The Site and all content on it, including the Communication IQ assessment, style framework, reports, text, graphics, logos, icons, and software, are owned by Communication IQ or its licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. "Communication IQ," the CIQ mark, and the seven communication style names and marks are trademarks of Communication IQ. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership right to you.

Information you submit through forms on the Site is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You represent that any information you submit is accurate and that you have the right to provide it. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use it without obligation or compensation.

Communication IQ assessments, profiles, and reports are designed to support development, coaching, and team effectiveness. They are not clinical instruments, and they are not intended to diagnose any condition or to be used as the sole basis for hiring, promotion, compensation, discipline, or termination decisions. Content on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, medical, psychological, employment, or other professional advice. You are responsible for ensuring your use of any assessment complies with applicable employment and non-discrimination laws.

The Site may link to or integrate third-party websites and services. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices, and a link does not imply endorsement.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms; the effective date above indicates the latest revision, and your continued use of the Site constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMMUNICATION IQ AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Communication IQ and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your use of the Site, your content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute will be the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises.

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Communication IQ regarding the Site, and do not supersede any signed services agreement between us.
