Terms of use

ConsumerConnect welcomes you to our website and the applications and services available from us through our website or other platforms (the “Site” and the “Services”). These Terms of Use govern your use of the Site and the Services. Any time you browse the Site or use the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to these Terms, do not use the Site or the Services.

Your use of the Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which is located on the Site. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time, with such changes becoming effective when we post the modified Terms to the Site. We reserve the right to make any changes to the Site and Services and deny or terminate your access to the Site and Services, even if you have an Account, in our sole discretion.

Each time you use the Site or the Services, the then-current version of the Terms will apply. If you use the Site or the Services after a modification of these Terms, you agree to be bound by the Terms as modified.

These Terms contain important information regarding your rights concerning the Site and the Services, including your relationship with us. They include an arbitration provision that may limit your ability to pursue claims against us in court. Please read them carefully and review them regularly.

  1. Eligibility

You may not use the Services if you are under 14 years old. You represent that any information you submit to us when using the Services is accurate, truthful, and current. You also represent that your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

  1. Registration & Account.

Certain aspects of the Services or portions of the Site may require you to register for an account (“Account”), becoming a “Registered User”. As part of the Account creation process, you may be asked to provide a username or email address and password unique to the Account (“Login Information”). You are responsible for the confidentiality and use of your Login Information and agree not to transfer or disclose your Login Information to any third party other than an individual with express authority to act on your behalf. If you suspect any unauthorized use of your Account, you agree to notify us immediately. You are solely responsible for any activities occurring under your Account. You have no ownership right to your Account. Suppose you are registering an Account on behalf of an organization under an agreement between another organization and us. In that case, that organization may have administrator rights to access your Account and any information provided under your Account.

  1. The Platform

The Platform only enables connections between users, and we are not responsible for the performance of Users, nor do we have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of any User or any opportunity provided or presented on the Platform, nor of the integrity, responsibility, qualifications or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users.

We do not employ, supervise, direct, or control a User’s work. We do not provide warranties or guarantees regarding any User’s accreditations or credentials.
