PRIVACY
See HeavyConnect's Privacy Policy at HeavyConnect.com/index.php/privacy-policy for information and notices concerning HeavyConnect's collection and use of your personal information.
ACCOUNT REGISTRATION
In order to access the HeavyConnect Service, you must register to create an account ("Account") and become a Member. When registering with HeavyConnect you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself (or, if applicable, the Corporate Member you represent) as prompted by the HeavyConnect Service's registration form (such information being the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the HeavyConnect Service (or any portion thereof).
You may not authorize any third party (other than, if applicable, the employees, consultants or agents of the Corporate Member you represent) to access or use the HeavyConnect Service on your behalf. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the user ID and password, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your user ID or password. You agree to immediately notify HeavyConnect of any unauthorized use of your user ID or password or any other breach of security. HeavyConnect cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorized use of your account.
By providing us with your email address, you agree to receive all required notices electronically, to that email address. From time to time, HeavyConnect will use this email address to send you notifications about product updates and improvements, company news and events, and updates from our community.
FEES AND PAYMENT
Signing up for the HeavyConnect paid service or providing payment information to HeavyConnect after being prompted to do so, you agree to the pricing, payment and billing policies as set forth (a) herein, (b) on the Site and/or (c) if applicable, in a separately executed or accepted purchase order. All fees paid for the HeavyConnect Service are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms of Service. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars. You are solely responsible for the payment of, and shall pay when due, all applicable sales and use taxes and similar fees now in force, enacted or imposed in the future on the delivery of HeavyConnect Service and/or any related transactions (except for taxes assessed on HeavyConnect's net income or personal property). If for any reason HeavyConnect pays any such taxes, duties or excises, you will reimburse HeavyConnect for such taxes, duties or excises, other than taxes on HeavyConnect's net income.
HeavyConnect Service packages have a default term of 12 months. If your selected HeavyConnect Service package requires a recurring subscription fee, your HeavyConnect Service package will automatically renew, unless you change your billing settings to month-to-month, we terminate it, or you notify us by email (Support@HeavyConnect.com) of your decision to terminate your current HeavyConnect Service package. You must cancel any automatically renewing HeavyConnect Service package before it renews in order to avoid billing of subscription fees for the renewal term to your credit card. All fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. If your HeavyConnect Service package is for a term of 12 months or longer, your subscription is deemed to have begun during the month in which you were first billed by HeavyConnect for the HeavyConnect Service package (or, in the event that you add more Users to your HeavyConnect Service package after beginning your subscription, from the month in which you were first billed for those additional Users). You may terminate HeavyConnect Service packages with terms of 12 months or longer at any time; however, because such HeavyConnect Service packages may qualify for reduced rate pricing, upon termination HeavyConnect will bill you for an amount equal to the difference between the reduced rate you actually paid, and the amount you would have paid under a standard rate HeavyConnect Service package.
