PRIVACY POLICY

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU

​

At the Huddle Up Group, your privacy is a top priority. Your privacy is at the core of the way we design and build the services and products you know and value, so that you can fully trust them and focus on establishing meaningful business relationships, events, and experiences, and making informed business decisions and analyses.

​

We appreciate that you put your trust in us when you provide us with your information and we do not take this lightly.

​

We do not compromise with your privacy. We design all of our products and services with your privacy in mind. We involve experts from various fields, including legal, security, engineering, product design and others to make sure that no decision is taken without respect for your privacy.

 

We strive to be transparent in the way we process your data. Because we use many of the same online services you do, we know that insufficient information and overly complicated language are common issues in privacy policies. We take the exact opposite approach: we have written our Privacy Policy and related documents in a manner that is complete, yet easy to navigate and understand.

 

We work hard to keep your information secure. We have processes dedicated to keeping your data safe and secure. We constantly update our security practices and invest in our security efforts to enhance the safety of your information.

You may have heard of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), as it relates to online service providers, like HUG, being asked to remove material that allegedly violates someone’s copyright.  We respect others’ intellectual property rights, and we reserve the right to delete or disable Content alleged to be infringing, and to terminate the accounts of repeat alleged infringers.

​

Who is responsible for what I see and do on the Service?

​

Any information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Service is the sole responsibility of the person or organization from whom such content originated, and you access all such information and content at your own risk, and we aren’t liable for any errors or omissions in that information or content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it.   We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Service.  We can’t guarantee the identity of any users with whom you interact when using the Service and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Service.

​

You are responsible for all Content you contribute, in any manner, to the Service, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it.  Content includes, without limitation, personally identifiable information about you, your company or organization, or any other person. You will keep all your registration information accurate and current.  You are responsible for all your activity in connection with the Service.

​

The Service may contain content, data, links or connections to or from third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by HUG (“Third-Party Services”). When you access or use Third-Party Services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that HUG is not responsible for such risks.  We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Service and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each Third-Party Service that you visit or utilize.

​

HUG has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any Third-Party Services or by any third party that you interact with through the Service. In addition, HUG will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any Third-Party Services. By using the Service, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your access to or use of any Third-Party Service.

​

Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Service, including payment and delivery of goods or services (if applicable), and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You agree that HUG shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.

​

If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between Users and any third party, you agree that HUG is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other Users, you release HUG, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Service. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

​

Will HUG ever change the Services?

​

We’re always trying to improve our Services, so they may change over time.  We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Service.  We’ll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Service that would adversely affect you, but this isn’t always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Service at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.

​

From time to time, HUG may require you to expunge some or all of the Content in your possession, and you will do so promptly upon request.

 

Does using HUG cost anything?

​

We reserve the right to charge for certain parts of our Services. Visiting our website, of course, is free. Certain aspects or uses of the Service require you to pay fees, for example, in order to access the Sports Tourism Index, Scout, and certain mailing lists. Visit our website for current descriptions of these services and the applicable fees. You agree to pay all fees which apply to your use of the Service. HUG reserves the right to change any fees and pricing applicable to the Service at any time upon notice to you (which may be sent by email or posted on HUG’s website). Your use of the Service following such notification constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased fees.

​

What if I want to stop using HUG?

​

You’re free to do that at any time; please refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Service.

​

HUG is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Service or your account, for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms.   HUG has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.

​

Account termination may result in destruction of any Content associated with your account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account.  Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination.  By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.

​

Additionally, upon termination of your account HUG may require you to expunge some or all of the Content in your possession, and you will do so promptly.

Terms of Service

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY:

​

Our Cancellation & Refund Policy is broken into two parts depending on the nature of the HUG Services rendered:

​

1. For paid online transactions for use of or access to HUG software, apps, applications, products, newsletters, and databases (collectively, “Subscriptions”), particularly the Sports Tourism Index and Scout:

     a) NO REFUNDS

​

REFUNDS WILL NOT BE PROVIDED. ALL PAYMENTS AND SALES ARE FINAL. We do not provide credit, refunds, price protection, or prorated billing for subscriptions that are cancelled mid-term under any circumstance whatsoever. In such a circumstance, you will continue to have access to your Subscription until the end of the Term’s billing cycle.

​

b) Cancellation

​

You may cancel your Subscription at any time. Please note that you must cancel your Subscription before it’s current Term renews for a subsequent Term to avoid being billed for the next Term’s Subscription fee. The “Term” is the period of time for which you are granted use of or access to a Subscription as specified in the order. For example, the Term of the Sports Tourism Index and Scout is one (1) year, and may be renewed annually. If you cancel your Subscription, the cancellation will become effective at the end of the then-current Term.

​

To cancel your Subscription, you must inform us of your decision. Please send your cancellation request to us via email at: admin@HuddleUpGroup.com

​

​2. For non-”Subscription” or consultative services such as events, strategic plans, facility audits, and other transactions or agreements not included in Section 1) of this policy:

​

a) Refunds and cancellations are reviewed on a case by case basis at our complete and exclusive discretion. This is due to the nature of these services; each circumstance and partner is unique, so “one size” does not fit all. We treat each individual partner with good faith and strive to find mutually beneficial outcomes for all parties involved.

​

What else do I need to know?

​

Warranty Disclaimer.  Neither HUG nor its licensors or suppliers makes any representations or warranties concerning any content contained in or accessed through the Service, and we will not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in or accessed through the Service.  We (and our licensors and suppliers) make no representations or warranties regarding suggestions or recommendations of services or products offered or purchased through the Service.  Products and services purchased or offered (whether or not following such recommendations and suggestions) through the Service are provided “AS IS” and without any warranty of any kind from HUG or others (unless, with respect to such others only, provided expressly and unambiguously in writing by a designated third party for a specific product).  THE SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED BY HUG (AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS) ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR  A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. HUG DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR THE ACCURACY, CONTENT, COMPLETENESS, LEGALITY, OR RELIABILITY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE SERVICES. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF ALL CONTENT IS WITH YOU. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

 

Limitation of Liability.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL HUG (OR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, ACCURACY OF RESULTS, OR COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR (B) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF (I) $100 OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO HUG IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM, OR (III) ANY MATTER BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.  SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

​

Forward-Looking Statements, Estimates, And Projections. Some aspects of the Services may contain certain statements, estimates, approximations, projections, and financial and operating information ("Estimates") that constitute forward-looking statements or information. Forward-looking statements or information may be identified by using the words "targets", "believes", "estimates", “approximates”, “projects”, "expects", "aims", "intends", "will", "can", "may", "anticipates", "would", "should", "could" and similar expressions in such statements or the negative thereof. These forward-looking statements or information involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from the Estimates or results implied or expressed in such forward-looking statements. While in some cases presented with numerical specificity, the Estimates are based upon (i) certain assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, regulatory, environmental, seasonal, geographical, competitive uncertainties, contingencies and risks and (ii) assumptions with respect to future business decisions that are subject to change. 

 

There can be no assurance that the Estimates or the underlying assumptions will be realized and that actual results of operations or future events will not be materially different from the Estimates. Under no circumstances should the inclusion of the Estimates be regarded as a guarantee, representation, undertaking, warranty or prediction by HUG. Users of the Services are cautioned that forward-looking statements, Estimates, or information are not guarantees of future performance and, accordingly, Users are expressly cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, Estimates, information due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

​

Indemnity.  You agree to indemnify and hold HUG, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and partners harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties (including governmental fines), damages (actual and consequential), losses and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or in any way relating to (a) your use of the Services (including any actions taken by a third party using your account), or (b) your violation of these Terms.

​

Assignment.  You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Service account, in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without HUG’s prior written consent.  We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.

(“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules.

For all purposes of these Terms, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in Arizona. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.  YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND HUG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Miscellaneous.  You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Service, provided that HUG may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit.  The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.  If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.  You and HUG agree that these Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and HUG, and that it supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms.  You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of HUG, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind HUG in any respect whatsoever. HUG is not and shall not be construed as a legal agent of any destination, event rights holder, or other User. Any Estimate provided by the Services shall not be construed as a binding contractual offer; any contract desired to be formed between a destination, event rights holder, or other User(s) of our Services must be executed by a formal written agreement between the parties.

 

Term and Termination. These Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you are a User of our Services.
