 1.1. USE OF OUR CONTENT

Firmsconsulting is only a subscription service and does not sell any content on our digital properties. We do not transfer ownership to you for any services, products or content in any form or manner whatsoever.

You may not either directly or through the use of any device, software, internet site, web-based service, or other means copy, download (other than through caching media files in our Apps necessary for personal use or through an individual non-resale use license on our knowledge management system for PDF files), stream capture, reproduce, duplicate, archive, distribute, upload, publish, modify, translate, broadcast, perform, display, sell, transmit or re-transmit the content unless expressly permitted by Firmsconsulting in writing.

Users who download or attempt to download material, share passwords to their accounts or our breach terms and conditions in any other way will have their accounts suspended or terminated without any financial recourse. Once an account is suspended a user cannot rejoin the site and there is no “cooling off” period. A suspended user must cancel their account to prevent future billing.

To protect our content, Firmsconsulting is under no obligation to explain the process we use to track attempts to download material from our website, violate these terms of use, and/or illegally access the site and its contents or share passwords. Once a subscription is terminated all rights to view, or listen to our content are revoked. Firmsconsulting automatically collects the IP addresses, location and personal addresses of all subscribers. We prosecute copyright infringement to the fullest extent of the law. To do so we may share information, where required by law, with the necessary law enforcement agencies.

Firmsconsulting is under no obligation to accept any individual as a Registered User and may accept or reject any registration in its sole and complete discretion. In addition, Firmsconsulting may deactivate any account at any time, including, without limitation, if it determines that a Registered User has violated these Terms of Use.

3. COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

The Firmsconsulting community, like any community, functions best when its users follow a few simple rules. By accessing and/or using the Websites, you agree to comply with these community guidelines (the “Community Guidelines”) and that:

  • You will comply with all applicable laws in your use of the Websites and will not use the Websites for any unlawful purpose;
  • You will not upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available any content that:
    • infringes any copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or other proprietary rights of any person or entity; or
    • is defamatory, libelous, indecent, obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit, invasive of another’s privacy, promotes violence, or contains hate speech (i.e., speech that attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and/or sexual orientation/gender identity); or
    • discloses any sensitive information about another person, including that person’s email address, postal address, phone number, credit card information, or any similar information.
  • You will not “stalk,” threaten, or otherwise harass another person;
  • You will not spam or use the Websites to engage in any commercial activities;
  • If you post any Registered User Content, you will stay on topic;
  • You will not access or use the Websites to collect any market research for a competing business;
  • You will not impersonate any person or entity or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
  • You will not interfere with or attempt to interrupt the proper operation of the Websites through the use of any virus, device, information collection or transmission mechanism, software or routine, or access or attempt to gain access to any data, files, or passwords related to the Websites through hacking, password or data mining, or any other means;
  • You will not cover, obscure, block, or in any way interfere with any advertisements and/or safety features (e.g., report abuse button) on the Websites;
  • You will not use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access the Websites for any purpose without our express written permission; provided, however, we grant the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the public portions of the Websites for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent necessary for creating publicly-available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials;
  • You will not take any action that imposes or may impose (in our sole discretion) an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our technical infrastructure; and
  • You will let us know about inappropriate content of which you become aware. If you find something that violates our Community Guidelines, please let us know, and we’ll review it.
  • We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to deny you access to the Websites, or any portion of the Websites, without notice, and to remove any content that does not adhere to these Community Guidelines.

 

4. RESTRICTIONS

The Websites are only available for individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older, but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you should review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand it.

 

5. SIGN-IN NAME; PASSWORD; UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS

During the registration process for Registered Users, we will ask you to create an account, which includes a username name (“Username Name”), a password (“Password”), and additional information that will assist in authenticating your identity when you log-in in the future (“Unique Identifiers”).

Certain information you provide when creating an account will be made available to the public. This may include you your username, name, location and bio.

When creating your account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information. Each Username Name and corresponding Password can be used by only one Registered User, and sharing your access credentials with others (especially if they are using your credentials to access our proprietary Content (as defined below)) is a material breach of this Agreement.

You are solely responsible for the confidentiality and use of your Username Name, Password, and Unique Identifiers, as well as for any use, misuse, or communications entered through the Websites using one or more of them. You will promptly inform us of any need to deactivate a Password or Username Name, or change any Unique Identifier. We reserve the right to delete or change your Password, Username Name, or Unique Identifier at any time and for any reason and shall have no liability to you for any loss or damage caused by such action. Firmsconsulting will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by any unauthorized use of your account.

 

6. FEES AND PAYMENT

Non-Subscription billing. You may be required to make a payment for a non-subscription service such as our 1-on-1 coaching and/or books. You will be required to complete the payment manually of your own free will. We do not verbally accept credit card and/or banking details to process transactions on behalf of clients.  Through the act of completing any and all payment/s to us you acknowledge acceptance of these terms. If you do not accept these terms please do not complete the payment. When you complete a payment we do not have access to your banking details since they are managed by 3rd party payment processors. ALL SUCH PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR PARTIALLY USED OR UNUSED PERIODS.

Eligibility. You are eligible to use our subscription-based content up to the end of your paid monthly billing period. For 1-on-1 coaching you must begin and end the training program within 24 months of joining the program. At our sole discretion we may allow the training to progress past the 24 month cut-off time. In these situations the need to extend the cut-off time needs to be communicated to us well before the cut-off period.

Recurring Billing. By starting your Firmsconsulting membership and providing or designating a Payment Method, you authorize us to charge you a monthly membership fee at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Firmsconsulting service to your Payment Method. You acknowledge that the amount billed each month may vary from month to month for reasons that may include differing amounts due to promotional offers, including gift card redemption and promotional code redemption, and/or changing or adding a plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed monthly in one or more charges. If you opt-in to receive payment notifications, we will send notification on the day your credit card is charged to the email address you provide us.

Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes to your service will take effect following email notice to you.

Billing Cycle. The membership fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership fees are fully earned upon payment. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paying membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your Firmsconsulting membership or became a paying member on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Membership. Visit our website and click on the “Manage your Account” link on the footer to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of membership or service-related charges. As used in these Terms of Use, “billing” shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method. Unless otherwise stated differently, month or monthly refers to your billing cycle.

No Refunds. PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. FAILURE TO CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP FOR ANY REASON WILL NOT LEAD TO A REFUND. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members (“credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.

Payment Methods. You may edit your Payment Method information by visiting our website and clicking on the “Manage your Account” link, available at the bottom of the pages of the Firmsconsulting website. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, “Cancellation” below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.

Cancellation. You may cancel your Firmsconsulting membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Firmsconsulting service through the end of your monthly billing period. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR ANY PARTIAL-MONTH MEMBERSHIP PERIODS OR UNWATCHED MATERIAL. To cancel, go to the “Manage your Account” page on our website and follow the instructions for cancellation. Cancellations can only be made through our website at www.firmsconsulting.com and not through our digital applications. If you cancel your membership, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period. To see when your account will close, click the “Manage your Account” page. If you signed up for Firmsconsulting using your account with a third party as a Payment Method, and wish to cancel your Firmsconsulting membership at any time, including during your free trial, you may need to do so through such third party, including by visiting your account with the applicable third party and turning off auto-renew, or unsubscribing from, the Firmsconsulting service through that third party. You may also find billing information about your Firmsconsulting membership by visiting your account with the applicable third party. You must cancel your membership at least 24 hours before it is due for renewal in order to avoid billing of the membership fees for the next billing cycle to your Payment Method.

Firmsconsulting Insider. When billed monthly FC Insider status is gained after being a Premium member for 6 consecutive months (on the 7th billing). When billed monthly FC Insider status is lost when a Premium membership breaks, ends, cancels or lapses for any reason for more than 14 days for any reason.  After 14 days the subscription is treated as “broken,” access cannot be restored and all credits and/or access to FC Insider are lost. To regain FC Insider status, a member will need to activate their Premium subscription and remain an active Premium subscriber for another 6 consecutive full months after rejoining. During this time they will have access to StrategyTV.com/apps but will not have access to StrategyTraining.com/apps. During the 14-day lapsed-billing period access is blocked but members will immediately return to FC Insider status upon resuming their membership.  If payment fails for any reason and a member corrects the payment problem within 14 days, the renewal date will automatically switch to the new date on which the payment problem was corrected. Since FC Insider status requires no lapse in the billing we will automatically bill you a pro-rated amount for the lapsed billing equal to: your subscription daily fee x # days renewal date pushed forward. We reserve the unconditional right to make any changes, without notice, including, but not limited to, adding and removing programs, and changing access conditions. We also reserve the exclusive, unconditional and non-negotiable worldwide right to deny an eligible member access to FC Insider for any reason. However, such an action usually occurs when a member is no longer in good standing (e.g. in breach of our terms and conditions).

Account Management. Managing accounts, including the process of cancellation is the sole responsibility of the member. Firmsconsulting does not handle/manage any accounts on behalf of clients. We may review account details on behalf of a client but it is the responsibility of the member to make any and all necessary changes.

If you submit Registered User Content to us, each such submission constitutes a representation and warranty to Firmsconsulting that such Registered User Content is your original creation (or that you otherwise have the right to provide the Registered User Content), that you have the rights necessary to grant the license to the Registered User Content under the prior paragraph, and that it and its use by Firmsconsulting and its content partners as permitted by this Agreement does not and will not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property or moral rights of any person or contain any libelous, defamatory, or obscene material or content that violates our Community Guidelines.

 

9. COMMUNICATIONS WITH US

Although we encourage you to email us, we do not want you to, and you should not, email us any content that contains confidential information. With respect to all emails and communications you send to us, including, but not limited to, feedback, questions, comments, suggestions, and the like, we shall be free to use any materials or information including but not limited to ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in your communications for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, the development, production, and marketing of products and services that incorporate such information without compensation or attribution to you.

The websites may contain technical inaccuracies or typographical errors or omissions. Unless required by applicable laws, we are not responsible for any such typographical, technical, or other errors listed on the Websites. The Websites may contain information on certain products and services, not all of which are available in every location. A reference to a product or service on the Websites does not imply that such product or service is or will be available in your location. We reserve the right to make changes, corrections, and/or improvements to the websites at any time without notice.

 

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Firmsconsulting, its affiliates, agents, directors, employees, suppliers or licensors be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, that result from the use of, or inability to use, this service, including without limitation, your submission of User Content or Stock Media. Under no circumstances will Firmsconsulting be responsible for any damage, loss or injury resulting from hacking, tampering or other unauthorized access or use of the service or your account or the information contained therein.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Firmsconsulting assumes no liability or responsibility for any (i) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies of content; (ii) personal injury or property damage, of any nature whatsoever, resulting from your access to or use of our service; (iii) any unauthorized access to or use of our secure servers and/or any and all personal information stored therein; (iv) any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the service; (v) any bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through our service by any third party; (vi) any errors or omissions in any content or for any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the service; and/or (vii) user content or the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any third party. In no event shall Firmsconsulting, its affiliates, agents, directors, employees, suppliers, or licensors be liable to you for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses or costs in an amount exceeding the amount you paid to Firmsconsulting hereunder or $100.00, whichever is greater.

No action, regardless of form or nature, arising out of this agreement may be brought by or on behalf of you more than one (1) year after the cause of action first arose.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Firmsconsulting shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses arising as a result of modifications made to User Content, Stock Media, or other content, any additions or combinations of User Content or Stock Media with other content, or the context in which the User Content, Stock Media, or other content is used by you.

This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if Firmsconsulting has been advised of the possibility of such damage. The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This agreement gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under this agreement will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

Firmsconsulting makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in locations other than United States. Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Service are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the United States.

Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, will we or any of our licensors or suppliers be liable for any special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials or information on the Websites or Firmsconsulting other platforms, or any products or services provided pursuant to the Websites or Firmsconsulting other platforms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages (including but not limited to lost data), so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In no event shall the total liability to you by us or any of our licensors or suppliers for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you to us, if any, for accessing the Websites or other Firmsconsulting platforms or for using our services. Under no circumstances will we be held responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage that is caused or alleged to have been caused to you in connection with your use of any advice, goods or services you receive from a guest speaker on our Websites or at one of our events.
