These Terms of Service incorporates the Metaintro Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to amend these Terms of Service (including the Privacy Policy and any Terms of Service) at any time by notifying you as provided in these Terms of Service. Your continued use of the Services after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms of Service. If you do not agree to any of these Terms of Service, you are not permitted to use or access (or continue to access), the Services.

SECTION 12 OF THESE SPECIFIC TERMS OF SERVICE INCLUDES A MANDATORY AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO YOUR USE OF ANY OF THE SERVICES TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN PROCEED IN COURT UNLESS YOU VALIDLY ELECT TO OPT OUT OF SUCH PROVISION.

B. Contact with You by Email

By providing Metaintro your email address, you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related and other non-commercial notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail.

C. User Accounts

When creating your account or uploading information to the Services through your account, you represent and warrant that you will provide accurate and complete information. You agree to ensure that your registration information for your account is current. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs under your account. You are expected to use "strong" passwords with your account.

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You understand that even if you notify us, you will be totally responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You also agree to ensure that you logout from your account at the end of each session. You are responsible for any password misuse or any unauthorized access.

We reserve the right at any time and from time to time, to disable or terminate your account, any username, password, or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including any violation of any provision of these Terms of Service.

By connecting to the Services using a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service.

You agree that we are not liable for any personal data that is made available to us in violation of your privacy settings with the applicable social networking site.

Metaintro may suspend or terminate your account and/or your access to the Services, or any portion of the Services at any time without notice to you, for any reason, including if in our sole discretion we determine that you have violated the terms of these Terms of Service (including in accordance with Section 1E below). Upon any such termination, all the provisions of these Terms of Service shall continue to survive except for any provisions that grant you access to any of the Services. You agree that we will have no liability to you for any termination or suspension of your access to the Services or your account, or the deletion of information contained within such account.

If any such change, cessation, or limitation of the Services materially and adversely affects you, then you may terminate the Services on written notice to us. In the event of such termination, you will receive a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid fees pertaining to Services paid for, but not provided, for the balance of the applicable term of your then-current subscription plan. We may permanently or temporarily limit, condition, terminate, or suspend your access to the Services or any features thereof, including if in our sole determination (acting reasonably) you breach or violate any provision of these Terms of Service, commit fraud, or other abuse using the Services.

Metaintro shall have no obligation to you to enforce these Terms of Service against any other User.

2. USER CONTENT AND USERS

A. Posting or Viewing User Content

The Services may allow Users to post and/or provide content that may be viewable by other Users, including, but not limited to, ("User Content"). User Content is the sole responsibility of the person or entity that provided the User Content. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting, providing, or publishing it.

B. No Warranties or Obligations

You agree that Metaintro makes no representations, warranties, promises, or guarantees regarding any content provided or generated by third parties. Metaintro has no obligation to screen or verify the accuracy, legality, legitimacy, truthfulness, or completeness of User Content, and accordingly, you accept that Metaintro is not responsible and has no liability for User Content. You understand that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, incomplete, illegal, misleading, false, offensive, constitutes spam, or is otherwise unsuited to your purpose. Your reliance on any User Content is at your own risk.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, although Metaintro has no obligation to screen User Content, to the extent that Metaintro becomes or is made aware of User Content that may or does (i) violate the terms of these Terms of Service, or (ii) violate any law or regulation, or (iii) violate the rights of third parties, or (iv) create liability for Metaintro or otherwise negatively impact Metaintro, Metaintro reserves the right to reject and/or remove such User Content and suspend and/or terminate any User Account associated with such User Content.

C. User Interactions and Assumption of Risk

You understand and agree that Metaintro does not, and cannot, confirm that each User is who he/she/they claim to be. We are not responsible for authenticating Users, and therefore it is your responsibility to conduct the appropriate due diligence before communicating or interacting with other Users, including, without limitation, employers, staffing agencies, and recruiters. You assume all risks associated with Users with whom you come into contact. If you have any disputes or issues with any User, you agree to pursue any remedies directly with the applicable User, and you release Metaintro, its subsidiaries, and their respective employees, directors, and agents from all claims, demands, and damages of every kind (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

5. FREE TRIALS AND PAID SERVICES

A. Billing Policies

If you elect to use a paid feature of the Services, you agree to the pricing and payment terms for the applicable Services, as we may update them from time to time. Any recurring charges are billed in advance of service. Metaintro may (1) add new services and products for additional fees and charges, at any time in its sole discretion, or (2) amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion upon notice. Cancellation requests should be made in accordance with Section 5.E.

We may also provide certain products or services via our third-party partners, and you agree that your use of such third-party products or services is subject to the contractual (including payment) terms presented by such third parties should you wish to use their services. You further agree that Metaintro has no responsibility for such third-party services, and your use of such services is entirely at your own risk. Any change to the fees for paid services shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you.

B. No Refunds for Paid Services

You may cancel your subscription to paid services at any time, pursuant to Section 5.E below, and you accept that you will not receive a refund of pre-paid fees for such cancellation. In the event that Metaintro suspends, limits, conditions, or terminates your access to the Services and/or your account due to your material breach of these Terms of Service or any other agreement that you have with Metaintro, you understand and accept that you will not receive a refund for any unused time with respect to fees that you have pre-paid for a subscription plan, product, or service.

C. Payment Information; Taxes; Delinquent Payments

All information that you provide in connection with a monetary transaction must be accurate, complete, and current. You agree to pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will also pay any applicable taxes relating to such transactions. If at any time Metaintro is required by a taxing authority to pay any taxes not previously collected from you, you will promptly submit such taxes (including applicable penalties and interest, if any) to Metaintro upon written notice.

Delinquent payments may bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half percent per month (eighteen percent per annum) or the highest rate permitted by law, if less, from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by Metaintro in collecting delinquent amounts, except where the delinquent amounts are due to billing inaccuracies. In addition, if you are late in payment of any fees, we reserve the right to either (i) immediately suspend or terminate your access to the applicable Services without notice, and in the event of any such suspension or termination, you will remain responsible for the entire amount of fees owing for such Services; or (ii) bill your credit/debit card on file with us under this or any other agreement. Unless your subscription plan is terminated timely and correctly, you will continue to accrue charges even if you don't use the subscribed Services.

D. Credit and Debit Cards

In the event that you pay for any Services using a credit card or debit card, you authorize Metaintro to charge your credit or debit card (or other acceptable payment method that you have chosen from those offered) ("Payment Method"), for the applicable fees for the duration of the applicable term of your selected subscription plan or other paid service or product, together with any applicable sales, use, excise, goods and services tax (GST), consumption, or other similar tax applicable to the Services. You represent that you are authorized to use the Payment Method on your company's behalf, and you agree to accept an electronic record of a receipt. If at any time your Payment Method will not accept the charge for fees due, you agree that Metaintro may suspend or terminate your access to the applicable Services, and that you will continue to remain liable for the full payment for such Services even after your access to the Services has been terminated or suspended. By providing any Payment Method, you agree that applicable credit card, debit card, and billing information may be shared with third parties such as payment processors and credit agencies, and/or collection agencies for the purposes of checking your credit, effecting payment, collecting payments and late fees if applicable, and for providing the applicable Services to you or in order to enforce our agreement with you. We may also share this information with law enforcement authorities and in response to subpoenas, court orders, and search warrants.

E. Free Trials and Subscription Services (for Clients that have not executed a paper contract)

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND META INTRO, OR BETWEEN YOU AND ONE OF OUR THIRD-PARTY PARTNERS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO THE PAID SERVICES WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW UNLESS YOU CANCEL IT OR WE SUSPEND OR TERMINATE IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS.

We will continue to charge your debit/credit card at the beginning of the applicable renewal period following the Initial Plan Term unless you notify Metaintro that you do not wish to renew prior to the end of the Initial Plan Term.

(iii) Subscription Plans and Renewals. Subscription Plans will automatically renew for recurring periods depending on the duration of your selected Subscription Plan (e.g., every 1 day, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, annual, or other period), and, as authorized by you by agreeing to the automatic renewal of your Subscription Plan during the sign-up process, unless you notify Metaintro of any changes or requests not to renew (i.e., to cancel), prior to the end of the Initial Plan Term (each, a "Renewal Plan Term") or each Renewal Plan Term. Cancellation requests should be made in accordance with the instructions provided on the applicable Metaintro website or in accordance with Section 5(E)(iv) below. At the time of the automatic renewal, the applicable subscription or other fees will be charged to the Payment Method provided and/or associated with your account, or you will be invoiced for payment.

(iv) Subscription Plan Cancellation. For paid Subscription Plans, you may cancel at any time effective at the end of the Initial Plan Term or any Renewal Plan Term by sending us an email at contact@metaintro.com, and one of our representatives will contact you. Your account will be canceled effective on your next billing date.

F. Suspension or Termination

In the event of any suspension of your access to the Services and/or termination of these Terms of Service or any other agreement you have with Metaintro (other than a termination for convenience by Metaintro), you remain responsible for the entire amount of the fees (pre-paid and/or due), and you will not receive a refund of any pre-paid fees for the applicable Services. Metaintro may also suspend your access to the Services without penalty and without notice, in the event of a suspected violation of these Terms of Service.

(ii) Suspension or Termination for Convenience. Metaintro can terminate your access to the Services and/or these Terms of Service for convenience via email notification to you, and in the event of such termination for convenience, you will receive a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid fees pertaining to Services that will not be provided as a result of the termination.

12. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE

These Terms of Service contains an Arbitration provision, which will, with limited exception, require you to submit disputes you have against Metaintro to binding and final arbitration to the extent that the laws of the jurisdiction where you reside permit the inclusion of Arbitration provision in these Terms of Service. You will only be permitted to pursue claims against Metaintro on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.

If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this Section 12 is enforceable, the following mandatory arbitration provisions apply to you:

A. Binding Arbitration

This Section 12 is referred to in these Terms of Service as the "Terms of Service to Arbitrate". Unless you opt-out pursuant to the opt-out procedures set forth below, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Metaintro or its affiliates, whether relating to the Services, these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), or otherwise (each a "Dispute"), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of these Terms of Service to Arbitrate. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party (“Notice”), by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required) or, in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail. Metaintro's address for Notice is: Metaintro 1777 E39th St, #302, Denver, CO 80205. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Metaintro may commence an arbitration proceeding.

The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, each available at www.adr.org, or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and Metaintro. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by such rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Denver, Colorado, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms of Service, you and Metaintro may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

B. Restrictions

You and Metaintro agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Metaintro and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

C. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

You and Metaintro agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Metaintro intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.

D. 30 Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 12 by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to contact@metaintro.com. The notice must be sent to Metaintro within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these terms, whichever occurs first, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

13. GENERAL

A. Governing Law

Unless otherwise required by a mandatory law, these Terms of Service and any Disputes shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Colorado without respect to its conflict of laws principles. An arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Service, all arbitration and other litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction of any dispute between you and Metaintro related to these Terms of Service shall be located in Denver, Colorado.

B. Assignment

These Terms of Service shall be personal to you and you may not assign, transfer, lease or delegate all or any of your rights and obligations, without the prior written consent of an authorized representative of Metaintro. Metaintro can assign these Terms of Service or delegate its obligations without restriction other than as required under applicable law.

C. Entire Terms of Service

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to matters set forth in these Terms of Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understanding or agreement; and there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms of Service.
