Last Updated: July 2026

Welcome to the website of Indiana Child Care Business Alliance Inc. (“ICCBA,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). Indiana Child Care Business Alliance Inc. is listed as an active Indiana Domestic Nonprofit Corporation in the business information provided for this project.

By accessing or using this website, submitting a form, making a payment, registering for an event, becoming a member, downloading a resource, scheduling a meeting, or communicating with us through this website, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

Please do not use this website if you do not agree with these Terms.

1. About ICCBA

Indiana Child Care Business Alliance Inc. exists to support, educate, organize, and advocate for licensed child care businesses across Indiana. ICCBA’s broader positioning is to help represent child care as essential workforce infrastructure for Indiana’s families, employers, communities, and economy.

This website may be used to share information, collect inquiries, accept membership applications, process payments, register participants for events, distribute resources, schedule meetings, and communicate with members, supporters, operators, employers, policymakers, and the public.

2. Use of This Website

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes.

You may not use this website to:

Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, forms, payment tools, member areas, databases, or accounts.

Submit false, misleading, fraudulent, or incomplete information.

Interfere with the security, performance, or functionality of the website.

Copy, scrape, reproduce, sell, or misuse website content without written permission.

Upload or submit harmful code, spam, malware, abusive content, or unlawful materials.

Misrepresent your identity, organization, authority, membership status, or affiliation.

We reserve the right to restrict access, remove submissions, cancel registrations, decline membership, suspend access, or take other action if we believe these Terms have been violated.

3. No Legal, Tax, Financial, Insurance, or Regulatory Advice

The information on this website is provided for general educational, advocacy, membership, and informational purposes only.

Nothing on this website should be considered legal, tax, financial, insurance, licensing, compliance, regulatory, or professional advice. Child care laws, licensing requirements, tax rules, employment requirements, insurance requirements, and public policy issues may change and may vary based on your specific circumstances.

You should consult qualified legal, tax, financial, insurance, licensing, or compliance professionals before making decisions for your business or organization.

4. Membership Applications and Eligibility

ICCBA may offer membership opportunities for licensed child care operators, child care business owners, employers, corporate partners, supporting organizations, individuals, or other stakeholders.

Submitting a membership form or payment does not automatically guarantee acceptance, approval, voting rights, board participation, sponsorship status, public recognition, access to every resource, or any specific benefit unless expressly confirmed by ICCBA in writing.

ICCBA reserves the right to approve, deny, suspend, or terminate membership at its discretion, including for inaccurate information, nonpayment, misconduct, conflict with our mission, misuse of ICCBA materials, or violation of these Terms.

5. Membership Dues, Contributions, Donations, Sponsorships, and Payments

This website may allow users to pay membership dues, event fees, sponsorships, contributions, donations, or other charges online.

By submitting payment information, you represent that:

You are authorized to use the payment method provided.

The information you provide is accurate and complete.

You authorize ICCBA and its payment processors to charge the amount shown at checkout.

You understand that payments may be processed by third-party payment providers.

All prices, dues, fees, sponsorship levels, contribution amounts, and payment options are subject to change unless otherwise stated in writing.

6. Recurring Payments and Automatic Renewals

ICCBA may offer recurring membership dues, recurring contributions, installment payments, subscriptions, or automatic renewals.

When a recurring payment option is offered, the payment page or checkout process should disclose the amount, billing frequency, renewal terms, cancellation method, and any applicable deadlines. By selecting a recurring payment option, you authorize ICCBA and its payment processors to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis until canceled.

You may cancel future recurring payments by contacting ICCBA using the contact information listed on this page or by following the cancellation instructions provided at the time of signup.

Cancellation stops future charges but does not automatically refund prior payments unless required by law or approved by ICCBA.

Recurring-payment and negative-option programs should provide clear terms and a reasonable cancellation process; the FTC has issued guidance and rulemaking around recurring subscriptions and “click-to-cancel” practices.

7. Refund Policy

Unless otherwise stated on a specific payment page, membership dues, sponsorships, event registrations, contributions, and donations are generally non-refundable.

ICCBA may review refund requests on a case-by-case basis. Approved refunds may take several business days to process and may be subject to payment processor timelines, fees, or limitations.

ICCBA reserves the right to cancel and refund any payment if we believe it was submitted in error, violates these Terms, creates a conflict of interest, or cannot be accepted for legal, compliance, or organizational reasons.

8. Tax-Deductibility of Contributions

ICCBA may accept donations, contributions, membership payments, sponsorships, or other support. The tax treatment of any payment may depend on ICCBA’s tax-exempt status, the type of payment, the benefits received, and applicable IRS rules.

No statement on this website should be interpreted as tax advice. Donors, members, sponsors, and supporters should consult their own tax advisors regarding deductibility.

For charitable contributions, the IRS states that donors generally need proper records, and contributions of $250 or more generally require a written acknowledgment.

9. Online Forms and Information You Submit

Our website may include contact forms, membership applications, founding member forms, payment forms, event registrations, surveys, newsletter forms, downloadable resource forms, meeting request forms, and other submission tools.

By submitting information through this website, you agree that:

The information you provide is accurate and complete.

You have authority to submit information on behalf of yourself or your organization.

ICCBA may use your submission to respond to your request, process membership, manage payments, register you for events, send resources, contact you, maintain records, and support organizational operations.

ICCBA may store and process your submission using secure third-party systems.

You should not submit sensitive personal information unless specifically requested.

Submission of a form does not create a confidential, attorney-client, fiduciary, advisory, or professional relationship.

10. Communications by Email, Phone, and Text Message

By submitting your contact information through this website, registering for an event, joining as a member, making a payment, requesting information, or otherwise contacting ICCBA, you authorize ICCBA to contact you by email, phone, text message, voicemail, direct mail, or other communication channels regarding your inquiry, membership, payment, event registration, advocacy updates, resources, organizational news, or related opportunities.

Message and data rates may apply for text messages. Message frequency may vary.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link provided in the email. You may opt out of text messages by replying STOP or by otherwise clearly communicating that you no longer wish to receive text messages. FCC rules recognize that consumers may revoke consent to unwanted robocalls or robotexts in a reasonable manner.

Transactional or administrative messages may still be sent when necessary to complete a transaction, process a membership, confirm registration, respond to a request, or comply with legal obligations.

11. Event Registrations, Meetings, and Scheduling

ICCBA may allow users to register for events, reserve seats, schedule meetings, request consultations, attend webinars, participate in member calls, or join advocacy-related sessions.

Event dates, times, speakers, formats, locations, capacity, agendas, and access details may change. ICCBA may cancel, reschedule, or modify events at any time.

Registration does not guarantee admission if capacity is limited, payment is incomplete, eligibility requirements are not met, or the event is restricted to certain members or invited participants.

By attending an ICCBA event, you agree to conduct yourself professionally and respectfully.

12. Member Portals, Online Accounts, and Restricted Content

ICCBA may offer member-only pages, private resources, online portals, downloadable materials, training content, advocacy updates, directories, or other restricted content.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You may not share your account access with unauthorized users.

ICCBA may suspend or terminate account access if we believe an account has been misused, compromised, shared improperly, or used in violation of these Terms.

Restricted content is provided for authorized users only and may not be copied, sold, redistributed, published, or used for commercial purposes without written permission from ICCBA.

13. Digital Resources, Downloads, and Educational Materials

ICCBA may provide reports, guides, templates, white papers, newsletters, policy summaries, advocacy updates, checklists, presentations, videos, forms, or other downloadable materials.

These materials are provided for general informational purposes only. They may not be complete, current, or applicable to every situation.

You may use ICCBA resources internally for your own organization unless otherwise stated. You may not resell, rebrand, reproduce, distribute, publicly post, or claim ownership of ICCBA materials without written permission.

14. Advocacy, Policy, and Public Statements

ICCBA may publish policy positions, advocacy updates, legislative alerts, public comments, calls to action, research summaries, coalition statements, and other materials related to child care, workforce infrastructure, business operations, licensing, insurance, funding, education, and public policy.

These statements represent ICCBA’s organizational perspective at the time published and may change as facts, laws, regulations, funding conditions, or policy priorities evolve.

Participation in ICCBA does not mean every member agrees with every statement, position, or strategy unless expressly stated.

15. User Submissions, Testimonials, and Stories

You may have the opportunity to submit comments, testimonials, member stories, business information, photos, logos, feedback, survey responses, policy concerns, or other content.

By submitting content to ICCBA, you grant ICCBA permission to review, store, edit, summarize, and use that content for organizational, membership, advocacy, educational, marketing, reporting, or communication purposes, unless you clearly state otherwise in writing.

You represent that you have the right to submit the content and that it does not violate the rights of any person or organization.

ICCBA may choose whether or not to publish, remove, edit, or use any submitted content.

16. Business Names, Logos, and Member Recognition

If your organization becomes a member, sponsor, founding member, partner, or supporter, ICCBA may display your business name, logo, city, website, membership level, or general organizational information for recognition purposes unless you request otherwise in writing.

You grant ICCBA limited permission to use your submitted name and logo for recognition, directory, event, sponsorship, membership, and promotional purposes connected to ICCBA.

ICCBA does not claim ownership of your business name, logo, or trademarks.

17. Intellectual Property

All website content, including text, graphics, logos, icons, design elements, page layouts, images, videos, downloads, policy materials, forms, reports, and other materials, is owned by ICCBA or used with permission unless otherwise noted.

Unauthorized use of ICCBA’s name, logo, materials, website content, or brand elements is prohibited.

18. Third-Party Services and Links

This website may include links to third-party websites, payment processors, scheduling tools, email systems, video platforms, event tools, social media platforms, maps, embedded content, or other external services.

Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

19. Payment Processing and Security

Online payments may be handled by third-party payment processors. ICCBA does not directly control all aspects of payment processing, card authorization, processor fees, chargebacks, account holds, failed payments, fraud screening, or settlement timelines.

You agree not to submit fraudulent payments, dispute valid charges improperly, or use payment systems in violation of applicable laws or processor rules.

While ICCBA takes reasonable measures to protect website operations and submitted information, no website, form, payment system, email system, or online platform can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
