These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your (“Client”, “you”, or “your”) access to and use of the services, including our various websites, APIs, email notifications, applications, buttons, widgets, (the “Services”), and any information, text, graphics, photos or other materials uploaded, downloaded or appearing on the Services (collectively referred to as “Content”). Your access to and use of the Services are conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. By accessing or using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms.
You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with Snappic Incorporated (“Snappic”) and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations.
The Services that Snappic provides are always evolving and the form and nature of the Services that Snappic provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you. In addition, Snappic may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services (or any features within the Services) to you or to users generally and may not be able to provide you with prior notice. We also retain the right to create limits on use and storage at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice to you.
Snappic is a platform that allows individuals or businesses (“Seller(s)”) to advertise, market and sell goods and services to interested buyers (“Customer(s)”) through social media services, such as Facebook and Instagram.
Snappic may make changes to the Service (including discontinuation of all or part of the Service) at any time. In the event of a material change, Snappic will provide notice to Client of such changes in accordance with this Agreement. If Client does not wish to continue to use the modified Service, Client’s sole remedy is to terminate the Agreement by providing written notice to Snappic, and Snappic will refund to Client any prepaid amounts for Services not performed as of the termination date.
Snappic has absolute discretion as to where and how often Ads will be displayed within the Network. For instance, ads may be displayed next to ads of Client’s competitors, or on websites, and mobile and tablet applications that are undesirable to Client. Snappic will use commercially reasonable efforts not to display Ads on websites, or mobile or tablet applications that it determines to be pornographic, defamatory, obscene or illegal in nature. If Client notifies Snappic in writing that Ads are being displayed in this manner, Snappic will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Ads.
Certain parts of the Service require the creation of a user account with third parties in order to provide their products or services on the Snappic Platform. Client will review any applicable terms before participating in any part of the Service to which such terms apply. Client agrees that Snappic may accept certain third party terms and conditions as agent on Client's behalf where necessary for Snappic to perform Services requested by Client, for example, terms related to running campaigns on Facebook Website Custom Audiences. Links to or copies of any such terms will be provided upon request.
Snappic may offer a free trial for first-time clients from time to time. At the conclusion of the free trial, the account will automatically continue as a paid account, unless Client stops the account at least 24 hours in advance of the free trial’s conclusion. Client is responsible for all costs that occur beyond the policies for free trial.
Snappic has no obligation to provide updates or other support for the Service. In the event that Snappic provides Service updates to Client, Client will integrate the updates within 30 days.
Agencies entering into Services on behalf of their clients represent that they have the authority to act on behalf of such clients with respect to all obligations and representations set forth in this Agreement. Agency accepts responsibility for the actions of its client Accounts and liability for all expenses incurred through the provision of Services to its clients. Agency clients may request at any time that their Account be migrated to another agency or to direct Client Account with Snappic.

Please read this section carefully since it limits the liability of Snappic and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners, and licensors (collectively, the “Snappic Entities“). Each of the subsections below only applies up to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties or the limitation of liability in contracts, and as a result the contents of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in this section is intended to limit any rights you may have which may not be lawfully limited.

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION SHALL APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE SNAPPIC ENTITIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Governing Law; Disputes. These Terms of Use shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without reference to their rules regarding conflicts of law. You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in California in all disputes arising out of or related to the use of the Site or Service. If you are a federal, state, or local government entity in the United States using the Services in your official capacity and legally unable to accept the controlling law, jurisdiction or venue clauses above, then those clauses do not apply to you. For such U.S. federal government entities, these Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the United States of America (without reference to conflict of laws) and, in the absence of federal law and to the extent permitted under federal law, the laws of the State of California (excluding choice of law). Any claim under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred. Claims made under the separate terms and conditions of purchase for goods and services are not subject to this limitation. No recovery may be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses, except that the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees. In the event of any controversy or dispute between Snappic and you arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, the parties shall attempt, promptly and in good faith, to resolve any such dispute. If we are unable to resolve any such dispute within a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days), then either party may submit such controversy or dispute to mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, then the parties shall be free to pursue any right or remedy available to them under applicable law.
Class Action Waiver; Both parties agree to resolve any disputes, claims or controversies on an individual basis, and that any claims arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Snappic Materials, or any services provided by Snappic will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
Severability; Waiver. The failure of Snappic to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
No Agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.
Force Majeure. Neither party will be responsible for any failure or delay in its performance under this Agreement (other than performance of payment obligations) due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, internet or telecommunications failures, shortages of or inability to obtain labor, energy, or supplies, war, terrorism, riot, acts of God or governmental action, acts by hackers or other malicious third parties and problems with the Internet generally, and such performance shall be excused to the extent that it is prevented or delayed by reason of any of the foregoing.
Entire Agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire and exclusive agreement between Snappic and you regarding the Services (excluding any services for which you have a separate agreement with Snappic that is explicitly in addition or in place of these Terms), and these Terms supersede and replace any prior agreements between Snappic and you regarding the Services.
We may revise these Terms from time to time. If the revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you via an e-mail to the email associated with your account. By continuing to access or use the Services after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.
