1. Introduction
SharedLift is an innovative online platform designed to connect clients who are looking to earn commissions through referrals with others who are interested in joining the system. The platform offers a unique opportunity for individuals to not only benefit financially from referring others but also to play an active role in helping others succeed by building and nurturing teams. These teams are focused on the overall growth and prosperity of each member, fostering a strong sense of community and shared success.
As a user of SharedLift, whether you are simply exploring the platform or you decide to sign up and actively participate, you agree to adhere to the privacy practices that are outlined in the document below. These practices are designed to protect your personal information and ensure that your experience on the platform is secure, transparent, and aligned with both your expectations and the platform’s mission. By engaging with the platform, you consent to how your information will be handled in accordance with these guidelines.
The purpose of SharedLift extends beyond just a referral system; it aims to build a thriving community of individuals who support each other’s growth. It is a place where users can collaborate, share insights, and help each other achieve both personal and collective goals. Your involvement with the platform plays a key role in shaping the success of the entire network, and we strive to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all participants.
We take your privacy seriously. When you access or interact with SharedLift, we collect and process certain data as part of providing the services, improving the user experience, and maintaining the platform’s functionality. By using the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our privacy practices, and you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described below. It is important to regularly review these practices to stay informed about how your data is being handled.
2. User Eligibility
2.1. Restriction of Access for U.S. Citizens and Residents
The SharedLift platform is explicitly unavailable to any individual who holds citizenship or residency status within the United States. This includes individuals who are residing temporarily or permanently within the U.S. or those who may hold dual citizenship that includes the United States. Any user who attempts to sign up from the U.S. will be classified as an “alien” under the terms of this policy, and therefore will not be permitted to access the platform. We advise all users to carefully review their citizenship or residency status prior to attempting to register.
2.2. User Responsibility for Compliance.
By proceeding to use the SharedLift platform, you acknowledge and affirm that you are neither a citizen nor a resident of the United States. You also agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations that are relevant to your specific location and jurisdiction. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that you are in compliance with the legal frameworks that govern internet use, data privacy, and other digital interactions in your country. The platform is designed to be fully compliant with international law, and we do not offer services in regions where we cannot guarantee full regulatory adherence.
2.3. Exclusion of U.S. Users
The platform enforces a strict policy of non-availability for U.S. citizens and residents. This means that regardless of an individual’s location within the U.S. or any temporary residence status, they are considered "alien" users under this policy. Attempts to sign up from any U.S.-based email address, IP address, or any other indicators of U.S. origin will result in the immediate rejection of the registration attempt. This policy is in place to ensure that all users meet the regulatory requirements relevant to their respective countries and regions.
2.4. Agreement to Terms of Use and Legal Compliance.
By using SharedLift, you confirm that you are not a citizen or resident of the United States and that you fully comply with the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in your country of residence. You understand that this platform is not intended for U.S. users, and as such, you bear responsibility for ensuring that your participation does not violate local laws, including those related to data protection, digital services, and internet usage. If you are in doubt regarding your legal standing, we recommend seeking legal counsel to ensure compliance before engaging with the platform.
