WELCOME, BADDIE.

MEMBERS OF BADDIE UNIVERSITY MUST COMPLETE THE VALIDATION PROCESS. AS PART OF THIS PROCESS, EVERY MEMBER IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE BADDIE AUTHENTICATION FORM ONCE AS PART OF THEIR MEMBERSHIP. THE PURPOSE OF AUTHENTICATION IS TO KNOW WHO IS ENTERING OUR COMMUNITY AND TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE BADDIE UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE. BADDIE UNIVERSITY IS AN INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY CREATED FOR WOMEN 18 AND OLDER. AUTHENTICATION ALLOWS BU TO REVIEW EACH MEMBERSHIP SUBMISSION CAREFULLY, CONFIRM ELIGIBILITY, AND MAINTAIN A COMMUNITY THAT ALIGNS WITH OUR STANDARDS. YOUR BADDIE AUTHENTICATION FORM MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF BECOMING A MEMBER. MEMBERS WHO DO NOT COMPLETE THE AUTHENTICATION PROCESS WITHIN THIS TIMEFRAME MAY HAVE THEIR ACCOUNT PLACED ON HOLD UNTIL THEIR MEMBERSHIP HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY VALIDATED. ACCESS MAY REMAIN RESTRICTED WHILE A SUBMISSION IS INCOMPLETE, UNDER REVIEW, OR INCONCLUSIVE. MEMBERS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING: {I} FULL NAME; {II} EMAIL ADDRESS; AND {III} SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM / ACCOUNT.

THESE ARE THE MINIMUM REQUIRED IDENTIFIERS FOR AUTHENTICATION. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, SUCH AS A PHONE NUMBER, PHYSICAL ADDRESS, OR OTHER CONTACT INFORMATION, MAY BE REQUESTED OR VOLUNTARILY PROVIDED WHEN APPLICABLE. HOWEVER, MEMBERS ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE THEIR PHONE NUMBER OR ADDRESS SIMPLY TO COMPLETE AUTHENTICATION. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT OMITTING OPTIONAL INFORMATION MAY AFFECT YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR CERTAIN MEMBER PERKS, COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES, INVITATIONS, PHYSICAL MAILINGS, OR OTHER EXPERIENCES THAT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO FACILITATE PARTICIPATION. CHOOSING NOT TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY INVALIDATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP; HOWEVER, BU CANNOT PROVIDE AN EXPERIENCE THAT REQUIRES INFORMATION YOU HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO SUPPLY. BY SUBMITTING THE BADDIE AUTHENTICATION FORM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AND MEET THE AGE REQUIREMENT FOR MEMBERSHIP. PROVIDING FALSE OR MISLEADING INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR AGE MAY RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP. BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR FORM, MAKE SURE THAT: {I} YOUR REQUIRED INFORMATION IS ACCURATE; {II} YOUR NAME AND EMAIL CORRESPOND WITH YOUR MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNT; {III} YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA INFORMATION IS CURRENT AND ACCESSIBLE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT AUTHENTICATION; {IV} YOU HAVE ACCURATELY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT YOU ARE 18 OR OLDER; {V} YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY BU’S COMMUNITY STANDARDS; {VI} YOU UNDERSTAND THAT INCOMPLETE, MISLEADING, OR INCONCLUSIVE INFORMATION MAY DELAY VALIDATION OR RESULT IN ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS.

WE EXAMINE EACH SUBMISSION CAREFULLY BECAUSE WHO IS ALLOWED INTO THE COMMUNITY MATTERS. BADDIE UNIVERSITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO EVALUATE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED FOR ACCURACY, CONSISTENCY, COMPLETENESS, AND ALIGNMENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY STANDARDS. AUTHENTICATION IS NOT AN AUTOMATIC APPROVAL SIMPLY BECAUSE A FORM HAS BEEN SUBMITTED. IF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS INSUFFICIENT, CONTRADICTORY, UNVERIFIABLE, OR OTHERWISE INCONCLUSIVE, BU MAY REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR CLARIFICATION BEFORE VALIDATING THE ACCOUNT. IF ELIGIBILITY CANNOT REASONABLY BE ESTABLISHED, THE ACCOUNT MAY REMAIN RESTRICTED OR BE SUBJECT TO TERMINATION. OUR REVIEW PROCESS EXISTS TO PROTECT BOTH THE INDIVIDUAL MEMBER AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. AUTHENTICATION IS ALSO AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT MEMBERSHIP AT BADDIE UNIVERSITY COMES WITH AN EXPECTATION OF CONDUCT. ALL MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO UNDERSTAND AND ABIDE BY BADDIE CONDUCT AND THE STANDARDS ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT THE SAFETY, DIGNITY, PRIVACY, AND INTEGRITY OF THE BU COMMUNITY. BADDIE UNIVERSITY MAY TERMINATE A MEMBERSHIP IF A MEMBER: {I} VIOLATES BU COMMUNITY STANDARDS OR BADDIE CONDUCT; {II} PROVIDES FALSE, FRAUDULENT, OR INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING INFORMATION;{III} FAILS TO MEET THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR MEMBERSHIP; {IV} PROVIDES INFORMATION THAT IS INCONCLUSIVE OR CANNOT REASONABLY ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY; {V} ENGAGES IN CONDUCT THAT COMPROMISES THE SAFETY, PRIVACY, OR INTEGRITY OF THE COMMUNITY; OR {VI} ATTEMPTS TO CIRCUMVENT, MANIPULATE, OR INTERFERE WITH THE AUTHENTICATION PROCESS.

MEMBERSHIP TERMINATION RESULTING FROM A VIOLATION OF BU STANDARDS OR AUTHENTICATION REQUIREMENTS IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND. MEMBERS ARE ONLY REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION DESIGNATED AS MANDATORY ON THE AUTHENTICATION FORM. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE REQUESTED WHEN REASONABLY NECESSARY FOR A PARTICULAR MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT, ACTIVITY, COMMUNICATION, OR VERIFICATION PURPOSE. MEMBERS SHOULD PROVIDE TRUTHFUL AND CURRENT INFORMATION AND SHOULD ONLY SUBMIT INFORMATION THEY ARE COMFORTABLE PROVIDING. BADDIE UNIVERSITY IS MORE THAN A WEBSITE OR COLLECTION OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES. IT IS A COMMUNITY. THE PEOPLE WHO ENTER THAT COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTE TO ITS CULTURE, SAFETY, CONVERSATIONS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND OVERALL EXPERIENCE. AUTHENTICATION GIVES BU A STRUCTURED WAY TO ESTABLISH ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE BEGINNING AND HELPS ENSURE THAT MEMBERSHIP REMAINS ALIGNED WITH THE ENVIRONMENT WE ARE INTENTIONALLY BUILDING. ONCE YOUR AUTHENTICATION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REVIEWED AND VALIDATED, YOU CAN CONTINUE ENJOYING THE BADDIE UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE AS AN AUTHENTICATED MEMBER.
