These H2R Market Research Terms of Service (“Terms”) may be updated from time to time as explained herein. We encourage you to refer to these Terms regularly to ensure your compliance and understanding of them. They can be found at www.h2rmarketresearch.com/terms-of-service.

Acceptance of Terms

Please read these Terms carefully before using www.H2Rmarketresearch.com (the “Website”) or the products or services offered by H2R Market Research (the “Services”). These Terms take effect upon your execution of any proposal and/or agreement with H2R Market Research. Acceptance is also acknowledged when you click an “I Accept” button or checkbox presented with these Terms or when you use any of the Services or Website, whichever occurs first. You represent to us that you are lawfully able and have requisite legal capacity to enter into contracts. If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent to us that you have legal authority to bind that entity. For purposes of these Terms, “you” means you and the entity you represent and also refers to any person accessing the Services by any method on your behalf.

Description of H2R Market Research Services

H2R Market Research (“we” or “us”) provide professional services (“Services”), including the development and delivery of certain deliverables (“Deliverables”) specified in an order or proposal. Professional Services are purchased on a project basis.

For purposes of these Terms, data includes all survey responses, reports, and any other information input or generated on your behalf in connection with the Services (“Data”).

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your payment of any applicable fees, effective upon the execution of an applicable order or proposal, H2R Market Research grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, revocable license to use the Services for your own internal business purposes.

Fees

You will pay us those fees and charges specified on the applicable order or executed proposal. You are responsible for all applicable taxes on the fees and charges paid by you, including any and all sales, use, and value-added taxes, but not any taxes imposed on H2R Market Research income. Subject to any special terms agreed, you shall pay all fees for Services and any additional sums which are agreed between you and us for the provision of the Services and Deliverables or which, in our sole discretion, are required as a result of your instructions or lack of instructions or any other cause attributable to you. H2R Market Research shall be entitled to invoice you at regular intervals in its sole discretion and may withhold Deliverables until payment for same is first received. All fees and any additional sums payable shall be paid by you without any set-off or other deduction within 30 days of the date of our invoice. Time for payment is of the essence. If payment is not made on a due date, we shall be entitled, without limiting any other rights we may have: (1) to charge interest on the outstanding amount at the rate of 1.5% per month until the outstanding amount is paid in full; (2) to cease all further Services without liability in respect of any or loss or damage sustained by you as a result PROVIDED THAT in any such event you shall not in any respect be released from your contractual obligations to us. Services provided that are not part of a specific order or executed proposal, but are, at a minimum, at your direction, will be chargeable at H2R Market Research’s standard rates from time to time. If project is abandoned before fieldwork begins, a 20% fee of contract will be charged. Once fieldwork begins, the full amount is owed.
