PLEASE REVIEW THIS TERMS OF SERVICES AGREEMENT (“TERMS”) CAREFULLY, AS IT AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY AND DATA PROCESSING ADDENDUM (“DPA”) COLLECTIVELY CONSTITUTES A LEGAL AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) BETWEEN YOU (“YOU” OR “CUSTOMER” OR “CUSTOMERS”) AND PINPOINTE ON-DEMAND, INC. (“Pinpointe” OR “WE”).
BY SIGNING UP WITH PINPOINTE, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU HAVE READ THESE TERMS, THE PRIVACY POLICY AND THE DPA, TOGETHER COMPROMISING THE AGREEMENT AND INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH THEREIN. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE THE SERVICES (“SERVICES”) OFFERED BY PINPOINTE. THIS IS AN AGREEMENT FOR THESE SERVICES AND YOU ARE NOT BEING GRANTED A LICENSE TO ANY SOFTWARE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
Our Customers retain and authorize Pinpointe to transmit messages and provide information to their end user contacts (“Recipients”) on their behalf. In the course of providing those Services, Customers provide us with personal information (“Personal Information”) relating to their Recipients.
During the term of this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and any guidelines, rules or operating policies that Pinpointe may establish and post from time to time on www.Pinpointe.com (the “Site”), including, without limitation Pinpointe’s anti-spam policy, Privacy Policy, DPA and prohibited content and commerce statement (collectively, the “Policies”), Pinpointe agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer with the Services. From time to time, Pinpointe may modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the Policies. All such changes shall become effective upon posting of the revised Agreement and/or Policies, as the case may be, on the Site, and Customer’s use of the Services thereafter shall be subject thereto.
Pinpointe Products and Services
Monthly Recurring Plans
Our charges for our monthly recurring plans are posted on our Website and may be changed from time-to-time. Payments are due for the full month for which any part of the month is included in the “Term.” Payments are due every 30 days from the date of the month you signed up with us and made your first monthly payment (the “Pay Date”).
Monthly Plans – No Overage Charges. If you consume all of your email credits available in your subscription plan for a given period, you may purchase additional ‘top-it-off’ credits that can be used for the remainder of the calendar month. Pinpointe does *not* automatically add credits to your account, and then later bill you for ‘overage’ usage in any given month. Any unused credits are not ‘rolled over’ to the following month or period.
As long as you are an “Active Customer” or have an outstanding balance with us, you agree to at all times provide us with valid credit card information and authorize us to deduct the monthly charges against such credit card and to replace the information for any credit card that expires with information on a different valid credit card. Any individual using a credit card represents and warrants that he or she is authorized to use such credit card and that any and all charges may be billed to such credit card and will not be rejected.
Pay-as-You-Go-Plans
You may elect to buy “Email Credits” to use our Services, as explained on the “Pricing” page of our website, rather than sign up for a monthly plan. If you elect a “Pay-as-You-Go Plan,” you will still be considered an “Active Customer” while your credits are valid, and all the terms of this Agreement will still apply to you other than the requirement that you pay us monthly.
Professional Services. In addition to the Services, Customer may purchase certain premium services which may be customized pursuant to a mutually agreed upon written statement of work. The Professional Services are provided by Pinpointe separate and distinct from the Services and are not required for Customer’s use or enjoyment of the Services. Any Statement of Work may be modified or amended with the written consent of each of Pinpointe and Customer.
Money Back Guarantee
Pinpointe offers a 30 day, money back guarantee. We’re confident you will like our product and services so our terms are simple. If you try Pinpointe and you are not satisfied, we will refund your payment 100% (up to $380) as long as you abide by our Terms of Service, and you abide by our anti-spam policies. Please note that if you upload a list of non opt-in, purchased contacts and send email to these contacts, you will have violated our terms of service and will not be eligible for our money-back guarantee. Our Money-Back-Guarantee is valid for customers in the first 30 days after initial sign-up.
Fees and Payment
In consideration for the Services to be provided by Pinpointe, you agree to pay all fees set forth in the Service Order. You agree:
- Pinpointe fees after the 30-day money back guarantee period are non-refundable. We may, at our sole discretion, offer refunds in other situations subject to any Active Customer seeking such refund applying for the refund in accordance with the requirements we post on the website, which may be changed from time to time.
- Pinpointe reserves the right to change our fees at any time by posting a new fee structure to our Website and/or sending you a notification of the change by email.
- If a user violates any of the terms of this Agreement, we reserve the right to cancel accounts, or bar access to accounts, without refund.
- If a user causes one or more of our IP addresses to be added to a primary blacklist (SORBS or Spamhaus) as a result of directly violating our terms of service, Pinpointe reserves the right to charge customer up to $200 per IP address that has been affected and the customer account may be temporarily suspended until listings are resolved. Pinpointe, at it’s sole discretion, may elect to waive these charges.
- If, for some reason we are unable to process your credit card, eCheck, Paypal order, or we do not receive your pre-paid check when due, Pinpointe will attempt to contact you by email and your account may be suspended until your payment can be processed. In the event you fail to make timely payments when due, Pinpointe may, at its election, discontinue, terminate or suspend the Services and delete all Customers Data from its systems, in each case, without incurring any liability to you, the Customer. Despite any such discontinuation or suspension, Customer acknowledges and agrees that it will be required to pay the Subscription Fees for the remainder of the term of this Agreement.
- You agree to pay for all emails you send from your Pinpointe account, even if you accidentally sent the wrong campaign to the wrong list, or if messages are blocked by any third party (we have no control over your recipients’ email servers, ISP availability, personal spam filter settings, etc)
- For pay-as-you-go accounts, your email credits “roll over” each month, for up to 1 year. After 1 year from the date of purchase, pay-as-you-go credits expire. Your account and credits can be re-activated and will roll over for another 12 months if you purchase additional pay-as-you-go credits within 10 days of the above expiration date. However, if you do not log in to your account at least once for 12 months, your account (including all campaigns, lists, and other data) may be deleted permanently from our system.
Cancellation
If you need to cancel your subscription, please contact us at 408-834-7577 or via email at sales@pinpointe.com. You can also directly terminate your account form the ‘Account Settings’ tab within your Pinpointe account. Details can be found in our Cancellation Policy, posted on www.pinpointe.com.
Term, Termination and Removal
Either party may terminate the Term of this Agreement at any time for any reason by providing Notice to the other party. You can cancel your account by contacting Pinpointe Sales by phone at 408-834-7577 or via email at sales@pinpointe.com at any time in accordance with our “Cancellation Policy” which can be found on our website.
We may suspend our Services to you at any time with or without cause. Once terminated, we may remove any of your electronic newsletters or other emails and related data and files from our Website and any other storage. Additionally, if you do not log in to your account for 6 or more months, we may deem your account “inactive” and permanently delete your account and all data associated with it.
If you terminate your account, as a courtesy Pinpointe may retain your data for up to 30 days, after which all data will be permanently removed.
