By continuing to use our Services, You agree to abide by these Terms.
General Terms and Conditions
Inspira reserves the right to transfer these Terms and Our privacy policy at any time to the extent it does not affect Your rights under it. This includes scenarios such as a sale, merger, acquisition, change in operating control, reorganization, or transfer of Inspira’s assets. The User, however, does not have the right to transfer these Terms at any point except without our explicit written consent. This includes a sale, merger, acquisition, reorganization, change in operating control, or transfer of Your assets. The Terms listed in this document and our privacy policy together define the scope of the relationship between the User and Inspira. As such, they supersede any other agreement, written or oral, between the User and Inspira. If any clause or portion of these Terms is at odds with any local, national, or federal law, the law shall prevail, but these Terms shall be applicable to the greatest extent possible. Any exception, including a waiver of these Terms needs to be provided by a legally authorized officer or representative of Inspira.
Responsible Use of Our Services
By agreeing to work with Us, You receive access to Inspira’s Services. This does not mean We are licensing any part of our intellectual property, including, but not limited to our persona assessment documents, intake forms, logos, color scheme, branding elements, website look and feel, or trademarks to You. The rights provided to You under this Agreement are meant to allow You to use our Services for Your company’s use only.

It is up to the User to make sure:
Users might be temporarily or permanently be banned from using Inspira’s Services and/or face criminal prosecution and be liable for damages if We learn about irresponsible use of Our Services.
Non-transfer of Responsibilities
Even if User authorizes a representative to access Services on behalf of User, the User is solely responsible for complying with all Terms listed in this document. The User’s responsibilities cannot be transferred to another individual or organization under any situation. Abdicating responsibility for violation of these Terms, even if the actions that led to the violation were taken by a different individual or organization, might result in the User being denied access to Inspira’s Services or legal action against the User.
Prohibition of Sensitive Data Collection
Inspira’s Services cannot be used by Users to collect, analyze, or store any sensitive information under any circumstances. This includes information on an individual’s mental health, race, sexual orientation, political or religious affiliation.
Intellectual Property Rights and Ownerships
When working with Our Services, You get access to valuable intellectual property owned by Inspira. This access does not imply that Inspira is providing You a license for any of the Services or intellectual property. Your rights to access these Services are limited in scope to the uses outlined in this Agreement. Inspira’s intellectual property is protected by its rights in the United States and other countries where it operates through intellectual property laws. These laws prohibit Users from modifying, copying, or creating derivatives of our Services. You will not have the right to claim ownership, in part or whole, of any patents filed by Inspira now or in the future. When using Our Services for internal purposes, Users may not remove our logo, branding, copyright, or any other form of intellectual property that are embedded in any of our Services.
Reproducing any Services or related content and using them for commercial or non-commercial purposes without the explicit written consent of Inspira is also prohibited. Paying a fee and purchasing our Services allows Users to access Services solely for their personal use.
Content Created Through User Feedback or Engagement
Inspira’s ownership of Services and related content extends to any new or derivative Services or content created through feedback provided by Users or their engagement with Inspira. This gives Inspira the universal right to create derivative works or additional Services that can be sold worldwide in perpetuity. Users are not entitled to royalties, payments, or any other form of compensation for Services created by Inspira based on their engagement or feedback.
Inspira’s Trademarks
Users are prohibited from using Inspira’s trademarks, logos, layouts, or designs, regardless of whether they are registered. Explicit written permission is required from an authorized officer of Inspira to use, reproduce, copy, edit, modify, license, sub-license, or transfer any intellectual property that belongs to or is license by Inspira.
Purchasing Our Services
One-Time Purchase Fees
In order to use Inspira’s Services, a User must pay a fee (“Fee” or “Fees”). This Fee will allow them to use the Services on a one-time basis. If Users wish to use Inspira’s Services again, they must pay the Fee. The amount of the Fees will depend on the type and tier of Service the User signs up for and will be made clear during through collateral shared with the User before they sign a contract. This collateral can include flyers, brochures, web pages, or contracts. The User shall not be eligible under any conditions to receive refunds for a part of or the entire Fee in case of cancellation, dissatisfaction with, or lack of use of Service.
Inspira reserves the right to deny providing a part of or the entire Service in case the User does not pay the full Fee for the requested Service upfront.
Subscription Fee
Certain types of Users might be given the option to purchase Inspira’s Services on a subscription basis. In such cases, the Fee will allow the User access to Inspira’s Service for a predetermined period (“Term”). At the end of each Term, the User will automatically be charged the Fee for the subsequent Term. In order to avoid being charged, the User must cancel or modify their subscription before the start of the Term. Users can cancel their subscription by contacting contact@Inspirafutures.com. If a User cancels their Service, they will have access to it until the end of the Term. The User shall not be eligible under any conditions to receive refunds for a part of or the entire Term in case of cancellation, dissatisfaction with, or lack of use of Service. Any unpaid Fees, however, have to be paid by the User.
In both cases, if a User purchases a one-time or subscription Service from Inspira, it is the responsibility of the User to read the scope of services before signing up. If the User has any questions or concerns about the pricing or scope of services offered, they must contact Inspira at info@Inspirafutures.com before signing up.
Change in Fees or Scope of Service
Inspira reserves the right to change the Fee at its sole discretion. In case our Fee changes, Inspira will inform Users about all relevant specifics including the amount and timing of the change. These changes will be applicable to future payments. If a User is not willing to bear the change in Fees, they should cancel their subscription immediately or reach out to us at info@Inspirafutures.com.
Similarly, We hold the right to change the scope of Service in a specific tier of any of our Services. If there is a material change, Inspira will inform Users through email or through an update on our website.
Inspira as a Third Party Service Provider
In certain cases, Inspira might be hired by organizations to provide Our Services to their clients. An example could include a management consulting firm or investment bank hiring Inspira to provide Services for their employees. In such cases, Inspira acts as a third party service provider. Regardless of whether the payment is made by the organization hiring Inspira or the User, these Terms also apply to Users to whom we are providing the Services.
Payments Through Invoices
In certain cases, Users or an organization hiring Inspira to provide third party services might want to make a payment through an invoice. If this is the case, explicit written consent is required from Inspira. Please contact info@Inspirafutures.com if You wish to make a payment via an invoice. For payments made through invoices, Inspira will issue an invoice which specifies the amount to be paid, date of invoice, and the currency in which payment is to be made. Inspira will also decide the due date of the payment amount listed in the invoice. If payments are not made by the specified date, Inspira has a right to charge up to the maximum penalty allowed by law as interest.
Payment Information
In order to collect Fees from Users, Inspira requires them to provide personal or their organization’s financial information depending on how they wish to make the payment. This includes credit card information including, but not limited to, full name, credit card number, credit card type, credit card expiration date, and credit card CVV number. Inspira reserves the right to temporarily or permanently ban a User if any of their financial information is found to be incorrect or fraudulent. If required, Inspira may conduct additional background and identity verification checks by asking for more information from the User. By providing any personal or financial information, a User allows Inspira to use the information to process their Fee. Inspira might share the information with third party payment processing systems such as but not limited to Stripe or Braintree. The User also agrees to pay any additional taxes and fees that are levied by the payment processors.
Fees paid by Users to Inspira are non-refundable. A User is also prohibited from transferring these Fees to another User’s account. A confirmation of purchase will be sent to users once the Fee has been successfully processed.
Unpaid Services
In certain cases, we might offer unpaid or pro bono Services to Users. Under such circumstances, even though no payment has been made, Users are still expected to abide by the Terms listed in this document.
Inspira may end unpaid Services at any time at its discretion. Also, the full scope of Services might not be available to Users who are getting an unpaid or pro bono Service. It is up to Inspira to decide the scope of Services that will be provided.
Termination of Service Due to Missed Payment
Inspira has the right to terminate Services immediately if the User has not paid the Fees required to access Services. We might provide the User a grace period during which they can access our Services if we believe they are acting in good faith to make the payment in a specific time-period. However, providing this grace period and its duration are completely at Inspira’s discretion.
User Data Rights
“User data” is any data generated through any interaction with or use of our Services. This includes all engagements, paid or unpaid, one-time or on a subscription basis. All user data is the property of the User. However, by agreeing to work with Us, User grants Inspira worldwide unlimited rights to copy, modify, edit, reproduce, or distribute user data. We may utilize user data for a variety of purposes, not limited to, but including:
While we might use user data for a variety of different purposes, we will not publish any personally identifiable information (PII). We may however publish anonymized information. We may also conduct aggregate analyses and publish reports based on the usage of our Services. When we publish these analyses, we will make sure no PII is published. Users do not have the right to payments, royalties, or any other form of monetary or non-monetary compensation from any Services or content created using user data.
Upon termination of Service, User loses all right to their data stored in our systems. Unless required by law, We have the right to delete the data as soon as User ends their engagement with Inspira.

Disputes and Arbitration
Legislature
The Terms listed in this document will be governed by the laws of the state of California. The only exemption to this condition is when U.S. federal law preempts California state law.
Arbitration Agreement
By agreeing to these Terms, Users agree that any dispute arising between them and Inspira will be resolved informally or through a small claims court. Users and Inspira will make all attempts in good faith to try and resolve issues without any escalation, controversy, or dispute. However, if a matter cannot be resolved through these means, it will be resolved through binding arbitration. The only exception to this will be when Inspira or the User is seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court to resolve a dispute involving copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, logos, or intellectual property rights.
Notice of Arbitration and Opt-Out Clause
By agreeing to these Terms, You agree that You will not initiate or participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against Inspira. Any controversy, disagreement, or dispute that arises between You and any representative of Inspira will be resolved through individual arbitration and shall be binding and final. By agreeing to these Terms, You explicitly agree that You do not have the right to trial by jury or the ability to act as a plaintiff or member of a class action lawsuit against Inspira.
Rules of Arbitration
The arbitration will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). AAA will arbitrate in accordance with Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA rules”). For more information about these rules, please visit the AAA website (www.adr.com) or call AAA at 1-800-778-7879. A neutral arbitrator will arbitrate the matter, which will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Mechanics of Arbitration
The AAA’s rules will govern the mechanics of the arbitration process. A written notice must be provided to initiate it. The arbitration will solely focus on the matter being disputed and cannot be combined with anything else. It will be performed by a licensed practitioner who is a part of AAA’s list of approved arbitrators. The arbitrator will have the authority to arbitrate a part of or the entire dispute. Both parties involved in the dispute need to finalize who the arbitrator will be within seven days of delivery of the Demand of Arbitration (which needs to be submitted by the party initiating arbitration as per AAA guidelines). Failure to do will result in AAA appointing an arbitrator. The decision made by the arbitrator will be final and binding. The arbitrator will provide a written explanation of the decision, which will include details of the arbitration award and might include attorneys’ fees, cost of witnesses, and travel costs, all of which together constitute the cost of arbitration.
Location of Arbitration
If the arbitration claim is $10,000 or less, the proceeding will take place solely based on documents provided by both parties. Unless the arbitrator decides otherwise, neither party will be required to appear for an in-person meeting or telephonic hearing. If an in-person hearing is requested by the arbitrator, he or she will decide on a place for the hearing that is convenient to all parties involved. If the claim is greater than $10,000 the arbitrator will decide the most convenient path forward, which could include electronic exchange of information, a telephonic hearing, or an in-person hearing. Arbitration under this agreement shall be held in the United States in San Francisco, California under California law without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The decision around the most appropriate medium of information exchange shall always be governed by AAA rules and guidelines.
Arbitration Fees
The AAA rules define what Your portion of the AAA administrative fee and arbitration fee will be. The remaining amount will be paid by Inspira. However, if the arbitrator finds Your claims to be frivolous (as measured in the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), AAA rules will determine the fees that You need to pay.
Type of Sale and Applicable Regulatory Frameworks
The contract between You and Inspira is that of a sale of services and not goods. As such, regulatory frameworks such as The United Nations Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, Uniform Commercial Code or any legislation, which is materially similar to these does not apply to these Terms.
