Partner Terms of Service

This is for Civic Shout Partners. Here are our Affiliate and Activist terms.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) will commence between Civic Shout LLC, d/b/a Civic Shout (“Service Provider”) and you (“Partner”) upon Partner’s use of Service Provider’s platform or services. These Terms shall apply to all “Services” as described in Section 1 herein and provided by Service Provider to Partner.

  1. Services. Partner will receive access to Service Provider’s online platform (“Platform”) to create, conduct and monitor petition campaigns for the purpose of growing Partner’s opt-in email and SMS lists (“Campaign”). Partner may boost petitions at its discretion, which pursuant to these Terms, shall set forth the amount of Platform credits purchased by Partner through Platform. Partner may also earn Platform credits by sharing their petitions exclusively with their email and/or SMS communities. For every 4 signatures Partner generates on one of its Civic Shout petitions, up to a maximum of 16,000 signatures per calendar month, Partner earns one credit, which such credits shall then be automatically redeemed at Service Provider’s discretion as individuals sign Partner’s petition and opt-into Partner’s email list. To remove any doubt, credits shall only be redeemed for opt-in email supporters, and only at Service Provider’s discretion. There is no situation in which Service Provider will pay or owe Partner any monetary sum for unredeemed credits.
  2. Special Offers. From time to time, Service Provider may make Special Offers available to some or all Partners. Such Special Offers are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and they can be revoked or modified at any time with or without cause at Service Provider’s sole discretion.

    Current Special Offers:

    1. Service Provider may feature some Partner petitions on its homepage (civicshout.com) in order to generate additional petition signatures and opt-in email supporters above and beyond those purchased via boosted petitions or earned by that particular partner. There is no guarantee that any given petition will be featured or that any particular number of petition signatures or opt-in email supporters will be generated on petitions that are featured.
    2. 501(c)(3) and 501 (c)(4) Partners with uploaded email suppression files under 500,000 contacts are eligible to receive 1,000 free credits per calendar month through Civic Shout’s Spark Program. To participate in the Spark Program and collect 1,000 free credits in a given month, a Partner must:
      • Be organized under 501(c)(3) or 501 (c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code
      • Maintain an email list suppression file in Civic Shout’s database containing less than 500,000 contacts while the Spark credits are being redeemed
      • Publish at least one new petition that adheres to Service Provider’s Content Policy
      • Maintain a credit or debit card on file with Service Provider
      • Order the credits from their petition dashboard by clicking the “Boost Petition” button on their petition dashboard, specifying an order of 1,000 or more credits, and successfully completing the order. Please note that any credits ordered in excess of the 1,000 will be billed as outlined in Section 4 below
    3. Bulk Discounts. Service Provider may offer a Partner the option to place a bulk order for opt-in email supporters, and in exchange for doing so may receive a discount therefore. Any bulk order or bulk discount afforded to Partner shall be evidenced by a Purchase Order specifically referencing this Agreement executed by Service Provider and Partner (“Purchase Order”) and such Purchase Order shall be kept by Service Provider with all other documents related to Partner’s use of the Services.
  3. Platform Fees. Partner agrees to pay Service Provider in exchange for the Services, the amount set forth in any applicable Boost submitted by Partner, (the “Fees”) which such Fees will be calculated based on a cost per acquisition arrangement, and as described in any receipt from Service Provider, subject to any bulk order Purchase Order. Partner will be billed via credit or debit card, and by entering credit or debit card information upon submitting a Boost, Partner agrees that Service Provider may charge the Fees and any other applicable charges to such card. Partner is responsible for ensuring that the credit or debit card information submitted to Service Provider is correct, and if the credit or debit card information provided by Partner does not lead to the prompt payment of the Fees and applicable charges to Service Provider, Partner agrees that Service Provider may seek and obtain payment of the Fees and any other applicable charges from Partner in any other lawful manner. No error or incorrect information relating to the Partner’s credit or debit card will relieve Partner of its duty to pay the Fees and any other applicable charges, and Partner will remain liable for the entire outstanding balance until Service Provider actually receives payment. For further information concerning the use of credit and debit cards, please see Section 3. Fees do not include any foreign, federal, state or local taxes that may be applicable to the sale of the Services to Partner. When Service Provider has the legal obligation to collect such taxes, the appropriate amount shall be added to Partner’s Fees and paid by Partner, unless Partner provides Service Provider with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
  4. Payment Items.
    1. Credit and Debit Cards. Partner understands that use of the Services may result in charges to Partner for the Services Partner receives. Fees paid by Partner are final and non-refundable, except as provided in these Terms, any bulk order Purchase Order, as otherwise determined by Service Provider, or when required by law. Partner represents and warrants that the credit or debit card information Partner provides is correct and Partner will promptly notify Service Provider of any changes to such information. Upon Partner’s agreement to obtain the Services, Service Provider may run and refund a $1 charge.
    2. Payment Processing. Service Provider uses one or more third party payment platforms to process credit or card transactions for your account (“Payment Services”). By using the Payment Services and agreeing to these Terms, Partner also agrees to be bound by the respective terms of service of the applicable payment platform. Partner expressly understands and agrees that Service Provider shall not be liable for any payments and monetary transactions that occur through Partner’s use of the Payment Services. Partner expressly understands and agrees that all payments and monetary transactions are handled by the applicable payment platform. Partner agrees that Service Provider shall not be liable for any issues regarding financial and monetary transactions between Partner and any other party, including the applicable payment platform. Partner is responsible for all transactions (one-time, recurring and refunds) processed through the Payment Services and/or the applicable payment platform. Service Provider is not liable for loss or damage from errant or invalid transactions processed with Partner’s account with the applicable payment platform, which includes without limitations transactions resulting from data breaches or other misappropriation of information. This includes transactions that were not processed due to a network communication error, or any other reason. Partner understands that Service Provider uses the applicable payment platform to run the Payment Services and that the terms of service of the applicable payment platform is subject to change at any time and such changes may adversely affect the Payment Services. Partner understands and agrees to not hold Service Provider liable for any adverse effects that actions (whether intentional or unintentional) on the part of the applicable payment platform may cause to Partner’s account with the applicable payment platform or Partner’s account with Service Provider.
    3. Establishing Fees. As between Service Provider and Partner, Service Provider reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise charges for any or all services obtained through the use of the Services at any time in Service Provider's sole discretion. Any and all orders made by Partner shall be charged at the rate specified at the time of the order.
    4. Charges. Partner will be charged upon the completion of each Boost order for the balance of its fees incurred on that Boost order, which will be charged to Partner’s credit or debit card, typically within two business days, pursuant to these Terms. Upon termination of any Boost Order, the Partner’s then-outstanding balance will be charged to Partner’s credit or debit card.
  5. License Grant. Subject to these Terms, Service Provider grants to Partner, for the duration of Partner’s use of the Platform and the Services, and for the Permitted Use (defined below) only, a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, sub-licensable, revocable right to access the Platform and use the Service. Partner acknowledges that Service Provider has no delivery obligation and will not ship copies of any software to Partner as part of the Service. Partner agrees that Partner does not acquire under these Terms any right to access and/or use the Platform or Services in excess of the scope and/or duration of the right of use and access of the Platform or Services expressly granted hereunder. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms or the Services hereunder, Partner’s right to access and use the Platform or Services will terminate. As used herein, “Permitted Use” means the following limited uses by employees and contractors of Partner: create and promote Campaigns on behalf of Partner for the purpose of growing Partner’s opt-in email and SMS lists. Partner may also authorize a third party to utilize the Service on Partner's behalf, solely for the benefit of Partner. So long as these Terms are in effect, Partner grants to Service Provider a non-exclusive right and license to use certain authorized intellectual property of Partner – including Partner’s logo and name, and such other trademarks, copyrighted material, and other aspects of Partner’s intellectual property as Partner specifies in writing – for the sole purpose of delivering the Services, informing users of the identity of its Partners, and marketing its services to other prospective Partners. This license shall terminate upon Partner’s discontinuation of use of the Services.
  6. Access to Platform. As part of the Services, Service Provider shall provide Partner with non-exclusive access to the Platform and Services pursuant to these Terms. Partner must establish an account with Service Provider in order to access the Services.

Partner and its users shall be responsible for maintaining the security of user accounts, passwords (including but not limited to administrative and user passwords) and files, and for all uses of Partner’s account. Partner also is required to maintain an updated suppression file of all email addresses on its electronic mailing list, so that Service Provider will only be identifying and providing new email addresses to Partner. Partner agrees and acknowledges that any Fee based on a cost per acquisition model shall be based on gross acquisitions, even if such acquisition is of an email address Partner’s email list, unless the email address was included in Partner’s suppression file at the time the email address was added to Partner’s list via its Civic Shout campaign. For the removal of doubt, Partners will not be assessed any Fee for acquisitions of information adequately disclosed in the suppression file described herein.
  7. Limitations on Use. Service Provider shall be entitled, at any time and for whatever reason, to limit, deny, create different priorities to different users, modify, or cancel the Services and/or some or all of the functionality or content of the Services without prior notice and in its sole discretion.

  8. Prohibition on Selling Information. Partners expressly may not, under any circumstances, sell, exchange, convey, swap, gift, or otherwise disseminate any personal information, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other information acquired through the Platform or Services without receiving express written consent (which may be in the form of an opt-in mechanism) from the person whose personal information, email address, phone number, or other information, would be sold, exchanged, conveyed, swapped, gifted, or otherwise disseminated. Partners may, however, use contact information acquired through the Platform to send emails and/or texts from affiliated entities under their control operating under similar organization names. Any violation of this Section, as determined in the sole discretion of Service Provider, may result in Partner and its content being permanently removed from the Platform.
  9. License Restrictions. Partner will not, and will not permit any third party to, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code or underlying structure, ideas, know-how or algorithms relevant to the Services; or otherwise use the Services for the benefit of a third party.

Any and all modifications or enhancements to the Services made by or authorized by Partner or Partner’s users or Service Provider remain the sole property of Service Provider.

  11. Termination.
    1. By Partner. Partner may fully terminate its use of the Services at any point through its account management page. Such termination will result in the deactivation or disablement of Partner’s account and access to it, and any then-outstanding Fee or charge shall be charged to Partner’s credit or debit card. Partner may also temporarily suspend its use of the Services at any time by cancelling an acquisition campaign on their petition or petitions, at which point their petition or petitions will not be promoted on the Platform. Partner will still be charged in accordance with these Terms for any Fees or charges associated with Purchase Orders and related credits that were redeemed prior to such temporary suspension.
    2. By Service Provider. If Partner breaches any of the terms, conditions or covenants of these Terms, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, Service Provider shall have the right to immediately terminate these Terms and cease rendering Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Service Provider may suspend or terminate these Terms immediately if (a) Partner fails to make a payment due hereunder, or (b) Service Provider otherwise determines in its reasonable discretion that it must terminate these Terms to avoid or minimize its liability to third parties or protect the reputation of the Service Provider, upon prior written notice to Partner. Partner shall pay Service Provider any unpaid amounts for the Services accrued prior to notice of termination and for all costs arising from such termination, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

    Partner further understands and acknowledges that Service Provider’s products and Services may entail the dissemination of materials which qualify as political advertisements under federal, state or local laws and regulations, and which may require specific disclaimers and reporting. Partner agrees to provide any necessary legal review of all disclaimer and reporting obligations associated with content or advertisements produced by Service Provider, and Partner agrees and acknowledges that Partner is solely responsible for providing any legally-required disclaimers in advertisements or content produced and/or disseminated by Service Provider.

    Partner shall provide Service Provider with all legally-required disclaimers – including language, format, placement, and all other legal requirements – prior to the dissemination of any content or advertisements requiring such disclaimers. Partner’s approval for Service Provider to disseminate any content or advertisement shall constitute acknowledgment and certification that Partner has reviewed the content or advertisement for compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

    Partner also is solely responsible for complying with reporting obligations associated with content or advertisements produced and/or disseminated by Service Provider, including, but not limited to, “electioneering communications” reporting, “issue advocacy” or “grassroots lobbying” reporting, campaign finance reporting, and any requirements to submit political content, advertisements, or financials to governmental entities. For the removal of doubt, Partner is solely responsible for ensuring that all content or advertisements disseminated by Service Provider as part of the Services complies with all applicable rules, laws, and regulations relating to the applicable content or advertisement.
