1. The ABContrast Website

The ABContrast.com website, ABContrast™ System, the field of study called AUTHENTOLOGY™ and the ABSOLUTE HARMONY© companion guidebook are provided by Next Level Services, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Company"). By creating an ABContrast account, you will be able to complete the ABContrast assessment ("Assessment") and access a generated results report ("Report"). Each ABContrast account may only be used by a single, named user. Subject to these Terms of Use, including (without limitation) payment of the applicable fee(s) detailed on the site, the Company shall grant you access to the content, features, and functionality made available on ABContrast.

2. Fees & Payment Terms

Some functions of the ABContrast system have been made available to you via the website at no cost. It’s our expressed intent for you to enjoy them and gain the knowledge and eagerness that will aid you along your path to personal development. We retain all rights to those materials, and we ask you enjoy them personally as our guest on our site. Should you love what you see, consider purchasing our premium content as it’s what pays our bills – thanks!

In order to engage in the premium content, complete the Assessment and access your Report, you must create an ABContrast account and pay the fees specified on the site. Payment of the fee(s) will grant you access to your report and any additional content, features, or functionality the Company may choose to make available in its sole discretion. Fees must be paid in advance via credit card and are not intended as refundable unless the Company chooses to do so.

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 Company) ("Taxes") imposed on your use of ABContrast. "Taxes" do not include any taxes that are imposed on or measured by the net income of the Company.

If any of your payments are disputed, retracted, revoked, or otherwise withdrawn, the Company may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend your access to ABContrast until such amounts are paid in full.

3. ABContrast Data & Privacy (see also: separate Privacy Policy)

In order to deliver the Assessment, Report, and site to you, the Company must collect personal information from you. The Company will use your personal information in accordance with the Company's Privacy Policy. In order to provide you with ongoing access to your Report and the site, the Company will store personal information associated with your ABContrast account for as long as your ABContrast account remains active or until such a time the Company deems, provided in adherence to this Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.

If your ABContrast account becomes inactive for over twelve (12) months OR at such a time that your access expires based on the plan you purchase OR if you are deemed non-compliant with the Terms of Use, the Company may terminate your ABContrast account and anonymize the personal information associated with your ABContrast account. If your ABContrast account is terminated or anonymized, then you will lose access to your ABContrast account and all associated data. Once your ABContrast account has been terminated or anonymized, you will be required to create a new account and pay the fees stated on the site if you want to generate a new Report.

At all times, including while your ABContrast account remains active or inactive and thereafter, the Company reserves the right to retain all data generated via ABContrast in non-personally identifiable format for the Company's research, product development, and other business purposes, also sharing this aggregate or anonymous information with any third parties that either operate this site or administer activities on the Company’s behalf.

Furthermore, this site may contain links to other websites. As such, the Company is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites or for the privacy policies and practices of other third parties or for any potential damages arising out of or in connection with the site to which it is linked. Your navigating to any unrelated site is at your own risk. The existence of a link between this site and any other website is not and should not be construed as an endorsement by the Company, and it is strictly prohibited to link other sites with this site without the Company’s prior written authorization.

**Note: you may acquire ABContrast™ system access through a login code or by means of another person, provider, manager or organization having purchased access for you. Depending on their status as a “Provider”, “Manager” or Parent Organization, they can pre-elect to receive your result WITH you or INSTEAD of you. In these events, the content of your results will be available to those who purchased or otherwise initiated your access and / or login code, as could be certain “comparison” reports. Your personal contact info will not be shared with them.

4. Downtime & Availability

The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to make ABContrast available at all times except for planned downtime and unavailability caused by circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, pandemics, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems, equipment malfunctions, power failures or Internet service provider failures.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, you have no expectation regarding the availability of ABContrast; the Company reserves the right to make ABContrast unavailable, either temporarily or permanently, by providing written notice via the site, and you agree that your payment of fees relating to your use of ABContrast is not contingent upon the delivery of any additional functionality or any additional support from the Company.
