Spredo Terms of Service

This Terms of Service is a contract (these “Terms” or this “Agreement”) between Spredo and you (“you”, or the “User”) for your use of Spredo’s proprietary hosted platform to do automated outreach on Telegram to professionals in the web3 space (each message in each campaign, an “Outreach”, and dialogue created in the process of the Outreach, the “Dialogue”). It describes our business relationship, including the nature and limitations of the services we agree to provide to you and in what ways you are permitted to use those services and/or the products of those services. For Users of our Application Program Interface (“API”), this Agreement applies to both you and end users of your website or application. By using Spredo’s website, platform, APIs, products, or services (collectively, the “Services”), or Dialogue, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms and any and all terms of policies incorporated herein by reference.

BY REGISTERING FOR THE SERVICES, OR BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THE TERMS, INCLUDING Spredo’S PRIVACY POLICY.

ARBITRATION NOTICE. You agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration as further described in Section 10, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND Spredo ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury.

Abuse or excessively frequent use of the Services, including requests to Spredo via the API, may result in the temporary or permanent modification, suspension or discontinuation of your or your account’s access to the Services (or any part thereof). Spredo, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the Services. Spredo will make a reasonable attempt via email to warn the account owner prior to suspension. To the extent allowed under law, these changes may be effective upon notice provided to you.

2. Free and Paid Subscription Services; Teams

These Terms are applicable to all Users of the Services, whether such use is free or under a paid subscription. Individual Users who subscribe to paid Services or who are part of a Team (defined below) (each, a “Subscriber”) must also review and agree to the terms of our Services Contract at the time of subscription and at the time of any subsequent subscription modification. Subscribers pre-pay for a set number of Outreaches and downloads of Dialogues (each, an “Export”). Outreaches will expire at the end of the applicable Subscription Term (as defined in the Subscription Agreement).

Subject to the terms of the Services Contract, Subscribers may invite others to join a group of Subscribers, or be invited to join a grouping of Subscribers (a “Team”). Teams are managed by the User who created it. A subscriber may only be part of one Team at a time. If you accept an invitation to join a Team, then you will still be able to use the Outreaches and Exports you purchased before you joined the Team, but the User who manages the Team must purchase additional Outreaches and Exports on your behalf. You may remove yourself from a Team and the User who manages the Team may remove you from the Team at any time and for any or no reason by sending an email to gm@spredo.io.

This clause is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party's obligations under the Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”), available here. The DPA sets out the parties’ roles and obligations under data protection law and forms part of these Terms.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

Except where otherwise stated, the Services and Dialogue are provided as is. Spredo may update, change, complete, correct, remove, or delete Dialogue at any time. While Spredo engages in a diligent practice of maintaining and updating the Spredo Services and Dialogue, we do not have control over the production, availability, or accuracy of third-party data included or sought to be included as a part of the Dialogue or otherwise as a product of the Services.

8. Indemnification

9. Arbitration

Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Spredo in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as expressly described herein, you and Spredo agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND Spredo ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Exceptions. Despite the provisions of this Section, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Spredo, LLC, Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 1100 Bellevue Way NE, Ste. 8A, #91, Bellevue, WA 98004 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Services, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Spredo receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 14(ii) (“Governing Law”) The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Spredo will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at https://www.adr.org/, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Spredo. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.

Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Spredo’s address for Notice of Arbitration is: Spredo Ltd., Flat 1A, 25 Holland Road, W148HJ, London, United Kingdom. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Spredo may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Spredo must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Spredo in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, Spredo will pay to you the higher of: (c) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (d) US$1,000.

Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Spredo will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in the county and state of your residence or billing address, but if the claim is for US$1,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your permanent residence. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Spredo for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

No Class Actions. YOU AND Spredo AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Spredo agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Spredo makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Spredo’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Spredo’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Spredo will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

Enforceability. If Section 9 (vii) (“No Class Actions”) or the entirety of this Section is found to be unenforceable, or if Spredo receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 14(ii) (“Governing Law”) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

10. Marketing and Feedback

If you are using the Services on behalf of a company, you grant (and you represent and warrant that you have the authority to grant) Spredo, solely for marketing and sales purposes, an unrestricted, perpetual, revocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free right to use your company’s name and/or logos. These assets and logos will be used purely for marketing and sales efforts, such as being displayed on the Spredo home page. The User has the right to revoke the license to use logo at any time in its sole discretion by providing written notice to Spredo.

If you choose to provide input and suggestions regarding problems with or proposed modifications or improvements to the Services, then you hereby assign to Spredo all right, title, and interest in and to that feedback, including all intellectual property rights, and Spredo will be free to exploit the feedback in any manner and for any purpose without compensation to you.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent.
