Terms of Service

Alumni Spaces presents its terms of service in two versions we like to call the “lawyerly” version and the “human” version so that you can actually understand what the terms mean without having gone to law school. Please note that in the event any legal action ever took place between Alumni Spaces and anyone in the world, these ‘human version’ explanations are for your benefit but not part of the actual agreement.

I

Introduction and Overview

This Universal Terms of Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Alumni Spaces, Inc., a Delaware business entity (“Alumni Spaces”) and you, and is made effective as of the date of your use of this website (“Site”) or the date of electronic acceptance.  This Agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions of your use of the Site and the products, services, and publishing services purchased or accessed through this Site (individually and collectively, the “Services”), and is in addition to (not in lieu of) any specific terms and conditions that apply to the particular Services.

Whether you are simply browsing or using this Site or purchase Services, your use of this Site and your electronic acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understand, acknowledge and agree to be bound by this Agreement, along with the following policies and agreements, which are incorporated herein by reference:

The terms “we”, “us” or “our” shall refer to Alumni Spaces.  The terms “you”, “your”, “User”, “customer” or “Subscriber” shall refer to any individual or entity who accepts this Agreement, has access to your account or uses the Services.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.

Alumni Spaces may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change or modify this Agreement, and any policies or agreements which are incorporated herein, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting to this Site. You acknowledge and agree that (i) Alumni Spaces may notify you of such changes or modifications by posting them to this Site or by e-mailing you at your contact e-mail address when you purchase Services, and (ii) your use of this Site or the Services found at this Site after such changes or modifications have been made (as indicated by the “Last Revised” date at the top of this page) shall constitute your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions as last revised.  If you do not agree to be bound by this agreement as last revised, do not use (or continue to use) this site or the services. It is therefore very important that you keep your account (“Account”) information current.  Alumni Spaces assumes no liability or responsibility for your failure to receive an email notification if such failure results from an inaccurate email address.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and User does not have any authority of any kind to bind Alumni Spaces in any respect.

If you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of a corporate entity, you represent and warrant that you have the legal authority to bind such corporate entity to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, in which case the terms “you”, “your”, “User”, “Subscriber” or “customer” shall refer to such corporate entity.  If, after your electronic acceptance of this Agreement, Alumni Spaces finds that you do not have the legal authority to bind such corporate entity, you will be personally responsible for the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the payment obligations. Alumni Spaces shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from Alumni Spaces reliance on any instruction, notice, document or communication reasonably believed by Alumni Spaces to be genuine and originating from an authorized representative of your corporate entity.
