Terms of Use

The house rules for visiting this digital abbey: be kind, be honest, and please do not make us call the paperwork committee.

Last updated: July 2, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your use of this website operated by the Orlando Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, The Abbey of St. Gertrude de Nivelles. By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

These terms are meant to be practical and understandable. They are not a substitute for legal advice, a glitter-covered contract negotiation, or an engraved tablet from Mount Fabulous.

Website Content

The content on this website is provided for general information, outreach, education, fundraising, community connection, and nonprofit transparency.

We do our best to keep information accurate, but event details, program availability, grant information, links, and resources may change. Please confirm time-sensitive information before making plans, applying, donating, or arriving in full regalia.

No Professional Advice

Content on this site, including Playfair or safer-sex resources, is educational and community-focused. It is not medical, legal, financial, tax, mental health, or other professional advice. Please consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.

Donations, Tickets & Third-Party Payments

Donations, ticketing, merchandise, or payment-related actions may be handled by third-party providers. Their terms, fees, privacy practices, refund rules, and payment processing policies may apply.

Unless otherwise stated, donations are voluntary and support the Orlando Sisters' charitable, educational, advocacy, outreach, and community-care work. If you have a question about a donation, please contact us promptly so we can help untangle the receipt scroll.

Events & Programs

Event dates, times, locations, performers, programming, accessibility details, capacity, and safety expectations may change. We may update, postpone, cancel, or modify events or programs when needed.

You agree to follow posted event rules, venue rules, safety guidance, and community standards. Joy is welcome. Harassment, threats, discrimination, or behavior that endangers others is not.

Acceptable Use

Please do not use this website to:

  • Break the law or encourage harm.
  • Harass, threaten, defame, abuse, or target others.
  • Submit false, misleading, malicious, or unauthorized information.
  • Interfere with site security, availability, or performance.
  • Upload or transmit malware, spam, scraping tools, or automated abuse.
  • Impersonate the Orlando Sisters or imply endorsement without permission.

In short: be fabulous, not feral.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, text, design, graphics, images, logos, names, and other site materials belong to the Orlando Sisters or are used with permission. You may link to public pages and share reasonable excerpts with attribution.

Please contact us before reusing photos, member portraits, event materials, logos, or substantial site content. Consent and context matter, especially in queer and community spaces.

External Links

This site links to third-party websites and services. We provide those links for convenience and community usefulness, but we do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, policies, availability, or practices.

Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

This website is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee that the site will always be uninterrupted, error-free, current, or free of harmful components.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Orlando Sisters will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or similar damages arising from your use of this site.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a new date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
