Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are entered into between the customer (“Client”) indicated in the order form for services (“Services”) and us, the entity identified in the Order Form as the provider of services (referred to as “we,” “us” or “our” and Client may also be referred to in these Terms as “you” or “your”). References to Client includes Client’s employees, contractors, and authorized users.

To use or receive the Services or upgrade to any Service, you must agree to these Terms by indicating your agreement via click-through acceptance or by executing an order for such Service or upgrade (whether online or in electronic copy, the “Order Form”). By agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you have the authority to bind the company you represent. These Terms will automatically renew for the period set forth in the Order Form as the “Renewal Term” and in accordance with Section 6 of these Terms.

The Terms consist of two parts: (1) these General Terms of Service, and (2) the terms specific to a certain Service included in the Service Specific Addendum attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein. In the event of a conflict between the Order Form, these Terms, or the Service Specific Addendum, the parties agree that solely to the extent of any such conflict, the order of precedence will be the Order Form, followed by the Service Specific Terms, followed by these Terms. Where we use the term “including” in these Terms, it means including without limitation.

Services.
1. We will provide the Services indicated in the Order Form according to the description in the Order Form and the applicable Service Specific Terms. You acknowledge that our ability to provide the Services depends on your full and timely cooperation with us, which you agree to provide. You will provide us with access to and use of all information, data, and documentation that we reasonably require. If requested, you will provide accurate and complete contact information and promptly inform us of any changes to your contact information. From time to time, we may make changes to the Services and reserve the right to modify, features, or components thereof, or our delivery method. If you are required to install any scripts on your systems or devices, you are responsible for maintaining the script and ensuring that the script is operational. We do not monitor the operation of scripts and are not responsible for the failure of a script to operate.
2. From time to time, an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) may make programs available to the OEM’s certified dealers. Such programs may include Services that we offer to certified dealers at no cost or at a discount, as indicated on an Order Form. If you are a certified dealer of an OEM, and you become eligible for an OEM program, you understand that the program is directed by the OEM, the OEM determines the Services to be offered, which dealers are eligible to receive Services, the duration of any Services, and any other rules or requirements related to the program. The OEM may change, modify, or discontinue the program at any time. The OEM may require dealers to agree to separate terms and conditions related to the program, or otherwise direct the use of such Services. We are not responsible for the OEM program, or the content or materials made available by the OEM. Where the OEM program Services are made available to you for no cost, we do not make any representations, warranties, or indemnities with respect to such Services and they are provided to you “as is” and “with all faults.”

Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, fees are due 30 days from the date of invoice.

We may increase the fees for any Service no more frequently than once during any 12-month period, or any time upon renewal.
1. Billing Cycles. We will invoice you according to the terms set forth in the Order Form. Depending on the Service, billing will either begin on the Effective Date or on the Activation Date. The “Effective Date” with respect to any Order Form is the date the Order Form is executed by Client and the “Activation Date” for each Service is defined in the Order Form. If the Order Form indicates that Services are billed monthly, you will pay for the Services on a monthly basis beginning on either the Activation Date or the Effective Date, as indicated in the Order Form, for the full month of fees (i.e. fees are not prorated); provided that, if a free-month(s) promotion applies to any Service that is invoiced on a monthly billing cycle, we will bill you for the first month of Service on the Effective Date and begin monthly billing following the expiration of the promotion period.

5. Overages. Certain Services may be invoiced based on your consumption, upon the use of the Service, or use of the Service on additional computers at one or multiple physical locations and, in such case, when your consumption or use exceeds the agreed to limitations, an overage will apply. You will pay such overage upon receipt of invoice. If you provide us with a credit card, you authorize us to charge your credit card for any such overages when they are incurred or on your next billing cycle, at our discretion.
6. Taxes. All fees and other amounts payable under these Terms are exclusive of taxes or similar assessments.

Client will not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance under these Terms, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without our prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, except that Client may transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of Client. No assignment, delegation, or transfer will relieve Client of any of its obligations or performance under these Terms.

You need to be able to provide proof that you have in place measures to ensure compliance with these restrictions.
6. Terms Specific to Messaging Services
  1. Consent Requirements.
    1. Prior to sending the first message, you must obtain consent from the message recipient to communicate with them. You must make clear to the individual they are agreeing to receive messages of the type you’re going to send. You need to keep a record of the consent, such as a copy of the document or form that the message recipient signed, or a timestamp of when the customer completed a sign-up flow.
    2. If you do not send an initial message to that individual within a reasonable period after receiving consent (or as set forth by local regulations or best practices), then you must reconfirm consent in the first message you send to that recipient.
    3. The consent applies only to you, and to the specific use or campaign that the recipient has consented to. You cannot treat it as blanket consent allowing you to send messages from other brands or companies, or additional messages about other uses or campaigns.
    4. Proof of opt-in consent must be retained as set forth by local regulation or best practices after the end user opts out of receiving messages.
  2. Alternative Consent Requirements: The Two Exceptions. While consent is always required and the consent requirements noted above are generally the safest path, there are two scenarios where consent can be received differently:
    1. Contact initiated by an individual. If an individual sends a message to you, you are free to respond in an exchange with that individual. For example, if an individual texts your phone number asking for your hours of operation, you can respond directly to that individual, relaying your open hours. In such a case, the individual’s inbound message to you constitutes both consent and proof of consent. Remember that the consent is limited only to that particular conversation. Unless you obtain additional consent, don’t send messages that are outside that conversation.
    2. Informational content to an individual based a prior relationship. You may send a message to an individual where you have a prior relationship, provided that individual provided their phone number to you, and has taken some action to trigger the potential communication and has not expressed a preference to not receive messages from you. Actions can include a button press, alert setup, appointments, or order placements. Examples of acceptable messages in these scenarios include appointment reminders, receipts, one-time passwords, order/shipping/reservation confirmations, drivers coordinating pick up locations with riders, and repair persons confirming service call times. The message must not attempt to promote a product, convince someone to buy something, or advocate for a social cause.
  3. Periodic Messages and Ongoing Consent. If you intend to send messages to a recipient on an ongoing basis, you should confirm the recipient’s consent by offering them a clear reminder of how to unsubscribe from those messages using standard opt-out language (defined below). You must also respect the message recipient’s preferences in terms of frequency of contact. You also need to proactively ask individuals to reconfirm their consent as set forth by local regulations and best practices.
  4. Identifying Yourself as the Sender. Every message you send must clearly identify you (the party that obtained the opt-in from the recipient) as the sender, except in follow-up messages of an ongoing conversation.
  5. Opt-out. The initial message that you send to an individual needs to include the following language: “Reply STOP to unsubscribe,” or the equivalent using another standard opt-out keyword, such as STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, and QUIT. Individuals must have the ability to revoke consent at any time by replying with a standard opt-out keyword. When an individual opts out, you may deliver one final message to confirm that the opt-out has been processed, but any subsequent messages are not allowed. An individual must once again provide consent before you can send any additional messages.
  6. Messaging Policy Violation Detection and Prevention Evasion. You may not use Messaging Services to evade any telecommunications provider’s unwanted messaging detection and prevention mechanisms. Examples of prohibited practices include:
    1. Content designed to evade detection. As noted above, content which has been specifically designed to evade detection by unwanted messaging detection and prevention mechanisms is not allowed. This includes intentionally misspelled words or non-standard opt-out phrases which have been specifically created with the intent to evade these mechanisms.
    2. Snowshoeing. Snowshoeing is not allowed. Snowshoeing is defined as spreading similar or identical messages across many phone numbers with the intent or effect of evading unwanted messaging detection and prevention mechanisms.
  7. US Specific SMS Guidelines. You are strongly encouraged to review proposed use cases with qualified legal counsel to make sure they comply with all applicable laws. The following are some general best practices:
    1. Get opt-in consent from each customer or potential customer before sending any communication to them, particularly for marketing or other non-essential communications.
    2. Only communicate during a customer or potential customer’s daytime hours unless it is urgent.
    3. SMS campaigns should support HELP/STOP messages, and similar messages, in the customer or potential customer’s local language.
    4. Do not contact customers or potential customers on do-not-call or do-not-disturb registries.
    5. The euro symbol (€) is not supported; avoid using this character in message submission toward the United States.
  8. Services Using Phone Numbers. If you use a phone number with any of the Messaging Services, the following requirements apply:
    1. Phone Number Compliance. Upon LeadVenture’s request, you will provide LeadVenture with true, accurate, and complete information associated with your use of any phone number with the Messaging Services for which LeadVenture is required to have an address or any other information, if applicable, on record. You will provide reasonable cooperation regarding information requests from law enforcement, regulators, or telecommunications providers. Furthermore, if you use any Messaging Services that require the use of a phone number, you will comply with any law or regulation that is or becomes applicable as a result of your software application or service interfacing with the Messaging Services.
    2. Phone Number Porting. You agree not to obtain phone numbers via your account for the sole purpose of immediately porting them out. You agree to provide us with explicit consent in the form required for each phone number that you seek to port out. You agree not to take any action to prevent the execution of a port-out request once instructions have been given to facilitate such port-out request. Your port-out request may not be possible if (a) the phone number is not in service; (b) the port-out request is prohibited by applicable law or regulation; (c) the port-out request is not supported by the underlying telecommunications provider or entity receiving the port-in request; or (d) the port-out request is unauthorized, incomplete, or incorrect.
    3. Withdrawal & Replacement of Phone Numbers. You acknowledge that phone numbers associated with your account are subject to (a) domestic and international laws, policies, and regulations and (b) requirements of underlying telecommunications providers, international intergovernmental organizations (e.g., International Telecommunications Union (ITU)), and phone numbering plan administrators ((a) and (b) collectively, “Phone Number Rules”). We may withdraw or replace any phone number associated with your account (x) if required pursuant to the Phone Number Rules; (y) if the use of such phone number violates Phone Number Rules; or (z) for technical reasons. We will, where possible, provide you with notice prior to any phone number withdrawal or replacement for the foregoing reasons. Separately, we may withdraw or replace any phone number without prior notice if such phone number is associated with (a) a trial account that has not been used for more than ninety (90) days or (b) an account that has been suspended for more than ninety (90) days.

    4. Sending chain letters, pyramid schemes, or other fraudulent or deceptive content to a recipient;
    5. Using any tracking technologies (e.g., tracking pixels or cookies) in emails sent to a recipient prior to obtaining consent from that recipient to the extent and in the manner required by applicable law or regulation; and
    6. Evading mechanisms, filters, and detection capabilities designed to identify unwanted emails.
  5. Deliverability Risk. Some content or sending practices are not illegal or prohibited but are highly likely to face deliverability issues. High rates of deliverability problems and third-party complaints (e.g., consumer or recipient complaints or complaints from inbox providers) may negatively affect the performance of Email Services. As such, email content or sending practices that generate such outcomes may lead to the third-party provider’s refusal to deliver emails or account suspension. Examples of content that may be at risk for increased monitoring and potential deliverability issues include, but are not limited to, the following:
    1. Emails related to work-at-home hoaxes, get rich quick schemes, and make money online schemes;
    2. Unsolicited lead generation opportunities;
    3. Gambling services;
    4. Multi-level and affiliate marketing;
    5. Credit repair and get-out-of-debt opportunities;
    6. Multimedia Messaging Service; MM3 Stage 3 for Internet Mail Exchange;
    7. Selling “Likes” or followers for a social media platform; and
    8. Cryptocurrencies, virtual currencies, and any digital assets related to an Initial Coin Offering.
  6. Creation of Multiple Accounts. All Email Services customers are prohibited from creating an excessive number of accounts for the purposes of circumventing internal controls. In general, accounts are limited to one free and one paid Email Services email account per customer with employees, contractors, and authorized users to segregate usage as appropriate.
Violations. We reserve the right to suspend or remove access to Messaging Services or Email Services for clients we determine are not complying with these Service Specific Terms, or who are not following the law in any applicable area or applicable communications industry guidelines or standards, in some instances with limited notice in the case of serious violations of this policy.
