Updated: 12/8/22
Food Forest Abundance, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“We” or “Us”) provides a cooperative ecosystem of people and organizations who share a common vision of growing food forests in every community and in every yard around the world to build a free, healthy, and abundant society for generations to come (the “Program”). We and the Program are based upon the voluntary exchange of value and guided by the following Permaculture Ethics (collectively, the “Permaculture Ethics”):
1. Earth care – Rebuild nature’s capital;
2. People care – Nurture self, kin and community; and
3. Future care/Fair share (Voluntary) – Reinvest surplus to create more abundance for SELF AND OTHERS.
We and the Program also strive to adhere to the following Permaculture Principles (the “Permaculture Principles”) in all endeavors:
1. Observe and interact – Take time to engage with nature to design solutions that suit a particular situation;
2. Catch and store energy – Develop systems that collect resources at peak abundance for use in times of need;
3. Obtain a yield – Emphasize projects that generate meaningful rewards;
4. Apply self-regulation and accept feedback – Encourage productivity to ensure that systems function well;
5. Use & value renewable resources & services – Make the best use of nature’s abundance: reduce consumption and dependence on non-renewable resources;
6. Produce no waste – Value and employ all available resources; waste nothing;
7. Design from patterns to details – Observe patterns in nature, business and society and use them to inform designs, while adding layers and details;
8. Integrate rather than segregate – Efficient designs stack functions allowing relationships to develop between design elements, allowing them to work together to support each other;
9. Continuously evolve and improve – Small and consistent adjustments are easier to maintain, make better use of resources, and produce more sustainable outcomes;
10. Use and value diversity – Diversity reduces system-level vulnerability to threats and fully embraces and strengthens the system;
11. Use edges and value the marginal – The border between things is where the most interesting interactions take place. These are often the system’s most valuable, diverse, and productive elements; and
12. Creatively use and respond to change – A positive impact on inevitable change comes from careful observation, followed by well-timed intervention.

The price stated for such Product and Services excludes all applicable taxes and currency exchange settlements. You are solely responsible for paying such taxes or other charges. We may suspend or cancel any Order or any obligation to provide You Products and Services if We do not receive an on time, full payment from You.

You agree to promptly update Your account and other information, including Your email address and payment method details, so We can complete Your Order and contact You as needed in connection with Your Order and the provision of the Products and Services.

Subscription fees are generally charged in advance of the applicable subscription period, and You authorize this. If any payment is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, We reserve the right to collect any applicable return item, rejection or insufficient funds fee, and process any such payment as an Electronic Payment.
(g) Automatic Renewal. If automatic renewals are allowed in your state, We may automatically renew any subscription-based Products and Services at the end of the current period and charge You the then current price for the renewal term.

(h) Statement and Errors. We will provide you with a billing statement. If we make an error on Your bill, You must tell us within thirty (30) days after the error first appears on your bill.

(l) Payments to You. If We owe You a payment, then You agree to timely and accurately provide Us with any information We need to get said payment to You. You are responsible for any taxes and charges You may incur as a result of this payment to You. You must also comply with any other conditions We place on Your right to any payment. If You receive a payment in error, We may reverse or require return of the payment. You agree to cooperate with Us in Our efforts to do this. We may reduce the payment to You without notice to adjust for any previous overpayment.
