Welcome to Neutopia!  We are excited to have you join our community.

End Users of Neutopia must agree to the separate Neutopia End User Service Agreement available at www.neutopia.co.

  1. The Neutopia Service

Neutopia operates the learning and community building service available at neutopia.co and related domains.

Neutopia Content Managers source, post and manage content within their Neutopia Channel(s) and may invite anyone to access their content as an End User (for example business colleagues, students, team members,  friends, fellow interest group members etc).  Once invited by a Content Manager, End Users can join the Content Managers channel to view, access and interact with content, and other End Users. End Users may join multiple Neutopia Channels.

Each Content Manager is responsible for the management of their Neutopia Channel and their End Users.

Neutopia Service is provided on an “AS IS” basis.  

Neutopia may revise the Neutopia Service at any time.  

Neutopia does not make any representation or warranty that some or all the Neutopia service will always be available.  The availability of the Neutopia Service may be impacted from time to time for a variety of reasons including but not limited to actions by third party service providers, maintenance and support requirements.
