About HR SUCCESS TALK Community

HR SUCCESS TALK (as described and identified at the foot of this Agreement) is a platform connecting HR and Business Leaders across the world to collaborate with each other to discuss HR and Business related matters. 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. 

Who can subscribe to HR SUCCESS TALK

Subscription requests to HR SUCCESS TALK and the related Services may only be submitted by HR and Business professionals operating within any sized businesses who do not pursue directly, with their professions, purposes of a commercial nature. Subscription to HR SUCCESS TALK 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 SUCCESS TALK, 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 SUCCESS TALK by duly completing the necessary profiling procedure. Such requests will be evaluated by the HR SUCCESS TALK Team, 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 SUCCESS TALK 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 SUCCESS TALK and are stipulated through a different and separate agreement of a commercial nature with HR SUCCESS TALK which may, if necessary, include costs and financial commitments adjusted according to varying degrees of progression. Any improper attempted intrusion into HR SUCCESS TALK 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.

Any form of illegality found in the content or in the transactions enabled by HR SUCCESS TALK Services will be immediately isolated and reported to the competent authorities.
