PAYMENTS AND FEES

Payments

To pay any fee, you must designate and provide information about your preferred payment method (e.g., credit card, online payment service, or any other payment method made available by ScribeConnect) (the “Payment Method”). If you provide your payment information, you authorize us and certain third-party service providers, payment card networks, and payment processors to receive, store, and encrypt your payment information. You may switch to a different Payment Method or update your information by e-mailing billing@scribeconnect.com.  No refunds or credits will be provided by ScribeConnect, other than as set forth in these Terms. If your payment provider determines that there are fraudulent charges on your account resulting from use of your Payment Method at the Services, please contact us immediately at billing@scribeconnect.com.

Payment processing services for Users on ScribeConnect are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these terms or continuing to operate as a User on ScribeConnect, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of ScribeConnect enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide ScribeConnect accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize ScribeConnect to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

Fees

In order to access certain functionality of the Site, in particular with regard to the ScribeConnect Business Plans offered for subscription, you may be required to pay subscription fees as stated on the Site at https://www.scribeconnect.com/healthcare-organizations/pricing/. Subscription fees, along with any required taxes, are payable on a yearly basis. All yearly subscription fees are payable in advance. You agree to pay all subscription fees, and other charges you incur in connection with your ScribeConnect account.  ScribeConnect reserves the right to increase subscription fees, any associated taxes, or to institute new fees at any time upon reasonable advance notice.

Subscription fees will be billed automatically at the start of your subscription plan and will auto-renew on a yearly basis until your subscription is terminated. You may cancel your subscription at any time, as described below. See “Cancellations and Refunds” below.

SUBSCRIPTION PLANS AND LICENSE

ScribeConnect offers 3 paid Business Plans (Business Basic, Business Premium, and Business Enterprise) which include an annual fee (full explanation of paid Business Plans, features and fees are located at https://www.scribeconnect.com/healthcare-organizations/pricing/).  ScribeConnect also offers a free Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and job board through its Business Starter plan.  Users of the Business Starter plan will be unable to add users or additional features. The Business Starter plan is for posting jobs, accepting applications, and tracking applicants only. 

One (1) user license is included with the purchase of a paid Business Plan. Businesses may choose to add additional users to their plan by purchasing additional user licenses.  Each additional user license is billed annually.  The billing date for each additional user is based upon when the account was created, so user license fees are prorated if purchased at a later date. 

CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

If you signed up on ScribeConnect, you may cancel your subscription by navigating to “Manage Account>Billing>Cancel” or by emailing billing@scribeconnect.com.  The cancellation of a subscription will go into effect at the end of your current yearly billing cycle.  You can reinstate your subscription at any time without opening a new account. Reinstated accounts will be billed at the billable rate that is in effect for the selected plan at the time of reinstatement.

Cancelling Your Paid Business Plan Subscription

No refunds will be offered after the seventh (7th) calendar day following the start of your Business Plan subscription.  If you cancel your plan after the seventh (7th) calendar day following the start of your annual subscription, no refund will be given and you will maintain the same level of access to your account until the end of your annual subscription period.

User License Refunds and Transferability

No refunds are offered on additional purchased user licenses. Any user license may be reassigned to another user if: (1) User has not completed more than 10% of any course; AND (2) User license was not purchased more than seven (7) calendar days prior to request. The user license term length remains in effect from date of purchase. 

Subaccounts

No refunds are offered on subaccounts.  Business Enterprise clients may create subaccounts and may choose which Business Plan that subaccount is on. [All billable subaccounts receive a 10% annual discount. All user licenses on subaccounts are billed at $1200.00 per user per year.] Subaccounts may be created at any time and will therefore have their own annual billing period that begins on the date the subaccount was created. Accordingly, the annual billing period start date for a subaccount may be different from the annual billing period start date of the parent account.  Cancellation of any subaccount will be handled in the same way as explained above under “Cancelling Your Business Plan Subscription”.

Personal Membership Accounts and Refunds

Individuals on a free Membership account may purchase courses.  An individual user may request a refund of their purchased course if they have not yet completed 10% or more of that course.

All refund requests must be made via email to: billing@scribeconnect.com

ScribeConnect makes no representation that materials in this site are appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you access this site from another location, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent they are applicable. By accessing this site, you and ScribeConnect both agree the laws of the State of California, County of Riverside will govern all matters relating to this site, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Dispute Resolution.  ScribeConnect wants to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case.  Before filing a claim against ScribeConnect, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting legal@ScribeConnect.com.  Similarly, ScribeConnect will undertake reasonable efforts to contact you (if we have contact information for you) to resolve any claim we may possess informally before taking any formal action. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the email noting the dispute is sent, you or ScribeConnect may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below.

By agreeing to these Terms, you and ScribeConnect each and both agree to resolve any disputes through final and binding arbitration as discussed herein, unless you agree to opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate as set forth below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate.  You may decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting legal@ScribeConnect.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.  By opting out of the agreement to arbitrate, you will not be precluded from using the Services, but you and ScribeConnect will not be permitted to invoke the mutual agreement to arbitrate to resolve disputes under the terms otherwise provided herein.

You and ScribeConnect agree that the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes in effect at the time arbitration is sought.  Those rules are available at www.adr.org.  Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules.  You and ScribeConnect further agree that the arbitration will be held in Riverside County, California, or, at your election, will be conducted telephonically or via other remote electronic means.  The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.

If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. This is the entire agreement between the parties relating to the matters contained herein and shall not be modified, except in writing.

MISCELLANEOUS

If any part of these terms and conditions are determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect. A printed version of these terms and conditions and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these terms and conditions to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.

ScribeConnect may assign this contract, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you. You may not assign this contract, or any part of it, to any other party. Any attempt by you to do so is void. The failure of ScribeConnect to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the terms and conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
