3. Accounts

3.1 Account Registration

While certain Platform Content is publicly available, you must register for a user account before you are able to use certain of the Services.  You may register to create an account directly via the Website or App.

You may not register for an account on behalf of any person (other than yourself).

No person or entity may have more than one active account at any given time.

3.2 Account Set-Up

Your account and account profile page will be created based upon the information you provide to us, or that we obtain via a third-party professional or social networking website (a “social media site”), as described below.

You agree to provide complete, accurate and up-to-date information during the registration process and to update such information as necessary to ensure that it remains complete, accurate and up to date. Please note that the name and contact information that you submit when you register will be shared in accordance with your selections in your account settings when you share Your Content.

When you create your account, you will be asked to create a username and password, which you will be solely responsible for safeguarding.  We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your Empify account or any other account that you may connect to your Empify account.  You agree not to disclose your username or password to any third party, and you agree to immediately notify Empify of any unauthorized use of your account.  You further acknowledge and agree that you will be solely responsible for any activities or actions on or through your account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions.  Empify cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

In addition to registering directly through our Website or App, you may also be able to register for an account through certain social media sites by linking your account with the social media site account (or, “social media account”).  You can do this by either (i) providing your social media account login information to Empify or (ii) allowing Empify to access your social media account, as permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of the social media account.  You represent that you are entitled to disclose your social media account login information to Empify and/or grant Empify access to your social media account for the purposes described herein, without breach by you of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable social media site and without obligating Empify to pay any fees or making Empify subject to any usage limitations imposed by such social media site providers.

By granting Empify access to any social media accounts, you authorize Empify to access, make available and store any information and content, including profile photos, stored in your social media account, to be made available on your account profile page on the Platform.  Depending on the social media account you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such social media account, personally identifiable information that you post to your social media account may become available on and through your account with Empify.  All such information and content, if any, will be considered to be Your Content for purposes of the Terms.  Empify makes no effort to review any of your information or content accessed from such social media sites for any purpose, including for accuracy, legality or non-infringement and Empify is not responsible for any such information or content.

Please note that if a social media account or associated service becomes unavailable or Empify’s access to such social media account is terminated by the social media site provider, the information and content accessed from your social media account may no longer be available on or through your account with us.

You have the ability to disable the connection between your account with us and your social media accounts, at any time, by [accessing the “Settings” section of the Website and App.] PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA SITE PROVIDER ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH SOCIAL MEDIA SITE PROVIDER.

3.3 Account Suspension & Cancellation

You may cancel your account at any time.

We may, in our discretion, without liability to you and without limiting our other remedies, with or without prior notice and at any time, decide to (i) limit, suspend, deactivate or cancel your account and take technical and legal steps to prevent you from using our Platform and Services at any time for any reason, and (ii) screen or delay the posting or delivery of Your Content.

Empify reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account or your access to the Platform if you create more than one account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter is determined to be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, deceptive or fraudulent.

We reserve the right to cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a prolonged period of time.  We also reserve the right to cancel accounts of Users who fail to comply with the Terms, including the terms and conditions regarding User conduct, as set forth in the “User Conduct Guidelines” section below and elsewhere in the Terms.

If your account is deactivated or cancelled, Empify will have the right, but not the obligation to delete Your Content.

If Empify has suspended your account due to your actual or suspected breach of the Terms, such suspension will continue until the suspected breach is cured or otherwise resolved to Empify’s reasonable satisfaction.

4. Payment Terms

4.1 Subscriptions

You agree to pay the fee for the recurring subscription fee for your subscription at the rates and frequency in effect when the charges are incurred, including any applicable taxes.  Any change in the subscription fee will go into effect for the next billing period after we provide notice of the change. To cancel your subscription, you can log in to your WealthBuilders Community account from your desktop, click into Your Settings, Purchases, and update your Active Subscriptions.

4.2 Payment/ Credit Cards

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING EMPIFY WITH VALID CREDIT CARD OR PAYMENT ACCOUNT DETAILS AND FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES.  Please note that the payment information, including name and contact information, that you submit when you register may be used and shared with our payment processing services provider and otherwise used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Empify will automatically charge the credit card or payment account associated with your account at the beginning of the billing period, and billing will recur automatically at regular intervals until you change or terminate your account.  If you wish to designate a different credit card or payment account, or if there is a change in your credit card or payment account status, you must change your information in your account.  This may temporarily disrupt your access to your account while Empify verifies your new payment information.  Any change in the chosen payment method will go into effect for the next billing period.  Please note that the payment information, including name and contact information that you submit when you register may be used and shared with our payment processing services provider and otherwise used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may contact you via email regarding your account, for example, in connection with a problem with your credit card or payment account.

4.3 Free Trial Offers

If you receive a free trial offer for a specific time period, you will not be charged during the period of the free trial, but the subscription fee will be automatically charged to the credit card associated with your account for the subsequent period the day after your free trial period has ended, in advance, in accordance with the “Subscriptions” terms stated above.  Thereafter, you will be charged at monthly intervals until you decide to cancel.  Please make a note of when your free trial will expire as you may not receive additional notice prior to the automatic charge if you do not cancel before the free trial period expires.  Free trials are limited to one per person.  If you attempt to register for a second free trial offer, Empify will automatically charge your credit card in accordance with the “Subscriptions” terms stated above.  If you do not wish to pay the applicable fees for a subscription, you should cancel your account before the free trial period ends and not complete any subsequent registration for a subscription.
