  1. Accounts.
    1. Users.You are permitted to access portions of the Site without establishing a user account on the Site, provided that you have agreed to this Terms of Use. However, access to and use of certain portions of the Site may require that you establish a user account (an “Account”). Approval of your request to establish an Account will be at the sole discretion of FullContact. If you are the Account Authority (as defined below), you may authorize designated individuals to use and access the Site on your behalf through your Account (you and each such individual, as applicable, a “User” of your Account). If an Account is only associated with you, then you may use and access the Site through your Account as the sole User of the Account. Each user identification and password for your Account (each, “Account ID”) is personal in nature and may be used only by you or, as applicable, the User to whom the Account ID is issued.
    2. Account Registration. In connection with establishing an Account, you will be asked to submit certain information about you and, as applicable, your organization (“Registration Information”). You agree that: (i) all such information that you provide will be accurate, complete, and current; (ii) you will maintain and promptly update all such information to keep it accurate, complete, and current; and (iii) you will not provide any information belonging to another person or organization with the intent to impersonate that person or organization. Before posting any Registration Information of Users associated with your Account, you are responsible for obtaining any and all authorizations required by federal or state law to authorize the sharing of their Registration Information, including their personal information, on the Site.  FullContact is not liable for any invasion of privacy or other claim that may be asserted by Users of your Account as a result of your posting of Registration Information regarding Users of your Account on the Site and the subsequent sharing of that information with other Users as described in the Privacy Policy. By providing Registration Information, you authorize FullContact to disclose such information as described in the Privacy Policy
    3. Responsibilities. You are solely responsible for all access to and use of your Account (whether authorized or unauthorized), including all Services accessed through your Account. FullContact may deem any actions taken through your Account to have been authorized by you. You are responsible for compliance, and the compliance any other Users of Your User Account, with this Terms of Use. You will ensure the security and confidentiality of each Account ID and will notify FullContact immediately if any Account ID is lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised. You acknowledge that you are fully responsible for all costs, fees, liabilities, or damages incurred, and material transferred, stored, modified, or shared through the use of each Account ID (whether lawful or unlawful). You acknowledge that any orders made or other transactions completed through your Account will be deemed to have been lawfully completed by you. In no event will FullContact be liable for the foregoing obligations or the failure by you to fulfill such obligations.
    4. Account Authority. If an Account is associated with multiple Users, then the individual who establishes your Account (the “Account Authority”) will have control over your Account. If an Account is only associated with you, then you will be the Account Authority for your Account, unless you designate a different Account Authority as specified below. FullContact may deem the Account Authority to have full authority for all decisions relating to your Account, including: (i) addition or removal of Users; (ii) permissions to access your Account; (iii) disputes regarding your Account; (iv) notices and other communications relating to your Account; and (v) any other decisions that may be required regarding your Account.

If an initial Account Authority is not designated, the individual requesting to establish an Account shall be deemed the initial Account Authority for that Account. The Account Authority may be changed: (a) by an email sent to FullContact from the registered email address of the current Account Authority; (b) by written notice provided to FullContact; or (c) as separately directed and acknowledged by FullContact. It is your responsibility to properly designate a new Account Authority whenever appropriate. In the event of a dispute where multiple persons claim to be the rightful Account Authority, FullContact reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to: (1) suspend all access to your Account until an Account Authority is properly designated to FullContact’s sole satisfaction; or (2) terminate your Account and delete your Registration Information.

    2. Arbitration Agreement and Jury Trial Waiver, Class Action Waiver, And Forum Selection Clause. All controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and FullContact arising out of, under, or related in any way to this Terms of Use or our privacy practices, shall exclusively be settled through binding arbitration.
      1. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by this Terms of Use, and unless agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “Rules and Procedures”).
      2. You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
      3. You and FullContact must abide by the following rules: (a) for any claim that could otherwise be brought in small claims court, the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on written submissions and, if the arbitrator deems it appropriate, a telephonic hearing; (b) if the claim exceeds what can be recovered in a small claims court, the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on written submissions or a telephonic hearing, unless the arbitrator deems a face-to-face hearing is appropriate, in which case one should be held at a location agreed to by you and FullContact, and if the parties cannot agree on a location for the hearing, the arbitrator will determine a location for the proceedings which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances; (c) the arbitrator’s ruling is binding and not merely advisory; (d) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR FULLCONTACT MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (e) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING; (f) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, FullContact will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (g) FullContact also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration; (h) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (i) a decision by the arbitrator (including any finding of fact or conclusion of law) against either you or FullContact shall be confidential unless otherwise required to be disclosed by law or by any administrative body and may not be collaterally used against either of them in existing or subsequent litigation or arbitration involving any other person/FullContact customer; and (j) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees’ and litigation expenses.
      4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or FullContact may bring an individual action in small claims court. In addition, if you are a user outside of the United States, the Privacy Policy (Dispute Resolution for Users Outside of the United States), and not this arbitration provision, shall apply to any disputes related to privacy. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration provision. Such claims shall be exclusively brought (unless such courts do not have personal jurisdiction in the dispute) in the state or federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado. Additionally, notwithstanding this arbitration provision, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before such courts in order to maintain the status quo pending the arbitrator’s ruling, and hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
      5. With the exception of subparts (d) and (e) in the paragraph above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either subpart (d) or (e) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor FullContact shall be entitled to arbitration. In the event this arbitration provision is held unenforceable by a court, or in the event AAA refuses to arbitrate the dispute, all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and FullContact shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado.
      6. For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at https://www.adr.org.
    3. Choice of Law. The Terms of Use is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
    4. Entire Agreement. Unless you later enter into any other agreements with FullContact regarding the Site, Services, or FullContact, this Terms of Use is the complete and exclusive agreement between you and FullContact regarding your access to and use of the Site, Services, or FullContact Data. Except as provided above, this Terms of Use supersede any prior agreement or proposal, oral or written, and any other communications between you and FullContact relating to your use of the Site, Services, or FullContact Data. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Terms of Use shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word including means including without limitation. If any provision of this Terms of Use is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Terms of Use will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. FullContact will not be liable for any delay or non-performance of its obligations under this Terms of Use due to any cause beyond its control. Your relationship to FullContact is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. This Terms of Use, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without FullContact’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. The terms of this Terms of Use shall be binding upon assignees. There are no third party beneficiaries of this Terms of Use.
    5. Copyright/Trademark Information. Copyright © 2010-2019, FullContact, Inc. All rights reserved. All trademarks, logos and service marks (“Marks”) displayed on the Site are our property or the property of other third parties. You are not permitted to use these Marks without our prior written consent or the consent of such third party which may own the Marks.

    2. Restrictions. Developer acknowledges that the API and its structure, organization, and source code constitute valuable trade secrets of FullContact and its suppliers. Accordingly, Developer agrees not to disclose, distribute, sublicense, lease, rent, loan, resell or otherwise transfer the data received from the Service or API, the Service or API (other than those elements incorporated into the Developer App) or the API Key to any third party. Developer must reproduce, on all copies made by or for Developer, and must not remove, alter, or obscure in any way all proprietary rights notices (including copyright notices) of FullContact or its suppliers on or within the copies of the API. Developer will immediately notify FullContact if Developer becomes aware of any material breach relating to the API.
    3. Data Restrictions. Developer will not, and will require any and all third parties to which it provides any FullContact Data from the Service or the API (“Data Recipients”) to not, use such FullContact Data for the purposes of cookie tracking, ad exchanges, ad networks, data brokerages, sending electronic communications (including email) in violation of applicable law, or any other activity or purpose identified as prohibited by FullContact in any communication sent to Developer. If FullContact informs Developer that a specified activity or purpose is prohibited, Developer will ensure that any and all Data Recipients immediately cease processing of any such FullContact Data for the prohibited activity or purpose. If Developer is not subject to the laws based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) or Swiss Federal Data Protection law, Developer hereby agrees to either: (i) certify its compliance with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework administered by the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce (the “Privacy Shield“) or (ii) contractually agree to provide at least the same level of protection for personal data as is required by the relevant Privacy Shield principles. Strict compliance with this section is a condition of the license in this Terms of Use and a material requirement of this Addendum.
  3. Developer Apps.
    1. Submission. If requested by FullContact, Developer will submit to FullContact each Developer App that Developer distributes or plans to distribute, in accordance with the instructions on FullContact’s Site. Developer grants to FullContact a non-exclusive license to internally use, perform, display, reproduce, modify, and create derivative works of the Developer App to evaluate the Developer App during the term of this Addendum. FullContact may, at any time and in its sole discretion, notify Developer that Developer may no longer distribute a Developer App until such Developer App meets conditions specified by FullContact. Upon receipt of such notice, Developer shall promptly cease distribution of the Developer App until the Developer App meets such conditions, in FullContact’s judgment.
    2. App Policy. Developer is solely responsible and liable for the Developer App. Developer is solely responsible for supporting the Developer App. The Developer App must comply with the following (the “App Policy”): the Developer App may not: (i) violate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) violate any laws or regulations (including any privacy laws) or any obligations or restrictions imposed by any third party; (iii) be unlawful, harassing, abusive, tortious, threatening, harmful, invasive of another’s privacy, vulgar, defamatory, false, intentionally misleading, trade libelous, pornographic, obscene, or patently offensive, or promote racism, bigotry, hatred, or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual, or be otherwise objectionable; (iv) be harmful to minors in any way; (v) contain any computer viruses, worms, or any software intended to damage or alter a computer system or data; (vi) send unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any other form of duplicative or unsolicited messages, whether commercial or otherwise; or (vii) harvest, collect, gather or assemble information or data regarding other users, including e-mail addresses, without their consent.
    3. Minimum EULA Terms. The following constitute the “Minimum EULA Terms”: (i) the End User must accept FullContact’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy; (ii) title to and ownership of the API remains with FullContact and its suppliers; (iii) the End User may not: (a) copy, alter, or modify the API, (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or in any way attempt to derive the source code for the API, or (c) use the API except as embedded within the Developer App; (iv) all express and implied warranties regarding the API by FullContact and its licensors are disclaimed; (v) all consequential, special, and indirect damages are disclaimed on behalf of FullContact and its licensors; (vi) the End User must grant the Developer all rights (including consents and licenses) needed from the End User for Developer to grant FullContact the license to use its End User Contact Data (as described in the Terms of Use); and (vii) Developer’s privacy policy must comply with all applicable data privacy and security laws and must contain a notice that FullContact will collect, or receive from Developer, End User Contact Data and will process such data in accordance with FullContact’s Privacy Policy.
  4. Confidentiality. “Confidential Information” includes the API Key and API and any other materials of FullContact that FullContact designates as confidential or which Developer should reasonably believe to be confidential, including Third Party Access Tokens, and Account IDs. Developer shall hold FullContact’s Confidential Information in confidence and shall neither disclose such Confidential Information to third parties nor use FullContact’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as necessary to perform under this Addendum. Developer agrees to limit access to the Confidential Information to those employees, agents, and representatives who are necessary for Developer to perform its obligations under this Addendum. All such employees, agents, and representatives must have a written confidentiality agreement with Developer that is no less restrictive than the terms contained herein. Developer will protect the Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as Developer protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care. The foregoing restrictions on disclosure shall not apply to Confidential Information that is: (a) already known by Developer; (b) becomes, through no act or fault of Developer, publicly known; (c) received by Developer from a third party without a restriction on disclosure or use; or (d) independently developed by Developer without reference to FullContact’s Confidential Information.
  5. Term and Termination. This Addendum will remain in effect until the Developer’s subscription has expired or it has been terminated as provided in this Section. Developer may terminate this Addendum, effective immediately upon written notice to FullContact, if FullContact breaches any provision of this Addendum and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof. In addition to the rights granted to FullContact under the Terms of Use, FullContact may terminate this Addendum, effective immediately upon written notice to Developer, if Developer breaches any provision of this Addendum. Either party may terminate this Addendum for convenience upon providing sixty (60) days’ notice to the other party. Upon termination or expiration of this Addendum for any reason, all licensed rights granted in this Addendum to Developer will immediately cease to exist and Developer will irrecoverably delete any and all FullContact Data it received from the Service or the API. Developer’s obligation to pay any fees applicable to the balance of the Developer’s then-current subscription term, will survive any expiration or termination of this Addendum for any reason.
