Persons under 18 may not create an account, declare as a Texian, contribute, submit User Content, register for an event, or transact.
4. Accounts
Certain features require an account. You agree to provide accurate, current information, to safeguard your credentials, and to notify TNM immediately of any unauthorized access. Accounts are tied to a single natural person. TNM may verify your identity, Texas residency, contact information, or payment source. You may close your account at any time by writing support@thetnm.org.

A user who completes the Declaration becomes a Declared Texian. Declared Texian status is a personal political commitment, recorded by name, contact information, and assigned legislative district for the express purpose of organizing public support for a referendum on Texas independence. It is not a contractual entitlement to any benefit, position, vote, asset, or relationship with TNM. It is revocable by you at any time by writing legal@thetnm.org, and by TNM at any time. It does not authorize you to act, speak, contract, fundraise, or represent any position on behalf of TNM except with express written authorization.
7. Memberships, dues, and recurring billing
TNM offers voluntary paid memberships; membership is not required to declare, receive most communications, attend most public events, or participate.

9. Electronic communications consent
By providing any contact information, you agree to receive electronic and other communications from TNM at any address you provide. By providing a mobile telephone number, you expressly consent to receive autodialed, prerecorded, and AI-generated text messages and voice calls from TNM, its authorized vendors, and TNM-authorized volunteers using peer-to-peer tools. Consent is not a condition of any purchase, contribution, or service. Message and data rates may apply; message frequency varies. Reply STOP to cancel and HELP for help. You may revoke consent at any time by any reasonable method, processed within ten (10) business days. TNM intends compliance with the Texas Telephone Solicitation Act and the Texas Mini-TCPA to the extent applicable to a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.
10. User content
User Content means anything you submit through the Services. You retain ownership, subject to the license you grant TNM.

TNM asserts common-law trademark and service-mark rights in marks including Texas Nationalist Movement, TNM, TEXIT, Texian, Declared Texian, and the associated logos and slogans, enforceable under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. §1125(a)) and Texas common law.

Box 403, Nederland, Texas 77627, dmca@thetnm.org. TNM terminates the accounts of repeat infringers.
14. Third-party services and links
The Services link to, embed, and integrate with third-party platforms under their own terms and privacy policies. TNM is not responsible for any third-party service, content, accuracy, security, availability, or practice. A link or embed does not constitute endorsement.
15. Volunteers; events; offline activity
County Coordinators, District Captains, Regional Directors, and other field personnel are independent participants, not employees or general agents of TNM. Participation in TNM-organized or TNM-related events involves inherent risks, which you assume; you waive and release TNM and the TNM Released Parties from claims arising from those risks except those arising from TNM’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct. By attending a TNM event you grant TNM the license in Section 10 with respect to your image, likeness, voice, and presence.
16. Disclaimers
The Services, all content, and all features are provided “as is,” “as available,” and “with all faults.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, TNM disclaims all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Statements concerning Texas independence, political strategy, legislative or election outcomes, the timing of any referendum, or any other future event are advocacy, analysis, opinion, or prediction, not guarantees. TNM is committed to accessibility; to request an accommodation or report an issue, write accessibility@thetnm.org (see also our Accessibility statement).
17. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TNM and the TNM Released Parties will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, and the total aggregate liability of TNM for all claims will not exceed the greater of the total amount you paid TNM in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100.00). These limitations are a fundamental basis of the bargain.
18. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Texas Nationalist Movement, Inc. and its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, contractors, agents, members, affiliates, licensors, service providers, successors, and assigns (the “TNM Released Parties”) from any claims arising out of your use of the Services, your User Content, your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right, your interaction with any other user, or your statement or action in connection with TNM.
19. Disputes; arbitration; class-action waiver; jury-trial waiver
Read this Section carefully. It requires you and TNM to resolve disputes by binding individual arbitration, waives your right to participate in a class, collective, mass, or representative proceeding, and waives your right to a jury trial. Section 19.7 provides a 30-day opt-out. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas; the exclusive venue for any action permitted in court is the state and federal courts in Jefferson County, Texas. Before initiating any proceeding, you and TNM agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days after a written Dispute Notice to legal@thetnm.org. Any unresolved dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under the Federal Arbitration Act. If 25 or more substantially similar demands are filed within any 90-day period by coordinated claimants, a mass-arbitration protocol with a 90-day global mediation period and batches of no more than 50 claims applies. You may opt out of this Section by written notice to legal@thetnm.org with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Carve-outs exist for small-claims actions and for equitable relief to protect intellectual property or stop misuse of the Services.
20. Modifications
TNM may add to, change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time. TNM may modify these Terms; for material changes (including to Sections 7, 9, 10, 17, 18, or 19), TNM will provide at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice and, where account-gated, require your affirmative acceptance. Continued use after the Effective date constitutes acceptance.
21. Termination; survival; general
Termination ends your right to use the Services but does not extinguish obligations that by their nature survive, including Sections 8, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, and 19. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Community Guidelines are the entire agreement concerning the Services. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in force. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without TNM’s consent; TNM may assign them. Nothing here creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship. The English version controls.
