Terms of Service

We (the folks at POPSMASH) are on a mission to make marketing personal by leveraging AI to connect customers & companies in meaningful ways. We hope you love our products and services. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) describe our commitments to you, and your rights and responsibilities when using our services. Please read them carefully and reach out to us if you have any questions.

Terms of Service

These Terms govern your access to and use of POPSMASH and the POPSMASH applications, as well as all content and POPSMASH products and services available at or through these websites and applications (collectively, “Services”). These Terms also govern visitors’ access to and use of any websites that use our Services. For some of POPSMASH’s other products, services, and programs additional Terms of Service may apply and will be posted on the respective websites or within their respective applications. When used in connection with 3rd party services (for example, social networking websites, applications and services), additional Terms of Service may apply and will be posted on their respective websites or within their respective applications. Our Services are offered subject to your acceptance, without modification, of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, POPSMASH’s Privacy Policy), and procedures that may be published from time to time by POPSMASH (collectively, the “Agreement”). You agree that we may automatically upgrade our Services, and the Agreement will apply to any upgrades. Please read the Agreement carefully before accessing or using our Services. By accessing or using any part of our Services, you agree to become bound by the Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms of the Agreement, then you may not access or use our Services.

Who’s Who

Throughout these Terms, “you” and "users," "customers,' "merchants" and related terms applies to both individuals and entities that access or use our Services. If you are an individual using our Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to the Agreement and that by using our Service(s), you are accepting the Agreement on behalf of that entity. Your Agreement is with POPSMASH Inc. We refer to POPSMASH, POPSMASH, Inc and POPSMASH Inc. collectively as “POPSMASH” or “we” throughout these Terms.

Who Has Rights Under this Agreement

• This agreement does not give any rights to any third parties.
• You cannot transfer your rights or obligations under this agreement without our consent.
• Our rights and obligations can be assigned to others. For example, this could occur if the ownership of POPSMASH changes (e.g. through merger, acquisition, or sale of assets) or by law.

Your Account

Where use of our Services requires an account, you agree to provide us with complete and accurate information when you register for an account and keep the information current. This is important because sometimes we may need to send you notable updates (for example, about changes to our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy), or we may want to let you know about and make informed choices in response to legal inquiries or complaints.

You will be solely responsible and liable for any activity that occurs under your account. You are responsible for keeping your account information up-to-date and for keeping your password secure.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, associated accounts (for example, connected social media accounts you may use for login) and any Service-related website, store, or other content, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your account and any other actions taken in connection with our Services. You shall not share or misuse your access credentials. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized uses of your account or of any other breach of security. We will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.

When you initially log in and/or install our app we will automatically create a POPSMASH account for you, which is required to use our services. When you create a POPSMASH account (also occurs when you login, access or in any way use POPSMASH Services), we consider that to be an inquiry about our products and services, which means that we may contact you to share more details about what we have to offer. Don't worry -- if you aren't interested in learning more, you can opt out of the marketing communication, whether it's an email, phone call, text message or any other means of communication.

Minimum Age Requirements

Our Services are not directed to children. Access to and use of our Services is only for those over the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Union). If you are younger than this, you may not register for or use our Services. Any person who registers as a user or provides their personal information to our Services represents that they are 13 years of age or older (or 16 years or older in the European Union).

Responsibility of Visitors & Users

We have not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the content (such as, but not limited to, text, photo, video, audio, code, computer software, items for sale, or other materials) posted to our Services by users or anyone else (“Content”) and are not responsible for any use or effects of such Content. So, for example:

• We do not endorse any Content or represent that Content is accurate, useful, or non-harmful. Content could be offensive, indecent, or objectionable; include technical inaccuracies, typographical mistakes, or other errors; or violate or infringe the privacy, publicity rights, intellectual property rights (see our Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy section to submit copyright complaints), or other proprietary rights of third parties.
• If you post Content, comment on a website, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) Content available on our Services, you are entirely responsible for the Content, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct.
• We disclaim any responsibility for any harm resulting from anyone’s use, purchase, or downloading of Content.

• Please note that additional third party terms and conditions may apply to the downloading, copying, purchase, or use of Content.

We also have not reviewed, and cannot review, all of the material, including computer software, made available through the websites and web pages that link to, or are linked from, POPSMASH or our other Services. For example:

• We do not have any control over those websites and are not responsible for their contents or their use.
• The existence of a link to or from one of our Services does not represent or imply that we endorse such website.
• You are responsible for taking precautions as necessary to protect yourself and your computer systems from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content.
• We disclaim any responsibility for any harm resulting from non-POPSMASH websites.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Wherever possible, we leverage artificial intelligence (AI), for example, to speed up content creation for users. It is your responsibility to review all AI-generated content for errors or any other issues. We do not take any responsibility for any issues with AI content. If you have issues with AI or AI-generated content produced, then our products may not suit your needs.

Quizzes and Personalized Product Recommendations

Our products help merchants and other users create product recommendation quizzes in order to make personalized product recommendations for their customers. We recommend that all users review all quiz content for accuracy before publishing. We do not take responsibility for any inaccuracies or quality issues related to quizzes. We also do not take responsibility for the resulting products recommended by those quizzes. You take full responsibility for the quizzes used on your site.

Opting in to Campaigns & Quizzess

As a user, when you take a quiz or opt-in to a campaign (for example, by providing your email address) you are consenting to receive personalized recommendations from a quiz and/or join the host's customer list and receive communications (marketing or otherwise) from the merchant.

Responsibility and CAN-SPAM Act Compliance for POPSMASH Customers

Campaigns are meant to effectively grow a high-value audience. As a result, you will obtain contact information (for example email addresses) for those who have opted into your campaign. The right to communicate with someone is a privilege which should not be abused. We reserve the right to discontinue our Services for any individual at our discretion, particularly if we believe they are participating in 'spammy' behavior. This includes, but is not limited to, failing to abide by the guidelines set form in the CAN-SPAM Act guidelines.

Fees, Payment & Renewal

POPSMASH Fees

Fees for Paid Services. Some of our Services are offered for a fee, such as some POPSMASH plans, and some additional Services (collectively, “Paid Services”). By using a Paid Service, you agree to pay the specified fees (for example, fees associated with specific features). Depending on the Paid Service, there may be one-time fees, recurring fees, follower-based fees, revenue-based fees or other fees. For recurring fees, we’ll bill or charge you in regular automatically-renewing intervals (such as monthly, annually, or biennially), on a pre-pay basis until you cancel, which you can do at any time by logging in to your Account or by contacting the relevant support team. For revenue-based fees you pay us a percentage of the revenue you generate. Revenue-based fees are ongoing.

Taxes. To the extent permitted by law, or unless explicitly stated otherwise, all fees are exclusive of applicable federal, provincial, state, local or other governmental sales, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges now in force or enacted in the future (“Taxes”). You are responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes relating to your use of our Services, your payments, or your purchases. If we are obligated to pay or collect Taxes on the Fees you’ve paid or will pay, you are responsible for such Taxes, and we may collect payment for such Taxes.

Payment. If your payment fails or if Paid Services are otherwise not paid for or paid for on time, we may immediately cancel or revoke your access to the Paid Services. If you contact your bank or credit card company to decline or reverse the charge of fees for Paid Services, we may revoke your access to our Services in general.

Automatic Renewal. To ensure uninterrupted service, recurring Paid Services are automatically renewed. This means that unless you cancel a Paid Service before the end of the applicable subscription period, it will automatically renew, and you authorize us to invoice you or use any payment mechanism we have on record for you to collect the then-applicable subscription fee (as well as any Taxes). By default, your Paid Services will be renewed for the same interval of time as your original subscription period. For example, if you purchase a POPSMASH annual plan, you will be charged each year for the following 12-month period. We may charge your account up to one month before the end of the subscription period. It is your responsibility to make sure you are checking your email (including any spam or other filters) in order to receive any reminder email we may send to you in advance of renewal. The date for the automatic renewal is determined automatically based on the date of the original purchase and cannot be changed. You can view your renewal date for POPSMASH Paid Services by visiting your POPSMASH account page.

Cancelling Automatic Renewal. You can manage and cancel your Paid Services at the respective Service’s site. For example, you can manage all of your POPSMASH plans through your POPSMASH account page. To cancel a POPSMASH plan, go to your account page then follow the instructions to cancel the subscription. You must repeat this process for each subscription you wish to cancel.

Fee Changes. We may change our fees at any time, or start charging fees for Services that were previously free. When applicable, we may give you advance notice of the fee changes. If you don’t agree with the fee changes, you must cancel your Paid Service.

Refunds. While you may cancel a Paid Service at any time, refunds are issued in our sole discretion, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

General Representation & Warranty

• Will be in strict accordance with these Terms;

We do not claim ownership of your content that you post on or through the Service. When you give us access to content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like posts, photos or videos) on or in connection with our Service, you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content.

This license also allows POPSMASH to make any publicly-posted Content available to third parties selected by POPSMASH so that these third parties can analyze the Content and associated data (for example, campaign performance metrics) through their services. You also give other POPSMASH users permission to share your Content.

If you believe that material located on or associated with a POPSMASH product or service violates your copyright, please notify us. We will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material. We will terminate a visitor’s access to and use of the page if, under appropriate circumstances, the visitor is determined to be a repeat infringer of the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of POPSMASH or others. In the case of such termination, we will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid to us.

Changes

We are constantly updating our Services and that means sometimes we have to change the legal terms under which our Services are offered. These Terms may only be modified by a written amendment by an authorized executive of POPSMASH, or by the posting by POPSMASH of a revised version. If you disagree with our changes, then you should stop using our Services. Your continued use of our Services will be subject to the new terms. However, any dispute that arose before the changes shall be governed by the Terms (including the binding individual arbitration clause) that were in place when the dispute arose.

Termination

We may terminate your access to all or any part of our Services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. We have the right (though not the obligation) to, in our sole discretion, (i) reclaim your username or associated items due to  inactivity, (ii) refuse or remove any content that, in our reasonable opinion, violates any POPSMASH policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, (iii) ask you to make some adjustments, restrict the resources you use, or terminate your Services, if we believe your usage is out of hand and/or burdens our systems (which is rare), or (iv) terminate or deny access to and use of any of our Services to any individual or entity for any reason. We will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.

If you wish to terminate the Agreement or your POPSMASH account, you may simply discontinue using our Services, or, if you are using a paid service, you may cancel at any time, subject to the Fees, Payment, and Renewal section in these Terms.
