Ok. When you get your TOS Agreement in the mail, look up all you can concerning Heritage. Go to the bottom of the pages, make a copy of their policies, job requirements paper work available to freelancers and of course an update on the TOS to date and privacy policies. Now, you take time and read the contraditions in spirit and literal-- there are your loopholes. Frankly, they make me sick.
Since around Nov.2009. there has been an increase of 71 complaints. Just last night 8 more were added:2/17/2010 550 complaints. 2/19/2010 558 complaints!
What ever you are doing guys, keep it up!!! As long as this company is allowed to maitain their practice, Utah BBB won't be out of a job! I just wish they could do something more, like how each month, each year in the past. Notice, they don't let you investigate the past from the beginning, nor do they let you see the transcripts of the meeting and the such. Maybe Hit could help them with that computer program.
It is apparent that inc.500 doesn't get how Hit became so successful in such a short period of time. Having endorcements toward their Company, written and maintained in the inc.5oo public records, one would not be too far off assuming inc.500 carries some liability concerning how customers ARE ripped off!!! If a case is launched, and the little guys win, well, I wouldn't want to have my name attatched, they may be partially liable@@@Hint - Hint!!! Look at all of the endorcements at the bottom of Hits web page. I only looked up one.
You'll like this one! Hit tells its' frelance writters this: "Hit maintains a strict policy on project deadlines. Our customers expect their site to be completed in a timely fashion and one of our top priorities is meeting that expectation. 6 sentences down, "complete projects on time and to the customer's satisfaction." Page 4 of 8.
Page 5 of 8 Last chapter:"there is a completion deadline."
TOS Agreement #6. 1st, 2nd, 3rd. paragraphs after big list. Total contradiction. The question is, If Hit's "Governing Principles, contradict in practicallity and function, let alone spirit, then who is to know which is the real Terms of Service? Is the double standard acceptable, leagal, or legitimate???
#10. paragraph 3 disproves "We Stand Behind Our Work!' You will find this declaration plastered accross their front page on the WWW. In short client claims Hit will not be held liable for accuracy of information, typos...
#26. 90-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. Yes! Hit is supposed to give you back your money if you are not satisfied. From date of sale to the taken live status. TOS #16. indicates they keep 50% with in 16's written definition. Reguardless, customer satisfaction and 90 day guarantee TOS contradiction.
#29.

DISCONTINUE SERVICES, HWS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO CLIENT FOR :::::PAID ACCOUNTS WILL NOT BE--------REFUNDED!!!
Remember the begining of this account, "Client's Satisfaction!!!
This one screams " LET US RUB YOUR NOSE IN IT!
#31. There is a minimum cancelation fee of 50%, 50%, 50%, 50%!
Ok, does this make any sense? HWS's Governing guidelines and policies contradict all over the place. It seems they only apply when they stand alone against a customer. See, after awhile they start to cancel-out one another, leaving few to stand on. Yet, when one single Term is violated, then all are deemed void. Hit has certainly voided out their own TOS through their own words, practices, and conclussions which violate public safety declarations within the contracts of TOS Agreement, Customer service requirement, and Privacy policies in place.
The complaint against Hit, with the "BBB of Utah", appears to be an oozing bleeder, only in this case it is SHIT!!! NO SHIT!
I am sure you can find more. Each case is different, yet, the same: I have just been %$#&ed and the shit goes on.
Now is the time to read between the lines! Hit, you can't have it both ways or three ways, or always! You time is coming and that ain't no lie!
Hits Victims will laugh last!!! From what I can see, you have years filled with them, making a case even easier.
