Hearthside Book Club Membership Agreement

This license agreement constitutes a legal agreement between your employer and Hearthstone Alzheimer Care. In this Agreement, we refer to “HEARTHSTONE” as “we”, “us” or “our” and your employer as the “Customer”, “you” or “your.”

SECTION A: ACCEPTANCE

  1. You agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions set out in this license agreement;
  2. If you are accepting on behalf of a company, you represent and warrant to Hearthstone that you have full authority to bind such company; and
  3. If you do not accept these terms and conditions, you are not authorized to download this digital content.

SECTION B: LICENSE

  1. Through our Services, you will be provided with digital materials, including PDF files, video files, audio files, and other files (together called the "Digital Content").

SECTION C: ONE PHYSICAL LOCATION PER MEMBERSHIP

One Hearthside Book Club membership entitles you to print and view stories, subject to the limits and conditions listed below, at one physical location/site.  For example, if you are an activity coordinator at a nursing home in Los Angeles, as a basic member you can print up to 25 copies for that nursing home. As a premium member, you can print unlimited copies, but only for that nursing home. If your company is part of a chain, a separate membership would need to be used for each location. If you are a staff member who oversees multiple locations (e.g., if you oversee sites in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco), you would need to purchase one membership for each site.
