Use of the Site
You may use the Site for lawful, personal and non-commercial purposes. You agree not to misuse the Site, interfere with its operation, try to access accounts or data that are not yours, or post content that is unlawful, abusive or infringes the rights of others. We may suspend accounts or remove comments that break these rules.

Articles, videos, podcasts, graphics and other content on the Site belong to IFI or to the authors who granted us permission, and are protected by copyright. You may share links and short quotations with attribution and a link back to the original article. Republishing full articles requires our written permission. Opinions of guest writers are their own.

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity under your account. Tell us right away if you think your account has been used without permission.
Donations
- Donations to IFI are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. We send a receipt by email for each gift. No goods or services are provided in exchange for a donation unless the receipt says otherwise.
- Recurring (monthly) donations are charged on the same day each month until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from My Account or by contacting us.
- Donations are generally non-refundable. See our Returns & Refunds policy for errors and exceptions.
- IFI has full discretion over the use of donated funds in support of its mission.
Memberships and subscriptions
Paid memberships renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual) at the price shown when you signed up, until you cancel. You can cancel from My Account; access continues until the end of the paid period. We will tell you in advance of any price change.
Store orders
Prices are in U.S. dollars. We try to describe products and prices accurately, but if an error occurs we may cancel the order and refund you. Orders ship within the United States. Title and risk of loss pass to you when the order is delivered to the carrier. Digital downloads are licensed for personal use only.

Tickets are for the named event, date and attendee. IFI may change speakers, schedules or venues when needed, and will notify registered attendees of significant changes. If IFI cancels an event, ticket holders receive a full refund. We may refuse entry or remove anyone who disrupts an event. Photos and video may be taken at public events and used by IFI.
Payments
Card payments are processed securely by Stripe. By paying, you confirm you are authorized to use the payment method.
