TERMS OF USE

I. Introduction and Eligibility

Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully before using the Service.

WELCOME

At THE BOARD, we strive to build a community of consultants. This website, located at http://www.wearetheboard.com (the “Site”) and our visitors’ (“you,” and “your,” as used in these terms) use of our services offered through the Sites (collectively with the Site, the “Services”) are governed by these Terms of Use (“Terms”). The Terms constitute a binding agreement between you and THE BOARD and its affiliates (“THE BOARD,” “WE ARE THE BOARD,” “company,” “we,” “community,” or “us”) with respect to your use of this Site and Services. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use or access the Sites or Services. Additional terms may apply in the case of certain specific Services we offer. Any such additional policies, terms, and conditions are incorporated into these Terms and will serve an amendment hereto. 

We reserve the right to cancel and/or terminate any user’s account for any violation of these Terms. You must be at least 18 years of age to use our Services. If you are not 18 or older, you may not use the Services. These Terms provide for the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and limit the remedies available to you. You can opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate by contacting info@theboard.community within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement. You hereby give your consent for the collection, use, storage, and display of personal information entered into the application along with your other profile information. WE WILL ONLY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITHIN THE CONFINES OF OUR COMMUNITY AND WILL NEVER SHARE OR SELL YOUR INFORMATION TO ANY OUTSIDE COMPANY WHATSOEVER.

By filling out the application on the Site, you acknowledge and agree that the information input into the application may be included in a membership profile for our community to view. You agree not to include any links to social profiles you would not want to be visible to our community. You hereby give your consent for the collection, use, storage, and display of your personal information entered into the application along with your other profile information.

FEES AND PAYMENT

Fees. In consideration for the purchase of a membership subscription hereunder, Member shall pay THE BOARD the subscription fees for the subscription length selected by Member, due in advance of the membership’s start date. Membership fees are due for all accepted Members regardless of Members’ use of and participation in the Service. If you become a Member, you must pay all applicable fees for your subscription term, even if you discontinue use of the Service prior to the end of your subscription period.

Payment. Members will provide THE BOARD (or our designated third-party payment provider) with accurate and valid credit card or other payment information and update your credit card or other payment information in the event any information provided becomes invalid or incomplete. If any charge is rejected by our bank or payment providers, you are still liable to pay the applicable fees. We reserve the right to accept, refuse or cancel any requests to join THE BOARD, without liability or justification. We will refund you if your request was denied by us after your credit card or other payment method has been charged. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, all fees are nonrefundable. THE BOARD will charge your credit card for the fees then in effect when you subscribe. If THE BOARD does not receive payment from the issuer of the credit card associated with your Profile, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand directly to THE BOARD, and THE BOARD further reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your access to your Profile and all platforms and services in such circumstances. 

Taxes. All amounts due hereunder are exclusive of all sales, use, excise, service, value added, or other taxes, duties and charges of any kind (whether federal, state, local or other) associated with the Service. Member shall be solely responsible for all such taxes, duties and charges (except for taxes imposed on THE BOARD’s income), which may be invoiced or charged by THE BOARD from time to time.

Price Changes. THE BOARD  reserves the right to change the terms of your subscription, including price, from time to time, effective as of the beginning of your next subscription term following the date of the change. If THE BOARD changes the subscription fee or other charges for your subscription, we will give you advance notice of these changes at least thirty (30) days prior to the start of your next subscription term. If you purchase a subscription from us with promotional pricing, we will inform you of the non-promotional pricing, obtain your consent to such pricing, and notify you of how to cancel your subscription prior to billing you at the non-promotional pricing.

Payments for membership are processed and secured by a third party payment processor (currently Stripe). By inputting and submitting your payment information, you represent and warrant that you (i) have all rights to make payments to use through that account and (ii) you agree to the terms and conditions presented by Stripe at www.stripe.com/legal/. You agree that your membership fee payment is final and nonrefundable once membership begins. There will be no partial refunds or pauses granted, for any reason, within a membership cycle that you have already paid for. If you need to cancel or pause your membership, we will do so for your next renewal, either at the end of your membership year, depending on which payment option you’ve selected and paid for. Your membership will automatically renew each annual membership cycle with a charge of the then-current membership fee to your credit card on file unless you inform us otherwise prior to the end of your current subscription term by emailing info@theboard.community. To update your account information, which you agree to do to make sure it is materially accurate and complete, you should email info@theboard.community.

DISPUTES

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND IMPACTS HOW CLAIMS YOU AND THE BOARD MAY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE DETERMINED.   Agreement to Arbitrate You and THE BOARD agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to this or previous versions of the Terms, your use of Sites or Services, or to any products sold or distributed by THE BOARD or through our Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) bring an action in a court pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor Code § 2698 et seq.; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would. The arbitration hearing will be held in the country in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. You or THE BOARD may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and THE BOARD subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing. The arbitrator will decide all claims in accordance with applicable law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving other THE BOARD users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same company user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of these Terms. If you do not want to be subject to this Agreement to Arbitrate provision, you may opt out of by notifying THE BOARD in writing of your decision by sending, within 30 days of the date you receive these Terms, an electronic message to info@theboard.community, stating clearly your full name and intent to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. Should you choose not to opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate within the 30-day period, you and THE BOARD will be bound by the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate. You understand that you will not be subject to retaliation if you exercise your right to opt out of coverage under this Agreement to Arbitrate. Prohibition of Class, Representative, and Consolidated Actions You and THE BOARD agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. Unless both you and THE BOARD agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join more than one party’s claims, and may not adjudicate or determine any form of a representative, class, or consolidated proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party bringing the claim, if such relief is warranted by the facts and law. Any relief awarded by the arbitrator will not affect other company users. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration both you and THE BOARD each waive any right to a jury trial. You and THE BOARD also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms, your use of any Services, or any products sold or distributed by THE BOARD or through the Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Unless you and THE BOARD agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms, your use of any Services, or any products sold or distributed by THE BOARD or through THE BOARD Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in California. You agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY

No waiver of these Terms by THE BOARD shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such Terms or any other term or condition, and any failure of THE BOARD to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
