About HR Community Academy

HR Community Academy (as described and identified at the foot of this Agreement) is an innovative service aimed at providing a networking platform for all those working in the Human Resource management sector within medium and large-sized businesses, acting as a real, unique and exclusive collaboration tool. This offers the opportunity to start professional collaborations, exchange ideas, conduct benchmarking activities, seeking and/or providing professional advice, sharing corporate practices, updating one’s professional training skills and much more. By mere way of example, HR Community Academy may provide, through the virtual platform www.HR Community Academy, functions and services for the management of: contacts, Q&A, repositories, geolocation maps on contacts and companies, agenda and task manager, focus groups on HR culture, and any other service developed thereafter (the “Services”).

Who can subscribe to HR Community Academy

Subscription requests to HR Community Academy and the related Services may only be submitted by HR managers operating within medium and large-sized businesses who do not pursue directly, with their professions, purposes of a commercial nature. Subscription to HR Community Academy will therefore be aimed solely at pursuing training, benchmarking and professional exchange purposes in relation to one’s profession. Subscription requests are evaluated and approved or rejected at the final discretion of HR Community Academy, in its capacity as holder of all rights both in relation to the Services and software and intellectual property. Professionals and managers from Partner firms intending to explicitly or implicitly pursue development purposes and interests of a commercial nature (including also the professional purposes of freelance professionals) may, on the contrary, submit a subscription request to HR Community Academy by duly completing the necessary profiling procedure. Such request will be evaluated by the HR Community Academy Staff, who in the event of subscription confirmation or denial will respectively inform the Partner. The services available, in this case, will be present exclusively in the HR Community Academy area dedicated to discussion Business Groups, all other areas being excluded. It is specified that the services of the “Groups” area dedicated to professionals, managers and companies belonging to Partner firms may explicitly pursue and engage in purposes other than those dedicated to User HR managers. The said subscription requests are also evaluated and approved/rejected at the final discretion of HR Community Academy and are stipulated through a different and separate agreement of a commercial nature with HR Community Academy which may, if necessary, include costs and financial commitments adjusted according to varying degrees of progression. Any improper attempted intrusion into HR Community Academy Services, for purposes other than those expressly set out in this Agreement, may be subject to prosecution pursuant to the legal regulations currently in force and will result in the immediate deactivation of any activated login account.

HR Community Academy is a safe work tool

From a technological point of view, HR Community Academy uses server infrastructures aimed at ensuring the security of all data and of all transactions and activities on the WEB. HR Community Academy works on a daily basis to keep such a level of security and reliability constant and safe from viruses and any sort of unauthorised technological and individual interference not in line with the requirements imposed by HR Community Academy. Any form of illegality found in the content or in the transactions enabled by HR Community Academy Services will be immediately isolated and reported to the competent authorities.

1. How to register with HR Community Academy

The user (the ‘”User”) who signs up and registers a profile through his/her account acknowledges that he/she is activating a legally binding agreement, where so approved, with HR Community Academy, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of HR Community Academy Privacy Policy, to be understood, for all intents and purposes, as an integral part of this Agreement. The User acknowledges that the terms and conditions referred to in this Agreement may be subject to changes, including without the User’s consent, which will be made available and notified from time to time through access to HR Community Academy Services. In order to register with HR Community Academy it is mandatory to comply with all the laws applicable to one’s Country and to accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Users will confirm their acceptance by registering a profile within the portal and providing their electronic signature to the terms and conditions for use referred to in this Agreement and the Privacy Policy which forms an integral part of the same Agreement. In any event, HR Community Academy reserves the right to subject the signature of the same Agreement to the prior verification of the User’s formal requirements: in particular, in such cases, the Agreement will be subject to the condition precedent of the User’s receipt of a notice of activation of the login account, containing the instructions, username and provisional password, with which HR Community Academy, after having verified the formal requirements declared by the User, will confirm acceptance of the registration. Under no circumstances will HR Community Academy proceed with the substantial verification of the User’s requirements, the accuracy and truthfulness of which will remain under the User’s sole responsibility. All profiled Users have the right to withdraw from HR Community Academy Services at any time and request the immediate cancellation of the personal and corporate details present in their profile. In order to be able to use all HR Community Academy Services, it is necessary to register a personal login account which must mandatorily include, only in the initial stage, one’s corporate e-mail address and password, which can subsequently be changed at any time by the User, but only after the activation of his/her account. The first-time access to HR Community Academy enables the User to declare, under his/her own responsibility, the elements comprising the personal data description and the corporate membership of his/her profile. Any false or mendacious declaration will be subject to prosecution pursuant to the terms of the law and will result in the immediate deactivation of the account. The use of HR Community Academy for the purposes of professional interest managed on behalf of one’s company does not exclude the personal liability relating to any conduct and declarations that may be submitted through the use of HR Community Academy and defined through this User licence agreement. Those who do not wish to become a HR Community Academy user, and thus fully comply with the provisions and guidelines of this Agreement, must not accept and must not fulfil/complete their request for subscription to HR Community Academy. Accordingly, they will not be entitled to access and use in any shape or form, whether direct and/or indirect, the opportunities made available by HR Community Academy Services and channels. Otherwise, by requesting the completion of their profile and its activation, Users declare to have acknowledged and understood the nature of the restrictions they are subject to under the provisions set out in this Agreement.

2. The User’s requirements

HR Community Academy grants its user licence solely to HR managers operating within medium and large-sized businesses who do not pursue, directly through their profession, purposes of a commercial nature and pursue the exclusive interest of engaging in professional training, exchange and sharing activities related to their profession as specified in the Preamble.

Furthermore, they must not have more than one access to HR Community Academy Services nor transfer their login credentials – defined as being of a strictly personal nature – to any third parties. In addition, they must accept to independently equip themselves with the hardware and software tools capable of taking full or partial advantage of the Services provided by HR Community Academy (web cam, Internet connection, microphone, etc.) as supplied.

The information and data (the “Content”) provided by the User through the use of HR Community Academy and HR Community Academy Services must be truthful, not confidential and must not breach any contractual or legal obligations incumbent on the User or any Third parties. The User grants to HR Community Academy a non-exclusive, irrevocable right, without time limitations and/or restrictions of a geographical nature in relation to the information, content and materials provided. Likewise, the aforesaid right must be deemed, for all intents and purposes, to be capable of being transferred and used by HR Community Academy including for any purposes that may not be directly linked to the purposes of the current and future Services, without however being for this reason eligible for any compensation and/or economic advancement for the User or any Third parties involved by the User.

It remains understood that Users, with the signature of this Agreement and the subsequent subscription to the Services made available by HR Community Academy, may, depending on the Service and for the enjoyment of the same, be required to include, under their own responsibility, their own personal details and Content, if any, including where shared with other Users.

Users may deactivate their account at any time, both on account of personal or professional reasons, such as, for example, in the event of circumstances that make the use of the Service no longer capable of ensuring the security levels required by the same Service as specified in paragraph 6 of this Agreement. Likewise, Users may not transfer or delegate or waive any of the rights or obligations arising from the Agreement. HR Community Academy may freely transfer or delegate all the rights and obligations by virtue of the Agreement, wholly or partially.
