Terms & Conditions

Updated 7/3/19

Thank you for coming to www.yourhearing.com (the "Site"). Your Hearing Network operates the Site and provides services through the Site, but we'll just go by "we", or "us" to keep it simple. We refer to both the Site and the services available through the Site as the "Services".

Before using any of the Services, please read these Terms & Conditions and any other policies and notices on the Site (the "Terms") and our Privacy Policy.

Together, these materials contain terms, rules, and other guidelines related to your use of the Services. When you use the Services, you are agreeing to these terms, so please do not use the Services if you do not agree. Some parts of the Services may have other terms, guidelines, or rules, and if you use those parts, the additional terms will also apply. Because these terms are legally binding, we want to make sure you understand them. If you have any questions, please email us.

We Reserve the Right to Update and Revise These Terms & Conditions at Any Time
We reserve the right to update and revise these Terms at any time. We'll make sure to also change the "Effective Date" at the top of this page so you can tell if these Terms have changed since your last visit. Please review these Terms regularly because once we post any changes, your continued use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Eligibility
We only permit individuals who are at least 18 years old and can form legally binding contracts with us to use the Services. If you are under 18 years old and would like to use the Services, you can, but only if a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years old supervises you. In all cases, the adult would be the user and is responsible for any and all activity.

Also, you can only use or receive the Services to the extent the laws of your jurisdiction or the United States do not bar you from doing so. Please make sure these Terms are in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to you.

Your use of the Services means you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements we outline in these Terms. We may still refuse to let certain people access or use the Services for any reason and without notice. We may also change our eligibility criteria.

We offer the Services only for personal, noncommercial use, and not for the use or benefit of any third party (unless you are a parent or legal guardian using the Services for your minor child).

Privacy
Our Privacy Policy details how we collect and use your information. Please review it if you would like to know more about how we collect, use, and treat your information.

License You Grant to Your Hearing Network
We want to hear from you. Occasionally, you may see areas on the Services where you can post information or communicate with us or other users. We hope you will use these tools to meet the rest of our community and give us your feedback.

These areas may be in the form of social media posts, bulletin boards, chat rooms, comment areas, billboards, forums, news groups, postings sections or similar communications facilities.

Most importantly, we want you to know that you will keep all ownership or license rights in your User Content (as defined below), including the right to grant additional licenses to your User Content. There are no restrictions on your ownership and license rights in your User Content unless you otherwise agree in writing. However, when you provide your User Content to us, we need to be able to do certain things with it as described below.

When you submit, distribute, transmit, or post any communications or any other material to Your Hearing Network ("User Content"), you give us a right and license to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, and distribute your User Content in any and all media formats or distribution channels. You agree that this license includes the right for Your Hearing Network to use your User Content to provide, promote, and improve the Services. You agree that this license is irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, fully paid, and royalty-free. Please note that we may use User Content without compensation of any kind to you, including if we use User Content for advertising or promotional purposes.

You also agree that if your User Content contains any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques, we can use the User Content and anything it contains for any purpose including, but not limited to, developing, and marketing products.

In addition to giving Your Hearing Network a license, you also give each user of the Services an irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, fully paid, and royalty-free right and license to access your User Content through the Services and to use, edit, modify, publish, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, adapt, and promote such submissions, including after any termination of your Account. 

If you share something with us, you keep ownership of it and can continue to do anything you want with it, but you allow us and our other users to use your User Content as we see fit. If you don't agree to these conditions, then please don't provide the materials to us.

Representations About Content You Submit
When you submit User Content, you represent and warrant that:

  • you hold all necessary right, title, and license to such materials (in other words, you own it or have the right to give it to us);
  • that your submission of such materials to Your Hearing Network does not and will not violate or infringe the rights of any third-parties, including without limitation, any privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademarks, contract rights, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights (you didn't take it from someone else without permission); and

  • In addition, any User Content must not
  • include any profanity or obscene, indecent, or pornographic material;

Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Just as we ask you to respect our intellectual property rights, we respect your rights and the rights of others, and we expect all our users to do the same. If we believe a user may be infringing upon someone's intellectual property rights, we may remove the material. If we believe someone is repeatedly infringing, we will terminate that person's access rights.

If you believe someone has posted on the Services a work that you own without your authorization, let us know. Please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following to our Designated Agent (whose contact information is below):

  • a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
  • identification of works or materials being infringed;
  • identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that we are capable of finding and verifying its existence;
  • your contact information, including address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address;
  • a statement that you have a valid belief that the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

Please contact the Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement for Company by contacting us.
 
Private vs. Non-private Content
We take your privacy very seriously and are committed to keeping your private information, well, private. However, we also include certain features to open channels of communication, either among our users or between our users and us, and those features wouldn't work if all your communication is completely private. Therefore, we don't treat User Content you provide to those portions of the Services as private or confidential. When in doubt, it is best to take a look at our Privacy Policy, which details the types of information we treat as confidential or private. If you post something publicly on the Services, others may be able to read it. You should always use caution when providing any personal information about yourself or anyone else, including your children.

Third-Party Content and User Content
You may see a lot of different content on the Services. Some of this content will come from other users or sources outside of Your Hearing Network. All content, including User Content and third-party content, is the responsibility of the party that creates it. Your Hearing Network does not control or endorse any User Content or third-party content, and we make no claims or representations regarding any content we do not create. We may provide links to third-party sites or resources, but these links do not mean we endorse or have any associations with the third parties. Please note that any third-party moderators, forum managers, or hosts on the Services are not authorized as our spokespersons, and their views do not necessarily reflect those of Your Hearing Network.

If any damage or loss results from your use of, reliance on, or any other connection between you and any content that any third party makes available, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly. When you access third-party resources on the Internet, you do so at your own risk.

We may review third-party content on the Services, but we do not have an obligation to do so. We reserve the right to review, remove, block, or modify any content on the Services, including third-party and User Content, without notice or further obligation to you.

We take no responsibility related to third-party content, User Content, or any actions resulting from your use of any part of the Services. Your Hearing Network will have no liability in connection with any content submitted to, transmitted via, or displayed or posted on or through the Services, regardless of whether Your Hearing Network or another party provides it.

We reserve the right to terminate your license to use the Services or block or prevent your access to the Services, without providing you with notice or reason. In the event of termination, your obligations under these Terms will still continue.

Governing Law
The laws of the State of New Jersey will govern these Terms and the relationship between you and Your Hearing Network as if you signed these Terms in New Jersey, without regard to New Jersey's conflicts of laws rules. If any provisions of these Terms are inconsistent with any applicable law, those provisions will be superseded and/or modified only to the extent such provisions are inconsistent. The parties agree to submit to the federal or state courts in New Jersey for exclusive jurisdiction of any dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Services or your breach of these Terms.

Severability
If it turns out that any part of these Terms are invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that term will be deemed severable and limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary. The limitation or elimination of the term will not affect any other terms.
 
Entire Agreement
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Your Hearing Network and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written with respect to these Services. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

Miscellaneous
We take our commitment to customers seriously, and we'll do what we can for you. However, sometimes things may come up that are outside of our control. We will not be liable for any failure to perform any of our obligations stated in these Terms if the failure results from a cause beyond our reasonable control, including—without limitation—mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.

You cannot assign, transfer or sublicense these Terms without first obtaining our consent. We may assign, transfer, or delegate any of our rights and obligations without consent. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship, and neither party has any authority to bind the other in any respect.

If we do not enforce any part of these Terms, it does not mean we give up the right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms. In order for any waiver of compliance with these Terms to be binding, we must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of our authorized representatives.

The section and paragraph headings in these Terms are for convenience only and do not affect their interpretation.
