transparency, motivated by building progressive power rather than profit.

Our purpose excludes use of the Services by any corporation, association, organization, or other person (collectively, an “entity”) (a) that opposes the unionization of workers in any context, including but not limited to its own workforce (whether or not such workforce is covered by the protections of the National Labor Relations Act  (the “NLRA”) and whether or not they are deemed “independent contractors,” “employees,” or any other categorization); for the avoidance of doubt, this provision is not intended to preclude licensing to an entity that is an employer of unionized workers and that exercises its established rights under the NLRA or other applicable labor laws in the resolution of a contract dispute; (b) that advocates in federal, state, or local bodies for anti-worker policies such as “right-to-work” legislation, referenda, or other measures; (c) for any use that opposes or diminishes in a material respect the rights or ability of working people to form unions and bargain collectively with their employers; (d) for any use that seeks to interfere with a union’s established collective bargaining relationship with an employee that has either been recognized by the employer or has been certified by the National Labor Relations Board or other federal or state agency as the collective bargaining representative for the employee; and (e) for any use supporting or opposing the candidacy of a person or slate of persons for any elected office in a union, labor federation, or other labor organization.
