These Terms also provide (i) rules for personal data processing when you use the App (the “Data Processing Agreement” or the “DPA”) to address the GDPR compliance, and (ii) the so-called standard contractual clauses (the “Clauses”) serving as a legal basis of personal data transfer.

3. Our Services

3.1. In general

Growbots provides Services and support to Customers conducting online marketing. In general, our Services will perform materially as described in the Documentation (defined below) when used in accordance with our instructions. To the extent within our reasonable control, we will not materially decrease the functionality of our Services during a subscription term, and we will not knowingly introduce any Malicious Code (defined below) into your systems.

Growbots will use all commercially reasonable effort to make the Services available to you pursuant to these Terms, provide our standard support for the Services to you at no additional charge, and provide you with online Services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, for example, an act of God, act of government, flood, fire, earthquake, civil unrest, act of terror, strike or other labor problem, Internet service provider failure or delay or denial of service attack.

Our Services can only be purchased on a subscription basis, by agreeing to a Subscription Plan with our representative. Please mind that whenever such agreement (on particular conditions of each Subscription Plan) is mentioned in these Terms we mean an express arrangement between you and us, fixed in documentary/tangible form (or in a durable medium, e.g. emails), incorporating such Subscription Plan as tailored by our representatives in compliance with your needs and expectations such as custom duration of the subscription, number of prospects, integrations, payments terms, etc. Additional services, services bundles and subscriptions (e.g numbers the App’s users) may be added during the Subscription Plan term and should such additional services be recurring ones that renew each month, they can be prorated for the portion of the subscription term remaining at the time the additional subscriptions are added (if not otherwise agreed), and all additional recurring subscriptions will terminate on the same date as the underlying subscriptions. Services are subject to usage limits as set forth in the Documentation (defined below) and these Terms, including, for example, the quantities specified in Subscription Plans. If you exceed a contractual usage limit, we may work with you to seek to reduce your usage so that it conforms to that limit. If, notwithstanding our efforts, you are unable or unwilling to abide by a contractual usage limit, we may require that you order additional quantities of the applicable Services and/or pay any invoice for excess usage in accordance with Section 5 (Payment for Services). Unless otherwise specified, unlimited access to our leads database means that users may submit unlimited queries to the leads database, each of which generates up to 1000 leads, with the possibility of repeated queries.

BY REGISTERING AN ACCOUNT WITH US (“ACCOUNT”) OR USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT GROWBOTS DOES NOT GUARANTEE QUALITY, ACCURACY, SAFETY AND LEGALITY OF THE INFORMATION IN OUR DATABASE. YOU ARE ADVISED TO SEEK THE LEGAL ADVICE FROM A LICENSED PRACTITIONER TO EVALUATE THE SUITABILITY OF OUR SERVICES FOR YOUR BUSINESS PRIOR TO USING OUR SERVICES.

3.2. Beta Services

Beta Services will be clearly designated as beta, pilot, limited release, developer preview, non-production, evaluation or by a description of similar import. Beta Services are for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not considered “Services” under the Agreement, are not supported, and may be subject to additional terms. Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of one year from the trial start date, or the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available or the date that we elect (in our sole discretion) to discontinue the Beta Services. We may discontinue Beta Services at any time in our sole discretion and may never make them generally available. We will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with a Beta Service.

To use such features, you may be required to obtain access to third party applications from their providers, and may be required to grant us access to your account(s) on the other applications.

5. Payment for Services

5.1. Payment In General

Every Customer shall be responsible for timely payment of all fees specified on our invoices in U.S. dollars and other obligations set forth in the physical or electronic order for a particular Subscription Plan, including any addenda and supplements thereto. By using our Services, you acknowledge and agree that our fees are based on Services purchase rather than actual usage; that our fees cannot be cancelled once charged and all fees paid are non-refundable; and that all payments to subscription services must be paid in full, in advance, and in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Plan of your choice or the Subscription Plan agreed on with our representative.

When you (as our Customer) start a subscription according to the Subscription Plan, and provide or designate a method of payment, you need to authorize us to charge your payment method with fees for the Subscription Plan you have subscribed to. All such charges shall be due and payable on a monthly or yearly prepayment basis; unless you timely cancel subscription (if your Subscription Plan already allows you to do so) prior to scheduled payment for subsequent periods of subscription you will be automatically charged with those at the beginning of your subscription and also at a time when any relevant subsequent term of your Subscription Plan commences. Similarly, you may also be charged with other fees in connection with your use of the Services that are not covered by your Subscription Plan.

We accept all major forms of credit card, debit card and checking account for the payment of our Services. We recommend the use of a corporate credit card, debit card or checking account to process the payments. We may use one or more third party service providers to process payments collected through our Services, and may change the service provider from time to time, in our sole discretion. By using our Services, you consent to our use of third party services to process your payments. You also represent and warrant that you will review the privacy policy practices of the third party service provider. Your continued use of our Services shall be deemed to mean that you have reviewed, understood and agreed to the privacy policy of the third party service provider. You can access Stripe’s privacy policy here: https://stripe.com/privacy

You are solely responsible for paying all Taxes associated with the use of our Services. If you are exempt from certain Taxes, you shall provide us with the valid Tax exemption documentation.

5.3. Late Payments

In the event that your credit card was declined, your check was bounced, or your payment was not timely made for any or no reason, we will automatically charge and you shall be automatically responsible for all reasonable surcharges, including but not limited to any administrative fees, processing fees and fines. In addition, if any of your payment is 20 or more days overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts you have authorized us to charge to your credit card), we may choose, at our sole discretion and without limiting our other rights and remedies, accelerate your unpaid fee obligations to be immediately due. In addition, we reserve our right to suspend, terminate, or delete your Account upon a 10 day prior notice.

This Section 5.3 (Late Payments) does not apply to any payment or invoices under a good faith dispute and/or resolution.

8. Confidential Information

“Confidential Information” means all information, whether oral or written, disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information excludes any information that, without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party or any other third party,

  • is public or generally known to the public;

  • was known to the Receiving Party prior a disclosure from the Disclosing Party;

  • is received from a third party; or

  • was independently developed by the Receiving Party,

The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind, but not less than reasonable care, to protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party agrees not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of the Agreement, and except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with the Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein. Neither party will disclose these Terms to any one without the other party’s prior written consent, except when the disclosure is made to the party’s affiliates, legal counsel and accountants on a need to know basis. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Receiving Party may disclose any Confidential Information to the extent compelled by law, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure, to the extent permitted under law, and provide reasonable assistance, to the extent feasible and practical, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

9.5. Customer Data Portability and Deletion

Upon a written request made within 30 days after the effective date of a termination or expiration of the Agreement under these Terms, we will make the Customer Data associated with your Account available to you for export or download.

UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE HEREIN, ALL SERVICES AND BETA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND, WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, (1) ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, TITLE, NON INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING AND USAGE OF TRADE, AS TO THE WEBSITE, APP, THEIR CONTENT AND MATERIALS AND SERVICES; (2) THAT THE WEBSITE, CONTENT, MATERIALS, AND SERVICES, WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, WILL ALWAYS BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, AVAILABLE, ACCESSIBLE, UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR OPERATE WITHOUT ERROR; (3) WITH RESPECT TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE OPERATION, USE OR OTHER EXPLOITATION OF THE WEBSITE, CONTENT, MATERIALS, SERVICES, AND LISTINGS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

IN NO EVENT WILL GROWBOTS’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FROM A SINGLE INCIDENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS OF PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE FROM YOU IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE INCIDENT. IN NO EVENT WILL GROWBOTS’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS WE RECEIVE FROM YOU. YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES IN THE EVENT THAT GROWBOTS BREACHED ANY OF ITS WARRANTIES TO YOU HEREIN, ARE (1) TERMINATION AS DESCRIBED UNDER SECTION 9.3 (TERMINATION) OR (2) REFUND OF PAYMENT AS DESCRIBED UNDER SECTION 9.4 (REFUND OR PAYMENT UPON TERMINATION).

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH SAYS: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11 ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND GROWBOTS.

Schedule A to the Terms of Service. The Data Processing Agreement including Standard Contractual Clauses (processors).

  1. General Remarks.

To address the GDPR compliance, Growbots requires you to accept the provisions of this Data Processing Agreement that constitutes integral part of these Terms of Service and which is intended to meet the requirements of the GDPR – Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (the “GDPR”). Therefore, if the GDPR applies to your activity (for instance because you are established in the European Union or established outside the European Union but you offer good or services to data subjects who are in the European Union) — you need to enter into Data Processing Agreement so that you can process such GDPR-eligible personal data with Growbots as this may be considered data transfer to the United States which is considered a “third country” under the GDPR. Unless you accept the Agreement involving this DPA your contract with Growbots might lack those terms hence if GDPR applies to your activity you must refrain from using Growbots’ Service unless you accept this DPA.

The terms “personal data”, “data subject”, “processing”, “controller”, “processor” and “supervisory authority” as used in this DPA have the meanings given in the GDPR.

Please be advised that in order to meet the data protection adequacy and security requirements of the GDPR, this DPA contains the Clauses, i.e. so-called Standard Contractual Clauses (for data processors) – the Commission Decision (EU) 2010/87 of 5 February 2010 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries under Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, as amended by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/2297 of 16 December 2016. This mechanism considers the Court of Justice of the European Union ruling on data transfers, invalidating the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, while such Standard Contractual Clauses (for data processors) continue to be a valid legal mechanism to transfer data under the GDPR. Considering the above, on the condition that you (our Customer) demonstrate to be obliged with the GDPR regulations, once you accept the Terms of Services, both you and us agree to be bound by the following DPA and the Clauses in order to adduce adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals for the transfer of the personal data specified in Appendix 1 to the Clauses that you might import or otherwise upload to our App within the scope of the Services we provide you under the Agreement.

2. Acceptance of this DPA.

If the GDPR applies to the processing of Customer Data and you are the processor, you explicitly warrant us that your instructions and actions with respect to that Customer Data processing, including hereby appointment of Growbots as another processor, have been authorized by the relevant controller.

Such third-party liability of the Sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.

  3. The provisions relating to data protection aspects for sub-processing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the Data Exporter is established.

  4. The Data Exporter shall keep a list of sub-processing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the Data Importer pursuant to Clause 5(j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the Data Exporter’s data protection supervisory authority.

In that case, the Data Importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.

  2. The Data Importer and the Sub-processor warrant that upon request of the Data Exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data-processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.
