Effective as of October 18, 2017

Welcome to Heavy Equipments!

Heavy Equipments is a cloud-based contents platform. Since our products are cloud based, you can access them through the web and through any number of device types (e.g., desktop, laptop, tablets, and smartphone devices) that you choose.

This document, the Heavy Equipments Terms of Service (“Terms”), outlines the terms regarding your use of our services. These Terms are a legally binding contract between you and Heavy Equipments so please read carefully. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not register or use any of the Services.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising to Heavy Equipments that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms (in which event, “you” and “your” will refer to that organization) unless that organization has a separate paid contract in effect with us, in which event the terms of that contract will govern your use of the Services.

Please be aware, however, that if the domain of the email address associated with your account is owned or controlled by an organization (such as your work or school) and that organization establishes a direct relationship with us and wishes to add your account to such relationship, then you may be rolled into that organization’s account after notification. Following that notice, if you choose not to change the email address associated with your account, your account will be controlled by the organization.

The same goes for information that we tell you that falls into any of these categories.

Lastly, we both agree that: (i) we will treat each other’s information with the same degree of care that we treat our own confidential information; (ii) will use each other’s confidential information only in connection with these Terms and the Services; (iii) only share the information with others who have a need to know and who have agreed in writing to treat it as confidential (as we’ve outlined in this section); and (iv) not share the information with any third party except as allowed in these Terms or through the Services.
