Themyersbriggs.com Terms of Use

By clicking ‘I Accept,’ or by creating an account on themyersbriggs.com, or by accessing or otherwise using the themyersbriggs.com website or its related sites (“Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) as of the first day you create your account or access the Site. If you are an employee at an organization or other business entity, then by creating an Account or by accessing or using the Site, you accept these Terms of Use on behalf of that entity and you represent and warrant that you have the necessary authority to do so.

1. The Site

By creating an Account, you may purchase assessment reports, support materials, and other materials (collectively, “Products”) in physical and electronic format. Accounts may only be used by a single, named, natural person (“User”).

Certain Products made available through the Site may require administration on a separate platform (for example, without limitation: our Elevate® assessment platform); in such cases, use of those Products may be governed by additional terms and conditions, as made available by us in writing on those platforms. You understand and agree that your use of such Products will at all times be governed by those additional terms and conditions.

2. Orders, Fees, & Payment Terms

Orders may be placed online using your Account or offline via mail or telephone using the information in the “Contact Us” section of the Site.

Rates for all Products are as listed on the Site. Fees for Products must be paid upfront by credit card unless you have a separate, written agreement with us allowing for another arrangement. If you are set up to order Products via purchase order (through contact with your sales representative), then all payments shall be made payable to The Myers-Briggs Company in U.S. Dollars and payments are due thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Payments not received within thirty (30) days will be considered late and will bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is lower) on the unpaid balance from the payment due date until the date actually paid. If any charge owed is thirty (30) days or more overdue, we may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend your account and restrict your access to the Site until such amounts are paid in full, along with applicable late fees.

You are responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes, duties, fees, charges, surcharges, or other similar exactions, (whether such exactions are imposed directly upon you or upon The Myers-Briggs Company) (“Taxes”) imposed on transactions you make on the Site. “Taxes” do not include any taxes that are imposed on or measured by the net income of The Myers-Briggs Company. If you are tax-exempt, you may provide duly-executed documentation evidencing your tax-exempt status to us for our review and consideration. If we accept the documentation, we shall exempt you from Taxes on a going-forward basis, provided that you keep all tax exemption documentation accurate and current.

3. Data & Privacy

Your use of the Site requires the collection and processing of your personal information. Your personal information will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy, as updated from time to time and made available on the Site. The Myers-Briggs Company agrees to comply with applicable laws governing the use of, disclosure of, and access to such personal information. We will store data associated with your Account for as long as your Account remains active, and for such applicable additional periods set forth in our Privacy Policy. If your Account is terminated (or suspended), you will not have access to your Account until you renew your Account (or we decide to revoke the suspension). The Myers-Briggs Company reserves the right to delete your Account data without penalty at any time if your Account is suspended or no longer active. At all times, both while your account remains active and thereafter, we reserve the right to retain all data generated via the Site in non-personally identifiable format for our research, development, and other business purposes.

4. Your Responsibilities

The Myers-Briggs Company makes the Site available on a ‘one-user-per-account’ basis. You may not share your license or your username and password combination with anyone else. You shall use your best efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of your Account and shall notify us immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized access or use. You shall not sell, resell, rent, or lease your access to the Site. You shall not use the Site to store or transmit any infringing, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, or to store or transmit material in violation of third-party privacy or intellectual property rights. You shall not use the Site to store or transmit malicious code or software that will impair the functionality of the Site (or our other websites) or otherwise access the Site in a manner not specifically authorized by these Terms of Use. You shall not interfere with or disrupt the performance of the Site or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site. You shall not contract with parties other than The Myers-Briggs Company for the scoring of any instruments made available on the Site. You shall not use any personal information made available via the Site in an unlawful or unethical manner. You shall not copy, frame, or mirror any part of or any content made available on the Site. You shall not reverse-engineer the Site or any of the Products or assessments or other content made available on the Site. You shall not access the Site in order to build a competitive product or service or to copy any features, functions, scoring, or content of the Site. You shall not remove any copyright, patent, trademark, design right, trade secret, or any other proprietary rights notices from the Site or any Products. You shall not make use of any our trademarks in any domain names. You agree to follow at all times our Trademark Guidelines (as may be amended from time to time). You must provide your own computing device, Internet access, and other equipment necessary to access the Site and use the Products and you agree to bear all your own costs.

5. Restricted Instruments

Certain of our assessments are considered “Restricted Instruments” and have additional requirements relating to their purchase and administration. Only Users that have been certified by The Myers-Briggs Company (or one of The Myers-Briggs Company’s partner certification organizations) (collectively, “Certified Practitioners”) may purchase and administer Restricted Instruments. If you administer a Restricted Instrument, you acknowledge that you must, and agree that you will, provide real-time feedback and interpretation to each respondent who responds to that Restricted Instrument, which feedback may be delivered in person, over the phone, or through contemporaneous text or video chat (each, an “Interactive Interpretation Session”). Interactive Interpretation Sessions must be more comprehensive than simply providing or passing along a Respondent’s report and must allow the Respondent to ask questions and receive feedback in a non-automated format.

6. Support, Downtime, & Availability

If you need assistance with creating or using your Account or purchasing Products, we will provide you with limited, basic support (as determined by us in our sole discretion). Please contact us using the information located in the “Contact Us” section of the Site.

The Myers-Briggs Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Site available at all times except for planned downtime and unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation: acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems, equipment malfunctions, power failures, Internet service provider failures, and other technology failures. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, you have no expectation regarding the availability or functionality of the Site. You agree that your purchases are not contingent upon the delivery of any additional functionality or any additional support from us.

The Myers-Briggs Company reserves the right to take any of the Products out of print or otherwise make such Products unavailable at any time without notice to you. If you have pre-purchased any Products from us (for example, without limitation: a pre-purchased assessment administration) and those pre-purchased Products are taken out of print or otherwise made unavailable by us, then you may contact The Myers-Briggs Company using the information in the “Contact Us” section of the Site and we will notify you of your options with respect to those pre-purchased Products, which options may include (without limitation): converting pre-purchased Products to a substitute or replacement product of our choosing; or converting the value of those pre-purchased Products into credit for use on the Site within a defined period. If we provide such options to you and you do not exercise them before the deadline(s) specified by us, then you acknowledge that you will forfeit the value of any such pre-purchased Products.

7. Intellectual Property

Your use of the Site may involve use of our intellectual property, and your use of that intellectual property is subject to these Terms of Use. You acknowledge and agree that The Myers-Briggs Company is the sole and exclusive owner (or duly-licensed licensee of the owner, as the case may be) of all Products and works and other content on the Site, as well as the Site itself (and their accompanying intellectual property rights)(collectively, “Intellectual Property”). The Myers-Briggs Company reserves all rights, title, and interest in and to our Intellectual Property, and these Terms of Use do not transfer any rights to you.

If you purchase Products, you agree to limit your use of such Products to your personal, non-commercial use. Any products delivered electronically to third parties via the Site are licensed only for that third-party’s personal, non-commercial use. You agree not to infringe any of our intellectual property rights in any Products licensed to you under these Terms of Use. Your license to Products is limited to those you have duly purchased and in all circumstances is non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and effective only for the duration that your Account remains active and in good standing. Certain Products may be time-bound, and you understand and agree that your access to such Products will be limited to the time periods set forth on the Site; access periods may not be modified, postponed, or otherwise adjusted after purchase. You may not alter or modify any Products, or reproduce Products in quantities beyond those specifically licensed to you. You may not distribute Products in any manner not specifically anticipated by these Terms of Use and otherwise authorized by us. You may not rent, lease, resell, redistribute for profit, or otherwise commercially exploit any Products, all of which will be determined by us in our sole discretion. If you breach these Terms of Use, any license you may have to Products is automatically and immediately revoked and terminated as of the time of your breach.

8. Term & Termination

Your use of the Site is governed by these Terms of Use from the moment you register your Account and remain in effect (as updated from time to time by us) for as long as your Account remains active and in good standing.

You may request that we delete your Account at any time by contacting our Customer Support Department at the info provided in the “Contact Us” section. Our Privacy Policy provides additional information about how your personal information will be handled if you delete your Account.

You agree to defend and indemnify The Myers-Briggs Company, its officers, directors, employees, and assigns against any claims, damages, losses, costs, or liabilities of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with any actual or alleged breach of these Terms of Use, or in connection with any third-party suits or claims alleging matters which, if true, would constitute a breach of these Terms of Use.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MYERS-BRIGGS COMPANY'S LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED IN AGGREGATE THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE OR, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SINGLE INCIDENT, THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MYERS-BRIGGS COMPANY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE MYERS-BRIGGS COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT IT IS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS.” THE MYERS-BRIGGS COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY REGARDING THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION THAT THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

Notices to us shall be in writing and addressed to the attention of its General Counsel. All notices to you shall be addressed to the most recent contact information associated with your Account.
