The deal, in plain English

Membership costs $5, once. It is not a subscription, and we do not charge you again. It is not a purchase of goods either: it is how we check that members are real people, and how we cover part of what running this costs. Membership is not a donation and is not tax-deductible. Donations to Diversify All, Inc. are separate, and are deductible as far as the law allows.

If we take your $5 and cannot open a membership, we refund it. If you want your $5 back within 30 days, write to info@allgoodpeople.net and you get it back, no reason needed. If we end your membership for a reason other than your own conduct, we will refund the $5.

You own what you write, make and upload here. Posting it transfers nothing. It was yours before and it is yours after, and no checkbox on this site takes your copyright.

What you give us is permission to do one thing: host, store, copy and display your content on All Good People, in the places you chose to put it, together with the short excerpts and previews used to link people to it and the technical copies needed to serve it (caching, backup, format conversion, moving it between our providers).

That permission is non-exclusive (publish the same thing anywhere else, any time, without permission from us), royalty-free (nobody is paying anybody), worldwide (because the internet is), and revocable: delete the content and the permission ends with it, apart from backups that age out on their ordinary schedule and copies other people already saved, which we cannot reach.

It does not include anything else. We do not use your content to train AI models, we do not license or sell it, we do not put it in advertising, and we do not use your handle to endorse anything.

Post only what you have the right to post. Other people’s information — the contacts and lists some features let you bring in — belongs to them as much as to you: keep it to yourself, and never use it to reach people who did not ask to hear from you.

We hold a phone number and a payment record, and a court can order us to produce them. We would rather say that plainly than let you rely on a word that is not true.

We never volunteer your identity — not to a business you reviewed, not to its lawyer, not to a letter demanding it, and not for money. A letter from someone’s lawyer is not legal process, however it is worded. If legal process does arrive — a subpoena, a court order, or a warrant — you hear from us first, with the deadline and time to do something about it, unless a court has told us not to tell you, and then we say so as soon as we are allowed. Where the law lets us make someone go to a judge before your name moves, that is what we do.

We keep almost nothing to hand over: a review is the handle you chose, the few things you said about yourself, and your words. Not the address your computer was using, not your device, not where you were.

How to behave here, and what each room asks of you when you write about somebody who is not you, are set out in our house rules. They are part of this agreement, and breaking them is grounds to end an account. We may sharpen a rule there without re-dating these terms; when a change matters we say so plainly.

Two lines are absolute anywhere on this site: nothing sexual involving a minor, and nothing sexual that the person in it did not consent to.

You may review anything your money touched — a stay, a flight, a purchase, a contractor, a doctor — and you may list what you have lived through, and what you do for a living, in Been There. In both you write under a handle you choose, and your name appears nowhere. What you may and may not name is in the house rules.

We do not check anyone. Everyone in Been There listed themselves. We do not verify that anyone is who or what they say they are, and we do not recommend, refer or select anyone. Where a field has an official public licence lookup, we may point you at it; using it is the only checking that happens.

A conversation is not a professional relationship. Messaging someone here does not make them your lawyer, doctor, accountant or anything else, and nothing said in it is professional advice or care. Someone telling you what they went through is telling you about their own life, which may be nothing like yours.

You are the author, always. Nobody can pay to change what is shown, and we do not change your words. Every review comes from a verified member, and no card or phone number can be used twice. Your review deck — the private notes you keep on people and places you use — is seen by no other member, and the rules begin at the moment you choose to publish.

If someone tells us you have claimed a profession you do not have and it looks credible, we take that part of your listing down while a person looks at it, and we tell you. Anything of yours, you may take down at any time.

Several features here use AI, and we label them where you meet them. AI is moving quickly and this site is changing with it: if something here is not working, or an AI feature says something false about a real person, a real company, or you, write to info@allgoodpeople.net and we will look at it and correct or remove it. We would rather hear it than not.

AI can be wrong. It can state false things confidently, misremember, and invent detail. Everything an AI feature here tells you is a starting point for your own judgment, not a fact you can rely on. Check anything that matters before you act on it or publish it.

It is not professional advice. Nothing an AI feature here produces is legal, medical, financial, tax or investment advice. Where we show a point of view about a company, it is a labeled perspective on how that company lines up with your own stated values — never a rating, and never a recommendation to buy or sell anything.

AGP AI never acts for you. It does not post, send, buy or publish anything on its own. When it prepares something it hands it to you and stops: nothing happens until you read it and press the button. That is built into how the system works. If you publish what it drafted, you are publishing it — it is your post, and the permission above applies to it.

Where your words go. What you type into an AI feature is sent to the AI providers named in our Privacy page so they can answer you. We do not use your words to train AI models, and we do not license or sell them to anyone who does.

Most of what you read here was written by members, not by us. We do not review posts before they appear, and a post being here does not mean we agree with it or checked it.

If an intimate image of you is here without your consent, you do not need a lawyer, a court order, or a fee. Write to info@allgoodpeople.net with four things: your signature (typed is fine), enough for us to find the image on this site, a brief statement that you believe in good faith it was published without your consent along with anything that helps us see that, and a way to reach you. Someone acting for you may send it instead. Within 48 hours of a valid request we remove the image and make reasonable efforts to find and remove any known identical copies of it here. This applies whether the image is real or was made to look like you.

If something here infringes your copyright, write to info@allgoodpeople.net with the work you own, the address of the material here, your contact information, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and that you own the work or can act for the owner, and your signature. We take down properly noticed material, tell the member, and restore it if they send a valid counter-notice.

If something here is abusive, false about you, or harmful, write to the same address and say what and why, and a person looks at it. We may remove content, refuse content, or end an account for anything in our house rules or anything that puts members or this organization at real risk.

When we remove something we tell the person it belonged to, and we keep a record of what was removed and why. Where we do not tell someone — the law sometimes directs otherwise, as it does with sexual content involving a minor — the reason is written on that record. When we end an account we mark it rather than erase what it holds, so a record survives; deleting your own account works differently, and is described above.

All Good People is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. We do not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure against every attack, that anything you read here is accurate, or that any given feature will still exist next month.

Nothing here is a promise to protect, monitor, rescue or intervene on anyone’s behalf. If you are in danger, call 911. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Diversify All, Inc. and its directors, officers, volunteers and contractors are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data or lost goodwill, arising out of your use of All Good People — whether the claim is in contract, tort or anything else, and even if we were told such damages were possible.

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for all claims relating to All Good People is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred dollars ($100). Some states do not allow some of these limits; where that is true these limits apply as far as that state allows and no further. Nothing here limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or anything that cannot be limited by law.

If someone brings a claim against us because of what you posted or did here, you will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless, to the extent it arises from your content or your breach of these terms. We will tell you about any such claim and let you control the defense, and we will not settle it without asking you first.

Changes.We may change these terms. If a change matters we will post the new version with a new date and say so plainly rather than bury it. Continuing to use All Good People after that means you accept the new version; if you do not, delete your account — the old terms governed everything you did before.

Privacy and house rules. Our Privacy page and our house rules are part of these terms.

Ending things. You may leave at any time by deleting your account. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or the house rules, if we are required to, or if continuing would put members or the organization at real risk — and where it is safe and lawful to tell you why, we will. The sections on content permission (for anything you leave standing), promises, limits, and law survive.

Everything else. These terms, our Privacy page and our house rules are the whole agreement between us about All Good People. If a court finds one part unenforceable, the rest stands. If we do not enforce something once, we have not given it up. You may not transfer your membership; we may transfer these terms to a successor organization that agrees to be bound by them, by our Privacy page and by our house rules.
