If your organization is party to a separate, written agreement with us, the terms of that agreement may also apply to your use of the Services.

Enforcement of these Terms is solely at our discretion, and failure to enforce these Terms in any instance does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce these Terms in any other instance.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USE OF ANY INFORMATION OR ADVICE RECEIVED IN THE COURSE OF USING THE SERVICES. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM REACHIRE OR THROUGH THE SERVICES, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE IN THESE TERMS.
3. REACHIRE AND ITS PERSONNEL DO NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE OR DIAGNOSE OR IDENTIFY MEDICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO DISCLOSE ANY SUCH CONDITIONS TO, OR SEEK ANY SUCH ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR IDENTIFICATION FROM, REACHIRE OR ITS PERSONNEL OR OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES VIA THE SERVICES. THE CONTENT AND/OR INFORMATION PROVIDED VIA THE SERVICES DO NOT CONTAIN OR CONSTITUTE AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS THERAPY OR AS MEDICAL ADVICE, MEDICAL OPINIONS OR MEDICAL SERVICES, AND THERE IS NO DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP OR THERAPIST-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REACHIRE OR ITS PERSONNEL OR OTHER USERS AND YOU.

IN NO EVENT WILL REACHIRE OR ITS PERSONNEL OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGES OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED, OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF REACHIRE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

2. IN NO EVENT WILL REACHIRE OR ITS PERSONNEL’S OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS’ TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF U.S. $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO REACHIRE DURING THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD WITHIN WHICH THE CAUSE OF ACTION GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY AROSE.
At your sole expense, you will defend, indemnify and hold reacHIRE and officers, directors, employees, contractors, representatives, heirs and assigns harmless from and against any and all actual or threatened suits, actions, proceedings (at law or in equity), claims, damages, payments, deficiencies, fines, judgments, settlements, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees, costs, penalties, interest and disbursements) caused by, arising out of or resulting from (a) your use of the Services or the use of the Services by a third party accessing your account, including any infringement of rights of third parties, or (b) your breach of these Terms.
THIS PROVISION REQUIRES YOU AND REACHIRE TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH BOTH PARTIES CAN SEEK RELIEF. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. ARBITRATION PREVENTS EITHER PARTY FROM SUING THE OTHER PARTY IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL.
You and reacHIRE will arbitrate any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or related to these Terms or the Services, except that neither you nor reacHIRE shall be required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and/or other relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property rights. Arbitration will be conducted confidentially in Boston, Massachusetts, by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, the arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. The arbitrator will render a written opinion including findings of fact and law, and the award and determination of the arbitrator will bind the parties and will not be subject to appeal. Judgment may be entered upon the award of the arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties will equally share the expenses of the arbitration unless the arbitrator determines to apportion fees and expenses differently. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES, AND NEITHER YOU NOR REACHIRE WILL COMMENCE AGAINST THE OTHER A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
1. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution: These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The state and federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit in connection with the Services or these Terms that is not subject to arbitration, and you and reacHIRE hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. If a party initiates any proceeding regarding these Terms and such proceeding is not subject to arbitration, the prevailing party to such proceeding is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for claims arising out of these Terms.
2. Assignment: You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of reacHIRE. Any attempted or purported assignment, delegation or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. These Terms will be binding and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective heirs and assigns.
3. Electronic Communications: You agree to receive electronically all current and future notices, disclosures, communications and information and that the aforementioned electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. An electronic notice will be deemed to have been received on the day of receipt as evidenced by such email.
4. Force Majeure: reacHIRE will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from any event beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, natural disaster, fire, war, insurrection, riot, labor dispute, accident, action of government, communications, power failure, or equipment or software malfunction.
5. Headings: Headings of sections are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
6. Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other provisions of these Terms will nonetheless remain in full force and effect, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be construed so as to give the closest possible valid, legal and enforceable meaning to the original intent of the parties.
7. Survival: Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in these Terms, Sections 7-9 and 11-15 will survive any termination of these Terms.
