Terms of Participation.

Independent Organization

The Order of the Sith Lords is an independent, real-world, Sith-inspired philosophical community. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lucasfilm, Disney, or any Star Wars rights holder. The organization does not assert that fictional supernatural powers exist.

Membership

Submitting an application does not create a member account or guarantee acceptance. Approved applicants receive an individual enrollment invitation. Member ranks, Council offices, sphere assignments, and master–apprentice relationships are separate organizational roles governed by the Order's procedures.

Conduct and Participation

Members agree to follow the community code of conduct, participate in good faith, respect privacy and intellectual property, and avoid unlawful, coercive or abusive behavior. The Order may moderate discussions and suspend accounts for safety, security or serious violations, subject to review procedures.

Projects and Research

Projects are collaborative initiatives, not authorization to conduct regulated experiments, offer medical treatment, dispense medicines, provide professional advice, or ignore research ethics and applicable laws. Projects involving human participants, medical or scientific research, fundraising or other regulated activities require qualified oversight and any necessary approvals before activity begins.

Member Contributions

Members retain their rights in original materials unless they expressly agree otherwise in writing. Posting content grants the Order the limited permission needed to display it to its intended authorized audience. No general transfer of copyright or royalty rights is implied.

The service is evolving; features may change or be unavailable. Official policies may be updated, with material changes communicated as appropriate. Purchases, payment processing and merchandise fulfillment are not currently offered by the website unless specifically identified as active.
