Reach150 Terms of Service

Date of Last Revision: September 12, 2016

These Terms of Service govern our relationship with users and others who interact with Reach150. By using or accessing Reach150, you agree to these Terms of Service.

Privacy: Your privacy is very important to us. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Service, Reach150 is subject to our Privacy Policy, which policy is expressly made part of these Terms of Service. If you have not already read our Privacy Policy, you should do so now.

Age Requirement for Use of Reach150: Reach150 is available for individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older but under the age of majority (which is 18 years old in most states), then your parent or guardian may be liable for some or all of your activities on Reach150. Because of this, and because it is prudent for your parent or guardian to be aware of your activities, including the websites that you visit, you should make your parent or guardian aware that you are using Reach150 – as this Terms of Service and your use of Reach150 affect their legal rights and obligations.

1. Description of Reach150

  • Subscriber means individuals and Reach150 Clients that solicit Recommendations.
  • Client means the company who contracts with Reach150. From time to time, the Client is also the Subscriber.
  • Recommendation means the content a User provides to a Subscriber via the Recommendations entry form.

It also includes time and date of submission.
  • Profile means the publicly viewable web page that includes your photo, bio and contact information provided by you (or by us if asked to by you). It also includes but is not limited to your published recommendations, and links to other Subscribers who are part of the same Client if any.

3. Payment

For Services offered on a payment or subscription basis, the following terms apply:

  • Payments will be billed to you in U.S. dollars, and your account will be debited when you subscribe and provide your payment information.
  • You must pay with one of the following:
    1. A valid credit card acceptable to Reach150;
    2. A valid debit card acceptable to Reach150;
    3. Sufficient funds in a checking or savings account to cover an electronic debit of the payment due; or
    4. By another payment option Reach150 provides to you in writing.
  • If your payment and registration information is not accurate, current, and complete and you do not notify us promptly when such information changes, we may suspend or terminate your account and refuse any use of the Services.
  • If you do not notify us of updates to your payment method (e.g., credit card expiration date), to avoid interruption of your service, we may participate in programs supported by your card provider (e.g., updater services, recurring billing programs, etc.) to try to update your payment information, and you authorize us to continue billing your account with the updated information that we obtain.
  • Reach150 will automatically renew your monthly, quarterly, or annual Services at the then-current rates, unless the Services are cancelled or terminated under this Agreement.
  • Additional cancellation or renewal terms may be provided to you on the website for the Services.

4. Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription prior the beginning of the new subscription period. In the event that Reach150 is unable to charge a User's chosen payment method in accordance with this Agreement, we may terminate this Agreement and access to the Services immediately, without notice. If you stop using the Services, Reach150 has fulfilled your subscription term. Fees for Monthly subscriptions are not eligible for refunds, even if access to the Services is cancelled or terminated prior to the beginning of the new subscription period. Fees for Annual subscriptions are eligible for partial refunds. The amount of the refund will be prorated at the next full month following notification of cancellation, based on the day of the month of the subscription start date. After your access to the Services is terminated, you may no longer have access to any of the data or Content in the Services. We suggest you retain your own copies of any data or Content that you may need as Reach150 is not responsible for providing you with access to your Content or the Services after any cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

5. Specific Terms for Users

When you provide a Recommendation to the Subscriber or Client who invited you to contribute the Recommendation, you are providing content that they can use as they see fit in accordance with our "Terms for Subscribers" and our "Terms for Clients," each of which is below. In addition:

  1. For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, you specifically give us the following permission, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any intellectual property content that you post on or in connection with Reach150 (the "IP License"). Except for your content, you acknowledge that all the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trade marks, and trade secrets, in the Reach150 site and services are owned by Reach150 and its licensors. The provision of the Reach150 site and services does not transfer to you or any third party any rights, title or interest in or to such intellectual property rights. Reach150 and its suppliers reserve all rights not granted in these Terms of Service.
  2. You cannot delete your Recommendation. You can request that it be removed by contacting the Reach150 Subscriber or Client and asking them to remove it from public view. When it is removed, it is hidden from public view rather than deleted. You understand that hidden content may persist in backup copies for an indefinite period of time (but will not be available to others unless the Subscriber or Client publishes it again).
  3. We may, although we have no obligation to, license or otherwise share the content you provide us, including Recommendations and information in your Profile, with third parties for promotional purposes. When we do so, your content will appear on third party websites. We have no control over these third party websites and you understand that it is not possible for Reach150 to remove your content from these third party sites.
  4. When you publish a Recommendation, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Reach150, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name, title, and photo if provided by you).
  5. You are not required to provide Recommendations; however, if you do provide a Recommendation, it must be truthful.
  6. The Subscriber or Client can hide any Recommendation for any reason. Reach150 does not control what is published. Only the Subscriber and Client control what is published.
  7. As a provider of Recommendations, you are not required and cannot create an account with us. For this reason once you contribute a recommendation you cannot edit it nor can you delete it. You need to contact the recipient of the Recommendation (the Subscriber) to hide the Recommendation if you wish to re-submit it or have it removed from public viewing.
  8. We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Reach150, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
