Effective Date: September 7, 2026
Document Version: 1.2
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using the hipPitch platform.
By accessing, registering for, logging in to, or otherwise using the hipPitch platform, website, mobile application, or any related services (collectively, the "Platform"), you ("User" or "you") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions (the "Terms"), as well as hipPitch's Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Usage Policy, User Agreement, and any additional terms, guidelines, community standards, or policies incorporated herein by reference.
Before creating an Account, completing registration, or initially logging in to the Platform, Users must be presented with these Terms and must affirmatively indicate their acceptance, including by selecting an acceptance checkbox, tapping an "I Agree," "Accept," or substantially similar button, or using another affirmative acceptance mechanism provided by hipPitch.
By affirmatively accepting these Terms, you expressly agree to comply with hipPitch's rules regarding User Content, prohibited conduct, objectionable content, reporting, blocking, moderation, and enforcement.
If you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein, you are not permitted to register for, access, log in to, or use the Platform in any manner, and you must immediately discontinue any use thereof.
Sciome World Corp, a.k.a. hipPitch, ("hipPitch," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to update, amend, or otherwise modify these Terms at any time and for any reason.
Where hipPitch determines that an amendment is material, hipPitch may require Users to review and affirmatively accept the updated Terms before continuing to use some or all features of the Platform.
Your continued access to or use of the Platform following the effective date of any permitted changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms, except where applicable law or hipPitch requires renewed affirmative consent.
It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically to remain informed of any updates.
hipPitch is the video-first professional platform that brings your story to life — helping you stand out, get noticed, and leave a lasting impression wherever opportunity calls.
Create a professional headshot, record a 90-second hipPitch for free, create a 10-minute Long Pitch when you want to go deeper, and share your personal URL on job applications, college submissions, creator profiles, sales outreach, or anywhere you want people to meet the real you — not just the text on a page.
Whether you are a job seeker, student, creator, entrepreneur, or someone building meaningful connections (collectively, "hipsters"), hipPitch gives you a modern way to introduce yourself with clarity, confidence, and personality.
The Platform facilitates the creation, uploading, submission, hosting, sharing, discovery, moderation, and presentation of personal and business pitches and other User Content.
hipPitch provides the technological infrastructure and tools to enable these interactions but does not take an active role between hipsters and Viewers unless otherwise expressly stated.
Certain features, functionality, services, content, or increased usage limits may be available only through free trials, one-time purchases, or Paid Plans.
hipPitch does not guarantee any outcomes, employment opportunities, admissions decisions, investment opportunities, business opportunities, commercial success, audience exposure, engagement levels, or other results arising from use of the Platform.
The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the quality, viability, legality, accuracy, suitability, reliability, or success of any Pitch, hipster, Viewer, opportunity, communication, or User Content available through the Platform.
Use of the Platform is conditioned upon the User meeting the following eligibility requirements:
By registering for, accessing, or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you satisfy all eligibility requirements set forth in this Section.
If hipPitch discovers or reasonably suspects that a User does not satisfy the eligibility requirements above, hipPitch reserves the right to suspend, restrict, disable, or permanently terminate such User's access to the Platform without prior notice.
To access certain features of the Platform, Users are required to create an account ("Account").
During registration, Users must provide accurate, current, and complete information as prompted by the registration process, including but not limited to name, email address, and any other requested details.
Users agree to promptly update their Account information to maintain its accuracy and completeness at all times.
Users may not create an Account using false information, impersonate another individual or organization, or create an Account on behalf of another person without authorization.
Users are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their Account login credentials, including their password, and for all activities, transactions, submissions, or conduct that occur under their Account, whether or not authorized by the User.
Users agree to notify hipPitch immediately at support@sciomeworld.com upon becoming aware of any unauthorized access to or use of their Account or any other security breach.
hipPitch shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or harm resulting from a User's failure to adequately safeguard their credentials, except to the extent such liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
hipPitch reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend, restrict, disable, or permanently terminate any User's Account for any actual or suspected violation of these Terms, the Usage Policy, community standards, applicable law, or other policies applicable to the Platform.
Grounds for suspension or termination may include, without limitation:
Upon termination of an Account, the User's right to access and use the Platform shall immediately cease.
Users retain all ownership rights in and to the original content, materials, videos, images, recordings, text, information, and other materials they submit, upload, post, transmit, display, publish, or otherwise make available on or through the Platform ("User Content").
By submitting User Content to the Platform, however, the User hereby grants hipPitch a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, reproduce, process, display, distribute, modify, adapt, publicly perform, communicate, transmit, and otherwise use such User Content as reasonably necessary for the purpose of operating, providing, securing, moderating, promoting, supporting, and improving the Platform and its services.
This license remains in effect for so long as the User Content is available on or reasonably necessary for operation of the Platform and may survive deletion of User Content or termination of the User's Account to the limited extent required for backup systems, legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, moderation records, or other legitimate operational purposes.
Users represent and warrant that they own or otherwise possess all rights, licenses, authorizations, permissions, and consents necessary to upload and make their User Content available through the Platform.
hipPitch maintains a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive, threatening, harassing, bullying, or otherwise harmful behavior.
Users must not upload, create, distribute, transmit, display, publish, promote, encourage, or otherwise make available any User Content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, exploitative, or otherwise prohibited by these Terms.
For purposes of these Terms, "Objectionable Content" includes, without limitation, content that:
Users who violate these requirements may have their content removed and their Account restricted, suspended, or permanently banned.
Users agree that all User Content submitted to the Platform shall comply with applicable law, these Terms, hipPitch's Usage Policy, and any community standards or guidelines published by hipPitch.
User Content must not be false, misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, libelous, obscene, pornographic, threatening, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, racially or ethnically offensive, abusive, infringing, exploitative, deceptive, unlawful, or otherwise harmful.
Users represent and warrant that they possess all necessary rights, licenses, releases, authorizations, and permissions to submit User Content to the Platform.
Users are solely responsible for their User Content and for any consequences arising from creating, uploading, publishing, communicating, or sharing such content.
In addition to the content standards above, Users agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities in connection with the Platform:
hipPitch may use automated systems, technical controls, keyword or content detection, machine-assisted moderation, human review, user reports, administrative review, or other moderation mechanisms designed to identify, restrict, filter, or remove Objectionable Content.
Filtering or moderation may occur before User Content is publicly posted, after User Content is posted, or both.
hipPitch may limit the visibility, distribution, discoverability, recommendation, sharing, or accessibility of User Content while it is being reviewed.
No filtering or moderation system can identify every violation, and hipPitch does not guarantee that all Objectionable Content will be detected before another User encounters it.
Users are therefore encouraged to immediately report User Content or behavior they reasonably believe violates these Terms.
Users may not intentionally circumvent, disable, manipulate, interfere with, or evade any filtering or moderation system used by hipPitch.
The Platform provides or may provide mechanisms that allow Users to Report or Flag User Content, Accounts, communications, or conduct believed to violate these Terms or otherwise be inappropriate.
Users may report potentially objectionable or abusive content using the reporting functionality provided within the Platform.
Users may also contact hipPitch at support@sciomeworld.com regarding inappropriate content, abusive behavior, safety concerns, or potential violations.
A report may include information reasonably necessary for hipPitch to investigate the matter, including the identity of the reported Account, the reported content, the nature of the alleged violation, and relevant technical or Account information.
hipPitch will use commercially reasonable efforts to review reported objectionable content and abusive behavior promptly and, where action is warranted, to take appropriate moderation action within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving the report.
Appropriate action may include:
Submission of a report does not guarantee any particular outcome.
The Platform provides or may provide functionality allowing a User to block another User ("Block User").
When a User blocks another User, hipPitch will take reasonable technical measures designed to prevent or significantly restrict direct interaction between the blocking User and the blocked User.
Where applicable to the relevant Platform feature, content published by the blocked User will immediately cease to appear in the blocking User's feed or other applicable content areas once the block has been successfully processed.
Blocking may also restrict messaging, profile interaction, discovery, notifications, comments, or other Platform interactions where technically applicable.
A blocking event, particularly when associated with a report or suspected policy violation, may be recorded and made available to hipPitch's administrative or moderation team for safety review.
Blocking another User does not necessarily remove that User's content from the Platform for all other Users unless hipPitch separately determines that the content violates these Terms.
Users must not circumvent a block by creating another Account, using another person's Account, or using other Platform functionality to continue unwanted interaction.
hipPitch maintains administrative and moderation processes for reviewing reports, suspected violations, abusive conduct, and Objectionable Content.
hipPitch may investigate reports using User-submitted information, Platform records, relevant User Content, Account information, technical information, moderation tools, and other reasonably available evidence.
Where hipPitch determines that reported content violates these Terms or applicable policies, hipPitch may remove or disable access to the reported content.
hipPitch will use commercially reasonable efforts to review reported objectionable content and, where removal is warranted, remove or disable access to such content within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving the report.
Where hipPitch determines that a User has engaged in serious or repeated violations, harassment, bullying, abuse, threats, exploitation, or other prohibited conduct, hipPitch may suspend or permanently remove the offending User from the Platform.
hipPitch may take immediate action without prior notice where it reasonably determines that doing so is necessary to protect Users, prevent harm, comply with law, preserve the integrity of the Platform, or address serious misconduct.
hipPitch reserves the right to review, monitor, restrict, remove, modify, disable access to, or refuse to display any User Content at any time where hipPitch reasonably determines that the content:
hipPitch shall not be liable to any User for good-faith moderation or enforcement actions taken in accordance with these Terms, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
All content, software, source code, object code, technology, algorithms, interfaces, designs, graphics, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, databases, features, functionality, and other proprietary materials made available on or through the Platform (collectively, "hipPitch IP"), excluding User Content, are owned by or licensed to hipPitch and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret law.
Users are granted no ownership rights or interests in any hipPitch IP.
Users may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, transmit, display, publish, license, sell, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, commercially exploit, or otherwise use any hipPitch IP except as expressly permitted by hipPitch or applicable law.
If a User submits any ideas, suggestions, recommendations, enhancement requests, comments, or other feedback relating to the Platform or hipPitch's services ("Feedback"), hipPitch shall be entitled to use such Feedback for any lawful purpose, commercial or otherwise, without any obligation of confidentiality, attribution, compensation, or other duty to the User.
By submitting Feedback, the User hereby grants hipPitch all rights reasonably necessary to use, reproduce, modify, implement, commercialize, and otherwise exploit such Feedback without restriction.
hipPitch respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").
If you believe that any User Content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a written takedown notice to hipPitch's designated copyright contact at Legal@sciomeworld.com.
Your notice must include:
(a) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
(b) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location on the Platform;
(c) your contact information;
(d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law;
(e) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf; and
(f) your electronic or physical signature.
hipPitch will process valid takedown notices in accordance with applicable law.
hipPitch may offer optional premium subscription plans, premium functionality, digital features, additional usage limits, services, or other paid offerings (collectively, "Paid Plans").
Paid Plans may include features such as enhanced pitch capabilities, longer Pitch durations, advanced analytics, premium presentation tools, priority functionality, additional storage or usage, investor or professional matching tools, or other features identified at the time of purchase.
The particular features included in a Paid Plan will be displayed to the User before purchase.
Where required by Apple's applicable App Store rules, digital content, subscriptions, premium features, functionality, services, or other digital benefits accessed or consumed within the iOS or iPadOS version of the Platform will be offered through Apple's In-App Purchase system ("Apple IAP").
When a User purchases a Paid Plan through Apple IAP, the transaction is processed through the User's Apple Account and is subject to Apple's applicable billing, purchase, subscription, and App Store terms.
hipPitch does not independently control Apple's payment-processing procedures, billing authorization, transaction processing, refund determinations, or Apple Account management.
The price, billing period, subscription duration, available trial or promotional offer, and material benefits associated with an Apple IAP will be presented to the User before the User confirms the purchase.
Users must affirmatively confirm an Apple IAP using Apple's purchase interface before any Apple IAP transaction is completed.
For purchases made directly through hipPitch outside Apple's In-App Purchase system where permitted, the User authorizes hipPitch or its applicable payment processor to charge the User's selected payment method for the amount disclosed at checkout.
For purchases made through Apple IAP, the User authorizes Apple to charge the payment method associated with the User's Apple Account in accordance with Apple's applicable terms.
If a Paid Plan is offered as an auto-renewable subscription, the subscription will automatically renew at the end of each applicable subscription period unless cancelled before renewal in accordance with the purchase provider's applicable cancellation procedures.
The User is responsible for maintaining valid and current payment information with the applicable payment provider.
Prices for Paid Plans will be displayed before purchase.
Pricing may differ based on:
For Apple IAP transactions, the price shown through Apple's purchase interface at the time of purchase will govern the transaction.
hipPitch may change the pricing or structure of Paid Plans from time to time.
For subscriptions purchased through Apple, any price change, required notice, consent, renewal treatment, or billing adjustment will be handled in accordance with applicable law and Apple's applicable subscription requirements.
For subscriptions purchased directly from hipPitch, hipPitch will provide notice of material price changes where required by law.
Continued subscription following a properly disclosed and accepted price change constitutes acceptance of the revised subscription price.
From time to time, hipPitch may offer free trials, introductory pricing, promotional pricing, discounted subscription periods, or similar offers ("Promotional Offers").
The duration, eligibility requirements, applicable price, and scope of any Promotional Offer will be disclosed before enrollment.
Where a Free Trial is associated with an auto-renewable subscription, the subscription may automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless the User cancels before the applicable trial period ends.
For subscriptions purchased through Apple IAP, trial eligibility, billing commencement, conversion, renewal, and cancellation will be governed by Apple's applicable purchase and subscription procedures.
A User may not be eligible for repeated introductory or free-trial offers.
hipPitch reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue Promotional Offers, subject to applicable law and any commitments already made to participating Users.
Users may cancel a Paid Plan at any time through the appropriate subscription-management mechanism.
For subscriptions purchased directly from hipPitch, cancellation may be available through the User's Account settings or another method communicated by hipPitch.
For subscriptions purchased through Apple's In-App Purchase system, Users must manage and cancel the subscription through the subscription-management functionality associated with their Apple Account.
Deleting the hipPitch application, deleting an Account, or ceasing to use the Platform does not necessarily cancel an active Apple subscription.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the applicable purchase provider, cancellation generally takes effect at the end of the then-current paid subscription period.
The User will ordinarily retain access to the applicable Paid Plan benefits until expiration of the period already paid for.
Refund eligibility depends on the method used to make the purchase.
For purchases made through Apple's In-App Purchase system, refund requests and refund determinations are generally handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's applicable policies and procedures.
hipPitch ordinarily cannot directly issue or control refunds for transactions processed by Apple.
For purchases processed directly by hipPitch or its non-Apple payment processor, fees are generally non-refundable once the applicable service or subscription period has begun, except where:
Users with billing concerns relating to a direct hipPitch purchase may contact support@sciomeworld.com.
Nothing in this Section limits any non-waivable consumer rights.
Where applicable, the iOS or iPadOS application may provide functionality allowing Users to restore eligible prior Apple In-App Purchases associated with the User's Apple Account.
Eligible non-consumable purchases and active subscription entitlements may be restored or revalidated where supported by Apple and hipPitch.
Certain consumable purchases, expired benefits, or previously consumed entitlements may not be restorable.
Users must use the same Apple Account associated with the original eligible purchase when restoration requires Apple Account verification.
Access to Paid Plan functionality may depend upon verification that the User has an active and valid subscription entitlement.
hipPitch may use transaction, receipt, subscription-status, App Store server, or equivalent entitlement information to determine whether a User is entitled to access premium functionality.
If a subscription expires, is cancelled, refunded, revoked, reversed, or otherwise becomes invalid, hipPitch may remove or restrict access to the associated Paid Plan features.
Termination of premium access does not necessarily terminate the User's underlying free Account unless separate grounds for Account termination exist.
Where offered, Users may be permitted to upgrade or downgrade between available subscription tiers.
For Apple IAP subscriptions, the timing and financial effect of upgrades, downgrades, subscription-group changes, prorations, and renewals are determined in accordance with Apple's applicable subscription systems and policies.
hipPitch will make reasonable efforts to prevent Users from inadvertently purchasing overlapping subscriptions that provide substantially identical access.
Users are responsible for taxes, levies, duties, or other governmental charges applicable to purchases except where the applicable payment provider or hipPitch is legally required to collect or remit such amounts.
For Apple In-App Purchases, applicable tax handling may be performed by Apple based on the User's storefront, location, or applicable law.
Displayed purchase amounts may include or exclude applicable taxes depending on the applicable jurisdiction and purchase provider.
If a payment fails, is declined, reversed, charged back, revoked, refunded, or otherwise becomes invalid, hipPitch may suspend, restrict, downgrade, or terminate access to the associated Paid Plan.
For Apple subscriptions, Apple may attempt to recover failed payments or apply billing-retry or grace-period functionality according to Apple's applicable systems.
hipPitch may restore access after receiving confirmation that a valid subscription entitlement has been re-established.
hipPitch may make services available on multiple platforms.
Any external purchase option, link, communication, or payment method relating to digital content or services will be offered only where permitted by applicable law and the rules governing the applicable application storefront.
Nothing in these Terms guarantees that every purchase method will be available in every country, region, storefront, device, or version of the Platform.
By opting in to SMS communications as described in this Section, Users consent to receive recurring automated text messages ("SMS/MMS Messages") from hipPitch at the mobile telephone number provided.
SMS/MMS Messages may include, without limitation: Account alerts and notifications, Pitch activity updates, investor match notifications, promotional offers, platform announcements, security notifications, and other service-related communications.
Users may opt in to receive SMS/MMS Messages from hipPitch through any of the following methods:
(a) checking the SMS opt-in checkbox during Account registration on the Platform;
(b) texting START to the designated hipPitch short code, where available; or
(c) updating notification preferences within Account settings on the Platform.
By opting in, Users represent that they are the authorized user of the mobile number provided and that they consent to receive SMS/MMS Messages from hipPitch at that number.
Consent to receive marketing SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing a Paid Plan unless expressly permitted by law.
Message frequency will vary based on Account activity, Account type, Platform engagement, and User preferences.
Users can generally expect to receive approximately two to six (2–6) SMS/MMS Messages per month for standard Account notifications.
During active Pitch submission periods, security events, matching activities, or other significant Account activity, message frequency may be higher.
hipPitch will make reasonable efforts to limit messaging to relevant communications.
Standard message and data rates may apply to all SMS/MMS Messages sent and received in connection with the hipPitch SMS program.
Users are solely responsible for charges imposed by their mobile carrier in connection with SMS/MMS communications from hipPitch.
hipPitch is not responsible for mobile carrier charges incurred by the User.
Users may opt out of receiving SMS/MMS Messages from hipPitch at any time by:
(a) replying STOP to an SMS/MMS Message received from hipPitch;
(b) texting STOP to the designated hipPitch short code, where available; or
(c) updating notification preferences within Account settings on the Platform.
Following a valid opt-out request, the User may receive one final confirmation message acknowledging the opt-out, after which no further SMS/MMS Messages covered by that opt-out will be sent to that number unless the User subsequently opts in again.
Opting out of marketing SMS/MMS communications does not necessarily affect essential transactional, security, legally required, or Account-related communications delivered through other channels.
For assistance with the hipPitch SMS program, Users may reply HELP to an applicable SMS/MMS Message, text HELP to the designated short code where available, or contact hipPitch's support team at support@sciomeworld.com.
hipPitch shall not be liable for delays in receipt of, or failure to deliver, SMS/MMS Messages where such delay or failure results from the User's mobile carrier, network availability, telecommunications infrastructure, device configuration, or circumstances outside hipPitch's reasonable control.
Mobile carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages.
Delivery of SMS/MMS Messages is not guaranteed.
The hipPitch SMS program may be compatible with major wireless carriers operating in the United States and other supported regions.
Carrier availability and compatibility may vary.
hipPitch does not guarantee SMS/MMS availability on all carriers, devices, or geographic areas.
SMS opt-in information collected by hipPitch, including mobile telephone numbers and consent records, will be handled in accordance with hipPitch's Privacy Policy.
SMS opt-in data will not be sold or disclosed to unaffiliated third parties for their independent marketing or promotional purposes except as otherwise expressly disclosed and permitted by applicable law.
The Privacy Policy is available at hippitch.net/app/content/privacy-policy.
hipPitch's collection, use, storage, processing, sharing, retention, deletion, and protection of personal information provided by or collected from Users in connection with the Platform is governed by hipPitch's Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference.
The Privacy Policy is available at hippitch.net/app/content/privacy-policy.
The Cookie Policy is available at hippitch.net/app/content/cookie-policy.
Personal information may also be processed in connection with User-generated content moderation, reports, blocking functionality, Account safety, fraud prevention, purchase verification, subscription entitlement verification, and Platform security as described in the Privacy Policy.
By accessing or using the Platform, Users acknowledge that they have been provided access to the applicable privacy disclosures.
Where applicable law requires consent for particular processing activities, hipPitch will request such consent separately.
The Platform may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites, applications, platforms, payment providers, app stores, services, or tools, or may integrate third-party functionality to enhance the Platform ("Third-Party Services").
Third-Party Services may include Apple App Store services, authentication providers, cloud infrastructure, analytics services, communications providers, payment services, and other service providers.
hipPitch does not own or control independent Third-Party Services and is not responsible for their independent content, accuracy, policies, practices, terms, availability, security, or operation.
Any use of Third-Party Services is subject to the terms and privacy policies applicable to those services.
Users are encouraged to review such terms and policies before using Third-Party Services.
hipPitch shall not be liable for loss, damage, or harm arising solely from an independent Third-Party Service except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
THE PLATFORM AND ALL CONTENT, FEATURES, AND SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PLATFORM ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HIPPITCH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
HIPPITCH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL ALWAYS BE CORRECTED.
HIPPITCH ALSO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT CONTENT-MODERATION OR FILTERING TECHNOLOGY WILL IDENTIFY EVERY INSTANCE OF PROHIBITED OR OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT.
hipPitch makes no representation or warranty that use of the Platform will result in investment, funding, employment, hiring, admission, partnership, advisory relationships, commercial relationships, increased exposure, creator opportunities, professional opportunities, or other outcomes.
Any connection made between hipsters, Viewers, recruiters, investors, businesses, educational institutions, creators, or other Users through the Platform is undertaken at the discretion and risk of the applicable parties.
hipPitch is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, employment agency, educational admissions authority, or financial institution unless expressly stated otherwise.
hipPitch does not provide investment, financial, employment, admissions, or legal advice.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HIPPITCH AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUES, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO:
(A) THE USER'S ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM OR ANY CONTENT THEREON;
(B) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF THE USER'S ACCOUNT, TRANSMISSIONS, OR DATA;
(C) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANOTHER USER OR THIRD PARTY ON THE PLATFORM;
(D) USER CONTENT OR COMMUNICATIONS;
(E) PAYMENT, SUBSCRIPTION, OR THIRD-PARTY PLATFORM ISSUES OUTSIDE HIPPITCH'S REASONABLE CONTROL; OR
(F) ANY OTHER MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM, EVEN IF HIPPITCH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Notwithstanding any provision of these Terms to the contrary, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall hipPitch's total aggregate liability to a User for any and all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Platform exceed the greater of:
(a) five United States cents (USD $0.05); or
(b) the total fees actually paid by the User directly to hipPitch during the three (3) calendar months immediately preceding the date the claim arose.
The existence of more than one claim shall not enlarge this limit.
This limitation does not apply where applicable law prohibits such limitation.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Users agree to indemnify, defend (at hipPitch's option), and hold harmless hipPitch and its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "hipPitch Parties") from and against claims, actions, proceedings, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, arising out of or related to:
hipPitch reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by the User, at the User's expense where legally permitted, and the User agrees to reasonably cooperate with hipPitch's defense.
The User shall not settle any indemnified claim in a manner imposing liability or obligations on hipPitch without hipPitch's prior written consent.
These Terms and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal or equitable theory, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise.
Before initiating formal legal or arbitral proceedings, a User agrees to contact hipPitch in writing at Legal@sciomeworld.com and describe the nature of the dispute in reasonable detail.
The parties agree to negotiate in good faith for a period of no fewer than thirty (30) calendar days from the date hipPitch receives the User's written notice in an effort to resolve the dispute informally.
This informal resolution requirement is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration except where prohibited by applicable law or where emergency relief is permitted under Section 13.5.
If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through good-faith informal negotiation within the thirty (30)-day period described above, either party may submit the dispute to binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the AAA's then-current Consumer Arbitration Rules or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as applicable.
The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator.
The arbitration may take place in Hackettstown, New Jersey, via video conference, remotely, or as otherwise required by applicable arbitration rules or law.
The decision and award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, subject to any rights of review available under applicable law, and judgment on the award may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, USERS WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING AGAINST HIPPITCH.
THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING EXCEPT WHERE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency or preliminary injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for claims involving:
(a) actual or threatened misappropriation of trade secrets;
(b) actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights;
(c) actual or threatened breach of confidentiality obligations;
(d) fraud or unauthorized access; or
(e) immediate threats to personal safety or Platform security.
Seeking such relief shall not waive either party's right to proceed with arbitration for other arbitrable claims.
hipPitch reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, amend, supplement, or replace any provision of these Terms.
Changes will become effective on the effective date specified in the updated Terms.
The current version will be made available at hippitch.net/app/content/terms-and-conditions.
hipPitch may provide notice of material changes through email, Account notifications, in-app notices, or another appropriate communication method.
Where hipPitch determines that applicable law, Platform requirements, or the nature of a material change requires affirmative consent, Users may be required to review and expressly accept the revised Terms before continuing to register, log in, or use some or all Platform features.
Users are encouraged to periodically review these Terms.
If a User does not agree to revised Terms that require acceptance, the User must discontinue use of the applicable Platform services.
hipPitch reserves the right to suspend, restrict, disable, or permanently terminate a User's access to and use of the Platform where permitted by applicable law.
Grounds for termination may include, without limitation:
hipPitch may permanently ban Users who engage in serious or repeated prohibited conduct.
Upon termination or suspension of a User's Account, the User's right to access some or all Platform functionality may immediately cease.
Termination of the hipPitch Account does not automatically cancel an active subscription administered by a third-party application store unless the applicable subscription system expressly provides otherwise.
Users remain responsible for cancelling active subscriptions using the applicable purchase provider's subscription-management system.
hipPitch shall not be liable to a User or third party for a good-faith termination or suspension made in accordance with these Terms except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
Any provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation provisions relating to User Content licenses, intellectual property, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, enforcement, and miscellaneous legal terms.
These Terms, together with hipPitch's Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Usage Policy, User Agreement, and any additional terms, policies, community standards, or guidelines expressly incorporated herein by reference, constitute the agreement between the User and hipPitch regarding the subject matter governed by those documents.
They supersede prior inconsistent understandings, representations, or agreements relating to such subject matter to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal, and enforceable while preserving its original intent to the greatest extent reasonably possible.
All remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
No failure or delay by hipPitch in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof.
No single or partial exercise of a right, power, or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof.
No waiver of one breach shall constitute a waiver of a subsequent breach.
hipPitch may assign, transfer, or delegate any or all of its rights or obligations under these Terms to an affiliate, successor, purchaser, acquirer, or other entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, financing, or similar transaction, subject to applicable law.
