Welcome to Human First Society (“Human First Society,” “HFS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of HumanFirstSociety.org (the “Website”), including the creation of an account, submission of a business verification application, participation in the Human First Society verification program, and purchase of any paid services or subscriptions offered through the Website.
By creating an account, submitting an application, purchasing a subscription, or otherwise using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website or our services.
Human First Society is an independently operated organization that provides an independent business verification process.
Human First Society is not a government agency, government program, government certification authority, or government-affiliated organization.
Verification by Human First Society represents an independent assessment based on the criteria and review process established by Human First Society.
Being verified by Human First Society does not constitute a government certification, legal accreditation, regulatory approval, or guarantee of a business’s quality, financial condition, employment practices, customer service, or other characteristics beyond the specific criteria evaluated through the Human First Society verification process.
To use the Website and submit a business verification application, you must:
We reserve the right to refuse or terminate access to the Website or verification process if we reasonably believe that an individual or business does not meet these requirements.
Certain Human First Society services require you to create an account before submitting a verification application.
You are responsible for:
You may not create an account using another person’s identity or information without authorization.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false information, are used abusively, or violate these Terms.
Businesses may submit an application through the Website to be considered for Human First Society verification.
Applicants agree that all information submitted during the application process will be accurate, complete, and not intentionally misleading.
We may request additional information or clarification when reasonably necessary to evaluate an application.
Submitting an application does not guarantee verification.
Human First Society reserves the right to approve, reject, defer, or request additional information regarding any application at its discretion and based on the applicable verification criteria.
Human First Society verification applications may be reviewed by authorized Human First Society reviewers.
Reviewers may evaluate information provided by the applicant and other information reasonably available to them for the purpose of determining whether the applicable verification requirements have been satisfied.
Verification decisions are made independently and may involve human judgment.
Human First Society does not guarantee that every application will receive the same outcome or that an application will be approved.
You are responsible for ensuring that all information provided to Human First Society is accurate and current.
You must not:
If we determine that information provided during the application process was materially inaccurate, misleading, fraudulent, or incomplete, we may reject the application or revoke an existing verification.
If a business satisfies the applicable verification requirements, Human First Society may grant the business verified status.
Verification remains subject to the business continuing to satisfy the applicable requirements.
Verification is not necessarily permanent.
Human First Society may periodically review verified businesses or investigate information that may reasonably affect their verification status.
We reserve the right to suspend or revoke verification if we determine that:
Where reasonably appropriate, we may provide the business with an opportunity to respond before a verification is revoked.
If Human First Society provides a verification badge, logo, mark, certificate, or other verification asset (“Verification Materials”) to a verified business, the business receives a limited, non-exclusive, revocable permission to use the Verification Materials while its verification remains active.
Verification Materials may only be used to accurately represent the business’s current verified status.
A business may not:
Human First Society may require a business to remove Verification Materials from its website, social media accounts, marketing materials, or other locations following suspension or revocation of verification.
The Website, Human First Society name, logos, branding, graphics, written content, designs, and other materials provided by Human First Society are owned by or licensed to Human First Society unless otherwise stated.
You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Human First Society materials without prior written permission, except where these Terms expressly permit such use.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Human First Society intellectual property to you.
Certain Human First Society services may require payment or a subscription.
The applicable price and subscription terms will be presented before you complete a purchase.
Payments are processed through PayPal.
By purchasing a subscription, you authorize the applicable payment provider to process payments according to the subscription terms presented at the time of purchase.
Subscription pricing and available services may be changed in the future. Changes will not retroactively alter payments that have already been properly processed unless required by applicable law.
If you purchase a recurring subscription, you may cancel the subscription according to the cancellation options provided through the applicable payment service.
Cancellation of a subscription generally prevents future recurring charges but does not necessarily provide a refund for amounts already paid.
Where applicable, access to paid features may continue until the end of the already-paid subscription period.
Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase or required by applicable law, payments for Human First Society services are non-refundable once the applicable service or review process has begun.
If a refund is expressly offered for a particular service, the terms applicable to that service will govern the refund.
Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection laws.
