3. FEES

(a) When you create an account with us via the App and our Services, you will provide a credit card that we can charge for your use of the App and our Services.  We will establish a minimum credit line deposit (“Credit Line Deposit”) amount of no less than USD$100.00, but the Credit Line Deposit also may be higher based on anticipated use of our Services.  The instant that the App and/or our Services detects data spending in your Third Party Platform advertising account, we will charge your credit card for the Credit Line Deposit, typically in $100 increments, however larger charge increments of $250, $500, and $1,000 may be recommended and also are available upon your request. The first Credit Line Deposit incurred is a non-refundable App access charge, and this charge is a minimum use commitment. 

 

(b) When the App and/or our Services detect a data segment appended to an ad set, the App and/or our Services will multiply the media spend for that particular campaign by the appropriate data segment tier (e.g., 10%, 12%, or 15%; excluding custom-built segments, which can be priced higher.) The App will deduct your data spend amounts from your account Credit Line Deposit. Whenever your Credit Line Deposit is 80% depleted/utilized, we will charge your credit card again in the established increment to replenish your Credit Line Deposit.  

 

(c) Custom Data Segments and Pricing.  In the event you order custom data segments from us, the Fees we charge are variable and subject to the rates of the data supplying partner from whom we receive the data for the custom data segments.  You will work with the supplying data partner to establish a rate or rates.  The supplying data partner will transmit its fee based on the applicable rate to us, and we will include such data partner fee in our fees charged to you.  We are not responsible in any way for any incorrect or otherwise disputed rate or fees forwarded to us by the data partner, although we will use good faith efforts to try to assist resolving any such dispute related to the rate/fee charged by the supplying data partner.  

 

(d) If you cancel your DeepSync One account to stop accessing the App and/or using our Services, we will refund you any remaining balance of your Credit Line Deposit except for the non-refundable App access charge referred to in subparagraph (a) of this section. To cancel, please email support@deepsync.com. Once data is removed from your Third Party Platform account, we will initiate the refund process.

 

(e) Enhanced Onboarding and Pricing. In the event you use the Enhanced Onboarding feature available in the platform, the Fees we charge are based on the total number of input records sent to a Third Party Platform within each monthly billing period (defined by the calendar month). Users have the ability to mark files/datasets as active or inactive within our platform, and Deep Sync will calculate fees based on the total number of input records that were active at any point during the billing period. The amount owed in each monthly billing period will be calculated by taking the total number of input records active at any point within that period, and multiplying that number by the CPM (cost per thousand) price shown during checkout and further described on the following page: Pricing Sheet – Enhanced Onboarding. 

 

(f) When you access the App, you can also access the following page which further describes our pricing and fees https://help.deepsync.com/knowledge-base/deep-sync-one-flexible-affordable-pricing.

Other company, product, and service names located on the App may be trademarks or service marks owned by others (the “Third-Party Trademarks,” and, collectively with Deep Sync Trademarks, the “Trademarks”).

10. CONTROLLING LAW

This Agreement and any claims or disputes related to or arising from this Agreement will be governed by the substantive and procedural laws of the state of Washington, without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

 

11. BINDING ARBITRATION

In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the Services, or the App (each, a “Dispute”), either party intends to demand arbitration elects, and must elect, to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY CHOOSE ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES, AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator jointly selected by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where the party responding to the other party’s demand for arbitration resides. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section 14 below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

 

12. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

 

13. EQUITABLE RELIEF

You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement. We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. 

 

14. MISCELLANEOUS

Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, this Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter. If any provision of the Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, then only that provision will be modified to reflect the intent or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
