clEAR auditory brain training was created by clEAR, LLC (henceforth “clEAR” or “we”, referring to all employees of the company). The following Terms of Service (“TOS”) regulate all usage of clEAR’s website and online services.
By accessing and using this site, you accept these TOS. Any use of this website or its available services results in a binding contract that leaves you responsible for following any guidelines applicable to those services. Please read the TOS carefully before using the website. If you do not agree to abide by these guidelines, you may not use this site nor any of its services. These TOS include our Privacy Policy, which can be read here. If you are accessing the clEAR website from a location where the TOS cannot be enforced, you may not use this site nor any of its services. Any user who is found to violate these TOS will have their clEAR accounts terminated immediately.
If the clEAR TOS conflicts with any other rules and regulations found elsewhere on the clEAR website, the TOS shall overrule other rules and regulations. The TOS may occasionally be updated to reflect changes in the clEAR website or subscription services. If changes are made, we will provide you with notice via email or via online notification in advance, before any updates are applied. Continued use of the clEAR website and services after the update notices indicates your acceptance of any changes and consent to the new TOS. If any section of the TOS is found to be unenforceable, the remaining portions of the TOS will remain in effect and fully applicable. Failure to enforce a provision of the TOS at one time does not negate the enforceability of that provision in the future.

You may print information from the site for non-commercial purposes, but a clinician may print clEAR charts tracking a patient’s progress and share them with that patient. If possible copyright infringement arises, please contact clear.aural.rehab@gmail.com to report any occurrences. Additionally, we appreciate any feedback that clEAR customers may have, and may use any feedback (whether it be spoken, written, emailed, or posted on social media) freely without agreement or consent forms.

Data you enter on clEAR’s website is confidential unless otherwise stated. We seek to create a customized auditory brain training experience, so information you enter will be available to your hearing healthcare professional but will not be shared with any third parties for commercial or marketing purposes except in the aggregate of all users and in general terms to show usage. Entering some personal information is mandatory in order to create a clEAR account. This includes email address information. By accepting these TOS, you agree to allow clEAR to communicate with you via email. Such communications may include reminder emails, emails explaining new product information, or emails relating to your personal clEAR account. clEAR follows all security guidelines that United States laws demand. Should any private information be shared, clEAR is not liable for any reputational or economic damage caused to the user.
clEAR is provided as a beneficial service for its users, so all of the following are strictly prohibited:

clEAR Hearing Healthcare Providers are required to contact you at least three times throughout your initial subscription to affirm they are your assigned clEAR Hearing Healthcare Provider. A clEAR Hearing Healthcare Provider is a hearing healthcare professional who receives payment from clEAR for providing customized hearing healthcare to clEAR uses. clEAR is not at any time responsible for the quality of service the provider may or may not provide or the regularity with which they may or may not contact you. If you are unhappy with your clEAR Hearing Healthcare Provider’s service, you always have the option of switching to a different clEAR Hearing Healthcare Provider or working with a clEAR online audiologist.
clEAR is not responsible for any data or payment losses that may occur, or for any damages caused by such losses.
No indemnity is provided for any violations of the TOS by clEAR users. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive any and all claims you may have against clEAR for losses or damages related to use of its services. You agree to defend and hold clEAR harmless of any and all claims resulting from your use.
We aim to resolve any user conflicts informally if a dispute may arise. You agree to contact clEAR with any complaints before filing any legal claims. Arbitration relating to any breaches of this document shall be held in St. Louis, Missouri (or any other location as determined by mutual written agreement) through the National Arbitration Forum according to the existing Code of Procedure at the time of the arbitration. Missouri law shall apply, as will the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 16.
clEAR is not responsible for any disruptions in service due to causes beyond its control, including but not limited to: acts of god, forces of nature, states of emergency, acts of terrorism, labor disputes, or any other occurrences beyond clEAR’s control.
If any links to third party websites are posted on the clEAR website, clEAR is not responsible for any content that can be found there. We may share third party links when we believe they will be beneficial to users. Some third party service providers (including our programmers and maintenance team) have access to our server. On a best-efforts basis, we take steps to ensure breaches of security from third party sites will not occur.
As a user, you agree that you have either reached the age of majority for your respective state of residence, are an emancipated minor, or have consent to use the site from a parent or guardian. This site and its services are not directed to children under 13 years of age without the presence of a parent or guardian.

If any errors in pricing occur on the site, clEAR has the permission to cancel orders made and/or request the correct payment price.

Pricing may change in the future; if this occurs, clEAR will notify you before any change in price is implemented. Unless otherwise stated, all fees and charges on clEAR’s website are in U.S. currency. Your subscription can be cancelled at any time, but prorated refunds for your remaining subscription term will not be given.
