1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
By accessing this website, submitting an application, making a donation, or participating in any activity associated with Faith & Freedom Academy Inc (“FFA,” “we,” “our,” or “the Organization”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”).
If you are a parent or legal guardian, you agree on behalf of yourself and your minor child. You represent that you have full legal authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of any minor in your care.
If you do not agree to these Terms in full, do not access or use this website or any FFA programs or services.
2. PLATFORM PURPOSE
Faith & Freedom Academy Inc is a Florida nonprofit organization operating solely as an introduction and administrative support platform. FFA provides visibility, administrative screening, and optional introductions between families and independent individuals pursuing professional pathways in coaching, mentorship, education, and related disciplines.
FFA does NOT:
• Operate as a school or licensed educational institution
• Provide academic instruction or licensed tutoring
• Employ, supervise, or control any provider
• Recommend, assign, or endorse any individual
• Guarantee outcomes, safety, or performance of any kind
• Administer Florida Step Up for Students / PEP Scholarship funds on behalf of families
All decisions regarding provider selection, engagement, and ongoing relationships are made independently and solely by parents and guardians.
3. PARENTAL CONTROL & DECISION-MAKING
Parents and guardians retain full and sole responsibility for:
• Selecting any provider introduced through the FFA platform
• Independently evaluating each provider’s qualifications, credentials, safety record, and suitability for their child
• Verifying any licenses, certifications, insurance, or professional credentials
• Determining whether a provider’s approach, values, and methods align with the family’s needs
FFA does not participate in, influence, or bear responsibility for these decisions.
4. INTRODUCTION-ONLY PLATFORM
FFA’s role is strictly limited to:
• Providing visibility to independent providers through the FFA platform
• Facilitating introductions between families and providers upon request
FFA is not involved in and bears no responsibility for:
• Negotiations between families and providers
• Agreements, contracts, or arrangements entered into by families and providers
• Supervision of any sessions, activities, or interactions
• Ongoing relationships following any introduction
All relationships, agreements, and arrangements exist directly and exclusively between families and providers.
5. NO RECOMMENDATION OR RELIANCE
FFA does not recommend, endorse, or guarantee any individual provider listed on or introduced through this platform.
By using this platform, users expressly acknowledge and agree that they do not rely on FFA for:
• Safety determinations regarding any provider or activity
• Provider evaluation, background investigation, or due diligence
• Monitoring provider conduct during or after any introduction
• Assessing the suitability of any provider for a specific child
All reliance is placed solely on the parent’s or guardian’s independent judgment and investigation.
6. INDEPENDENT PROVIDERS
All coaches, mentors, educators, and other service providers accessible through the FFA platform are independent third parties. They are not employees, agents, partners, or representatives of FFA in any capacity.
FFA may conduct limited administrative screening of providers, which may include a Level 2 background check (fingerprint-based criminal history review), reference verification, and an interview with FFA leadership. This screening:
• Does not guarantee the safety, fitness, or suitability of any provider
• Does not certify any professional qualifications or credentials
• Does not predict or warrant future conduct
• Is not a substitute for independent parental due diligence
FFA does not monitor, supervise, or maintain any ongoing oversight of providers after an introduction has been made.
7. ASSUMPTION OF RISK
Participation in athletic, physical, or developmental activities carries inherent risks, including but not limited to physical injury, illness, emotional distress, or other harm.
By using this platform and enrolling a minor child in any activity facilitated through FFA, the parent or guardian:
• Voluntarily assumes all risks associated with participation, including those arising from the acts, omissions, or negligence of third-party providers
• Confirms they are the parent or legal guardian of any minor participant
• Acknowledges that FFA does not provide medical supervision, emergency services, or safety oversight of any activities
8. RELEASE OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, by using this platform or participating in any FFA-facilitated activity, you irrevocably release, waive, and hold harmless Faith & Freedom Academy Inc, its directors, officers, volunteers, advisors, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses of any kind, whether known or unknown, arising from:
• Participation in any activity, program, or session facilitated through the FFA platform
• Interactions with any independent provider, coach, mentor, or other participant
• The acts, omissions, negligence, or misconduct of any third-party provider
• Use of or reliance on this website, its content, or any information provided through it
This release applies to claims arising both before and after the date of these Terms.
9. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY (COPPA COMPLIANCE)
FFA’s programs serve youth participants, including children under the age of 13. FFA does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
All personal information related to minor participants is submitted by and collected from parents or legal guardians. By submitting information about a minor child, you represent that you are that child’s parent or legal guardian and you consent to FFA collecting and using that information as described in these Terms.
If FFA discovers that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, it will be deleted promptly. Contact hello@faithandfreedomacademy.org to report any such concern.
10. GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE
FFA’s programs, coach network, and scholarship support are currently limited to Flagler County, Florida and surrounding areas. FFA does not currently support participation by individuals located outside Florida, and out-of-state participation cannot be guaranteed.
Families located outside the current service area may join a waitlist and will be notified if FFA expands to their region. Submitting a waitlist request does not constitute acceptance or any guarantee of future participation.
