The terms and conditions set forth below ("Terms") govern your use of this site on the worldwide web. These Terms are a legal contract between you and HeyCarson ("we", "us", "our", or "HeyCarson") and govern your access to, and use of, HeyCarson's website located at the URL:https://www.heycarson.com as well as all associated sites linked to https://www.heycarson.com by HeyCarson, its subsidiaries, and its affiliated companies, together with the services available through this site ("Site"). If you do not agree with any of these Terms, do not access or otherwise use this Site, any services available through this Site or any information contained on this Site. By creating an account with us or by using and visiting our Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and you indicate your continued acceptance of these Terms.
HeyCarson offers services for customizing websites. We connect website and business owners ("Users") who need to update their existing websites or other coding services, with web developers ("Developers") who are able to make these updates for Users through our internal dashboard ("HeyCarson Dashboard") located at the URL https://dashboard.heycarson.com/ ("Services").
Users who have a registered account with us can submit a request for website updates ("Project") through the HeyCarson Dashboard and we will assign a Developer to work on your Project. A Project estimation will be provided in the form of a number of tasks, where each task shall take no longer than 1 hour in length and which will be scoped at HeyCarson's discretion. By submitting a Project, you agree and acknowledge that you have the authority to authorize HeyCarson and/or the assigned Developers to access your website in order to perform our Services.
Unless otherwise explicitly stated herein, Users agree that any Project submitted to HeyCarson is provided on a non-proprietary and non-confidential basis. Unless the User marks a Project as private, the Project will be treated as public and certain details about that Project, including but not limited to a description of the work, the cost of the work, the URL for your website and your company name, will be published on the Site, making it viewable by visitors of the Site and searchable in search engines. For an additional fee, a User may designate a Project as private, to which HeyCarson will require the assigned Developer to treat the non-public information it receives in relation to the Project as confidential and disclosure shall be prohibited unless disclosure is otherwise required to complete the Project or is required by law.
As a condition for engaging our Services, you agree that:
HeyCarson reserves the right to reject any Project that it deems out of its scope, and this includes but is not limited to, issues with communicating the job.
If you wish to use our Services, you must register an account with us on our Site. To register an account, you must submit your email address and password as your login details. Users must ensure that their login details, in particular their password, are kept confidential and secure at all times to prevent any unauthorized use by third parties.
Users shall not use as a username the name of another person or entity or that is not lawfully available for use, a name or trademark that is subject to any rights of another person or entity other than with appropriate authorization, or a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene.
Users are responsible for all activities that occur using your password. Users are recommended not to share your password, let anyone else access your password or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your password. Users may change, correct or remove any information from your account by logging into your account directly and making the desired changes to your account profile or reaching out to us for assistance at [email protected]
If a User suspects or becomes aware of any unauthorized use of HeyCarson account and/or any other breach of security of their HeyCarson account, the User shall notify HeyCarson immediately without undue delay. If the User is responsible for the unauthorized use of his/her HeyCarson account (i.e. due to his/her own negligence), he/she shall be liable for all consequences of use by a third party.
To aid us in providing Users with a customized experience, Users may be asked to provide additional information during the registration process, such as a website URL and a brief on what work they want to be performed on their website. Once a User has submitted his or her account registration information, a HeyCarson administrator shall have, at its sole discretion, the right to approve or reject the requested registration.
By engaging our Services, Users agree to supply us with the appropriate login credentials for their website and to grant Developers temporary access to their website to complete their Project(s).
We will only share your login credentials with the assigned Developer(s). Developers are prohibited from sharing or publishing these log-in credentials and from using your log-in credentials for any purpose other than to complete your Project. After the Project is completed, Users are recommended to update their login credentials.
Notwithstanding the above, Users agree and acknowledge that they are, at all times, responsible for having adequate security in place on their website. HeyCarson will not be liable to any User for any loss or damage arising from User's failure to comply with the above requirements, including your failure to have in place adequate website security, or for any other User website vulnerabilities. If a User suspects or becomes aware of any breach of security of the User's website, the User shall notify HeyCarson immediately without undue delay.
All Users agree and acknowledge that they will maintain backups of their website theme, and that they will not alter the theme settings or code while their Project is active and in progress on the HeyCarson Dashboard.
HeyCarson makes an honest effort to duplicate and maintain backups within each store's themes panel, however, it is at the User's own risk to delete them. It is mandatory that HeyCarson backups are kept in order to remain eligible for any of our guaranteed fixes as referred to in Clause 9 herein. HeyCarson cannot and will not be liable for any loss of data to any User who fails to comply with this provision.
HeyCarson will provide Users an estimated delivery time for all Projects. However, HeyCarson does not guarantee to Users that the Project will be completed within the estimated time. Any estimates provided by us concerning the completion of a Project are provided as a courtesy and are not binding.
Certain Projects may be eligible to be submitted as "Express Projects", which will be charged an additional "Express Fee". Eligibility to submit a Project as an "Express Project" is at HeyCarson's sole discretion.
HeyCarson will provide an estimated delivery time for all Express Projects and will do its best to ensure that the delivery time is met. However, HeyCarson does not guarantee that an Express Project will be completed within the stated delivery time. If an Express Project is not completed within the stated delivery time, HeyCarson will refund to User the amount of the Express Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, the refund herein only applies to Express Fee.
HeyCarson provides content and its Services through the Site. Certain information, documents, products and services provided on and through this Site, including content, logos, graphics and images (collectively the "Site Materials") that are not Submissions (as defined below in Clause 12) are provided to you by HeyCarson and are the copyrighted and/or trademarked works of HeyCarson or its contributors.
HeyCarson grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-assignable license to use and to display and to make one copy of the Site Materials and to use the services and this Site. Except for the license set forth in Clause 6.1 above, you acknowledge and agree that you have no right to modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit any of the Site Materials in any manner.
This limited license terminates automatically, without notice to you, if you breach any of these Terms. Upon termination of these limited licenses, you agree to immediately destroy any downloaded or printed Site Materials. Except as stated herein, you acknowledge that you have no right, title or interest in or to this Site or any Site Materials.
Once a User submits a Project request, HeyCarson will provide the User with a fee quote based on the estimated number of hours required to complete the requested Project. By accepting the fee quote, you agree to HeyCarson charging you accordingly for its Services, including any taxes, and for HeyCarson to assign your Project to one or more Developers for completion.
While HeyCarson endeavors to provide accurate fee quotes at the outset of a Project, additional information or requests regarding the scope of the Project may necessitate and result in us splitting the Project into two and more Projects, which may increase the estimated price. If so, HeyCarson will, as soon as reasonably possible, inform Users of any increases to the fee quote, and if the User declines to pay for the increased cost, HeyCarson, in its discretion, may:
If there is a failure by the User to pay on time, or if HeyCarson is unable to charge the User's credit card, PayPal or other payment method, HeyCarson has the right to reject the User's Project, suspend or terminate the Services, and restrict the User's access to the Site and account. You are expressly agreeing that HeyCarson is permitted to bill you for the applicable fees, any applicable tax and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of this Site and the fees will be billed to your credit card, PayPal or other payment method designated on your initial registration with this Site, and thereafter at regular intervals for the remainder of the term of these Terms. If the User has a balance due on any account, HeyCarson will be entitled charge such unpaid fees to your credit card or otherwise bill you for such unpaid fees.
Depending on how you've engaged our Services, namely, whether by way of (i) Per Project payment, (ii) PRO Support pack, (iii) PLUS Support pack, or (iv) one of our superseded plans, the following refund options may be available to the User:
All projects are subject to 30-day money back guarantee.
HeyCarson offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Users who are not satisfied with the outcome of a Project ("Outcome") may notify HeyCarson at [email protected], within the timeframe set forth below:
If a User notifies HeyCarson that it is not satisfied with the Outcome, in accordance with the timeframe set forth above, HeyCarson may, at its own discretion, either reopen the Project and rectify the situation or issue the User a refund in accordance with the refund policy set forth in Clause 8.1. However, HeyCarson will not provide the User any refund of the Project fee if the User has failed to notify HeyCarson at [email protected]or the live chat on the Site that they are not satisfied with the Outcome within the thirty (30) day period under Clause 8.2(ii).
Once you have notified us that you are not satisfied with the Outcome, and we have chosen to rectify the Project, we will take steps to address your complaints about the Outcome, including by asking the Developer who completed the work, or in our discretion, a different Developer, to address your complaints regarding the Outcome. However, if after our attempts to address your complaints, you are still not satisfied with the Outcome, HeyCarson will issue you a full refund, and may, at its discretion, reverse or rollback, the work conducted pursuant to the Project and restore your website to its original condition before the Project was initiated.
