Introduction

By using www.batterii.com (the “Website”), you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the “Terms of Service”) that govern your access to and use of the Website and the content, functionality, and services provided to you through it (collectively with the Website, the “Service”), whether as a guest or a registered user. Please read the Terms of Service carefully before you start to use the Website. By using the Website or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Service when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy, found at https://batterii.com/privacy.html, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website.

You are advised to check the Terms of Service from time to time for any updates or changes that may impact you or your use of the Services. Batterii, LLC (“Batterii” or “we,” “us” or similar words) reserves the right to update and modify the Terms of Service at any time without notice. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Website thereafter. New features that may be added to the Service shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Should you continue to use the Service after any such modifications have been made, this shall constitute your agreement to such modifications. Violation of any part of the Terms of Service will result in termination of your account.

If you open an account or use the Service on behalf of an entity or individual that has contracted with Batterii for use of the Service (a “Batterii Client”), or in connection with services that you provide to a Batterii Client, then (i) “you” includes you and that Batterii Client, and (ii) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the Batterii Client with the authority to bind the Batterii Client to the Terms of Service, and that you agree to the Terms of Service on your own behalf and on behalf of the Batterii Client. If you are using the Service solely to provide feedback, reviews or similar input on the products or services being tested or researched by a Batterii Client (i.e. you are using the Service as a provider of market research inputs and are not analyzing, interpreting or otherwise aggregating such inputs or similar inputs on behalf of a Batterii Client) (a “Consumer Participant”), the forgoing sentence shall not apply to you, and, instead, you agree to the Terms of Service on your own behalf.

In the event you are using the Service as the employee, agent, representative or vendor of a Batterii Client (“Client Representative”) that has a separate commercial agreement with Batterii for use of the Service and such agreement conflicts with the Terms of Service, such separate agreement shall control in the event of any conflicting terms.

In order to use the Service, you must comply with any written agreements between you and a Batterii Client and, if you are a Client Representative, all written agreements between the Batterii Client and Batterii. You understand that Batterii Clients are not our agents, our partners, or in a joint venture with us and have no right to bind us, and that any agreement or dispute between you and a Batterii Client and/or any agent of the Batterii Client is between you and such Batterii Client and/or the agent of the Batterii Client only, and Batterii will have no liability with respect to such disputes.
