Terms of Service
These are the Official Terms of Service of Triple-7 Business Group, a Maryland Limited Liability Company (the "Company", or "We"). This statement pertains to all of the Company's products, brands and divisions, and any future division or brand, unless a separate Terms of Service is published, on a specific web site that we own or operate, that says something different than this one does.
Your use of our site tells us you have read and agreed to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Statement, above. Please read both of these documents carefully. If you do not agree with any of these terms, please exit this site. The company reserves the right to terminate your Affiliate relationship and deny access to the site to any person who violates this Terms of Service.
OK, that's all the legalese you're going to find on this page. I don't know about you, but I fall asleep reading Terms of Service agreements just like I do reading Privacy Statements. They're both too full of "Aforementioned" and "To As", and "Parties of the First Part" to suit me.
You may have gone to Harvard Law School, but around here we're just a bunch of marketing and techno-geeks. So, without further ado, here is our no-nonsense, straight-up, no loophole Terms of Service agreement. Click here to see our equally straight-up Privacy Statement because it is actually part of the Terms of Service.
Definition of Terms
We, We're: This means us, also known as the Company, as described right at the tippy top of this page.
You: That means the human being, or artificial intelligence robot, that is currently reading this page. If you do not understand the term "you," then the human being, or artificial intelligence robot that is reading this page should close this page right now because the rest of the document will definitely be over your head.
Site or Web Site: That's the entire collection of stuff that we own and operate on the Internet. You can see the entire collection of stuff by visiting HomeBusinessTaxSavings.com. But, more specifically, it is this particular collection of stuff that resides at the domain that you are currently viewing.
OK, let's get started.
Disclaimer of Everything
We're Not Responsible for Diddly! In fact, my ex-wife says that I'm just plain not responsible. But that was printed in another legal document and doesn't have anything to do with this one. You understand and agree that we provide our products and services "AS-IS" and that we assume no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store or respond to any user communications or personalization settings. In addition, here is a list of a lot of other things that we aren't responsible for:
Site Access
We do our best to keep our web sites up and running 24/7. Even so, sometimes gremlins, demons, bugs, and bad karma prevail and the site just goes away. When that happens, it can take some time, sometimes a lot of time, to figure out where it went and to negotiate the terms for it to come back home where it belongs. During that time period you may not be able to access the site. As far back as we can remember, our down time has been almost nill. We reserve the right to prorate a refund to you, for subscription-based services only, if we think that the down time is excessive. But we get to define the term "excessive" and our definition may not agree with yours, but ours is the only one that counts.
Bad things that happen to you
We can't think of anything bad that could happen to you by using our sites but, hey, lawyers are great at blaming other people for everything that happens. So, just to set the record straight, if using one of our sites directly, or indirectly, causes you to lose money, or your health, or your life, or your reputation, or anticipated profits, or partial use of your left eye, or anything else that even remotely translates into you wanting us to pay you for bad things that happen to you, don't bother contacting us because you agree that we aren't responsible. This includes the tax guys prying into your tax affairs for how you use some info we sell you about taxes. Suppose that some Court or arbitrator disagrees with all of this and says that we are responsible even though we say we aren't. Well, in that case, you agree that our maximum liability will be limited to the amount that you paid us for your product or service and not one penny more! This means that we aren't going to pay for your lawyer, or court costs either.
Errors or omissions
Sometimes a product or service may not be available at the time or the price as it appears in an advertisement. In such event, or in the event a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error, technology effort, error in the date or length of publication, or error in pricing or product information received from our advertisers or suppliers, you agree that we are not responsible for such errors or discrepancies and that we have no obligation to give you what the error said we would or at the price that the error said we would, although we can if we feel like it. Even though we may feel like giving it to one person, that doesn't mean that we have to feel like giving it to everyone.
Other Stuff
There are other things that we're not responsible for either. We tell you about them in the remaining sections of this document so be sure to read everything if you want to know what they are. Reading everything is a good idea anyway because, by using our sites, you are agreeing that you read everything and that it was all OK with you.
Copyright Notice
Everything that appears on our web site is protected under International Copyright Law, including content, services, software, graphics, as well as anything transmitted through, or used with any of our sites. It's all owned by us and you can't use it for anything, unless you ask us first and we respond, in writing, and tell you that it's OK. This also means that if you buy any product or service that tells you "How to," such as "How to Reduce Your Taxes," you can't share that information with anyone else who hasn't already paid us for that information themselves. This includes those eBooks you buy from us and download to your computer. You can't print them out or burn them onto a CD to give way or re-sell, and you can't forward a copy electronically either. If you do, we'll definitely tell the Copyright Police and ask them to have a chat with you.
Membership and Registration
If you become an Affiliate, you are responsible for anything that anyone does under your account, with your unique Affiliate URL, or using your password. Also, you agree not to sell, loan, rent, barter, trade, or do anything else that enables someone else to use your Affiliate membership or any information and/or rights that you received as a result of your Affiliate Membership. We can kick you off of our sites, without refunding even a single penny, if anyone other than you accesses your Affiliate membership. If you believe someone has used your ID or password to access the site, then you agree to tell us as soon as you discover the violation.
Transactions and e-commerce on our site
During your visit to our site you may decide to buy something that we are offering. This is a good idea and is really the point of why we operate this web site anyway. In order to make sure that you get the product or service that you want, and that we get paid, our credit card transactions and order fulfillment are often handled by a third party processing agent, bank or distribution companies that we do not own or control in any way. While in most cases transactions are completed without difficulty, there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet or off-line. We are not responsible for the success or security of transactions undertaken or processed by third parties even if those transactions originated on our site
International Users
Our site is controlled, operated and administered by Home Business Tax Savings Inc. from its offices within the United States. We have no idea if our products or services are permitted or legal anywhere else in the world. So, you are responsible for determining if you should access our sites, or use or products and services from where you live. If you shouldn't, then don't. You may not use, access our sites, or export our products or services, in violation of U.S. export laws and regulations. If you live somewhere where doing business with the United States is illegal, or where our laws say that doing business with you is illegal, then we don't want to do business with you and your invitation to use our sites is revoked. Sorry, but that's the way it has to be.
Miscellaneous Stuff
We reserve the right to change these Terms of Service at any time that we want to. We don't have to seek you out and let you know that we made changes. All we have to do is update these Terms of Service. Because we're really fair, your use of this site prior to the time this Terms of Service was changed will be governed according to the Terms of Service that applied at the time of your use. This means that if we decide you can't do some particular thing anymore, we won't yell at you for doing it before we changed the rules. But we will get right in your face AFTER we change the rules, so reread the rules now and then especially if you see a rather recent "Last Updated" date at the top of the page.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, discontinue or restrict the use of any portion of any of our sites, or the entire site, or sites, any time that we want to. If we decide to discontinue a subscription service then, obviously, we'll stop billing you for the subscription. If we cancel a subscription service completely, and it gets canceled before any you have received a complete cycle of service that you've already paid you for, then we will rebate the unused portion of the service to you. Now, this is assuming that we canceled the service for some reason other than Bankruptcy. If we cancel due to Bankruptcy, then some judge is going to decide who gets refunds and how much they get. We've been profitable so far, and we're kind of low-maintenance guys around here, so it isn't likely that we're going to file Bankruptcy ever. But, you know, stuff happens so we wrote this part to cover our butt.
A Few More Things
No lawyers were paid to write this, but we did toss 30 pieces of silver to one to read it over before we posted it and he says everything sounded right to him. He did suggest we add just one thing, so here it is:
These Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. You hereby agree that any cause of action you may have with respect to Home Business Tax Savings Inc. must be filed in a federal or state court located in Annapolis, Maryland, within two months of the time in which the events giving rise to such claim began, or you agree to waive such claim. You agree no such claim may be brought as a class action. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties as reflected in that provision, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Any failure of Home Business Tax Savings Inc. to enforce or exercise any provision of this Agreement or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. The section titles used in this Agreement are purely for convenience and carry with them no legal or contractual effect. In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason, you agree the following provisions will survive: the provisions regarding limitations on your use of Content, the license(s) you have granted to Home Business Tax Savings Inc. and all other provisions for which survival is equitable or appropriate.
In the case of a conflict between these terms and the terms of any electronic or machine readable statement or policy (for example, a P3P electronic privacy policy), these Terms of Service shall control. Similarly, in case of a conflict between these terms and our Privacy Statement, these Terms of Service control.
