Effective as of October 19, 2022
Welcome to Zeeto! These terms of use (“Terms”) as well as any subsequent service
orders (“Service Orders”) are entered into as of October 19, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) by ZeetoGroup, LLC, (“Zeeto,” “we,” “us,” or “our,”) and the person or entity, that executes or accepts these Terms electronically (“Client,” “you,” or “your”) or successor entity, agency, or network acting on Client’s behalf. As used herein, “Parties” means you and Zeeto. For clarity, typical clients include, but are not limited to call centers, companies looking to drive web traffic to their website, emailers, pollsters, consumer researchers, advertisers, companies looking to supplement their customer profiles, and direct mailers. By using the services (“Services”; as further described in the Services section below), Client agrees to these Terms as well as any other applicable Zeeto policies and such policies are incorporated herein by this reference (these Terms and all applicable policies, collectively, the “Agreement”). If in conflict, agreements signed after the Terms between Zeeto and Client shall control. In case of conflict with policies, the Terms take precedence.
1. Services. Services may include Zeeto’s software, access to Zeeto’s platform (“Platform”), third party software, third party services, and data, which allow Client to configure and manage campaigns (“Campaigns”; as further defined below) within the Platform. Products include advertising, polling, data supplementation, and consumer or market research. Zeeto may launch new products and may update the Agreement accordingly. All of Client’s Campaigns will be governed by this Agreement. A Campaign is each of Client’s configurations of a product including creatives, content, and linked content. Active and eligible Campaigns compete in real-time auctions on certain publishers’ websites, applications, mobile sites, or other properties owned by such publishers (collectively, “Network”). All participating publishers in the Network are required to sign our partner agreement which obligates them to assume liability for adherence to our guidelines and requirements. In connection with the Services, Client shall pay Zeeto for all billable transactions (“Payable Action”) as described within the Payment section of this Agreement and as set forth within the settings of Client’s Platform account or the applicable Service Order.
2. Applicable Use. Client may only use the Services as expressly permitted by this Agreement and Applicable Law (defined below). Client shall be solely responsible and liable for all usage of and activity on Client’s account, including any approvals, postings, pricings, breaches, violations, usage of the products, or bidding errors. Client will immediately notify Zeeto upon discovery of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of Client’s account. Zeeto may conduct audits from time to time to determine Client’s compliance with this Agreement. Zeeto reserves the right to limit Client’s access or revoke access to the Platform at any time and for any reason.
Client may not use the Services, Platform, or any data provided by Zeeto for or in connection with:
Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement, Client will not be permitted to use sales leads provided by Zeeto under this Agreement, for any other advertising purposes than as provided herein and except as explicitly disclosed to consumers, without Zeeto’s prior consent in writing. This includes, but is not limited to, receiving phone calls and sending text/SMS messages to those sales leads. Client will not be permitted to resell sales leads to any third party, including aged data.
3. Creatives. In connection with the Services, Zeeto may distribute Client’s proprietary, including online display ads, copy, text, questions, banners, buttons, graphic files, logos, trademarks, copyrights and similar media (collectively, “Creatives”). Client shall be solely responsible and liable for all Creatives either provided to Zeeto or uploaded in Client’s Platform account, including the content contained therein and the consequences of display on the Network, and Client agrees to indemnify and hold Zeeto harmless for any damages or attorneys’ fees arising from usage or display of Client’s Creatives and Campaigns. Client grants to Zeeto a non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sub- licensable right and license to use, reproduce, display, transmit, and distribute the Creatives for the purpose of performance of this Agreement. No material changes shall be made to the Creatives without Client’s prior consent, and in all events, Client shall be solely responsible and liable for all Creatives. A material change means any substantial change in content that would significantly change the purpose and meaning of the Creatives. Zeeto reserves the right and without liability to reject, exclude, or terminate any Creatives for any reason at any time.
Client may provide details about each Campaign, including the Campaign length, the Campaign budget, and any other information and settings configurable within the Platform or in an applicable Service Order. Client’s Creatives and Campaign details displayed within the Platform will be made available for Zeeto to place on the Network; however, placing Client’s Campaign on the Platform does not guarantee placement on the Network. Client may choose to pause any Campaign at any time by doing so via the Platform.
Client agrees that, in providing Zeeto with the ability to publish and distribute the Creatives, Campaigns, and/or other material, Internet users may link through such Campaigns on the Platform to content designated by Client, Zeeto is acting only as a passive conduit for the distribution and publishing of such Campaigns, and Zeeto has not reviewed the Creatives or Campaigns for regulatory compliance. Zeeto makes no warranties, and expressly disclaims any and all warranties, regarding the Creatives or Campaigns. Zeeto reserves the right to reject any content or pause any Campaign for any reason at our sole discretion.
Once a Campaign is activated in the Platform, it begins participating in a live auction and may incur billable purchase activity in the form of Payable Actions. If a Campaign enters an auction and wins, meaning the consumer converted, Client is responsible to pay Zeeto if a Payable Action occurs. Payable Actions are based on a Campaign’s rate type and are completed in real time. Thus, Zeeto cannot issue refunds or credits due to errors, scrubs, or instances of receiving duplicate data after the fact.
4. Client Representations and Warranties. Client represents and warrants:
