  You’re eligible to enter into this Contract and you are at least our “Minimum Age.” The Services are not for use by anyone under the age of 18.
  
  To use the Services, you agree that: (1) you must be the "Minimum Age"(described below) or older; (2) you will only have one TRAVELADVANCES.COM dba Tommy Talk account, which must be in your real name; and (3) you are not already restricted by TRAVELADVANCES.COM dba Tommy Talk from using the Services.

  Members are account holders. You agree to (1) use a strong password and keep it confidential; (2) not transfer any part of your account (e.g., connections) and (3) follow the law and our list of Dos and Don’ts and Professional Community Policies. You are responsible for anything that happens through your account unless you close it or report misuse.
  
  As between you and others (including your employer), your account belongs to you. However, if the Services were purchased by another party for you to use (e.g. Recruiter seat bought by your employer), the party paying for such Service has the right to control access to and get reports on your use of such paid Service; however, they do not have rights to your personal account
3. Payment
  
  You’ll honor your payment obligations, and you are okay with us storing your payment information. You understand that there may be fees and taxes that are added to our prices.
  
  Refunds are subject to our policy.
  
  If you buy any of our paid Services (“Premium Services”), you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes and to additional
  
  terms specific to the paid Services. Failure to pay these fees will result in the termination of your paid Services. Also, you agree that:
  - Your purchase may be subject to foreign exchange fees or differences in prices based on location (e.g. exchange rates).
  - We may store and continue billing your payment method (e.g. credit card) even after it has expired, to avoid interruptions in your Services and to use it to pay for other Services you may buy.
  - If you purchase a subscription, your payment method automatically will be charged at the start of each subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. To avoid future charges, cancel before the renewal date. Learn how to cancel or suspend your Premium Services.
  - All your purchases of Services are subject to TRAVELADVANCES.COM dba Tommy Talk refund policy.
  - We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase.

  date.
  
  Please review your settings to control and limit the messages you receive from us.
5. Sharing
  
  When you share information on our Services, others can see, copy, and use that information.
  
  Our Services allow messaging and sharing of information in many ways, such as your profile, articles, group posts, links to news articles, job postings, messages, and InMail. Information and content that you share, or post may be seen by other Members,
  
  Visitors, or others (including off of the Services). Where we have made settings available, we will honor the choices you make about who can see content or information (e.g., message content to your addressees, sharing content only to
  
  TRAVELADVANCES.COM dba Tommy Talk connections, restricting your profile visibility from search engines, or opting not to notify others of your TRAVELADVANCES.COM dba Tommy Talk profile update). For job searching activities, we default to not notifying your connections network or the public. So, if you apply for a job through our Service or opt to signal that you are interested in a job, our default is to share it only with the job poster.
  
  We are not obligated to publish any information or content on our Service and can remove it with or without notice.

These rights are limited in the following ways:

4. While we may edit and make format changes to your content (such as translating or transcribing it, modifying the size, layout, or file type, or removing metadata), we will not modify the meaning of your expression.
5. Because you own your content and information and we only have non-exclusive rights to it, you may choose to make it available to others, including under the terms of a Creative Commons license.

1. Services
  
  Our Services help you connect with others, find, and be found for work and business opportunities, stay informed, get training and be more productive.
  
  We use your data to authorize access to our Services and honor your settings. Stay Connected
  
  Our Services allow you to stay in touch and up to date with colleagues, partners, clients, and other professional contacts.

Subject to your and their settings, when you connect with other Members, you will be able to search each other’s connections in order to exchange
  
  professional opportunities.
  
  We use data about you (such as your profile, profiles you have viewed or data provided through address book uploads or partner integrations) to help others find your profile, suggest connections for you and others (e.g. Members who share your contacts or job experiences) and enable you to invite others to become a Member and connect with you. You can also opt-in to allow us to use your precise location or proximity to others for certain tasks (e.g., to suggest other nearby Members for you to connect with, calculate the commute to a new job, or notify your connections that you are at a professional event).
  
  It is your choice whether to invite someone to our Services, send a connection request, or allow another Member to become your connection. When you invite someone to connect with you, your invitation will include your network and basic profile information (e.g., name, profile photo, job title, region). We will send invitation reminders to the person you invited. You can choose whether or not to share your own list of connections with your connections.

Our Services also allow you to improve your professional skills or learn new ones. We use the data we have about you (e.g., data you provide, data we collect from your engagement with our Services and inferences we make
  
  from the data we have about you), to personalize our Services for you, such as by recommending or ranking relevant content and conversations on our Services. We also use the data we have about you to suggest skills you could add to your profile and skills that you might need to pursue your next opportunity. So, if you let us know that you are interested in a new skill (e.g., by watching a learning video), we will use this information to personalize content in your feed, suggest that you follow certain members on our site, or suggest related learning content to help you towards that new skill. We use your content, activity, and other data, including your name and photo, to provide notices to your network and others.

  - Data from your use of our Services (e.g., search history, feed, content you read, who you follow or is following you, connections, group participation, page visits, videos you watch, clicking on an ad, etc.), including as described in Section 1.3;

    We will show you ads called sponsored content which look similar to non-sponsored content, except that they are labeled as
    
    advertising (e.g., as “ad” or “sponsored”). If you take a social action (such as like, comment or share) on these ads, your action is associated with your name and viewable by others, including the advertiser. Subject to your settings, if you take a social action

However, if you view or click on an ad on or off our Services, the ad provider will get a signal that someone visited the page that displayed the ad, and they may, through the use of mechanisms such as cookies, determine it is you. Advertising partners can associate personal data collected by the advertiser directly from you with hashed IDs or device identifiers received from us. In such instances, we seek to contractually require such advertising partners to obtain your explicit opt-in consent before doing so.
