Sifters Terms & Conditions

Thank you for your participation in Sift’s Digital Trust & Safety community site - what we refer to as “Sifters”. We’ve created the Sifters community as part of Sift products and services to facilitate knowledge sharing among Sift, you and your peers, about our products and services and the Digital Trust & Safety (DT&S) industry. In order to create and maintain an environment of respectful, productive and lawful conversation, we’ve established these rules, terms and conditions (these “Terms”).

First, by registering for a Sifters account, and/or accessing or using our Sifters site (currently located at community.sift.com), you agree to the Terms. If you are participating in Sifters on behalf of your employer or other entity, then “Customer” or “you” means that entity. Further, if you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of your employer or another entity, you represent and warrant that: (i) you have full legal authority to bind such entity to the Terms; (ii) you have read and understand the Terms; and (iii) you agree to the Terms on behalf of the party that you represent. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you should not access, visit or participate in the Sifters community.

Throughout these Terms, when we refer to “we”, “us” or “Sift”, we mean Sift Science, Inc., a Delaware corporation. All references to “Sifters” include this website.
