payment method and provide accurate billing and payment information when
prompted. You agree to pay SmartResumeWizard for all charges incurred under
your account, including all applicable taxes, fees and surcharges. You

your designated payment method, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by
SmartResumeWizard or its operators. Every time you use the Site, you reaffirm

which may result in international transactions fees billed to your credit card,
(collectively, the "Payment Service"), to collect payments for all
fees. At the time of purchase, you will provide SmartResumeWizard your payment
information and we will pass that along to the Payment Service. Please note
that any international transaction fees that you may incur are charged by your
bank and not by SmartResumeWizard. All questions concerning such fees should be
directed towards your bank. Any information you provide us in connection with
payment that we provide to the Payment Service will be subject to the Payment
Service's user agreement and privacy policy, not this Agreement or our Privacy
Policy. You acknowledge and agree that SmartResumeWizard is not, and will not
be, responsible or liable for the Payment Service's services, its site or any
acts or omissions of the Payment Service. Price and availability of any product
or service offered through the Site are subject to change without notice.
Refunds and exchanges will be subject to SmartResumeWizard’s refund and

when such charges are incurred, including without limitation, any taxes that
may be applicable.

one or more of our services commence on the date and time of service
establishment and remain active for so long as SmartResumeWizard offers that
service to the public, unless the service is otherwise cancelled by you or SmartResumeWizard
as outlined in this Agreement. In event that there is a billing discrepancy,
you must notify SmartResumeWizard’s customer service within 90 days after the
charge first appears on your credit card or bank or other account statement. If
you do not notify SmartResumeWizard within 90 days, you agree that you waive
your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies.
4. Fees charged for subscription
plans (including recurring subscriptions) are nonrefundable and are due in
advance unless otherwise noted. For subscription plans, your payment method
will be charged automatically at the appropriate interval until such time as
you cancel or SmartResumeWizard terminates your subscription. We will not
increase the amount we charge for subscription plans without notifying you in
advance via the email address associated with your account before the beginning
of the first renewal period affected by the increase. In the event we cannot
charge your account, we reserve the right to terminate your access to our
fee-based products. PLEASE NOTE: We will automatically charge your credit card
or other account at the start of the billing period and at the start of each
renewal period, unless you cancel your subscription before the relevant renewal
period begins.

EXCHANGE POLICY.
1. We want you to be 100%
satisfied with our products and services.
If you are less than satisfied or feel there has been an error in
billing, please contact us immediately so that we can help you
resolve the issue. If you are still
not satisfied you may request to cancel your subscription and obtain a refund
for up to 30 days of your seven day trial and subscription or six month option. After 30 days you may cancel any
subscription or access to the Site, but you will not be entitled to a refund.
2. When you cancel a subscription
to our fee-based products, you will continue to have access to our services for
the remainder of the subscription period for which SmartResumeWizard has
received payment or until you instruct us to terminate your access, whichever
is sooner. Thereafter, we will deactivate your user account and bar any further
access to such information and/or files as well as to that portion of our
website, except as we may otherwise provide from time to time or until you
renew your subscription. After your first 30 days, if you or SmartResumeWizard
cancels your subscription to one of our fee-based products before the end of
the applicable period, you agree that all fees and charges assessed for that
period by us are nonrefundable. Nonrefundable fees include the full monthly,
annual or lifetime fee for the entire period that has begun (regardless of
whether you logged onto our web site or used the fee-based product during that
period).

CONTENT AND MATERIALS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY RESUMES WRITTEN BY SMARTRESUMEWIZARD, AND ANY OTHER USER
INFORMATION PROVIDED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH) OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN
IF SMARTRESUMEWIZARD HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES),

12. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
1. The Site and all right, title
and interest in and to the Site is the sole property of SmartResumeWizard
and/or its Affiliates (including parent company) or its licensors, and is
protected by U.S. copyright and international treaties. SmartResumeWizard
reserves for itself and its licensors all other right, title and interest.
"SmartResumeWizard" and the SmartResumeWizard design logo are
registered service or trademarks and certain other names or logos, such as
TextTuner, for example, are service marks or trademarks of SmartResumeWizard.
All related products and service names, design marks and slogans are also the
service marks or trademarks of SmartResumeWizard. In addition, the
"look" and "feel" of the Site (including color
combinations, button shapes, layout, design and all other graphical elements)
are protected by SmartResumeWizard’s trademarks, service marks and copyrights.
All other product and service marks contained on the Site are the trademarks of
their respective owners. You agree that the Site and any software used in
connection with the Site contain proprietary and confidential information that
is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws. You further
agree that content, including any tests and/or reports, contained in
advertisements or information presented to you through the Site or by
advertisers is protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents or
other proprietary rights and laws. Except as expressly permitted by applicable
law or authorized by SmartResumeWizard or its advertisers (as applicable), you
agree not to modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute or create derivative
works based on the Service or the Software, in whole or in part. SmartResumeWizard
also reserves the right to use its work, including, without limitations, any
resumes written by SmartResumeWizard, in instructional or promotional material
subject to the Privacy Policy.
2. For the avoidance of doubt,
each User retains ownership of any materials you, the User, submits through the
Site (each, a "Submission"). However, in order to make your
Submissions available on the Site and to best provide you with career and educational
opportunities tailored to such Submissions, SmartResumeWizard needs certain
rights to your Submissions. As such, by submitting materials to our Site,
including resumes, you grant to SmartResumeWizard and its designees a
worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully-paid up, perpetual,
irrevocable right and license, without compensation or further notice to you:
(a) to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt (including without limitation edit,
modify, translate, and reformat), create derivative works of, publicly display
and publicly perform such Submission, and the contents of such Submission, in
any media now known or hereafter developed, for SmartResumeWizard’s business,
marketing and promotional purposes and (b) to sublicense the foregoing rights,
through multiple tiers, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law;
provided however, that in each case, with respect to the resume materials you
submit, such rights shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations
established by you in connection with your creation or maintenance of such
resume (for example, if you limit availability of your resume, SmartResumeWizard
will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the availability of
your resume complies with the settings you selected). By way of further
explanation, SmartResumeWizard would not be able to perform many of the
services we offer without your granting SmartResumeWizard these rights. For
example, without the right to "adapt," we would be unable to make the
necessary changes to the Submissions so that the Submissions meet our technical
criteria; without the right to reproduce, we would be unable to make copies of
Submissions on our servers to post the Submissions. As noted, this license is
non-exclusive (so you can license your Submissions to others), worldwide (as
the Internet is global in its reach), fully-paid up and royalty-free (so that
we do not have to pay you for posting your Submissions) and sublicenseable
through multiple tiers (so that we can use our subcontractors to provide
Services).
3. For each Submission, you

14. BINDING ARBITRATION.
THIS SECTION PROVIDES FOR
RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL
ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. As precursor to
arbitrating any dispute, you must first contact SmartResumeWizard by email at
[email protected], so that we can work to resolve the dispute.
Similarly, we must first contact you at the most recent email address that we
have on file for you before bringing a dispute to arbitration. In the event
that we cannot resolve a dispute within sixty (60) days of notification by
either party or if SmartResumeWizard is unable to reach you, you do not respond
to our efforts to contact you or you fail to engage in good-faith settlement
discussions with SmartResumeWizard , then the following procedures shall apply.
All disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by
arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its
Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related
Disputes ("Supplementary Procedures"), as amended by the terms of
this Agreement. The Supplementary Procedures are available online at
www.adr.org. To the extent that the arbitrator deems reasonable, the arbitrator
shall conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather
than by personal appearances. Any in-person appearances requested by the
arbitrator shall be held in San Francisco, CA. The arbitrator's decision shall
be based upon the substantive laws of the State of California without regard to
its principles of conflicts of law. Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted
in English and shall be conducted in a manner that preserves confidentiality.
The arbitrator's decision shall follow the plain meaning of the relevant
documents and shall be final and binding. The award rendered by the
arbitrator(s) may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, SmartResumeWizard may seek injunctive
relief in U.S. state or federal courts for protection of its intellectual
property rights (including the rights of its licensors), and you agree to
exclusive jurisdiction by the federal and state courts located in the State of California
and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such
courts.
