Document Version: 1.2
Please read this Agreement 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 this User Agreement (the "Agreement"), as well as hipPitch's Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Usage Policy, 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 the applicable Terms, EULA, or User Agreement 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 accepting this Agreement, you expressly agree to comply with hipPitch's rules governing User Content, objectionable content, abusive or harassing behavior, reporting, blocking, moderation, payment, subscriptions, and enforcement.
If you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are not permitted to register for, log in to, access, 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 this Agreement at any time and for any reason.
Where a change is material, hipPitch may require Users to review and affirmatively accept the updated Agreement before continuing to access or use some or all Platform features.
Your continued access to or use of the Platform following the effective date of permitted changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Agreement, except where applicable law or hipPitch requires renewed affirmative consent.
It is your responsibility to review this Agreement periodically to remain informed of any updates.
hipPitch is the video-first 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're 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, professional, academic, creative, 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, digital functionality, services, increased usage limits, or other benefits may be available only through free trials, one-time purchases, subscriptions, or Paid Plans.
hipPitch does not guarantee any outcomes, employment opportunities, admissions decisions, investments, funding, partnerships, business opportunities, audience exposure, engagement, or commercial success 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:
Users must be at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time of registration and at all times during their use of the Platform.
Users must possess the full legal authority, right, and capacity to enter into binding contractual agreements under applicable law.
Use of the Platform by any individual under the age of eighteen (18) is strictly prohibited.
Users must not be prohibited from receiving or using the Platform under applicable law.
By registering for 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 person or entity, 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 this Agreement, the Usage Policy, community standards, applicable law, or other policies applicable to the Platform.
Grounds for suspension or termination may include, without limitation:
Posting or distributing objectionable or prohibited content;
Harassing, threatening, bullying, abusing, stalking, or intimidating another User;
Repeated violations of hipPitch's content standards;
Fraudulent, deceptive, unlawful, or harmful activity;
Circumventing moderation, reporting, blocking, or enforcement mechanisms;
Attempting to evade a previous suspension or permanent ban;
Misusing messaging, reporting, blocking, sharing, or other Platform functionality.
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, comments, messages, information, and other materials they submit, upload, post, display, publish, transmit, 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, supporting, promoting, 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 obligations.
Users represent and warrant that they own or otherwise possess all rights, licenses, authorizations, permissions, and consents necessary to submit and make their User Content available through the Platform.
hipPitch maintains a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive, threatening, harassing, bullying, stalking, exploitative, or otherwise harmful behavior.

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, this Agreement, hipPitch's Terms and Conditions, Usage Policy, and any applicable community standards.
User Content must not be false, misleading, fraudulent, defamatory, libelous, obscene, pornographic, threatening, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, 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 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:
Impersonating any person, entity, business, institution, or organization, or falsely stating or misrepresenting an affiliation with any person or entity;
Harassing, bullying, intimidating, stalking, threatening, exploiting, or abusing another User;
Sending repeated unwanted communications after another User has indicated that contact is unwanted;
Encouraging another person to engage in harassment, abuse, threats, violence, unlawful activity, or prohibited conduct;
Attempting to contact or interact with another User after being blocked where such interaction circumvents the Platform's blocking functionality;
Creating additional Accounts for the purpose of evading a suspension, restriction, or permanent ban;
Knowingly filing false, malicious, retaliatory, or fraudulent reports against another User;
Manipulating reporting, ranking, recommendation, moderation, or safety systems;
Using automated tools, bots, scrapers, crawlers, or any other automated means to access, collect, or harvest data from the Platform without hipPitch's prior express written consent;
Interfering with, disrupting, damaging, or attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Platform's servers, networks, Accounts, software, databases, or security systems;
Uploading, transmitting, distributing, or introducing malicious code, viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, malware, or other harmful software or files;

Using the Platform to facilitate criminal, fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct; or
Violating any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation in connection with use of the Platform.
hipPitch may use automated systems, technical controls, keyword or pattern detection, machine-assisted moderation, human review, User reports, administrative review, or other 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 encouraged to immediately report User Content or behavior they reasonably believe violates this Agreement.
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 this Agreement 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 Account or technical 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 after receiving the report.
Appropriate action may include:
Removing or disabling access to User Content;
Restricting the distribution or visibility of content;
Issuing warnings;
Temporarily restricting an Account;
Suspending an Account;
Permanently banning an Account;
Preventing further interaction between Users;
Preserving relevant information where legally required;
Referring serious threats or unlawful conduct to appropriate authorities where required by law or reasonably necessary for safety; or
Taking other reasonable action to protect Users, third parties, and the Platform.
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 after the block has been successfully processed.
Blocking may also restrict messaging, profile interaction, discovery, notifications, comments, reactions, recommendations, 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 moderation or administrative team for safety review.
Blocking another User does not automatically remove that User's content from the Platform for all other Users unless hipPitch separately determines that the content violates this Agreement or another applicable policy.
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, automated signals, and other reasonably available evidence.
Where hipPitch determines that reported content violates this Agreement or applicable policies, hipPitch may remove or disable access to the reported content.
hipPitch will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove or disable access to reported objectionable content within twenty-four (24) hours after receiving the report where removal is warranted.
Where hipPitch determines that a User has engaged in serious or repeated violations, harassment, bullying, abuse, threats, exploitation, fraud, or other prohibited conduct, hipPitch may restrict, 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, secure 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 where hipPitch reasonably determines that the content:
Violates this Agreement;
Violates the Terms and Conditions, Usage Policy, or community standards;
Constitutes Objectionable Content;
Violates applicable law;
Violates another person's rights;
Presents a safety, security, fraud, or abuse risk;
Has been reported and requires investigation; or
Could expose hipPitch, Users, or third parties to legal, security, reputational, or operational risk.
hipPitch shall not be liable to any User for good-faith moderation or enforcement actions taken in accordance with this Agreement, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
All content, software, technology, source code, object code, designs, graphics, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, interfaces, 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, or otherwise exploit any hipPitch IP without the prior written consent of hipPitch except where applicable law expressly permits such use.
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 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 enhanced Pitch functionality, longer Pitch durations, advanced analytics, priority features, premium presentation tools, additional storage or usage, investor or professional matching tools, or other benefits identified at the time of purchase.
Paid Plans are subject to this Section and all other applicable terms of this Agreement.
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 applicable purchase provider's procedures.
The User is responsible for maintaining valid and current payment information with the applicable payment provider.
Subscription fees and other purchase prices applicable to Paid Plans will be displayed before purchase.
Pricing may vary based on subscription duration, features, promotions, geographic region, currency, taxes, application-store requirements, or other applicable commercial factors.
For Apple IAP transactions, the price shown through Apple's purchase interface at the time of purchase will govern the transaction.
hipPitch may change subscription pricing from time to time.
For subscriptions purchased through Apple, any required notice, consent, billing adjustment, or renewal treatment associated with a price change will be handled in accordance with applicable law and Apple's applicable subscription procedures.
For subscriptions purchased directly from hipPitch, hipPitch will provide notice of material pricing changes where required by law.
From time to time, hipPitch may offer free trials, introductory pricing, promotional pricing, discounts, or other similar offers ("Promotional Offers").
The duration, eligibility requirements, 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 Apple IAP subscriptions, trial eligibility, billing commencement, conversion, renewal, and cancellation will be governed by Apple's applicable purchase and subscription systems.
hipPitch reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue Promotional Offers subject to applicable law and commitments already made to participating Users.
Users may cancel a Paid Plan through the applicable subscription-management mechanism.
For subscriptions purchased directly from hipPitch, cancellation may be available through 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.
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 a non-Apple payment processor, fees are generally non-refundable once the applicable service or subscription period has begun, except where:
Required by applicable law;
Otherwise stated at the time of purchase;
A specific refund policy applies; or
hipPitch elects to issue a refund in its discretion.
Users with billing concerns relating to a direct hipPitch purchase may contact support@sciomeworld.com.
Nothing in this Section limits non-waivable consumer rights.
Users are responsible for taxes, levies, duties, or other governmental charges applicable to purchases except where hipPitch or the applicable payment provider 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.
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 entitlement has been re-established.
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 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 this Agreement 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 Account alerts, Pitch activity updates, 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 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 permitted by applicable 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 service 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 ("Privacy Policy"), which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
The Privacy Policy is available at hippitch.net/app/content/privacy-policy.
Personal information may also be processed in connection with User Content moderation, reports, blocking functionality, safety investigations, fraud prevention, Account security, 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, app stores, payment providers, or services, or may integrate third-party tools and services to enhance functionality ("Third-Party Services").
Third-Party Services may include Apple App Store services, authentication providers, cloud infrastructure, analytics services, communications providers, payment processors, and other service providers.
hipPitch does not own, operate, control, or endorse independent Third-Party Services and is not responsible for their independent content, accuracy, policies, practices, terms, security, availability, 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 this Agreement excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement 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 this Agreement 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:
The User's access to or use of the Platform;
Any Pitch or other User Content created, uploaded, submitted, transmitted, or distributed by the User;
The User's breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation under this Agreement;
The User's violation of the Terms and Conditions, Usage Policy, or community standards;
The User's harassment, abuse, prohibited content, fraudulent activity, or other misconduct;
The User's violation of applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation; or
The User's infringement, misappropriation, or violation of the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or contractual rights.
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.
This Agreement and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement 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 THIS AGREEMENT, 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 this Agreement.
Changes will become effective on the date specified in the updated Agreement.
The current version will be made available through the Platform and at the applicable hipPitch legal-information page.
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 Agreement before continuing to register, log in, or use some or all Platform features.
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:
Violation of this Agreement;
Violation of the Terms and Conditions, Usage Policy, or community standards;
Posting Objectionable Content;
Harassment, bullying, abusive behavior, stalking, threats, or exploitation;
Repeated violations of content rules;
Fraudulent or illegal activity;
Attempts to evade moderation, blocking, suspension, or enforcement;
Conduct harmful to hipPitch, another User, or a third party;
Security abuse; or
Other serious misconduct.
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 through 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 this Agreement 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.
This Agreement, together with hipPitch's Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Usage Policy, and any additional terms, policies, community standards, or guidelines expressly incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the agreement between the User and hipPitch regarding the subject matter governed by those documents.
These documents supersede prior inconsistent understandings, representations, or agreements relating to such subject matter to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If any provision of this Agreement 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 this Agreement 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 this Agreement 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.
Users may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations under this Agreement without hipPitch's prior written consent.
Any prohibited attempted assignment shall be void to the extent permitted by applicable law.
hipPitch shall not be liable for failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond hipPitch's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, governmental actions, internet failures, telecommunications failures, cloud-service outages, application-store outages, payment-system failures, cyber incidents affecting third parties, or other events of force majeure.
hipPitch will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume affected services when reasonably practicable.
