MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
I understand that the fellow members of the Association that provide products and services, do so in the capacity of a fellow member and not in the capacity as a licensed education facility. I further understand that within the association no retailer-customer relationship exists but only a contract member-member Association relationship.
In addition, I have freely chosen to change my legal status as a public consumer/customer to a private member of the Association. I further understand that it is entirely my own responsibility to consider the recommendations and products offered to me by my fellow members and to educate myself as to the efficacy, risks, and desirability of the same and the acceptance of the offered or recommended products and is my own carefully considered decision.
Any request by me to a fellow member to assist me or provide me with the aforementioned recommendations or products is my own free decision in an exercise of my rights and made by me for the benefit, and I agree to hold the Trustee(s), staff and other worker members and the Association harmless from any unintentional liability for the results of such recommendations and products, except for harm that results from instances of a clear and present danger of substantive evil as determined by the Association, as stated and defined by the United States Supreme Court.

The person best qualified to perform services to members of the Association and entrust them to select other members to assist them in carrying out that service. Stephanie Seliga-Soulseed will be the trustee and manager of this non profit until a vote is conducted in the future by a quorum of the Non Profit.

Because the privacy and security of membership records maintained within the Association, which have been held to be inviolate by the U.S. Supreme Court, the undersigned member waives complaint process. Any customer/consumer records kept by the association will be strictly protected and confidential and only released upon written request of the member.

I agree to join the Association, a private-membership association under common law, whose members seek to help each other achieve better health, happier families, thriving children and live longer with good quality community education.
I understand that the providers who are fellow members of the Association are offering me products, services and benefits that do not necessarily conform to conventional educational products/offerings on the market.
As a member, I accept the goal of raising free thinking, moral adults, requires my own commitment to be just that. Additionally, no pedagogy can guarantee an outcome in and of itself. We are but one piece in the greater reality of the lives of our members that lead to their thriving and their thriving children. Other aspects of informed consent will take place in my discussions with the providers and my fellow members of the Association.
My activities within the Association are a private matter that I refuse to share with State Medical Board(s), State Educational Board(s), DEL, EOC, and any other governmental agency without expressed specific permission from the affairs manager appointed by the PMA AND NonProfit hired to assist with the affairs.
