12. Service Specific Terms

a. The Service’s functionality and supply of information relies on third parties’ supply of information to Notified. Consequently, Notified can in no way be held responsible for reduced information supply due to a third party’s adjusted information channels or if a third party by other means denies Notified from accessing information by, for example, limiting or adjusting the possibility of crawling third party content or closes (or reduces) access to third party’s API.

b. Please note that information about/from journalists or influencers is collected by use of publicly available sources and are suggestions for relevant contacts. Customer may need to approach these individuals to collect their consent prior to using their material in order to secure i) Customer’s right to use the material, and ii) lawful processing of personal data found in their material, or otherwise in relation thereto.

c. The Service may allow for your creation of various marketing reports, business analysis reports, and other types of aggregated, or compiled, information, which serve to illustrate for example market reach and brand development. Any such material retrieved from and/or created by, or by information provided by, the Service (such as marketing reports and/or statistics) may be used for Customer’s internal purposes only, except for when explicitly approved by Notified.

d. Notified is constantly improving the Service, and may introduce new features, change existing features, or remove features from the Site and Service at any time and without notice. If Customer provides us with feedback, comments, or suggestions regarding the Site and Service, Customer grants Notified the right to use such material for any purpose, without payment.

e. Notified takes pride in supplying a well-functioning Service. However, for technical or other reasons, the Service may, from time to time, not work as intended (such as fail to deliver messages at a certain time, delete content, fail to save, or in any other way temporarily be unavailable). Notified will make due efforts to limit these events, yet Notified shall not be held responsible for any damage that may arise as the result of a failure in delivery of the Service.

Notified Terms & Conditions

Invoicing

Payment terms shall be as set forth in the Agreement. The applicable currency will be stated in the Order Form. Unless specified otherwise in the Order Form, Notified shall bill for the entirety of the Service term in advance and Customer will pay for Services within 30 days of the applicable invoice date. If Customer uses features not listed in the Order Form, Customer will be charged for such features as provided for in the Agreement. In the event that the Services provided under the Order Form remain active beyond the end of the Order Form Term and Customer uses the Services after such time, Customer shall pay Notified the monthly subscription costs set forth herein for any month (or portion thereof) during which Customer uses the Services beyond the Order Form Term. In addition to the rates for the Services listed in the Order Form, Customer shall pay all applicable fees, duties, tolls, administrative assessments, surcharges, or taxes now or hereafter attributable to the Services and included on Customer’s invoice. Notified will assess any applicable fees, duties, tolls, administrative assessments, surcharges, or taxes, based on the geographic location of the billing address of the billing contact in the Notified billing system. Should Notified not have an address for the billing contact, then fees, duties, tolls, administrative assessments, surcharges, or taxes will be applied based on the geographic location provided at the account level in the Notified billing system. In the event Customer is required by law to make any deductions or to withhold from Customer’s payment to Notified, Customer shall pay Notified such additional amounts so that the net amount Notified receives from Customer is equal to the full amount for the charges which Notified would have received from Customer had such withholding not been made.

Pricing

From time to time, Notified may offer promotional prices for new customers. Any such promotional prices apply exclusively to the Initial Term. Upon renewal, Customers hereby agree to be charged the standard price for the Service as set out by Notified’s standard price list, as updated at the time of the renewal.

Notified shall not increase the prices for Services purchased as part of a committed, annual subscription during the initial term of any Order Form. Thereafter, Notified may, effective on the first day of January each year adjust, or change the basis for calculating any Service Fees on not less than ninety (90) days’ prior notice to the Client. Any rate modification will not be applied to the applicable Services until the Order Form’s next renewal date, unless otherwise specified in the notice of pricing adjustment. Customer may cancel the relevant Service if Notified increases its Service Fees for such Service by more than ten percent (10%) in any year; provided that, for Customer to exercise this right to cancel or otherwise dispute the rate increase, Customer must notify Notified in writing within thirty (30) days of the date of Notified’s increase notice. The relevant Service shall then be cancelled from the date on which the Service Fees would have increased.
