(“Rhabit,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use these Services. These Terms apply to you whether you are a “Visitor” (which means that you are simply visiting a Rhabit website) or a “Registered User” (which means that you have registered with Rhabit to participate in online activities, paid subscription services and other paid services). The term “User” refers to both a Visitor and a Registered User.
These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Rhabit for products, services or otherwise. If you are accessing or using our Services on behalf of another person or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms on such person or entity's behalf, and that such person or entity will be responsible to Rhabit if you violate these Terms.
If you have any question regarding the use of our Services, please contact us.
Subject to these Terms, User will be granted a limited, non-exclusive, revocable and non-transferable license to access the Services. The Services are for your personal and non-commercial use only. Except for the foregoing limited license, no right, title or interest shall be transferred to you. By agreeing to grant such access, Rhabit does not obligate itself to maintain the Services, or to maintain it in its present form. Rhabit may upgrade, modify, change or enhance the Services and convert a User to a new version thereof at any time in its sole discretion and on reasonable prior notice to User (unless the change is of critical business importance or outside Rhabit’s control, in which case Rhabit will explain the reason for the changes as soon as is reasonably practicable).
User agrees to abide by any rules or regulations that Rhabit publishes with respect to conduct of Users and other users of the Services, which rules and regulations are hereby incorporated into these Terms by this reference. The Company reserves the right to deny a User access to the Services if, in the Company’s sole discretion, User has failed to abide by these Terms or appear likely to do so.
User accepts that the Company in its sole discretion may, but has no obligation to, monitor the Services or any portion thereof, and/or to oversee compliance with these Terms.
User promises, acknowledges, and agrees that:
The Services are owned by Rhabit, its licensors or other providers of such material, and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws. No right, title or interest in or to the Services or any portion thereof, is transferred to any User, and all rights not expressly granted herein, are reserved by Rhabit.
The Company name, the Company logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans, are trademarks of Rhabit or its affiliates or licensors. Users may not use such marks without the prior written permission of Rhabit. All other names, logos, product and service names, designs and slogans of the Services are the trademarks of their respective owners.
Rhabit will use commercially reasonable efforts to enable the Services to be accessible, except for scheduled maintenance and required repairs, and except for any interruption due to causes beyond the reasonable control of, or not reasonably foreseeable by Rhabit, including, but not limited to, any Force Majeure Event. The foregoing shall not apply to any non-conformance caused by use of the Services contrary to the Company's instructions, or modification or alteration of the Services by any party other than the Company.
We continually update the Rhabit Services. In addition, we continually test various aspects of our Services. We reserve the right to, and by using our Services you agree that we may, include you in or exclude you from these tests without notice. We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to make changes from time to time and without notice in how we offer and operate our Services.
User recognizes that the traffic of data through the Internet may cause delays when using the Services and accordingly, it shall not hold Rhabit liable for delays that are ordinary in the course of Internet use. User further acknowledges and accepts that Services will not be available on a continual twenty-four hour basis due to such delays, or delays caused by the Company's upgrading, modification, or standard maintenance of the Services.
SUBSCRIPTION TERM: User may subscribe to the Services for the applicable term of the specific subscription (“Initial Term”) commencing on the date that Rhabit confirms User’s subscription registration (“Effective Date”). Thereafter, the subscription will renew automatically on the corresponding anniversary date (“Renewal Date”) of the Effective Date (each a “Renewal Term”, and collectively with the Initial Term, the “Subscription Term”), until User notifies Rhabit of its intention not to renew prior to the end of the then-current term.
PAYMENT: Users may register for a paid subscription to our Services. By registering for a paid subscription to our Services, you warrant that (1) all information you provided during the registration process is true and accurate, (2) you will not permit third parties to access your account information, or to otherwise assign or transfer your rights to the Services, (3) you or a Parental Guardian are the cardholder of any credit or debit you provide to us and (4) you will provide us with a current, valid and accepted method of payment, currently credit card or debit card (as such may be updated from time to time, the “Payment Method”) throughout the term of your subscription. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your registration and login information. You are responsible for all charges incurred during your use of our Services, including any charges incurred on your account by other parties.
Recurring charges are billed in advance of service. User authorizes the Company to bill such debit/credit card on the Effective Date (and corresponding Renewal Dates, if appropriate) for the Subscription Fee due for the Subscription Term (and Renewal Term). User also authorizes the Company to bill such debit/credit card for any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Services. If, for any reason, User’s credit/debit card company refuses to pay the amount billed for the Services, User agrees that Company may, at its option, suspend or terminate User’s subscription to the Services and require User to pay the overdue amount by other means acceptable to the Company. Rhabit may charge a fee for reinstatement of suspended or terminated accounts. User agrees that until its subscription to the Services is properly terminated, it will continue to accrue charges for which it remains responsible, even if it does not use the Services. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, User agrees to reimburse Rhabit for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorney fees and other legal expenses. Unless otherwise expressly stated, all payments and fees are stated in United States dollars.
