You may have access to information and content of others. You may not copy, upload, download, or share any information or content using the Services unless you have the right to do so. You will be fully responsible and liable for what you copy, share, upload, download, or otherwise use while using the Services.

Talentsky has no obligation to review or monitor, and does not approve, endorse or make any representations or warranties with respect to, User Content. You use all User Content and interact with other Users at your own risk.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users and any other parties with whom you interact; provided, however, that Talentsky reserves the right, but has no obligation, to intercede in such disputes. You agree that Talentsky will not be responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions.

FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS

Fees. If you upgrade your account to a Consumer Premium Account, or otherwise incur charges in connection with your account, you agree to pay all fees or charges to your account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. You must provide Talentsky with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) (“Payment Provider”), as a condition to signing up for a Consumer Premium Account subscription (a “Subscription”). Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card, and you must refer to that agreement, not this Agreement, to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing Talentsky with your Payment Provider and associated payment information, you agree that Talentsky is authorized to immediately invoice your account for all fees and charges due and payable to Talentsky hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required.

Billing Address. You agree to supply all correct and up-to-date payment information to Talentsky, including your billing address. You acknowledge that Talentsky shall use such billing address for the purposes of determining where you are located and from where you are using and accessing the Services. You agree to immediately notify Talentsky of any change in your billing address or the credit card account used for payment hereunder. Talentsky reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting such changes to the Service or by e-mail delivery to you.

Consumer Premium Subscription Fees. You will be responsible for payment of the applicable fees in connection with your Subscription (each, a “Consumer Premium Subscription Fee”) at the time you elect such Subscription, (each, a “Subscription Commencement Date”). Except as set forth in the Agreement, all fees in connection with a Subscription are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and Talentsky for the Subscription until Talentsky accepts your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.

Taxes. The payments required under the Section above (Consumer Premium Service Subscription Fees) do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with the Subscription provided under this Agreement. If Talentsky determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with this Agreement, Talentsky shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under this Section of the Agreement. If any Subscription, services, or payments for any services, under the Agreement are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Talentsky, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Talentsky for any liability or expense Talentsky may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Talentsky’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this Section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.

Special Offers. Talentsky may, from time to time, offer certain incentive or rewards programs, special promotions or other activities (“Special Offers”) to eligible Users. Eligibility to participate in such Special Offers is determined by Talentsky in its sole discretion and we reserve the right to revoke a Special Offer in the event that we determine you are not eligible. Your participation in any Special Offers will be subject to, and governed by, the terms and conditions accompanying the applicable Special Offer, as set by Talentsky in its sole discretion, as well as this Agreement. The eligibility requirements and other limitations and conditions will be disclosed when Talentsky makes the Special Offer available or in other communications made available to you. Talentsky may update, change, modify or terminate a Special Offer at any time without liability to you.

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

Your Subscription will continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with the Agreement. After your initial Subscription period, and again after any subsequent Subscription period, your Subscription will automatically commence following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period, at Talentsky’s then-current price for such Subscription. You agree that your account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your Subscription at least one (1) day prior to the Renewal Commencement Date, by logging into and going to the “Subscription and Payment” page of your “Profile Settings” page. If you do not wish for your Subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your Subscription, please log in and go to the “Subscription and Payment” page on your “Profile Settings” page. If you cancel your Subscription, you may use your Subscription until the end of your then-current Subscription term; your Subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the Consumer Premium Subscription Fee paid for the then-current Subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize Talentsky to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent Subscription period. Upon renewal of your Subscription, if Talentsky does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your account upon demand and/or (b) you agree that Talentsky may either terminate or suspend your Subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new Subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).

MODIFICATIONS, INTERRUPTION, AND TERMINATION

The Services will continue to evolve as we refine features and functionality. We may terminate, suspend, or modify the Services, in general or with respect to you, from time to time without cause and without liability to you. Such reasons may include, without limitation, for example, our inability to provide a feature or component of the Services due to changes in technology or license rights, or our determination that certain portions of the Service are not commercially feasible to maintain.

You acknowledge and accept that we do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our Services, or that operation of our Services will be uninterrupted or error free. You understand that usage of our Services may be interfered with or adversely affected by numerous factors or circumstances outside of our control.

You can stop using our Services any time. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to limit, suspend, or revoke your account, with or without notice, and with or without cause. Reasons for such action may include, without limitation, violation of this Agreement, duplicate accounts, inactivity, failure to use the Services for one full year, or our determination that you may damage our business or reputation. You acknowledge that if your access to the Service is suspended or revoked, you may no longer have access to Your Content, and that if your account is revoked, we may delete all content and files associated with your account unless we are legally required to maintain it. Under the terms of our license to Your Content (above) we reserve the right to retain Your Content for so long as we deem necessary, and indefinitely, subject to the Privacy Policy, to the extent such content is copied or reposted by other Users.

If your registration(s) with, or ability to access, the Services or any other Talentsky property community, is discontinued by Talentsky due to your violation of any portion of this Agreement or for conduct otherwise inappropriate for the community, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Services or any Talentsky properties through use of a different member name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those Talentsky properties to which your access has been terminated. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Talentsky reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.

You are solely responsible for your use of any such websites or resources. If we provide you with any software under an open source license, there may be provisions in those licenses that conflict with this Agreement, in which case the open source provisions will apply with respect to the code to which those provisions apply.

Our use of such trademarks are solely for the purpose of accurately identifying the applicable skill, training or other descriptor; we are not associated with such trademark owners, and no endorsement by the trademark owners is implied by use of such trademarks and trade names.

INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold Talentsky, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “Talentsky Party” and collectively, the “Talentsky Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of, or inability to use, any Services; (c) your violation of this Agreement; (d) your violation of any rights of another party, including any Users; or (e) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Talentsky reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Talentsky in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the Talentsky Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Websites or any Services provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your account, this Agreement and/or your access to the Services.

This Agreement creates no third party beneficiary rights. Failure by Talentsky to enforce a provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted to reflect our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights in this Agreement, and any such attempt is void. Talentsky may, without notice to you, assign its rights and obligations to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business or assets associated with the Services. Talentsky shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, government orders or directions, national emergency, fire, floods, accidents, epidemics, pandemics, quarantine, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
