Adovation.org APIs and Subscribing User Platform Applications

Through the Service, Adovation.org offers a set of application programming interfaces (“APIs”) that enable subscribing Users ("Subscribing Users") to create their own specific email marketing campaigns with unique content and messages tailored to each Subscribing User’s message ("Platform Applications"). Subscribing Users may use the APIs to create email-marketing campaigns only in accordance with these Terms of Use.

Subscribing Users may require their prospects, clients and customers to agree to their own terms of service, privacy policies and/or other policies as a condition of using the Subscribing Users’ Platform Applications. Platform Applications have not been approved, endorsed, or reviewed in any manner by Adovation.org, and we are not responsible to any prospect, client or customer of a Subscribing User for the content, accuracy, or reliability of your Platform Applications and the privacy practices or other policies of Subscribing Users.

By using the APIs to create Platform Applications, Subscribing Users may access and share certain information about others only as described in our Privacy Policy. As a Subscribing User you agree to restrictions on access, storage and use of such information. However, while we have undertaken contractual and technical steps to restrict possible misuse of such information by such Subscribing Users, we do not screen Subscribing Users, and we cannot take any responsibility for and do not guarantee that all Subscribing Users will abide by such restrictions and agreements. Please report any suspected misuse of information through the Adovation.org Site or Service as described in our Privacy Policy.

The Platform Applications may also allow Subscribing Users to offer their email marketing campaign recipients an opportunity to purchase gift cards redeemable for products or services offered by the Subscribing User by the recipient or others to whom the recipient may designate (each a “Gift Card”). Once purchased, the Gift Card recipient receives a confirming email from the Company which requires a response to activate the Gift Card. Once activated, the Gift Card recipient can redeem the Gift Card by opening the confirming email on their mobile device, tapping the screen to open the browser version of the Gift Card campaign and completing the amount of the Gift Card to be used along with the employee ID code for the issuing Subscribing User who issued the gift (the establishment where the Gift Card is being redeemed). Acceptance (or rejection) of the amount redeemed is then made with balance remaining on the Gift Card, if any, reflected.

Intellectual Property Complaints

We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and we prohibit Users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on the Site any materials that violate another party's intellectual property rights. When we receive proper notification of alleged intellectual property infringement, we promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers as described herein in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe that any material on the Site infringes upon any copyright which you own or control, you may send a written notification of such infringement to our Designated Agent and following the procedures set forth below.

We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), also known as the DMCA. The DMCA provides a simple procedure for copyright owners to report content that infringes their copyrights. Please be aware that the DMCA makes copyright owners liable if they materially misrepresent that a User's content is infringing.

To report a copyright infringement by a User, all you need to do is fill out our automated DMCA http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/agent.pdf. This form is the fastest way to report a copyright infringement.

If you prefer, you can also send an email to DMCAviolations@Adovation.org. You will need to include all of the notice elements listed in the DMCA at 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). You can also find these elements listed in our automated DMCA form.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, any User who is deemed to be a repeat infringer. We may also at our sole discretion limit access to the Site and/or terminate the Subscription of any User who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Although client and customers of a Subscribing User will receive emails complete with information created in the marketing campaign of a Subscribing User through the Service, we will not communicate in any way directly with any client or customer of a Subscribing User.

Sponsored Applications

We offer a feature whereby app developers who have developed their own Mobile Service applications on the IOS, Android or Blackberry platform (“Sponsored Apps”) can apply to us to advertise their Sponsored Apps on the engagement template page by creating a profile, a budget and suggesting a pay per click (“PPC”) value. The process to apply for approval to advertise is set forth on the Site. If accepted by us, any such Sponsored Apps would then be included within the Platform Applications we offer to Subscribing Users allowing the Sponsored Apps to be presented in the email campaigns offered by Subscribing Users. Subscribing Users can create email marketing campaigns using our Platform Applications the templates for which are derived from 4 sources: those created by us; those created by Subscribing Users on a favorite or “popular” (determined on a click through basis); those pulled from Apple's iTunes App store; and the Sponsored Apps. As recipients of Subscribing Users email campaigns click on the Sponsored Apps embedded within the emails of a Subscribing Users marketing campaign,, a fee is charged to the Sponsored App advertiser through PayPal’s reoccurring billing process and credited to the Subscribing User’s account. The amount generated (if any) is then applied to reduce the Subscribing User’s Subscription fees (if any) for the following quarterly period (calculated based upon the specific Subscription selected). If and when the amount generated is greater than the Subscribing User’s Subscription fees, the gross revenue generated from the PPC will be split, 70% payable to the Subscribing User and 30% to the Company. You acknowledge and agree that your participation in the Sponsored App program described above and all links, User Content or Third Party Applications, Software or Content contained within your Sponsored App is subject to, and will fully comply with the User Conduct rules set forth above and the other terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use.

Each Sponsored App must not contain any web content or source code that, if shared or posted, would be a violation of the User Conduct rules set forth above. Without limiting the foregoing, each Sponsored App advertiser agrees not to post a Sponsored App that contains, and represents and warrants that such Sponsored App does not and will not contain, any content that is infringing, harmful, threatening, unlawful, defamatory, abusive, inflammatory, harassing, vulgar, obscene, lewd, fraudulent, or invasive of privacy or publicity rights or that may expose us or the Users to any harm or liability of any type. Each Sponsored App advertiser agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents, contractors, partners and employees, harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with such Sponsored App, any links, content or other items or materials which may be shared or posted through such Sponsored App, or any breach or alleged breach of the foregoing representations and warranties.

Each Sponsored App advertiser automatically grants, and represents and warrants that it has the right to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to post the Sponsored App on the Site and through the Platform Applications in order to link to, use, copy, publish, stream, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part), summarize, and distribute the content, links and other materials of any kind residing on any web pages or mobile device on which the Sponsored App may appear.

In addition, the Company assumes no responsibility for any transaction involving any Sponsored Apps including but not limited to the viewing or purchase thereof.
