Acceptance of These Terms
Welcome to Open Door Peace.
These Terms of Use apply when you visit, access, register for, or participate in the Open Door Peace website, Resource Center, community spaces, learning programs, guided assistance, or related online services.
By using the website, you agree to follow these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Community Standards, and any additional instructions provided for a particular service.
When you do not agree with these Terms, please do not create an account or use an interactive service.
Our Purpose
Open Door Peace provides public information, practical learning, community connection, language support, guided do-it-yourself assistance, and continuing support services.
The website is designed to help visitors understand available resources and take informed next steps.
Open Door Peace is not a government agency and is not affiliated with a government office unless a page clearly states otherwise.
General Information Only
Public website content is provided for general educational and informational purposes.
Information may become incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate because laws, policies, fees, programs, medical guidance, agency procedures, deadlines, and outside websites can change.
Visitors should confirm important information through the responsible government agency, healthcare provider, qualified professional, or other official source before acting.
When Open Door Peace information conflicts with an official source, the official source controls.
No Professional Relationship
Reading website information, sending a message, creating an account, attending a program, or receiving general assistance does not automatically create:
- An attorney-client relationship.
- A representative-client relationship.
- A doctor-patient relationship.
- A therapist-client relationship.
- A financial adviser-client relationship.
- A fiduciary relationship.
- A guarantee of continuing service.
A professional relationship exists only when an appropriately qualified person expressly agrees to provide that service and any required written agreement has been completed.
Immigration Information and Assistance
Open Door Peace may publish or explain publicly available immigration information and may provide applicant-directed clerical assistance when legally permitted.
Unless assistance is provided by a licensed attorney or an authorized accredited representative working through a recognized organization, Open Door Peace does not:
- Provide immigration legal advice.
- Decide whether a person qualifies for an immigration benefit.
- Select an immigration benefit, application, petition, or legal strategy for someone.
- Interpret a person’s facts under immigration law.
- Recommend how a person should answer a legal question.
- Represent a person before an immigration agency or court.
- Guarantee approval, processing time, or any other outcome.
The applicant remains responsible for reviewing all information, understanding what is submitted, and confirming that every answer and document is accurate.
Anyone needing immigration legal advice should consult a licensed attorney or an authorized accredited representative.
Health and Medical Information
Health and cancer information is provided for general education, resource navigation, and practical support.
It is not medical diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, emergency care, or a substitute for advice from a physician, pharmacist, nurse, or other qualified healthcare professional.
Do not delay or discontinue medical care because of information found on this website.
Call emergency services or seek immediate professional help when a person may be facing a medical or safety emergency.
Benefits and Public Assistance
Open Door Peace may explain publicly available information about public benefits and assistance programs.
Eligibility, payment amounts, coverage, approval, denial, renewal, and processing decisions are made by the responsible government agency or program administrator.
Open Door Peace cannot guarantee eligibility, approval, continued benefits, or a particular outcome.
AI-Assisted Information
Open Door Peace may use artificial intelligence to organize information, assist with language access, prepare drafts, explain public resources, or support learning and administrative tasks.
AI-generated information can be incomplete, outdated, misunderstood, or incorrect.
Users must review important information and verify it through official sources or appropriately qualified professionals before relying on it.
AI assistance does not replace human judgment, professional advice, or the user’s responsibility for decisions and submissions.
Accounts and Registration
Visitors may read public information without registering.
Registration may be required for guided DIY assistance, YANA assistance, community participation, document or progress tracking, follow-up services, or other continuing support.
You agree to:
- Provide accurate and current registration information.
- Protect your password and account access.
- Use only your own account unless you are legally authorized to act for another person.
- Notify Open Door Peace when you believe an account has been misused.
- Update important contact information when it changes.
Open Door Peace may refuse, suspend, restrict, or close an account when reasonably necessary to protect a person, the community, the organization, or the website.
Children and Minors
Children may use general public learning information with appropriate adult guidance.
Children under 13 may not independently create an account or directly submit personal information through website forms.
A parent or legal guardian must complete registration or assistance requests on behalf of a child under 13.
Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising a minor’s use of the website and determining whether information or activities are appropriate for that child.
