Disclaimer
Effective Date: July 24, 2026
Last Updated: July 24, 2026
Website: allianceofconcernedmen.org
The information provided on this website (the “Website”) by Alliance of Concerned Men (“ACM,” “the Alliance,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is for general informational purposes only. All content on the Website—including descriptions of our violence-prevention, intervention, mentoring, and credible-messenger programs, staff and board biographies, news, blog posts, photos, videos, statistics, and any other materials—is provided in good faith. However, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information on the Website.
1. General Information Only
This Website is intended to inform the public about ACM’s mission, history, programs, leadership, and impact, and to support community engagement, volunteer recruitment, and fundraising. It is not intended to serve as a comprehensive source of information about violence prevention, reentry, mentoring, mental health, or any other subject discussed on the Website, and should not be treated as such.
2. Not Legal, Medical, Mental Health, or Professional Advice
Nothing on this Website constitutes, or is intended to constitute, legal, medical, mental health, social work, counseling, or other professional advice of any kind, and nothing on this Website should be relied upon as a substitute for evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment by a qualified, licensed professional.
- Do not rely on information from this Website as a basis for making decisions about a legal, medical, mental health, or safety situation without first consulting a qualified professional.
- Descriptions of ACM’s programs, services, and outcomes on the Website are general in nature and may not reflect what any particular individual or family will experience.
- Only a qualified professional—or, where applicable, ACM staff conducting an in-person intake—can assess an individual’s specific circumstances and needs.
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or a crisis, call 911. For the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, call or text 988. For non-emergency questions about ACM’s programs, please contact our office directly using the information in Section 14.
3. No Client, Counselor, or Professional Relationship Created
Viewing or interacting with this Website—including submitting a contact form, volunteer sign-up, or program inquiry—does not create a client, counselor-client, mentor-mentee, social worker, or other professional relationship between you and ACM or its staff. Such a relationship, where applicable to a specific ACM program, is established only through ACM’s formal intake, screening, and enrollment process conducted in person or through direct communication with ACM staff.
4. Website Use and Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ACM, its board members, officers, employees, volunteers, agents, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this Website, even if ACM has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
This limitation applies to all claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you in its entirety. Nothing in this section is intended to limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
5. Program and Community-Impact Disclaimer
ACM’s work—including violence interruption, conflict mediation, mentoring, and reentry support—addresses complex, community-level challenges that depend on many factors outside ACM’s control, including individual circumstances, community conditions, and the actions of third parties. Information about ACM’s programs and impact on the Website is general and descriptive in nature and should not be used to predict or guarantee any particular outcome for any individual, family, or community. No specific result is guaranteed by anything shown or described on this Website.
6. Results and Outcomes May Vary
Any statistics, success stories, participant descriptions, or references to outcomes shown on the Website reflect individual experiences or aggregate historical data and depend on each person’s or community’s unique circumstances. We do not claim, and you should not assume, that all individuals or communities we work with will achieve the same or similar results.
7. Testimonials and Participant Stories
This Website may feature testimonials, stories, and descriptions of experiences submitted by or about individuals connected to ACM’s programs, including program participants, volunteers, donors, and community partners. These reflect the individual experiences and opinions of the specific person at the time shared.
- Each individual’s circumstances, history, and engagement with ACM’s programs are unique, and no outcome described in a testimonial or story is guaranteed for any other individual or community.
- Testimonials and stories displayed on this Website are reviewed by ACM prior to publication and are shared with the permission of the individual involved. They are presented as submitted, except for minor corrections to grammar or typographical errors or edits for length, and the substance and meaning of each testimonial is preserved.
- The views and opinions expressed in testimonials belong solely to the individuals who submitted them and do not represent official positions, guarantees, or clinical or programmatic claims made by ACM. Contributors are not compensated for their submissions unless explicitly disclosed.
7A. Photography, Video, and Testimonial Consent
Given the sensitive circumstances of many individuals connected to ACM’s programs—including current or former justice-involved individuals and at-risk youth—any photographs, video, or testimonials appearing on this Website are used only with the documented consent of the individual depicted or quoted (or, for a minor, their parent or guardian). Individuals who provide such consent may withdraw it for future use at any time by contacting our office; withdrawal of consent will not affect materials already distributed prior to the request. No identifying images, video, or program-participation details are published on this Website without documented consent.
8. Third-Party Links and Content
This Website may contain links to third-party websites, resources, or services—such as our donation-processing platform, social media pages, partner or funder websites, or accessibility tools—that are not owned or controlled by ACM. We do not endorse, and are not responsible for, the accuracy, content, products, services, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Access to any third-party site is at your own risk and subject to that site’s own terms.
8A. Third-Party Review and Social Media Platform Disclaimer
ACM may be listed on, or linked to, third-party platforms such as Google, Facebook, Instagram, GuideStar/Candid, Charity Navigator, or similar sites. Reviews, ratings, comments, and rankings posted on these platforms are submitted or generated independently and are not written, verified, edited, or endorsed by ACM. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or authenticity of any content posted about ACM on a third-party platform, and we are not responsible for it. These platforms operate independently under their own terms of service, not ACM’s.
9. Errors and Omissions
While we strive to keep information on this Website accurate and current, we do not warrant that the Website will be free of errors, omissions, or outdated information, including but not limited to program descriptions, staff information, office hours, or event details. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update information at any time without prior notice.
10. Donations and Financial Information Disclaimer
Any references on this Website to donations, fundraising campaigns, grant funding, or financial information are provided for general informational purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee, offer, or binding commitment regarding the use of any specific gift. Tax-deductibility of a contribution depends on your individual circumstances; ACM will provide a donation receipt, but does not provide tax advice, and donors should consult their own tax advisor. ACM’s tax-exempt and financial status may be verified through ACM directly or through applicable public disclosure resources (such as the IRS or Candid/GuideStar).
11. Changes to This Disclaimer
We may update this Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, our operations, or the Website’s content. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. The “Effective Date” reflects when this Disclaimer was originally adopted and will not change with subsequent updates. Continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Disclaimer.
12. Governing Law
This Disclaimer and any dispute arising out of or related to your use of this Website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any disputes not otherwise resolved shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the District of Columbia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in such courts.
12A. Severability
If any provision of this Disclaimer is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of this Disclaimer shall continue in full force and effect.
12B. Entire Agreement
This Disclaimer, together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and ACM regarding your use of this Website and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understandings, whether written or oral, regarding the same subject matter.
12C. No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of this Disclaimer shall not be considered a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of this Disclaimer will be effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of ACM.
13. Notice of Nondiscrimination
ACM complies with applicable federal civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and with the District of Columbia Human Rights Act of 1977, one of the broadest nondiscrimination laws in the country. ACM does not discriminate against, exclude, or treat people differently on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family responsibilities, political affiliation, source of income, or place of residence or business, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law, in the provision of its programs and services.
ACM provides free aids and services to people with disabilities to communicate effectively with us, such as qualified interpreters and written information in other formats, and free language assistance services to people whose primary language is not English, such as qualified interpreters and translated materials.
