Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

The IAMT Network is a private, application-only professional network for the Institute for American Manufacturing & Technology. Membership is by application review and at the sole discretion of the Institute's directors. The Institute may accept, hold, or reject applications without obligation to state a reason.

2. Acceptable use

By using the network you agree not to:

• Harass, threaten, or demean other members
• Post spam, commercial promotion outside designated spaces, or automated content

• Circumvent security controls, rate limits, or access restrictions
• Scrape, mirror, or bulk-export other members' data

3. Content ownership & license

You own the content you post. By posting content, you grant the Institute a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, cache, and deliver your content within the IAMT Network to eligible members for the duration of your membership. This license terminates when you delete the content or your account, subject to retention needs for moderation and legal compliance.
