Terms of Use (Team Leaders)

Last updated 19 June 2019

(1) Introduction

We have two sets of use terms – one for individual team members (“Member Terms”) and those set out here which are for organizations/teams and their team leaders who sign up to use MindTrackers^© in their team/organization.

These Terms of Use are for organizations/teams only and apply to your organization’s/team’s use of mindtrackers.com and all content and services made available through it (including the purchase of paid for products/content and services) (the “Website”); by using the Website, you (as administrator (“Team Leader”) for your organization/team (“Team”)) and your Team agree to these Terms of Use in full. If you and/or your Team disagree with these Terms of Use or any part of these Terms of Use, please do not register, subscribe or use the Website.

By using the Website on behalf of your Team (which you will identify when you register with us) you confirm that you are entitled to do so and that you have authority to bind your Team (including any legal entity behind your Team) to its terms. References to “you” in these terms mean you and your Team and any legal entity behind them.

The Website uses cookies. By using the Website and agreeing to these Terms of Use, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with the terms of our Privacy Notice. Personal data you provide to us will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

You must be over the age of 18 years to use the Website as a Team Leader and subscribe to our premium services. Team members must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of consent in the relevant country). It is your responsibility to provide details of team members (“Team Members”) to us and have them register with us so that we can permit them access to MindTrackers^© so you can use MindTrackers^© within your team/organization. You are responsible for how your Team and your Team Members use the Website.

The Website is designed for business users, not consumers, and these terms are drafted with business users (including charities) in mind. If you are a consumer, you are not entitled to use the Website. For services aimed at consumers, we recommend checking out https://www.16personalities.com.

Please read – how our products (which include our Website) are intended to be used, and what are your obligations in relation to their use:

Our products and Website are provided for information purposes only to help understand and improve team culture, motivation, communication style, and similar aspects. They are not provided for medical, employment, or psychological assessment purposes (e.g. to recruit, screen, manage, or assess others in an employment context). Also:

Use of our products and Website assumes that those using or participating are willing to do so and that the facilitator has read the facilitation guide and conducts any workshop and uses any results in a non-discriminatory, lawful and sensitive manner. You are responsible for and will comply with all employment, data protection and any other relevant laws and regulations in having your Team Members use the Website.
You undertake to keep individual results confidential and to respect the fact that an individual’s results are confidential to them and that they have the right to keep them confidential and not disclose them to others whether inside or outside your organization.
Our products and Website are only useful if those participating are honest about their teamwork styles and preferences. If that is not the case (for example, they feel they need to respond in a particular way in order for that to be acceptable to their manager or organization), then any output will be flawed. In any event, we have no liability for the output of any of our services and products and for any use you may make of such outputs.
Any decisions that you make once you have used our products and Website are for you alone and we will not be liable for the consequences of any such decisions.
Our Website provides information and materials relating to personality traits for general guidance and information only. This information cannot provide (and is not intended to provide) comprehensive coverage of all relevant issues nor advice on specific issues. Our content should always be used in conjunction with other information, advice and training.
We make no claims or representations in relation to the emotional, health or commercial benefits of using our products and the Website and the information provided on the Website is no substitute for professional, medical or psychiatric advice where applicable.

Please note that these Terms of Use may be amended from time to time. Notification of any changes will be made by posting new terms onto the Website. In continuing to use the Website you confirm that you accept the then current terms and conditions in full at the time you use the Website.

(2) Registration

You can access many areas of the Website without registering or subscribing but if you wish to view certain content or access certain services, you may be required to register with the Website.

When you register with the Website we will ask you for certain personal information. Any personal information that you provide to use will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

If you register with the Website you will be required to create a password. In order to prevent fraud, you must keep this password confidential and must not disclose it or share it with anyone. If you know or suspect that someone else knows your password you should notify us by contacting [email protected] immediately.

If we have reason to believe that there is likely to be a breach of security or misuse of the Website through your account, that of your Team Members or the use of your password, we may require you to change your password or we may suspend your account. Until you have changed your password or we have reactivated your account you and your Team may not be able to access certain parts of the Website.

You agree that all personal information that you supply to us will be accurate, complete and kept up to date at all times. We may use the information provided to us to contact you in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

We reserve the right to suspend or cancel any registration (and any use of our Website) at any time and for any reason.

3) Personality Assessments

You will be able to use the Website to take personality assessments (the “Assessments”) and arrange for your team members to do so. The results of the Assessments are automatically analyzed. We may also record and use your answers and results for research and quality improvement purposes.

4) Purchase of Digital Content and Services

We offer digital content and subscription services (the “Products”) for purchase on the Website. They are provided as described there. We reserve the right to change the descriptions and Products offered from time to time.

Our Products are licensed, not sold, to you. They remain our property. The intellectual property rights (including copyright) in the Products remain with us and/or our authors/licensors as applicable. Our products may include digital rights management information and technology, which you agree not to tamper with or remove, and which is intended to deter or prevent misuse of our intellectual property.

At the time you place any order for which payment is required you must give authority for payment. We may take payment from you at any time between you placing the order and us providing the services or you requesting the download of digital content.

Your order is an offer to purchase from us. There will be no contract of any kind between you and us unless and until we actually take payment from you, at which point we will e-mail you with confirmation of the contract and acceptance of your order. At any point up until then, we may decline to supply the services or digital content to you without giving any reason.

The prices payable for the items that you order are clearly set out on the Website. If, by mistake, we have underpriced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price provided that we notify you before we dispatch or make available the item concerned.

Payments are made through the Website electronically. When you pay by credit or debit card you consent to us carrying out certain checks which include obtaining authorization from your card issuer to ensure you have adequate funds and for security reasons. This may involve validating your name, address and other personal information with your bank or credit reference agencies if necessary.

For our subscription-based services, payments are due for any month or year on the same or closest date to the day you made your first payment. Your subscription will renew automatically. You can turn off auto-renewal at any point.

All prices shown are in U.S. dollars ($USD), unless specified otherwise, and include VAT, where applicable.

5) Cancellations and Refunds

You can cancel the renewal of your premium subscription at any time. Your account will retain premium access until the end of that billing period.

We do not offer refunds or credits for partial months of service, or refunds for months unused with an open account.

You do have a right to cancel a contract with us for digital content within 14 days without giving any reason, provided that you have not downloaded or otherwise accessed any of our assessments or workshops. The day of the formation of the contract will be the day that you create the Team in question on our website.

To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us, MindTrackers Limited, e-mail [email protected], of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement.

To meet the cancellation deadline it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

18) Delay in Enforcing this Contract

Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

19) Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law, and any disputes relating to these Terms of Use will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
