Terms of Service - Marketing

Marketing Inc. (“MarketingInc” or “we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the Marketing Inc services, which include our podcasts, newsletters, websites, the Store, mobile apps, and related social media pages (collectively, the “Services”).
These Terms of Service form part of the overall “Agreement” between you and us, which also includes:
(1) our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and use your information; and

By using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement.
We may modify this Agreement occasionally, effective upon posting on the Services. You will be deemed to have agreed to any such modifications by your further use of the Services after any such modification is posted. It is, therefore, vital that you review this Agreement regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes. If you disagree with the modifications, please discontinue the use of the Services immediately.
Please note that Section 9 contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you agree (a) to resolve all disputes with us through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury, and (b) that you waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions. You have the right to opt out of arbitration, as explained in Section 9.

Except content posted by users of the Services (“User Content”), all materials contained on the Services, including all content, and the sound, audio, software, graphics, text, and look and feel of the Services, and all trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights related thereto (“Proprietary Materials”), are owned or controlled by Marketing Inc, our subsidiaries or affiliated companies, contributors, our third-party licensors, and/or our advertising partners. You may not modify, remove, delete, augment, add to, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works from, or in any way exploit any Proprietary Materials, or any other protectable aspects of the Services in whole or in part, unless expressly stated otherwise. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and any other relevant policies related to the Services, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license, subject to the limitations herein, to access and use the Services and Proprietary Materials for your non-commercial entertainment purposes consistent with the intended purpose of the Services. You agree not to use the Services for any other purpose.
You may be able to post, upload, or submit content to be made available through the Services (“Your Content”). As a condition of your use of the Services, you grant us a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable license to access, use, host, cache, store, reproduce, transmit, display, publish, distribute, modify and adapt and create derivative works (either alone or as part of a collective work) from Your Content. You also agree that (a) the other users of the Services shall have the right to comment on and/or tag Your Content and/or to use, publish, display, modify, or include a copy of Your Content as part of their use of the Services, and (b) we have the right to make any of Your Content available to third parties so that those third parties can distribute, do derivative works of, comment on and/or analyze your Content on other media and services (either alone or as part of collective work).

Third-Party Content & User Content

You acknowledge that the Services may include content provided by users. Any opinions, advice, statements, judgments, services, offers, or other information that constitutes part of the content expressed or made available by third parties, including content posted by our contributors or User Content, are those of the respective authors and not of Marketing Inc or its affiliates or any of their officers, directors, employees, or agents. While we retain the right to filter or reject User Content and other content posted by third parties, we review User Content and other third-party content in a limited gate-keeper fashion. We have no obligation to investigate whether any content or other User Content violates any term of this Agreement and will not do so in most cases. We neither endorse nor are responsible for the User Content or any other content posted to the Services by anyone other than Marketing Inc.
Just as you retain complete ownership of Your Content (subject to the license to us granted above), all other users of the Services retain ownership of their User Content. You may not modify, remove, delete, augment, add to, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, create derivative works from, or in any way exploit any User Content in whole or in part.

Special Promotions

We may offer you the chance to participate in drawings, contests, giveaways, and promotions (“Special Promotions”) through the Services.

5. THIRD-PARTY COMPANIES AND PROVIDERS

The Services may enable you to request and receive products, information, and services from businesses not owned or operated by us. The purchase, payment, warranty, guarantee, delivery, maintenance, and all other matters concerning the merchandise, services or information, opinion, or advice ordered or received from such businesses are solely between you and such companies. We do not endorse, warrant, or guarantee such products, information, or services and are not liable for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such information or the quality of availability of such products or services. We will not be a party to or in any way be responsible for monitoring any transaction between you and third-party providers of such products, services, or information or for ensuring the confidentiality of your credit card information. Any separate charges or obligations you incur in your dealings with these third parties are your responsibility and are not part of the fee if any, charged for the Services.

In addition, the Services may prompt you to establish an account with a third-party service provider not owned or operated by us. Your agreement and understanding with any such third-party service provider are solely between you and such service provider. Any disputes you may encounter with such third-party service providers must be settled exclusively between you and the service provider.

6. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY US ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEITHER WE NOR ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED: (I) AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICES OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, OR PRODUCTS INCLUDED THEREON; (II) THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE 100% SECURE, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; (III) AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR CURRENCY OF ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, OR SERVICE, PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES; OR (IV) THAT THE SERVERS, OR EMAILS SENT FROM OR ON BEHALF OF US, ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

MARKETING INC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR THE ACTIONS OF ITS USERS OR THE CONTENTS OF ANY USER CONTENT.

WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE PURCHASE OF ANY PRODUCT THEREFROM, EVEN IF WE OR SUCH PROVIDER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY (180) DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST ASSERT ANY SUCH CLAIM, AND IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID ANY AMOUNTS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR SOLE REMEDY IS TO CEASE USING THE SERVICES AND TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT.

CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO A USER, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO SUCH USER, AND SUCH USER MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

7. LEGALITY

You are subject to all laws of the state(s) and countries in which you reside and from which you access the Services and are solely responsible for obeying those laws. You agree that we cannot be held liable if laws applicable to you restrict or prohibit your participation. We make no representations or warranties, implicit or explicit, as to your legal right to participate in any Services, contests, sweepstakes, or tournaments offered through the Services, nor will any person affiliated or claiming affiliation with the Services have the authority to make any such representations or warranties.

8. APPLICABLE LAW; JURISDICTION

The Services are created and controlled by us in the State of Florida. As such, the laws of the State of Florida will govern this Agreement without giving effect to any provisions of Florida law that direct the choice of another state’s laws.

Subject to the Binding Arbitration section below, you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Tamp, Florida, for any litigation arising out of or relating to the use of or purchase made through the Services (and agree not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts).

9. BINDING ARBITRATION

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any threshold questions of arbitrability, will be determined by binding arbitration. The arbitration proceedings will be held and conducted by a single arbitrator by the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. Such arbitration will occur in Tampa, Florida, and be initiated by any party by the JAMS Rules. The demand for arbitration will be made by any party hereto within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute, or another matter in question has arisen and in any event, will not be made after the date when the institution of a legal proceeding, based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question, would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitrator will decide on discovery issues. Post-hearing briefs will be permitted. The arbitrator will render a decision within twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the hearing(s). In reaching a decision, the arbitrator will have no authority to change, extend, modify, or suspend any of the terms of this Agreement or to grant an award or remedy any more significant than that which would be available from a court under the statutory or common law theory asserted. The arbitrator will issue a written opinion that includes the factual and legal basis for any decision and award. The arbitrator will apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of Florida or federal law, or any of them, as appropriate to the claim(s) asserted. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent

jurisdiction. The parties may seek, from a court of competent jurisdiction, provisional remedies, or injunctive relief in support of their respective rights and remedies hereunder without waiving any right to arbitration. However, the merits of any action that involves such provisional remedies or injunctive relief, including, without limitation, the terms of any permanent injunction, will be determined by arbitration under this paragraph. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator will allocate all costs and expenses of the arbitration (including legal and accounting fees and expenses of the respective parties) to the parties in the proportions that reflect their relative success on the merits (including the successful assertion of any defenses).

You agree to pursue any arbitration in an individual capacity and not as a class representative or class member in any purported class action proceeding.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES, THE PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY ARE IRREVOCABLY WAIVING ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIVITIES CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

10. INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold Marketing Inc, our subsidiaries and affiliates, and our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Agreement and/or any of your representations and warranties set forth herein.

11. SEVERABILITY

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. Suppose, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction. In that case, such provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions in any jurisdiction.

12. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

When you use the Services or email us, you communicate electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will share with you by email or posting notices through the Services. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

13. OTHER

This Agreement is deemed accepted upon any use of any of the Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
