Our Corporate Terms of Service can be found here.

Welcome, and thanks for using Allyenergy.com. When you use our products and services, you’re agreeing to our terms, so please take a few minutes to read over the Terms of Service and Member Agreement below. Note: You are entering into a legally binding agreement.

 

1.0 Overview

We are a business, jobs community and online learning platform for energy professionals.

 

1.1. Purpose

Our mission is to unite, connect, and bring together our members in energy to enable them to be more productive, educated and successful in their careers. Our services are designed to promote opportunity for our members by enabling other professionals to meet, exchange ideas, learn, and build a trusted network of professionals and find jobs.

 

1.2. Agreement

When you use our Services you are entering into a legal agreement and you agree to all of these terms.

You also agree to our Privacy Policy which covers how we collect, use, share, and store your personal information.

You agree that by clicking “Join Now” “Join ALLY”, “Apply”, “Apply Now” “Sign Up” or similar, registering, accessing or using our services (including accessing our websites and related mobile apps, developer platforms, premium services, or any content or information provided as part of these services, collectively, “Services”), you are entering into a legally binding agreement (even if you are using our Services on behalf of a company).

Your agreement is with ALLY Energy, Inc (each, “ALLY”, “us” or “we”).

This “Agreement” includes this Member Agreement and our Privacy Policy and other terms that will be displayed to you at the time you first use certain features as may be amended by ALLY Energy, in our sole discretion, from time to time. If you do not agree to this Agreement, do NOT click “Join Now” (or similar indications of acceptance) and do not access or otherwise use any of our Services.

Registered users of our Services are “Members” and unregistered users are “Visitors”. This Agreement applies to both.

 

2. Obligations

Your membership and acceptance of this Member Agreement will not conflict with any agreement, judgment, order or law to which you are subject.

You have the right to post, use, communicate and display the information and content you share to other Members and Visitors or provide to us.

 

2.2. Your Membership

We have the sole discretion to accept or reject your membership application and have the sole discretion and authority to cancel your membership for any reason, including, but not limited to, in the event you fail to comply with our community rules, applicable law or our standards of conduct or in the event the information you submitted to us in your application for membership becomes untrue.

You’ll keep your password a secret.

You will not share an account with anyone else and will follow our community rules and the law.

As between you and others, your account belongs to you. You agree to: (1) try to choose a strong and secure password; (2) keep your password secure and confidential; (3) not transfer any part of your account and (4) follow the law and the community rules below.

 

2.3 Payment

You’ll honor your payment obligations. Also, there may be fees and taxes that are added to our prices. We don’t guarantee refunds. However, unless you and we enter into a separate agreement, there is no payment penalty if you or we cancel your membership, except that you must pay us the fees and expenses incurred for the period prior to the date of termination of your membership.

When you purchase any of our paid Services (“Premium Services”), you agree to pay us the applicable fees plus all applicable taxes. Failure to pay these fees and any taxes may result in the termination of your subscription.

Also:

Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates).

You authorize us to continue billing your payment method (e.g. credit card) even after it has expired, to avoid interruptions in your service (e.g. subscriptions) and to facilitate easy payment for services.  If you received a trial subscription, your credit card will be charged upon the end of your trial period.

You must pay us for applicable fees and taxes unless you cancel the Premium Service, in which case you agree to still pay these fees through the end of the applicable subscription period.

Taxes are calculated based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase.

You can request your invoice through Customer Support at membership@allyenergy.com or log into your membership account to print one.

When you share information, others can see, copy and use that information.

Our Services, including Premium Services, allow messaging and sharing of information in many ways, such as your profile, physical location, links to news articles, blogs, polls, videos, events, and shared content from other sites. Information and content that you share or post may be seen by other Members or, if public, by Visitors. Where we have made settings available, we will honor the choices you make about who can see content or information, however this is up to you to maintain.

3. Rights and Limits

3.1. Your License with Ally Energy

You own all of the content, feedback, and personal information you provide to us, but you also grant us a non-exclusive license to use, display and communicate it in connection with the provision of our Services and Premium Services to our Members and/or Visitors.

We’ll honor the choices you make about who gets to see your information and content, however this is up to you to maintain. See Privacy Settings

We will get your consent if we want to give others the right to publish your posts beyond the Service. However, other Members and/or Visitors may access and share your content and information, consistent with your settings and degree of connection with them.

While we may edit and make formatting changes to your content (such as translating it, modifying the size, layout or file type or removing metadata), we will not modify the meaning of your expression

4. Disclaimer and Limit of Liability

4.1. No Warranty

This is our disclaimer of legal liability for the quality, safety, security or reliability of our Services.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER LAW, ALLY ENERGY (AND THOSE THAT ALLY ENERGY WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES) (A) DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS (E.G. WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY OR SECURITY OF DATA, AND NONINFRINGEMENT); (B) DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL FUNCTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR ERRORS, AND (C) PROVIDE THE SERVICE (INCLUDING CONTENT AND INFORMATION) ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OR ALL OF THESE DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

 

4.2. Exclusion of Liability

These are the limits of legal liability we may have to you.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW (AND UNLESS ALLY ENERGY HAS ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT THAT SUPERSEDES THIS AGREEMENT), ALLY ENERGY (AND THOSE THAT ALLY ENERGY WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, INFORMATION, OPPORTUNITIES, REPUTATION, PROFITS OR REVENUES, RELATED TO THE SERVICES (E.G. OFFENSIVE OR DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS, DOWN TIME OR LOSS, USE OR CHANGES TO YOUR INFORMATION OR CONTENT). IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF ALLY ENERGY (AND THOSE THAT ALLY ENERGY WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES) EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE FOR ALL CLAIMS, AN AMOUNT THAT IS THE LESSER OF (A) FIVE TIMES THE MOST RECENT MONTHLY OR YEARLY FEE THAT YOU PAID FOR A PREMIUM SERVICE, IF ANY, OR (B) US $1,000. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS PART OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND ALLY ENERGY AND SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS OF LIABILITY (E.G. WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, LAW) AND EVEN IF ALLY ENERGY HAS BEEN TOLD OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF THESE REMEDIES FAIL THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THESE LIMITS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

 

5. Termination

We can each end this Agreement anytime we want and for any reason with notice to the other. On termination, you lose the right to access or use the Services. The following shall survive termination:

• Our rights to use and disclose your feedback
• Members and/or Visitors’ rights to further re-share content and information you shared through the Service to the extent copied or re-shared prior to termination;
• Sections 4, 6 and 7 of this Agreement;
• Any amounts owed by either party prior to termination remain owed after termination.

 

6. Dispute Resolution

In the unlikely event we end up in a legal dispute, it will take place in Texas courts, applying Texas law. You agree that the laws of the State of Texas, U.S.A., excluding its conflict of laws rules, shall exclusively govern any dispute relating to this Agreement and/or the Services. We both agree that all of these claims can only be litigated in the federal or state courts of Harris County Texas, USA, and we each agree to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

 

7. General Terms

Here are some important details about how to read the Agreement.

If a court with authority over this Agreement finds any part of it not enforceable, you and we agree that the court should modify the terms to make that part enforceable while still achieving its intent. If the court cannot do that, you and we agree to ask the court to remove that unenforceable part and still enforce the rest of this Agreement. To the extent allowed by law, the English version of this Agreement is binding and other translations are for convenience only. This Agreement (including additional terms that may be provided by us when you engage with a feature of the Services) and our Privacy Policy are the only agreement between us regarding the Services and supersedes all prior agreements for the Services.

If we don’t act to enforce a breach of this Agreement, that does not mean that ALLY Energy has waived its right to enforce this Agreement. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement (or your membership or use of Services) to anyone without our consent. However, you agree that ALLY Energy may assign this Agreement to its affiliates or a party that buys it without your consent. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

We reserve the right to change the terms of this Agreement and will provide you notice if we do, and we agree that changes cannot be retroactive. If you don’t agree to these changes, you must stop using the Services.

You agree that the only way to provide us legal notice is at the addresses provided in Section 9.
