Terms of Use

These terms cover your use of this website, run by Open Speech Society, Inc. By using the site, you agree to them.

Using the site

Use the site and its forms honestly. Don't send false information or spam, don't try to break or overload the site, and don't try to get into parts of it that aren't public.

Applying to start a chapter

Applying starts a conversation; it doesn't create a chapter. Open Speech Society recognizes chapters through its Board. A chapter is a student organization registered with its own school and follows its school's rules. It can't sign contracts, take on debts or raise money in Open Speech Society's name without the Board's written approval, and it uses the Open Speech Society name only as we approve and as its school's rules allow.

Speakers and views

Open Speech Society is nonpartisan. Speakers and students at our events speak for themselves, not for Open Speech Society, its chapters or any school. We don't endorse or oppose candidates for public office.

Our content

The text, logos, design and event recordings on this site belong to Open Speech Society or to those who allow us to use them. You may share links and short quotes with credit. Don't copy or reuse our logos or recordings without written permission.

No guarantees

We work to keep this site accurate and running, but we provide it as is. To the extent the law allows, Open Speech Society isn't liable for losses that come from using the site.
