Your Transmissions, Submissions and Postings

If you transmit, submit, or post customer comments or any other information to the website, you automatically grant Gracone the royalty-free, non-exclusive right and license to use, copy, format, adapt, and publicly display such information in whole or in part worldwide, and/or to incorporate the same in other content and/or works in any form, and using any media or technology now known or developed in the future.

Notwithstanding Gracone’s rights under these terms and conditions in relation to user content, Gracone is not obligated to undertake monitoring of the submission of such content to, or the publication of such content on, the website.

A growing number of consumers rely on reviews and ratings provided by others in order to judge products they purchase. The website’s users are asked to review courses and webinars that they have completed, and these reviews and ratings are published on the website and made available to the general public. In order to provide fair and unbiased reviews of these products, Gracone has established the following guidelines.

  • Users will be given the ability to use a pseudonym or “handle” rather than their real name if preferred
  • The course or webinar should have been completed personally by the reviewer
  • All comments are reviewed by staff members prior to publication and all reviews, both positive and negative, are considered for publication. A negative review does not make a comment ineligible for publication. In fact, we believe that all comments, both positive and negative, are important in the consumers’ decision-making process, and we will make a good-faith effort to be certain that no review is unduly rejected due to negative comments or rating points
  • We will not publish comments that are inflammatory, discriminatory, contain personal attacks, or are not related to the value of the course material or our service
  • No comment with reference to a specific quiz question or answer will be published, but will be responded to privately by email
  • Reviews containing specific questions or comments about the course material may take longer to publish as we will attempt to review and, if necessary, correct the course material before publication
  • In some instances we may provide “webmaster comments” added to the review in order to provide clarification
  • We reserve the right to edit or delete any comment that we feel is inappropriate for any reason

Arbitration

YOU AND GRACONE AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Any dispute between you and Gracone, its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries, or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, “Gracone”) arising from or relating to these Terms of Use and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms of Use, including disputes about the validity, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration. Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60 days’ advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. Gracone will provide such notice by email to your e-mail address on file with Gracone and you must provide such notice by email to info@NoonPi.com.

During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any Covered Disputes. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. The arbitrator will conduct any arbitration proceedings at a location within Harris County, TX that is mutually agreed upon by you and Gracone. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under Texas law and any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction within the state of Texas. Arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms of Use and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. Gracone and you agree that any Covered Dispute hereunder will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Neither Gracone nor you are entitled to arbitrate any Covered Dispute as a class, representative, or private attorney action and the arbitrator(s) will have no authority to proceed on a class, representative, or private attorney general basis. If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found illegal or unenforceable, the remaining arbitration terms shall continue to be fully valid, binding, and enforceable (but in no case will there be a class, representative, or private attorney general arbitration). These Terms of Use and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA) and, where otherwise applicable, by the laws of the State of Texas.
