You represent and warrant that all of your User Content is accurate and not misleading and is not in violation of any third party rights. Other than your User Content which constitutes Confidential Information (as defined herein), your User Content is not confidential or privileged, and you waive rights of privacy or publicity in connection with your User Content.

    3. Company does not actively monitor or exercise any editorial control over the User Content or uses of the Services or any messages or other material or information created, obtained or accessible through the Services. Company has no practical ability to restrict all conduct, communications or content which might violate these Terms prior to its transmission on or through the Services, nor can Company ensure prompt removal of any such communications or content after transmission or posting. Accordingly, Company does not assume liability to Users or others for any failure to enforce the terms of these Terms. You must evaluate, and will bear all risks associated with, the use of or reliance on content or information obtained through the Services. However, Company reserves the right to reject or remove any User Content of which we become aware that fails to fulfill the purpose of the Services, is in breach of these Terms, is contrary to law, or is otherwise inappropriate in our discretion. Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any User Content, including, but not limited to, liability for any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions therein, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use thereof. We will have no obligation or liability to you to maintain, store, or license any User Content.
    4. All Users are expected to comply with Service rules and guidelines as posted on the Services themselves, and also as agreed to by Users in the courts of using the Services. Users who do not comply with the mock interview calendar guideline, who do not show up to scheduled sessions, who cancel late, or who otherwise breach usage guidelines are subject to fees owed and suspension or termination of their Accounts.
  7. Availability of Services. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available pursuant to these Terms except for (a) planned downtime; (b) emergency downtime; and (c) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Company reserves the right to modify the Services from time to time and makes no guarantees as to the continuous availability of the Services or of any specific feature(s) or functionality(ies) of the Services.

III. Payment

  1. Subscriptions. Certain parts of the Service are billed on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”). You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“Billing Cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal by sending an email to the Company’s customer support team at hello@stellarpeers.com.
  2. Other Fees. Company may add new services for additional fees and charges, or add or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion. Any change to our pricing or payment terms shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you or at the end of your current subscription.
  3. Payment. A valid and up to date payment method, including a credit card, is required to process fee payments. You agree that if you do not maintain a valid, non-expired card on file with us during any billing attempt, you may be subject to interest and penalties. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize us to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments. You also irrevocably and expressly authorize Company to withhold any monies and/or debit any monies from any account that you have identified to Company for any chargebacks, fees, costs, deductions, adjustments and any other amounts owed to us. Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, we will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice. Interest and finance charges will accrue on all late payments, and will be charged at the maximum rate allowable by law, or at 2% per month, whichever is less. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Company in collecting late or unpaid fees due hereunder. Nothing mentioned herein will limit any additional rights and remedies available to Company at law or in equity arising out of your failure to make payment.
  4. Free Services. Certain aspects of the Services may be offered for free (“Free Services”). Company reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Services at any time, (ii) cancel or change the Services that are offered as Free Services, or (iii) terminate your access to and/or right to use the Free Services at any time for any reason in Company’s sole discretion.
  5. Free Trial. Company may, in its sole discretion, offer a Subscription with a free trial for a limited period of time (“Free Trial”). On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless you cancelled your Subscription, your Free Trial will automatically convert to a paid Subscription and you will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription you have selected. At any time and without notice, Company reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.
  6. Fee Changes. Company, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. Company will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Services after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount. Company reserves the right to change its prices and to offer discounts and temporary promotions.
  7. Payment Processor. Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for Services are deemed part of this Agreement. Company uses a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to process fee payments through the Services. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to these Terms. We are not responsible for errors by the Payment Processor. By utilizing the Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, in accordance with the applicable payment terms.
  8. No refunds / Chargebacks. You acknowledge and agree that there shall be no refunds under this Agreement for any reason, any Subscription or Service, whatsoever, including termination of this Agreement regardless of the cause of such termination. The Subscription fees cover all costs that Company incurred for the creation and functioning of your Account for the agreed upon term hereof, and other expenses related thereto. Notwithstanding the above, certain refund requests for Subscriptions may be considered by Company on a case-by-case basis and granted at the sole discretion of Company. For the purpose of clarity, you understand and agree that all payments are final. You understand and agree to contact us directly at hello@stellarpeers.com if you believe an exception to this rule is warranted, and Company, in its sole discretion, will determine if that is the case. You agree not to initiate a chargeback for any fees paid or payable under this Agreement. Since we have a clear and explicit “No Refund” policy in these Terms that you have agreed to prior to completing the purchase of a Subscription or any of our Services, we do not tolerate or accept any type of chargeback threat or actual chargeback from your credit card company. In the event that a chargeback is placed on a purchase or Company receives a chargeback threat during or after your purchase, Company reserves the right to report the incident to all three credit reporting agencies or to any other entity for inclusion in any chargeback database or for listing as a delinquent account which could have a negative impact on your credit report score. The information reported will include your name, email address, order date, order amount, and billing address. Chargeback abusers wishing to be removed from the database shall make the payment for the amount of the chargeback.

IV. Proprietary Rights

  1. The Services and all materials therein or transferred thereby, including, without limitation, software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos, and music (the “Company Content”), and all intellectual property rights related thereto, are the exclusive property of Company and its licensors. Except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to create a license in or under any such intellectual property rights, and you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works from any Company Content. Use of the Company Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by these Terms is strictly prohibited. These Terms do not provide you with title or ownership of any Services or Company Content, but only a limited right to use the same solely upon the terms expressly set forth in these Terms. For the purpose of clarity, nothing provided under these Terms is to be considered a “work for hire” and Company does not convey, transfer or assign to you any right, title and interest it may have now or in the future acquire, including but not limited to all intellectual property rights.

V. Privacy

  1. We care about the privacy of our Users.

You also agree to and hereby waive your rights to a trial by jury and agree to accept service of process by mail.
  2. Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY.

In the unlikely event that Company has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Belknap County, New Hampshire, unless you and Company agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.
  3. Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any action is brought to enforce any provision of these Terms or to declare a breach of these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other amounts awarded, reasonable legal and other related costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred thereby.

XIV. Confidential Information
