Terms of Agreement
- Commencement - This agreement shall commence on the acceptance by The Company of the Client's registration.
Acceptance of a valid Membership is when the Client provides valid payment of annual or monthly membership fees and a valid
authorization to use the website is issued.
- Charges and Terms of Payment - All charges are payable in advance. Current charges are displayed on Absolute HR Solutions'
Orderform page. All memberships are charged on an annual or monthly basis on the date the membership is established.
Membership
Included in a Membership are the following benefits:
- The ability to interact on-line with an HR Consultant each month for which payment is received.
Interaction with Absolute HR Solutions consultants permits 2 limited questions each month to receive certain
personalized Human Resources information requested by the Client. Absolute HR Solutions utilization and pricing is determined
by the amount of time required to research and prepare the information requested. Most basic questions can be answered within a
24-hour time frame or less and will count towards the 2-questions-per-month limit. The complexity of your question and amount of
follow-up will determine if an additional charge will be warranted. Clients will be advised when their question is no longer
covered by the 2-questions-per-month limit and the resulting additional charge. During the course of membership, Absolute HR
Solutions will credit each eligible Client's account on the purchase anniversary date (monthly, semi-annually or quarterly). Any
remaining question(s) from the previous month will not be carried forward.
In the event that the Client utilizes the 2-questions-per-month limit within any month, the Client has the option to buy
additional questions for $19.95 each or negotiate a consulting fee. There will be no refunds for unused consulting time or
subscriptions.
A Client need not be a member to purchase consulting time; however there may be a different pricing structure for Non-Members.
The ability to ask questions may be accessed by the Client only after a pre-paid account is established with The Company.
The ability to interact with Absolute HR Solutions consultants will only be available to Clients when funds are cleared. In the
case of checks, this will be on clearance by the bank, and in the case of credit cards, on authorization of credit card payments.
Both memberships require submission of registration information including contact and company information. Upon validation of
registration information an authorized site authorization will be issued. Absolute HR Solutions reserves the right to cancel
site authorization at anytime if it deems the information supplied by the registrant is misrepresented or distorted, such as
using fake email addresses to gain site access. The Client acknowledges that the Company has no refund policy on memberships.
The Client further acknowledges that once a subscription period starts it cannot be suspended for any reason whatsoever until
the last day of the subscription or until the subscription naturally lapses.
Memberships will automatically be renewed on anniversary date of the membership. The previously submitted payment information
will be used to process renewal fees.
