Boring stuff
Nobody gets excited about this page, but every good business needs one.
Here you’ll find the important policies and disclosures that explain how HatchStride works, what you can expect from us, and how we handle your information.
Terms of Use
HatchStride provides educational and informational content based on experiences, perspectives, research, insights from business owners and professionals, contributor content, and other sources.
Our content is not legal, tax, financial, accounting, insurance, investment, or other professional advice.
Every business and situation is different. You are responsible for your own business decisions and should consult an appropriately qualified professional when necessary.
We work to provide useful and accurate information, but we do not guarantee that all information will always be complete, current, error-free, or appropriate for your specific circumstances.
Your use of HatchStride and any decisions you make based on information found through HatchStride are at your own discretion.
Grants, Funding & Business Opportunities
HatchStride may share grants, funding programs, competitions, accelerator programs, business resources, and other opportunities offered by third parties.
We do our best to verify information when it is published, but deadlines, eligibility requirements, award amounts, program terms, availability, and other details may change without notice.
HatchStride does not guarantee that you will qualify for, receive, or benefit from any opportunity we share.
Always review the official program website and conduct your own research before applying, submitting personal or business information, paying any fee, or making a financial or business decision.
Unless specifically stated, HatchStride is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the companies or organizations offering these opportunities.
HatchStride+ Membership
HatchStride+ is a recurring paid membership currently offered at $9 per month unless a different price or billing arrangement is clearly stated at signup.
Membership benefits may include discounts, partner offers, business resources, tools, listings, exclusive content, and other benefits made available from time to time.
Benefits, participating businesses, offers, pricing, and features may change as HatchStride grows.
Members may cancel according to the cancellation instructions provided through their account or at signup.
Cancellation stops future renewals but does not ordinarily refund previous membership charges unless required by law or specifically stated otherwise.
Partner & Member Deals
Discounts, promotions, and member offers may be provided by independent third-party businesses.
HatchStride does not control the products or services provided by those businesses and does not guarantee their availability, quality, pricing, fulfillment, customer service, or performance.
Individual offers may have their own restrictions, eligibility requirements, expiration dates, locations, service areas, or other terms.
Always review the individual offer and the participating business’s terms before making a purchase.
Third-Party Websites & Services
HatchStride may link to websites, applications, products, services, or resources operated by third parties.
Those third parties operate independently from HatchStride and may have their own terms, privacy practices, pricing, and policies.
A link or mention on HatchStride does not necessarily mean that HatchStride endorses or guarantees that business, product, service, or organization.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some links, products, services, or recommendations on HatchStride may involve affiliate relationships.
This means HatchStride may receive compensation if you purchase, subscribe, or sign up through certain links, at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate compensation does not guarantee a positive recommendation or automatic inclusion on HatchStride.
We want recommendations and resources on HatchStride to remain useful to business owners regardless of whether an affiliate relationship exists.
Owner Stories & Contributors
The experiences, opinions, strategies, and results shared through Owner Stories, interviews, articles, videos, and contributor content belong to the individuals sharing them.
Their experiences are provided for insight and educational purposes.
Results vary from business to business, and another owner’s experience should not be interpreted as a promise or guarantee that you will achieve the same result.
Privacy
HatchStride may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, account information, business information, and information necessary to provide membership services.
We may also use standard website technologies and third-party services to understand how visitors interact with HatchStride, operate the platform, process payments, communicate with members, and improve our services.
Payment information may be processed by third-party payment providers and is subject to their applicable terms and privacy practices.
Additional information about how data is collected, used, stored, or shared may be provided through HatchStride’s privacy notices or the privacy policies of services we use.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, HatchStride’s original written content, branding, graphics, designs, videos, resources, and other materials are owned by or licensed to HatchStride.
They may not be copied, reproduced, republished, sold, or commercially distributed without permission.
Sharing links to HatchStride content or referencing HatchStride with appropriate credit is welcome.
Changes
HatchStride is growing, and these terms, policies, membership features, and disclosures may be updated from time to time.
When changes are made, the latest version posted on HatchStride will apply going forward.
