Terms of Service

Your Acceptance

Thank you for choosing to become a member of Roofing Technology Think Tank (“RT3”) and avail yourself of its services (the “Service”). This agreement (“Agreement”) is between RT3 (RT3, “us,” “we,” or “our”) and the person or entity agreeing to these terms (“you”). If you are agreeing to this Agreement not as an individual but on behalf of your company, then “you” means your company, and you are binding your company and employees to this Agreement.

By using or accessing the Service or clicking on the “I agree” button that is presented to you at the time of submitting your payment, you agree to these terms and conditions of use as well as the bylaws governing RT3 (“Terms”).

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not click the “Submit” button and stop using the Service immediately.

2. Scope

These Terms govern your membership in RT3 and use of the Service. These Terms include the bylaws and any other RT3 policies, Privacy Policy Acceptable Use Policy, Site Terms and Conditions, and any other references to RT3 policies and attachments posted at https://rt3thinktank.com/ (“Site”) from time to time as though those policies were included in these Terms. If any of the provisions of any applicable RT3 policy apart from the bylaws conflict with these Terms, these Terms have priority, solely to the extent such Terms apply to the Service.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

You agree that all intellectual property of any sort in or associated with the Service, including all documentation, content, databases, systems, logos and trademarks are owned either directly by us or by our licensors.

5. Term and Renewal

RT3 membership and access to the Services are provided on an annual basis. You will be notified when your annual membership fee is due. If you cancel, your membership will terminate at the end of the twelve-month period unless you state you desire to terminate your membership immediately, but you will not be entitled to any credits or refunds for amounts accrued or paid prior to such termination.

 

6. Billing and Payment

You agree to pay all membership fees those prescribed at the annual meeting. Those fees are currently $500 for an individual member and $1,500 for a corporate membership with 4 employees allowed membership under the corporate membership. All amounts are non-refundable, non-cancellable and non-creditable.

 

7. Security

By using the Service, you acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to ensure the confidentiality and security of any information transmitted from or stored on a device for the purposes of the Service, for all transactions and other activities in the End User’s name, whether authorized or unauthorized. You understand that use of the Service involves transmission of your data over networks that are not owned, operated or controlled by us, and we are not responsible for any of your data lost, altered, intercepted or stored across such networks. We cannot guarantee that our security procedures will be error-free, that transmissions of your data will always be secure or that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or those of our third party service providers.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude completely all liability whatsoever for any claims, liability, loss or damage of any kind however caused (including negligence) arising out of or in connection with any goods or services provided by us including the Service and its access, use or performance.

Notwithstanding the above, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall our aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms exceed the greater of five  hundred dollars ($500) or the amount that you paid, if any, to us for access to or use of the Service during the six months period immediately prior to the event giving rise to such liability.

We may update or modify these Terms from time to time, including any referenced policies and other documents.

12. General

The waiver of any right or failure of either of us to exercise in any respect any right provided in these Terms in any instance shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right in the future or a waiver of any right under these Terms.
