12. TERM AND TERMINATION

12.1 Term. These Terms of Service shall commence upon Customer’s first use of the Services or acceptance of these Terms of Service (whichever comes first) and shall continue in effect for the period specified on the applicable Service Order (the “Service Term“).

12.2 Renewal Term.  Each Service Order shall continue for the Service Term specified therein, and will AUTOMATICALLY RENEW for subsequent terms (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either party provides at least thirty (30) calendar days written notice of non-renewal prior to the expiration of the then-current Service Term or Renewal Term that it elects not to renew the Services.

12.3 Termination by Customer. A request to terminate the Services from Customer to Emotive must be emailed to renewals@emotive.io, which must be confirmed by Emotive. Customer must notify Emotive in writing at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the end of the Service Term or any Renewal Term, as applicable.  Customer will continue to have access to the Services and be billed until the end of the then-current Service Term or Renewal Term. Customer shall not receive a refund for any unused portion of the Service Term or Renewal Term. In the case Customer fails to timely notify Emotive of its intent not to renew, a Renewal Term will commence at the end of the then-current term and Customer is responsible for the payment of Fees for the Services rendered for that Renewal Term. Customer shall not in any event be entitled to any refund of any Fees previously paid to Emotive for Services.

12.4 Termination by Emotive. Emotive shall have the right to terminate these Terms of Service or any Service Order at any time with or without cause and with or without notice, at Emotive’s sole discretion. In addition, Emotive may terminate these Terms of Service or any Service Order upon written notice to Customer if Customer becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, or liquidation for the benefit of creditors. Upon a termination by Emotive without cause, Customer may be entitled to a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid and unused Fees advanced to Emotive.

12.5 Termination by Emotive for Past Due Bills. In the event of a credit card decline, Emotive will attempt to reach out to Customer for a new payment method. If Emotive fails to resolve the issue with Customer, the account will be terminated due to non-payment and Emotive will attempt to collect on any past due balances at Customer’s expense. 

12.6 Consequences of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms of Service, a Service Order, and/or the Services, for any reason whatsoever, Customer shall cease to use the Emotive Platform, the Services and Emotive Documentation. Emotive retains the right to terminate Customer’s access to any Emotive Platform and Services in the event of termination by either party.

12.7 Data Deletion, Preservation, Retrieval or Transfer. In the event of a temporary suspension of Customer’s access to Services, (i) Emotive will not take any action to intentionally erase or delete Customer Data stored on the Services; and (ii) applicable Fees will continue to accrue. In the event Customer becomes inactive due to past-due amounts, Customer agrees that Emotive may delete all End Customer Data after a period of sixty (60) calendar days. In the event of the expiration or earlier termination of these Terms of Service and/or a Service Order, Customer may, upon reasonable notice to Emotive, elect to retrieve Customer Data using the self-service tools Emotive makes available to Customer. If these Terms of Service and/or a Service Order are terminated for any reason other than Customer’s breach, Emotive will not take any action to intentionally erase or delete Customer Data stored on the Services for a period of sixty (60) calendar days, after which Emotive will delete the End Customer Data. If these Terms of Service are terminated on account of Customer’s breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Service and/or a Service Order, Emotive will not take any action to intentionally erase or delete Customer Marketing Content or Customer Data stored on the Services for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days, or for sixty (60) calendar days with respect to customer Communications, after which Emotive will delete End Customer Data. In each case, Customer’s post-termination retrieval or transfer of Customer Data will be conditioned on Emotive’s receipt of all applicable Fees for the period following termination, payment in full of any other amounts owed, and Customer’s compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as Emotive may establish with respect to such retrieval or transfer. In addition, if Customer utilizes the professional services of Emotive to assist Customer in connection with such retrieval or transfer, Customer will be responsible for Emotive’s then current charges for such professional services. In the event that Emotive does not receive all such Fees and amounts due within the applicable time periods described above, or in the event that Customer fails to notify Emotive of Customer’s election with respect to the retrieval or transfer of Customer Data within such period, Emotive shall have no obligation to continue to store Customer Data or permit Customer to retrieve or transfer the same.

Emotive will respond to requests to transfer or delete End Customer Data only to the extent such requests are addressed to Emotive from an email address from the email domain that is the same as the domain associated with Customer’s Emotive account. To the extent the request does not originate from the specific email address associated with Customer’s Emotive account (“Authorized Email”), Emotive will notify Customer of the request at Authorized Email, and Emotive will deem such request valid unless it receives a response within five (5) business days from the Authorized Email objecting to the request. Emotive will deem valid any request addressed to Emotive from the Authorized Email, and Customer is solely responsible for the validity of all requests or communications addressed to Emotive from the Authorized Email.

12.8 Survival. The following shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service: (i) all liabilities accrued under these Terms of Service prior to the effective date of termination; and (ii) all provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7, 4, 5.2, 5.7, 5.8, 6, 7, 8.2, 9, 11, 12.4, 12.5, 12.6, 13 and 14 of these Terms of Service.

14.1 Marketing. Customer agrees that Emotive may refer to Customer by name and trademark in Emotive’s marketing materials and web site. Customer understands and acknowledges that Emotive does not certify or endorse, and has no obligation to certify or endorse, any of Customer’s products or content.

14.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms of Service, any Additional Policies, and any applicable Service Order(s) set forth the complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings and communications relating thereto. No term or condition of any other document provided to Emotive which is different from, inconsistent with, or in addition to the terms and conditions set forth herein will be binding upon Emotive.

14.3 Modification; Waiver. Emotive shall have the right to amend these Terms of Service at any time, effective upon posting of an updated version of these Terms of Service at www.emotive.io/terms. Emotive may, but, unless required by law, is not obligated to, use reasonable efforts to provide Customer with notice of changes to these Terms of Service, but Customer is responsible for regularly checking the Emotive Site to be informed of such changes. Continued use of the Services after any such changes are posted shall constitute Customer’s agreement to such changes. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of such party to avail itself of any right, power or privilege that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege. 

14.4 Governing Law. These Terms of Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, provided that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement discussed in section 14.12. Unless you and Emotive agree otherwise in writing, in the event that the arbitration agreement is found not to apply to you or a particular claim (except for small claims court actions), as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that the claim will be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Los Angeles, California. You and Emotive agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within California for the purposes of litigating such claims. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Your use of the Services may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.

14.5 Assignment. Customer may not assign its rights or delegate any obligations hereunder without the express prior written consent of Emotive. Any assignment by Customer without the prior written consent of Emotive shall be null and void. Emotive may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without notice or consent; provided, however, that the Services shall continue to operate as specified in these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service shall inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns.

14.6 Force Majeure. If either party is unable to perform any of its obligations hereunder (other than payment obligations) due to any act of God, fire, casualty, flood, war, strike, shortage or any other cause beyond its reasonable control, and if such party uses reasonable efforts to avoid such occurrence and minimize its duration and gives prompt notice to the other party, then the affected party’s performance shall be excused and the time for its performance shall be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform. If the force majeure continues for more than thirty (30) calendar days, then either party may terminate these Terms of Service for convenience upon written notice to the other party. 

14.7 Severability. In the event that any provision contained herein shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, to such extent such provision shall be deemed null and void and severed from these Terms of Service, and the remainder hereof shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

14.8 Independent Contractor. Neither Customer nor Emotive shall be deemed to be an agent of the other and the relationship of Customer and Emotive shall be that of independent contractors. Neither Customer nor Emotive shall have any right or authority to assume any obligations, or to make any representations or warranties, whether express or implied, on behalf of the other party, or to bind the other party in any matter whatsoever.

14.9 Notices. Except as otherwise provided, notices under these Terms of Service shall be delivered by email addressed to the other party at such address as is set forth in the applicable Service Order or such other email address as Customer may provide to Emotive. Such notice will be deemed to have been given as of the date it is delivered by electronic mail, personally, by confirmed facsimile or by courier, or five (5) days after it is sent by postal mail. All communications and notices to be made or given pursuant to these Terms of Service shall be in the English language.

14.10 Compliance with Laws. Customer agrees to comply at all times with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to Customer’s use of the Services, including but not limited to data privacy laws and legal requirements.

14.11 Headings. The headings of the sections of these Terms of Service are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing these Terms of Service. 

14.12 Arbitration. In any claim, action or proceeding to enforce any right or obligation of the parties under these Terms of Service including, without limitation, relating to your use of our services, you hereby waive any right you may now have or hereafter possess to a trial by jury. Both parties agree to resolve any dispute either Party may have arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the Emotive Services in good faith mediation. In the event no mutual agreement is made under mediation within sixty (60) days of notice of such dispute, the Parties have the right to resolve such dispute via arbitration before a single arbitrator pursuant to the then-current Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The arbitrator may award any relief available under applicable law including but not limited to an award of attorneys’ fees, this agreement to arbitrate does not interfere with either party’s right to file a claim with a state or federal agency with jurisdiction thereof to the extent permitted by applicable law. Even if allowed under AAA rules, no class or collective action or arbitration may be brought against Emotive hereunder unless required by applicable law. If either you or Emotive intends to seek arbitration under these Terms of Service, the party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating the arbitration. Notice to Emotive should be sent as required by these Terms of Service. The notice must describe the nature of the claim and the relief being sought. If you and Emotive are unable to resolve our dispute within 30 days, either party may then proceed to file a claim for arbitration. The arbitration, information produced, and pre-and post-hearing proceedings will be confidential and any award shall not be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.

14.13 Class Action Waiver. Any claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator shall not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the arbitration agreement in Section 14.12, if otherwise effective, shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

Phone Number Lead Generation

1. OPT OUTS. If a phone number or email “opt outs” from receiving further text message or email communication, the Customer is still responsible for paying the Service Fees for the phone number acquired as defined in the “Service Order Form: Phone Number Lead Generation”.
