Terms & Conditions

Effective date: August 2026

Welcome to Horizon Hill Research ("Horizon Hill," "we," "our," or "us"). These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, participant registration, research opportunities, and related content (collectively, the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.

1. About Horizon Hill Research

Horizon Hill Research connects individuals with market research opportunities — including focus groups, interviews, product tests, online studies, and surveys — conducted by us or our research partners. Participation in any study is voluntary and subject to screening requirements, client eligibility criteria, and available capacity.

2. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes, and not to:

  • Misrepresent your identity or eligibility, or submit false, misleading, or duplicate registrations;
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to, or interfere with the operation or security of, the Site;
  • Copy, scrape, distribute, or commercially exploit Site content without our written permission; or
  • Use bots, crawlers, or other automated tools to access or collect information from the Site.

We may suspend or terminate access for anyone who violates these Terms.

3. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, branding, layouts, and design elements — is owned by or licensed to Horizon Hill Research and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing on the Site grants any right to use our trademarks, logos, or copyrighted materials without our prior written consent.

4. Study Registration & Eligibility

Submitting your information does not guarantee selection for a study. Invitations depend on factors such as client screening requirements, demographic qualifications, geographic availability, scheduling, prior participation, and capacity. We determine participant eligibility and may remove registrations that appear inaccurate, incomplete, fraudulent, or inconsistent. Compensation and participation requirements vary by study, and each invitation states them in advance.

5. Your Information

When you submit information through the Site, you represent that it is accurate and current, and you agree to keep it updated. Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

6. Communications

By registering, you consent to receive communications related to research opportunities, screening, study confirmations, scheduling, and reminders. You may unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time, though study-related messages may still be necessary once you've registered for a research opportunity.

7. Third-Party Websites

The Site may link to services operated independently of us — such as our participant registration platform, survey tools, or video-conference providers. We are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, security, or availability, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.

8. Availability

We aim to keep the Site available and accurate but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify features, update research opportunities, correct errors, or suspend or discontinue parts of the Site without prior notice.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Horizon Hill Research disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and reliability. We do not guarantee the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Horizon Hill Research and its employees, officers, contractors, affiliates, partners, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site, including loss of data, lost profits, or service interruptions. In no event will our total liability exceed $100 USD. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Horizon Hill Research and its employees, affiliates, officers, contractors, and partners from any claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms or applicable law, or your infringement of another person's rights.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any legal action relating to these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in [County], Florida.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms periodically. When we do, we'll update the effective date above. Your continued use of the Site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Contact Us

Questions about these Terms may be directed to our email address.

15. Entire Agreement

These Terms are the complete agreement between you and Horizon Hill Research regarding your use of the Site and supersede any prior agreements relating to it. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect, and our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
