                              The Sign Up Page

                              Please read and sign the Privacy Agreement below which serves as a membership application. Then press "submit" and below that press "add to cart" button to pay the $20 per person. This is a Google shopping cart. You will need a Google account to use it which most people have. But if you don't have a Google account, go tohttps://accounts.google.com/newaccount and fill out the form. It's easy. We are sorry but we do not have Paypal. If you are joining as a couple, both of you need to sign and pay individually. 

                              A note about the Privacy Agreement
                              Our Privacy Agreement is important. Please read it. When you become a member of Anakosha by signing it, you are promising to not tell outsiders anything about the people you meet through Anakosha, or give the password to non-members. While anyone on the globe can become a member of Anakosha, we are mostly a local group based in Southwest Florida. We are a sincere, honest and responsible group with ethics and moral accountability. We want all of our members to be protected and to play nice together, so we ask everyone to do the same in return. We are here to protect YOUR personal privacy, so please safe guard others' as well. 

                              A note about your personal information
                              If you are a committed couple, you are still signing up as a single individual. We have found that couples are becoming harder to keep track of with many couples in transition and dissolving their relationships. So both of you sign up as singles but be sure to put the name of your committed partner in the "committed partner" space.
                              We assure you that your information will be kept strictly confidential and not be given out or sold.


                              Privacy Agreement

                              1.  Representation of good faith
                              We represent that we approach Anakosha and its affiliated groups, members and attendees ("the beneficiaries") in a sincere desire to learn about and possibly participate in the philosophy it teaches, intending no harm, interference or disruption to the organization or to the lives of any who adhere to its precepts.  In consideration of being permitted to attend an event sponsored by Anakosha, we agree as follows.  

                              2.  Protection of privacy
                              We recognize that the philosophy of Anakosha is controversial, and that activities conducted in pursuance of it are also, and we will respect the privacy of the beneficiaries, including but not limited to the following: (a) we will not divulge the identity of anyone as a member of Anakosha  to anyone else without their permission; (b) we will not discuss or disclose any of our experiences in Anakosha with anyone outside Anakosha, without the permission of Anakosha, except that we may discuss our experiences in a way which does not permit the beneficiaries to be identified;  (c) we will not disclose the location of any place where we have attended any activities of Anakosha without the consent of Anakosha.  We are not offended by nudity or sexual interaction in our presence in private settings.  

                              3.  Provision as to police officers
                              Anakosha understands that police have a duty to enforce laws and to investigate suspected violations of them, but that the U.S. and Florida Constitutions limit the rights of officers to do certain things without consent.  We warrant that, if we are police officers, or agents of the government of any kind, we are present at any Anakosha event only in our private, individual capacities.  We warrant that, if the foregoing statement should prove to be false, we are investigating any of the beneficiaries without disclosing our official capacity or purpose, and that our presence on any Anakosha premises, or those of its affiliates or members, is an entry into private premises without consent, in violation of the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the privacy clause of the Florida Constitution; we further warrant that we are here at the direction of our employers and are acting within the scope of our employment.  (a) We stipulate that an appropriate amount of liquidated damages for the illegal taking of evidence which results in legal process, civil or criminal, against any of the beneficiaries is five dollars times the number of residents in the county in which the violation occurred, which reflects a reasonable estimate of probable compensatory damages for loss of privacy, including humiliation, emotional distress, necessity to pay legal fees, loss of employment or advancement, and other injuries, the amount of which is uncertain.  This amount shall be awarded to each beneficiary against whom civil or criminal process is brought, including execution of a search warrant.  (b)  If no process is executed but evidence is gathered, the amount shall be two and one half dollars times the number of county residents, awardable to each beneficiary named or described by the evidence; we acknowledge that Anakosha and all beneficiaries are affected to some degree by a violation of this subparagraph, consisting of a loss of privacy and a fear that unwarranted charges will someday be brought.  A final award under this subparagraph shall not prevent a subsequent proceeding if charges are thereafter filed against a beneficiary, but the first award shall be an offset against the later award.

                              4.  Provision as to members of the press
                              We represent that, if we are members of the press (including television), we are present at any Anakosha event only in our private, individual capacities.  We warrant that, if the foregoing statement proves to be false, we are here at the direction of our employers and are acting within the scope of our employment; that we are violating the rights of the beneficiaries to privacy, under common law and the Florida Constitution; and that an appropriate amount of liquidated damages for any published report made which portrays or describes the activities of any beneficiary is ten dollars times the number of readers or viewers of any medium which publishes the report, which reflects a reasonable estimate of probable compensatory damages for loss of privacy, including humiliation, emotional distress, necessity to pay legal fees, loss of employment or advancement, and other injuries, the amount of which is uncertain.  This amount shall be awarded to each beneficiary named in the report or described in such a way as to permit identification of the beneficiary by application of the description to publicly available information.

                              5.  Indemnity:  applies to all

                              We agree to indemnify and hold harmless the beneficiaries for any harm resulting from our violation of this agreement.  If we knowingly give information to a journalist or law enforcement officer, we are liable (a) under the terms of paragraphs 3 or 4, and the beneficiaries may elect liquidated damages under either of  those paragraphs which applies, or (b) the indemnification provision of this paragraph, in order to establish the amount of awardable damages.  The measure of damages for purposes of indemnification shall be the same as in an action sounding in tort for invasion of privacy, plus any lost wages resulting from loss of employment due to a violation of this agreement.  The beneficiaries are entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, both for the enforcement of this agreement and for the prosecution or defense by the beneficiaries of any other legal action initiated as a consequence of our breaching this agreement.  The pursuit of any other remedy, including tort, is permitted in addition to the above provisions.  

                              6.  Notice of compelled or requested testimony

                              We agree to notify Anakosha immediately upon receiving information that either of us will be required or requested to give evidence to any public official or court in any matter relating to Anakosha.  We agree to assert all available privileges, including this agreement, and not to give such evidence unless compelled by a court.  (Remember, you can politely say NO to a police officer requesting a statement.  It’s your right.)

                              7.  Arbitration  
                              In the event of a dispute under this agreement, it shall be enforced by binding arbitration.  The arbitration shall take place in Ft. Myers, Florida, under Florida law, and under the International Rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless the parties agree on different rules.  

                              8.  Rights among beneficiaries
                              Anakosha is an indispensable party to any proceeding to redress a violation of this agreement.  Because the interests of Anakosha are invariably involved in any such violation, and because Anakosha assists in the bringing of such proceedings, Anakosha shall be entitled to 25% of the monetary award of any other beneficiary in any such proceeding.

                              9.  Duration and limitations
                              This agreement shall continue in force and apply to all attended events and communications between beneficiaries.  The period of limitations for any violation of this agreement, including representations and warranties, shall not commence as to a beneficiary until that beneficiary receives actual knowledge of the violation, and shall not be less than four years wherever an action under this agreement is brought.
