1. Who we are; acceptance
Tribal101.com (“the Site”) is operated by Clear Health Pass Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, d/b/a Tribal Economic Development Institute, acting solely in its capacity as authorized Tribal Agent, designee, or representative of one or more Domestic Sovereigns (“the Institute,” “we”). By creating an account or using the Site you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 years old. You agree to provide accurate registration information, including your affiliation category and any tribal government or corporate entity association, and to keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
3. Identity verification
Certain features (signing petitions, registering a tribe, working-channel forum access, submitting corrections) require identity verification. You represent that all verification information you submit — including tribal enrollment numbers and identity documents — is true, accurate, and yours. Submitting false verification information is grounds for immediate termination and may violate law. Verification decisions are made at our discretion; verified status may be revoked if information proves inaccurate.
4. Nation-to-nation acknowledgment
The Site serves federally recognized tribal nations, their chartered entities, and allied users. Nothing on the Site creates, modifies, or waives any right, immunity, or obligation of any tribal nation, and nothing here is an agreement with any tribal government in its sovereign capacity. See also Sections 7, 15.6 and 15.7.
5. Member content
You retain ownership of content you submit (forum posts, statements, correction suggestions, economic data submissions, job postings). You grant the Institute a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, display, reproduce, format, and excerpt that content for operating the Site. The Institute does not alter the substance of member content; content that violates these Terms or the Forum Code of Conduct is addressed through moderation holds or removal, not editing. You represent that you have the rights to what you submit. We may remove any member content at our discretion, including under the Forum Code of Conduct, which is incorporated into these Terms.
6. Editorial content and validated sourcing
Registry records, Intelligence items, Academy modules, and policy trackers are compiled from cited public sources under our Sourcing & Validation Methodology. We work to keep records accurate and dated, but we do not warrant that any record is complete, current, or error-free. Source citations identify where information came from; they are not endorsements.
7. Petitions, position letters, and coordinated action
When you sign a petition or generate a position letter “as tribal leadership,” you attest that: (a) you hold the office or title you select; (b) you are authorized to take that action on behalf of the nation or entity you name; and (c) you understand the signature or letter will be transmitted to the named recipient(s) and may be publicly displayed if you affirmatively elect public display at signing; absent that election, only aggregate signature counts are displayed publicly. Verification under Section 3 confirms your identity only. The Institute does not verify, and takes no position on, any signer’s authority under the law of any tribal nation or the governing documents of any entity to act on that nation’s or entity’s behalf; that authority is the subject of your attestation and your sole responsibility. The Institute transmits these at your direction and is not responsible for how recipients treat them. Duplicate-signature limits are enforced per nation.
8. No legal, financial, or professional advice
The Site publishes educational and informational content about law and policy affecting tribal economic development, including litigation tracking and plain-language impact summaries. Nothing on the Site is legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created. Consult qualified counsel before acting on anything you read here. Nothing on the Site is financial, investment, or tax advice.
9. Intellectual property
The Site, its design, marks (“Sovereign Ground,” “Tribal101”), and editorial content are owned by the Institute or its licensors. You may use the Site for its intended purposes; systematic scraping, republication of substantial portions of the Registry, or commercial redistribution requires written permission. Public-domain government source documents remain public domain.
10. Third-party services
Social sign-in (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn) and outbound links are governed by those third parties’ terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.
11. Copyright complaints
We respect intellectual property rights and comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent: Legal Department, Clear Health Pass Holdings, LLC, 3301 North University Drive Suite 100 #1117, Coral Springs, FL 33065, legal@tribal101.com. Your notice must include: (a) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (b) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it on the Site; (c) your name, address, telephone number, and email address; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (e) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. Upon receipt of a compliant notice we will remove or disable access to the identified material and notify the member who posted it. Counter-notifications meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) may be sent to the same address. Accounts of repeat infringers will be terminated in appropriate circumstances.
12. Disclaimers; limitation of liability
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Institute disclaims all warranties and will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, arising from use of the Site. The Institute’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Site shall not exceed the greater of one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100) or the amounts you paid the Institute in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty disclaimers or damages limitations; in those jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
13. Indemnification
You will indemnify the Institute against claims arising from your content, your breach of these Terms, or your misrepresentation of authority under §7.
14. Changes; termination
We may update these Terms with notice via the Site; continued use is acceptable. You may close your account at any time; §§5–13 and §15 survive termination.
15. Governing law; disputes
15.1 Governing Law
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site, are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except that matters arising under federal law, including federal Indian law, are governed by applicable federal law.
15.2 Venue — State-Law Claims
Any action or proceeding asserting claims arising under state law shall be brought exclusively in the state courts of Florida located in Broward County, Florida. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, waives any objection to the laying of venue, and waives any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum.
15.3 Venue — Federal Claims
Any action or proceeding asserting claims arising under federal law shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, waives any objection to the laying of venue, and waives any claim that such court is an inconvenient forum.
15.4 Waiver of Arbitration
THE PARTIES HEREBY FOREVER AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO ARBITRATION of any dispute arising under or relating to these Terms or the Site. All disputes shall be resolved exclusively through litigation in the courts specified in Sections 15.2 and 15.3. This waiver is knowing, voluntary, and irrevocable, and survives termination of these Terms.
15.5 Class Action Waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by law, all claims must be brought in a party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. If this Section 15.5 is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, it is severed as to that claim only, and the remainder of this Section 15 remains in full force and effect.
15.6 Preservation of Tribal Sovereign Immunity
Nothing in these Terms waives, or shall be deemed or construed to waive, the sovereign immunity of any federally recognized Indian tribe, tribal economic development corporation, tribal entity, or arm or instrumentality thereof. Any waiver of sovereign immunity must be express, specific, and contained in a separate written instrument duly authorized by the applicable tribal governing body. These Terms bind members in their individual capacities and are not an agreement with any tribal nation in its sovereign capacity.
15.7 Venue for Sovereign and Tribal Authority Matters
Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that involves Tribal sovereign authority, Sovereign Immunity, federal Indian law, or any matter that may implicate the sovereign interests of a Domestic Sovereign shall be brought exclusively in the United States District Court as designated by the applicable Domestic Sovereign in its sole and absolute discretion. The Sovereign Domicile shall control for purposes of sovereign status, jurisdictional analysis, and immunity determinations. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, waives any objection to venue, and agrees to survive any removal challenges.
