Terms of Service

This Agreement regarding Terms of Service (the "Agreement") is entered into by Supernova Interactive, Inc. o/a SoCastSRM ("SoCast") and the client identified in the Licensing Agreement which is governed hereby (the "Client" or “You”). SoCast and Client agree as follows:

Acceptance

SoCast provides software, Facebook enabled applications, websites and other online services (the “Platform”) to enable its business clients (“Organizers”) to operate sweepstakes, contests, promotions, websites, website plugins, Facebook page apps, surveys, polls, and other market data gathering activities, collectively called Promotions or Services. SoCast applications and Services are designed to allow Organizers to engage end-users and gather personally identifiable information from end-users who choose to enter a particular Promotion together with anonymous data regarding the Promotion itself. This data is gathered and may be used by the Organizers for various marketing purposes.

By using the SoCast Software and associated applications, or running any Promotions with them, you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms of Service" or "Agreement"). These Terms of Service form a legally binding agreement between you and SoCast in relation to your use of the Services. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully. However, if you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with us, or you are a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws of Canada, the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services, then you may not use the Services and may not accept this Agreement. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Service at any time without further notice. If we do this, we will post changes to these Terms of Service. Your continued use of the Software applications and/or the Services after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Service, please do not use or access the Website or the Services. It is your responsibility to regularly review these Terms of Service.

Third-Party Services and Sites.

The SoCast Platform also includes social media tools that allow you to manage access, publish information, post content, and manage content on social network platforms (for example, Facebook, Twitter and other Client owned or controlled social networks and sites). These tools also allow you to use our Platform to access and analyze information found on social media sites. By using the SoCast Platform, you hereby grant us all required permissions to access such sites and provide this functionality. Promotion content may contain links to Organizers, Sponsors and/or third party websites that are not owned or controlled by SoCast, which may include, without limitation, social network platforms, social bookmarking services and other websites (each, a "Third Party Service"). These links and services are provided to you as a convenience, and we are not affiliated with or responsible for the content, action or performance of any linked website or Third-Party Service and you use such websites or services at your own risk. SoCast has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, terms of use, privacy policies, or practices of any Organizer or Sponsor's third party's websites or services. In addition, SoCast is not able to censor or edit the content of any third party website or service. While SoCast requests its Organizers, Sponsors and third parties to comply with international rules and regulations for advertising and marketing on the internet, as a practical matter, SoCast has no independent means to verify such content compliance. You expressly relieve SoCast from any and all liability arising from your failure to comply with applicable laws through your use of any third party website or service. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, you will abide by this Agreement regardless of anything to the contrary in your agreement with any third party and you shall not use such Third Party Service to avoid the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. We may terminate any Third Party Service's ability to interact with the SoCast Platform at any time, with or without notice, and in our sole discretion, with no liability to you or to the third party. Any Third Party Service may take actions to impact our ability to make available some or all of the features of the Platform at any time, with or without notice, and we will not be liable to you or to the third party for any such actions. We accept no responsibility for reviewing changes or updates to, or the quality, content, policies, nature or reliability of, any Third Party Services. In no event shall any reference to any third party or third party product or Third Party Service be construed as an approval or endorsement by us of that third party or of any product or service provided by such third party.

Reporting and Revisions

Use of SoCast Platform analytics and social reporting features could include technical, factual, typographical, or statistical errors. SoCast does not warrant that any of the materials available on or generated by the Platform are accurate, complete, or current. SoCast may revise and make changes to the Platform, data, or reporting features at any time without notice. SoCast does not, however, make any commitment to update the Platform and associated content, which are delivered on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis.

Email Database

The SoCast Platform may require permission from the Client to access Client’s membership email database for the purpose of sending informational and/or commercial e-mail communications to end-users who have opted-in to receive such e-mails, and your use of the Platform shall constitute acknowledgement of such access rights. You agree to import, access or otherwise use only contact lists for which all listed parties have consented to receive correspondence from you, in compliance with applicable law, in connection with your use of the Platform. You agree not to use any other contact lists in connection with your use of the Platform. Clients are not permitted to send unsolicited marketing or promotional e-mails, and are required to obtain opt-in consent from end-users, prior to sending a commercial e-mail to the end-user’s e-mail address. You agree to abide by all Anti-Spam Policies and legislation in accordance with the terms of use of the Platform and as required by law. By using the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that you have sole legal control, responsibility and liability for compliance with any such laws. You also agree that SoCast will not be liable to you or any third party for any unauthorized use of the Platform, including, but not limited to the use of email databases not optimized for permission-based communications.

Maintenance

As part of keeping the Platform technology updated and functional, SoCast may perform Routine Maintenance and Urgent Maintenance (collectively "Maintenance"). SoCast will need to perform routine enhancements, upgrades and maintenance ("Routine Maintenance") of the Platform and/or Product(s) that will or is likely to result in the downtime of the Platform and/or Product(s), during which all or certain functions of the Platform and/or Product(s) will not be available. If SoCast determines that immediate maintenance on the Platform and/or Product(s) is required ("Urgent Maintenance"), SoCast can perform such Urgent Maintenance at any time and for any period of time (as determined by SoCast).
