Subscriber agreement
Latest amendment on 4/18/2025: "Mobile phone information will NOT be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. By registering you are agreeing to receive SMS/Text messages for internal use only such as member meeting reminders and renewal notices."
Subscribing to the Richmond Women Leaders Association means entering a contract with us. We have arranged that contract around twelve numbered questions a new subscriber typically asks. The answers are the terms, and they bind you and us alike.
Q1. What exactly am I agreeing to?
You are agreeing to this subscriber agreement (the "Agreement"), a legally binding document governing how you may use material you download or stream from this website. The Richmond Women Leaders Association publishes every seminar, conference, webinar, eBook, eDocument and other piece of material found here (collectively, the "Content"). Wherever the Agreement uses "we", "us" or "our", it is speaking of the Richmond Women Leaders Association, which may also be called "the Association".
You gave, or will give, your consent at one of these moments: before first opening any Content as a subscriber, or in a confirmation e-mail that follows; and again whenever your subscription is renewed. On top of that, opening the Content on any occasion counts as confirming the Agreement once more. Please check Q12 before each visit to see whether we have updated anything since you last came by.
Should you disagree with any part, or should you lack authority to bind your business or employer, stay away from the Content and do not use it. We suggest you save a copy of the Agreement for reference.
Q2. Can my organization share one subscription?
No. Each subscription is limited to a single user, and every user within an organization needs a separate one.
Where you acquired a subscription to use at a company or other organization for which you work or by which you are engaged, you also accept the Agreement on that organization's behalf. Both of you then answer for using the Content as the Agreement requires.
Q3. Who holds the rights in the Content and the name?
The Richmond Women Leaders Association, or its licensors, owns all intellectual property rights in the Content and in this website, specifically including copyright and database rights. You recognize "Richmond Women Leaders Association" as our trade mark; using it requires our written permission.
Q4. How may I use the Content, and what must I avoid?
Our permission is non-exclusive and confined to your own legitimate business or personal use. Within that limit, you may:
- bring up and view Content on any compatible device; and
- for any item we make downloadable, hold one copy on storage that is personal to you, a USB drive for instance, never on a shared drive, a shared server or a networked storage device.
You must avoid each of the following, and you must not allow a third party to do any of them:
- going beyond what is expressly allowed just above by copying, reproducing, broadcasting, transmitting, modifying, abstracting, deriving new works from, storing, archiving, aggregating, publicly displaying, redistributing, sharing, forwarding, licensing, sub-licensing, publishing or selling Content, or exploiting it commercially in any way at all;
- passing your username, password or other website access details (your "ID") to any individual or third party;
- letting multiple users rely on your ID, for example across a network or within an organization;
- erasing copyright or trade mark notices from the Content;
- framing, harvesting, scraping or any similar handling of the Content; and
- putting Content to unlawful use.
We are entitled to monitor your use of any Service. Using the Content in breach of these rules permits us to cancel your subscription or suspend your access to it.
THE RICHMOND WOMEN LEADERS ASSOCIATION'S RESERVATION OF RIGHTS IN THIS AGREEMENT LEAVES INTACT EVERY OTHER RIGHT IT HAS AT LAW, INCLUDING RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE COPYRIGHT LEGISLATION.
Q5. What is expected of me as an account holder?
Accurate and complete registration information about yourself is a precondition of subscribing. Keeping it updated and maintained is up to you; changes should be e-mailed to Service@WomanLeaders.org.
Anything done with the Content by you, or by someone else under your ID, falls on you. You must also guard against unauthorized use of your ID.
You must alert us immediately at Service@WomanLeaders.org if you want to change your ID or suspect a security breach, such as disclosure, theft or unauthorized use of your ID or of any payment information.
We will attempt to process your application quickly, though we do not guarantee that Content will reach you by any set time after you buy.
Q6. What will I pay, and how?
Pricing turns on the subscription you choose. At any time we may have more than one level or type on offer, each carrying its own mix of Content and services, and you will be told what yours includes when you acquire it. Payment terms and subscription lengths may vary too, and those are likewise made clear when you subscribe. We reserve the right to change the Content, the services or any level at any time.
You must provide complete and accurate payment information, and you agree to pay the rates applying on your subscription date. Handing over card details means you warrant that you are entitled to purchase with that card.
If payment or payment authorization arrives late or not at all, or an authorization is subsequently withdrawn or declined, we may at once terminate your subscription or suspend your access to the Content.
Charges are in US dollars. Applicable taxes may also be due from you.
Q7. When does it start and when does it renew?
It starts as soon as we accept your order; ordering signals your agreement to that. Once we have put you in possession of access to your subscription, a change of mind will not entitle you to a refund.
An annual subscription automatically renews for one more year unless, before the annual period finishes, you let us know you no longer wish to receive it. We bill the renewal to the card or other payment method you previously used.
Q8. How do I cancel, and will I get anything back?
Except for the point in Q7 about refunds after access, you have no right to cancel your subscription, in full or in part, before the current subscription period ends. You may tell us you intend to cancel whenever you like, but that notice will only take hold at the end of the period then running, and there will be no refund other than in the limited cases this Agreement provides for.
Cancellation requests go to our Customer Services team at Service@WomanLeaders.org.
Q9. When might the Association end my subscription?
If you breach these terms, we may suspend or terminate your subscription, with notice or without it, and without owing you anything further. We may also do so if circumstances outside our control prevent us from supplying services to you.
If we terminate your subscription for any reason, and/or permanently stop publishing the Content or stop providing subscription services, you will receive a pro rata refund to your credit card unless there are exceptional circumstances. That refund covers whatever you paid in advance for the remaining, unexpired portion of your subscription.
Q10. What responsibility does the Association accept?
This answer is important, so read it with care. It explains whether, and how far, the Richmond Women Leaders Association is responsible (liable) to you for your use of the Content.
You take the Content and this website "as is" and "as available". We are not liable to you for events outside our reasonable control, for the internet, for acts of God, or for third parties' acts. We are not responsible for your use of Content beyond the scope of the Agreement, and if you paid no subscription fee we bear no liability to you at all for the Content or this website.
We offer no assurance as to the availability, quality, security, completeness or accuracy of the Content or this website, or that either is free of viruses or anything comparable. Our only undertaking is to try to develop the Content and operate this website with reasonable skill and care, and to apply reasonable efforts to remedying faults that come to our notice.
The Content is meant for your general information and use. It is not aimed at your particular requirements, and it is not advice, recommendation, representation or endorsement of any kind. Users must not rely on it when deciding to make, or not to make, any specific business, investment or other decision.
INSOFAR AS APPLICABLE LAW PERMITS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, CONDITIONS AND DUTIES OF ANY NATURE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
WHATEVER FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY WE MAY HAVE TO YOU, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE CONTENT OR OTHERWISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IS RESTRICTED TO DIRECT DAMAGES AND LIMITED TO THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.
THE LIMITS OF LIABILITY IN THIS Q10 PROTECT THE RICHMOND WOMEN LEADERS ASSOCIATION, ITS AFFILIATES AND ALL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
There are exceptions: nothing in the Agreement excludes or restricts our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any liability that the law will not allow to be limited or excluded.
Q11. What law governs, and how are claims handled?
The Agreement is governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America, with no regard to conflict of law or choice of law principles. You and we irrevocably accept that the state and federal courts located in Atlanta, Georgia have jurisdiction to enforce an arbitration award and to grant urgent interim relief in connection with the Agreement.
Legal action arising from or relating to your subscription, use or purchase of Richmond Women Leaders Association products or services must be pursued through arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules or, where they apply, its Consumer Arbitration Rules. All arbitration filing and hearing costs are borne by the filer (plaintiff), and each party covers its own legal fees. Where applicable law or the applicable American Arbitration Association rules do not permit this, arbitration fees and costs are allocated as set by those rules.
A few further rules round out the Agreement. You may not assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer any of your rights under it. You agree that we may assign any of our rights, or delegate any of our duties or obligations, without your consent, to a third party in connection with a reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of assets or similar transaction. Should a court of competent jurisdiction find any provision invalid, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. Failure by either party to exercise a right or remedy is not a waiver of it. Headings, including these questions, serve convenience only and have no legal meaning or effect. Finally, the Agreement is the entire agreement between the Association and you regarding the Content, superseding all previous agreements, communications, representations and arrangements, written or oral.
Q12. Where do I send questions, and how will I know about changes?
Questions about the Service, complaints among them, should go to Service@WomanLeaders.org.
