The Services may provide opportunities for you to post or submit your feedback, comments, ideas, or similar items. Any comments, ideas, or information that you submit through the Services will be considered non-personal, non-confidential, and non-proprietary (other than personal information, as that term is defined in our Privacy Policy).

If you transmit any ideas, information, concepts, know-how or techniques or materials to us through the Services, you hereby grant us a perpetual, unrestricted, sublicensable, assignable, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, transmit, create derivative or collective works, and distribute them in any medium, in whole or in part, including all intellectual property rights therein, and agree that we are free to use them for any purpose.

We may remove or refuse to post any of your contributions for any or no reason in our sole discretion. We may also take any action, including disclosing your identity or other information about you, with respect to any user contribution that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including if we believe that such user contribution violates the Terms of Use, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or could create liability for Hirequity Academy.

Links to Other Websites

The Services may contain links to websites that are not operated by us (including social media platforms). These links are provided for your convenience and do not imply any endorsement of the material on these third-party websites. Since we do not control these websites, we are not responsible for their content. These third-party websites may contain information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. You access and use these websites solely at your own risk. You should read the privacy policy and terms of use of any such site you visit.

Purchasing Access to the Program

The Services may permit you to make a purchase for access to the Program (each an “Order”). We reserve the right to refuse any Order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities of Orders purchased per person or per household. These restrictions may include Orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or Orders that use the same billing and/or mailing address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an Order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the email and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the Order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit Orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by resellers, or persons, entities, or organizations that appear to compete with Hirequity Academy and/or use the Program in violation of these Terms.

Hirequity Academy must receive payment before it will accept an Order. All Orders are final when placed.

Payment is due prior to providing you access to the Program. Your total cost for any Order will include the processing fees and/or taxes shown at the time you submit the Order. All fees paid in connection with an Order are non-refundable.

Hirequity Academy reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Program (or any part thereof) with or without notice. We may from time to time in our sole discretion develop and provide Services updates, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches and other error corrections and/or new features(collectively, including related documentation, “Updates”). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality. You agree that we have no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality.

Prices for the Program are subject to change upon notice from us. Such notice may be provided at any time by posting the changes to the Services, or by notifying you using the contact information you have provided in connection with your Order or account.

Errors will be corrected where discovered, and we reserve the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions including after an order has been submitted and whether or not the Order has been confirmed and your credit card or other payment mechanism charged. Hirequity Academy shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Program.

Hirequity Academy will provide access to the Program in a form and format that is in the sole discretion of Hirequity Academy. Due to licensing restrictions that may apply to the Program, or the content or offerings contained therein, Hirequity Academy reserves the right to remove, modify or replace any specific content (such as, without limitation, text, images, photographs, or videos) of the Program in its sole discretion, without notice or liability to you.

Payments; Receipt of Funds

In order to make a payment via the Services, you may be asked to supply certain relevant information, including your credit or payment card number and expiration date or similar payment information, your billing address, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that you have the right to use any credit or payment card or other payment mechanism that you submit in connection with a payment and that you have all authority necessary to make a payment using the credit card or payment mechanism that you submit. By submitting such information, you grant Hirequity Academy the right to provide such information to third parties for the purposes of facilitating your payment. You acknowledge and agree that Hirequity Academy is not responsible for how any third party credit card or other payment method processor transmits, stores, uses or shares your information.

Security

While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot give absolute assurance that all information will remain secure. Under certain circumstances, it is possible that third parties may be able to intrude on the server and view your information, or view such information in-transit over the Internet and/or through email or other methods. By submitting information to Hirequity Academy, you agree that you are aware of these risks. If you do not wish to submit your information electronically, do not do so; however, in such case you may not be able to make use of the full functionality of the Services. You agree that Hirequity Academy is not responsible or liable for any consequence of illegal acts by third parties, including but not limited to hacking or similar crimes.
