Hand Up Foundation (the "Ministry") (the PMA") Member Agreement Covenant

We are simply a community of private friends who are interested in the sharing of our talents, things, ideas and experiences through mutual exchange of lawful gifts and honor between our members. It is the intention of the Hand Up Foundation Ministry (the PMA) that all who enter the private events are made members of this non-commercial association.

Any members which are engaging in the private events are responsible for setting their own assurances and guarantees between themselves, as the Hand Up Foundation Ministry (the “PMA”) will not offer any.  We are strictly limited to helping willing people to network privately. Therefore, we do not endorse or warrant any items, statements, or expectations.

What are the gifts to the Ministry going toward? These gifts collectively will provide for the venue rent, utilities, marketing, workers, and all such fees required to perform the event, booking or activity for the benefit of the attendees. You are expressly agreeing to exchange lawful gifts and honor under a private relationship, non-commercial.

Member activities in the Hand Up Foundation Ministry (the “PMA”), and any grant or conveyance of gifts to the Ministry or to any other Members, and other consideration exchanged between members, or between members and the PMA’s must be lawful, therefore not commercial. Not commerce, and is not “The exchange of goods, products, services, or public property of any kind. Further, it is not the buying, selling and exchange of articles, or the transportation of persons and property by land, water and air for any commercial interest or purpose at any time under the Member Covenant.”

Member activities within the Hand Up Foundation Ministry (the”PMA”), and, any grant or conveyance of gifts or other Members, or other consideration exchanged is not an association in or with “Affecting Commerce,” “Chamber of Commerce,” “Interstate Commerce,” “Foreign Commerce,” “Interstate Commerce Act,” “Interstate Commerce Commission,” “Intrastate Commerce,” nor any other Relative of Commerce at any time hereunder. (“Non-Commercial Association”)

“It matters not whether a man gives his consent by his words or by his act and deeds.”

“He who is silent is deemed to consent.”

Equity has established certain fundamental principles, or maxims which are the substance of law. Therefore, at all times until the Covenanters take their final breath, equity is the foundation, the length, the breadth, the depth and the height, and all-encompassing authority for this private covenant and private events.

Due to the cumbersome legislative and regulatory burdens involved, we are not licensed to service state and federal agents, officers, employees,  dependents or volunteers of any state or federal franchises. Therefore, participate at your own risk; and all such persons are subject to the Bivens decision, which means they must identify themselves prior to participation in any Hand Up Foundation event, booking or activity.
