Terms of Service

1. Introduction

This document explains our position and specific conditions regarding your use of our website (the “Site”), PortalBee’s hosted survey platform made available as software as a service (the “SaaS”) and other related support services (the “Support Services” and together with the SaaS, the “Services”) that you purchase or sign up for on the Site. By using the Site or Services, you agree to be bound by our Terms & Conditions in addition to other terms and conditions or policies that may appear throughout the Site.

References to “Company,” “we” or “us” in this document mean PortalBee, Inc. and its affiliates, subsidiaries, and divisions.

You agree to these Terms & Conditions by clicking to accept these Terms & Conditions, executing a document that references them, or using the Site or Services. If you are unwilling to accept these Terms & Conditions, we ask that you do not use the Site or Services. When you use the Site or Services, you agree to be bound by the then current Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to be bound by the Terms & Conditions, your sole remedy is not to use the Site or Services. Each time you use the Site or Services, you should visit and review the Terms & Conditions. We reserve the right to occasionally update the Terms & Conditions. At such time, we will also revise the “last updated” date at the end of the Terms & Conditions. For material changes to this Terms & Conditions, we will notify you by placing a prominent notice on the Site. The Site and Services is not intended for children and is not targeted to children under the age of 13. By using the Site or Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years of age.

2. Other Terms

Some areas of this Site, or certain Services, may have additional rules, guidelines, and/or other terms and conditions that apply to your access and/or use of that area of the Site, or those Services, and that may be revised from time to time (“Other Terms”). If there is a conflict or inconsistency between any of these Terms & Conditions and the Other Terms, the Other Terms shall take precedence with respect to your access and use of that area of the Site or those Services.

3. Use of the Site and SaaS

You agree that you will not access or use the Site or SaaS in any manner that could damage, disable, impair or cause undue burden on the Site or SaaS and/or any applicable host, servers, network, systems or other users. You agree that you will not attempt to interfere in any way with the operation of the Site or SaaS, that you will not transmit any virus or worm to the Site or SaaS, that you will not use any spider, robot, data mining tool or other automatic device, or any other manual process or means, to access the Site or SaaS and/or any applicable servers or systems to extract, download, monitor, gather, transmit or copy any of the data or material on the Site or in the SaaS (including, without limitation, account information, product listings, images, descriptions or prices), or for any other unauthorized purpose; and that you will not engage in flooding, spamming, mail-bombing, crashing or otherwise sending unsolicited email to other users of the Site or SaaS. You further agree that you will not attempt to access data that is not intended for your use, that you will not attempt to log on to a server or account that you are not authorized to access, and that you will not probe, scan or test the vulnerability of any system or network related in any way to the Site or SaaS without authorization.

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend or terminate without notice your access to the Site or Services or any feature of the Site or Services or part thereof at any time.

4. SaaS

You acknowledge that these Terms & Conditions govern your use of the SaaS, whether or not there are license agreements and/or end user agreements. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you acknowledge that (1) you shall not attempt to alter or modify the SaaS; (2) you shall not reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to gain access to the source code for the SaaS; (3) you shall not attempt to circumvent or disable the SaaS or its intended purpose; and (4) you shall not copy, sublicense, assign, transfer, distribute, transmit or otherwise use the SaaS without the prior written consent of Company.

5. Services

We may change or eliminate Services offered on or through the Site at any time without notice. We make no representation that any Services are available for use in your location, and a reference to Services on the Site does not imply that the Services will be available to you and/or in your location.

6. Free Trial

If you register for a free trial, we will make the applicable Services available to you on a trial basis free of charge until the earlier of (a) the end of the free trial period (if not terminated earlier) or (b) the start date of your paid subscription. Unless you purchase a subscription to the applicable Services before the end of the free trial, all of your data provided through the SaaS may be permanently deleted at the end of the trial, and we will not recover it. If we include additional terms and conditions on the trial registration web page, those will apply as well. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section, the Services are offered as-is during the free trial, without any warranty, covenant, support or liability whatsoever, to the extent permitted by law.

7. Subscription Fees and Payments

Except in the case of a free trial, our Services are offered by subscription plan billed on a monthly basis. Each one-month period (which may vary in length from period to period between approximately 28 and 32 days) constitutes one “Billing Period”. Pricing options and tiers for the Services can be found here. Pricing tiers are based on the number of Profiles you create. Each "Profile" represents a single individual, entity, or identifying source address, such as (but not limited to) an email address, IP address, or social media handle. Profiles are commonly created through responses to user generated forms, such as (but not limited to) an email address, username, or identification number. Profiles may be created via alternate means other than form responses, such as (but not limited to) imports, manual creation, and automatic database integration, etc. PortalBee's system attempts to merge together Profiles that contain the same single individual, entity, or source address to aggregate the contained information into one Profile. PortalBee does not guarantee a perfect merge algorithm and duplicate profiles for a single individual, entity, and/or source address may occur as a result. You agree to pay PortalBee any fees for Services you purchase or use. The fee you pay for the Services will remain fixed during the term of your subscription unless you exceed the maximum Profiles included in your subscription tier (the “Maximum Profiles”) or change your subscription tier (including by subscribing to additional features or products, such as additional Profiles). If you exceed your Maximum Profiles limit in a Billing Period, your subscription fee will increase up to the tier price which corresponds with the number of Profiles accumulated by the end of a Billing Period at the beginning of the next Billing Period.

[Your paid subscription will be automatically renewed at the end of each Billing Period unless you inform us that you do not wish to renew the subscription. 3 At the time of automatic renewal, the subscription fee will be charged to the credit card last used by you. We provide you the option of changing the details if you would like the payment for the renewal to be made through a different credit card. If you do not wish to renew the subscription, you must inform us at least seven days prior to the renewal date. If you have not informed us that you do not wish to renew the subscription, you will be presumed to have authorized PortalBee to charge the subscription fee to the credit card last used by you.]

From time to time, we may change the price of any Service or charge for use of Services that are currently available free of charge. Any such increase in charges will not apply until the expiry of your then current Billing Period. You will not be charged for using any Service unless you have opted for a paid subscription plan.

If you have any questions or concerns about pricing, or if you're not completely satisfied with PortalBee, please reach out to us at help@portalbee.com so we can make things right.

8. Taxes

All fees and other amounts payable by you to PortalBee for Services you purchase or use are exclusive of any tax, levy or similar governmental charge including value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, that may be assessed by any jurisdiction, whether based on gross revenue, the delivery, sale or use of the Services, including without limitation all sales, use, excise, import or export, value added, governmental permit fees, license fees, and customs (collectively, “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with the transactions contemplated hereunder, except that you shall have no liability for any income taxes assessed on PortalBee on amounts paid by you under this Agreement. If PortalBee has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which you are responsible under this Section, PortalBee will invoice you and you will pay that amount unless you provide PortalBee with a valid tax exemption certificate, including a valid value-added tax number, authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

9. Third Party Payment Platform

When you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that the information is accurate, that you are authorized to use the payment method provided, and that you will notify us of changes to the payment information. We reserve the right to utilize third party credit card updating services to obtain current expiration dates on credit cards.

PortalBee uses the third party payment platform, Stripe, the Stripe API, and in conjunction, your Stripe account to process credit and debit card transactions for your PortalBee account.

By using the Services and agreeing to the PortalBee Terms and Conditions, you also agree to be bound by Stripe’s Terms of Service.

You are responsible for all transactions (one-time, recurring, and refunds) processed through the Site and/or Stripe. PortalBee is not liable for loss or damage from errant or invalid transactions processed with your Stripe account. This includes transactions that were not processed due to a network communication error, or any other reason. If you process a transaction, it is your responsibility to verify that the transaction was successfully processed.

You understand that PortalBee uses the Stripe API for the Services and that the Stripe API is subject to change at any time and such changes may adversely affect the Services. You understand and agree to not hold PortalBee liable for any adverse affects that actions (whether intentional or unintentional) on the part of Stripe may cause to your Stripe account, your PortalBee account, or your business.

You must not process stolen credit cards, or unauthorized credit cards through Stripe and/or your PortalBee account.
