1. Definitions and Products. The Oozeta products, services, and other capitalized terms have the definitions as defined in this section or in the section where they first appea
   
   a. Ads/Ad Credits.Ad Credits are used to run advertisements across digital platforms using the Ads, Retargeting Ads, and Social Targeting Ads programs under Oozeta Advertising Plan. Ad Credits cost one dollar ($1.00) per credit. Ad Credits are allocated as follows: fifty-one percent (51%) of each Ad Credit is allocated to media buy (paid placement on services such as Google AdWords, Facebook, OTT streaming television, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.) and the remaining forty-nine percent (49%) is allocated to campaign management and campaign optimization. Please note, the media buy allocation percentage is subject to change without notice. Ad Credit costs, including cost-per-click reporting and more, are reflected through the Ad Credit Program (formerly, the Ads, Retargeting Ads, and Social Targeting Ads programs) within the Oozeta platform for return on investment (ROI) and cost-per-conversion tracking/analysis. Ad Credits are subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable 3rd Party provider (e.g., Google, Bing, YouTube, Facebook), and some services may not be available for some client products or services. You may access a performance report which includes raw data on costs, clicks, and impressions at the Google advertising account level at any time by clicking the applicable link on your Oozeta dashboard. These links are available in the top right-hand corner of the Ads, Retargeting Ads, or Social Targeting Ads pages on your Oozeta dashboard. Ad Credits are non-refundable but may be allocated to other services with a written request (email acceptable). If you cancel your recurring Ad Credit product, your credits on file will remain in your account for one billing cycle and must be used or transferred to another product during your next monthly billing cycle or may be forfeited. If we are developing a website for you, your Ad Credits and related services cannot be used until your site has gone live with your approval. Actual ad position on 3rd Party websites is based on several factors, and top position cannot be guaranteed. Unless instructed otherwise, your Marketing Success Manager will optimize your Ads campaign to target the top three ad positions for your keywords where possible. In any billing cycle, Oozeta may spend any credits you have on file. Oozeta will monitor your Ad Credit spend to keep you on budget, but in rare cases, Oozeta may spend over and above the number of credits you have on file. Any balance of your Ad Credit budget remaining at the end of a monthly billing cycle, positive or negative, will be rolled over to the next monthly billing cycle. Any negative balance remaining at the end of the Term is due at that time. We use a master advertising account with each 3rd Party Ad Credit services provider (Google, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook, etc.). We will set up an advertising account for you within our master advertising account. You acknowledge that you must use our master advertising account in order to use Ad Credits for these services. Because all of our accounts are linked within our master advertising accounts, we will not provide access to view or control your advertising or analytics accounts at the advertising account level of the respective service provider. You acknowledge that we will not transfer any advertising accounts or related account access to you at the end of the term. You can get a report of your advertising performance and Ad Credit usage by logging into the Oozeta platform at any time or by contacting your Marketing Success Manager, if applicable.
   
   b. Complimentary Promotions. Oozeta occasionally offers Complimentary Promotions to new Clients signing a Service Agreement. Complimentary Promotions take the form of funds, credits, or creative hours added to the Client’s account to offset marketing costs under the Service Agreement. Unless otherwise stated, Complimentary Promotions may be used to offset any cost associated with the Service Agreement with the exception of Ad Credits or 3rd Party advertising media buy. Complimentary Promotions are fully contingent on Client fulfilling the Initial Term. If you cancel the Service Agreement prior to fulfilling the Initial Term, Client must pay back all Complimentary Promotions spent on Client’s account at the time of cancellation, in addition to any applicable Early Cancellation Fees.

The credit bid is provided on the estimation, based on information received from you at the time of offer, that the projected total time spent on the design and development of this project should not exceed the total number of credits listed. If additional credits are required to complete the project, you will be notified before any additional charges, beyond the initial cost estimate, are incurred. In the event of increased costs, we will proceed only after receiving both approval (written or oral) and payment from the Client. Your approval of any credit increase shall be binding and incorporated into this agreement. Any unused Creative Credits paid for by Client will remain in the Client’s account for one year from the date of payment and will then expire. You may also purchase Creative Credits which may be used for any creative services. A list of Creative Credit cost for services can be provided upon request. If you have Creative Hours on file, each Creative Hour is equal to 75 Creative Credits. Creative Hours, Complimentary Creative Hours and Creative Credits are non-refundable and expire at the end of the Term. Creative Hours or Creative Credits may not be transferred to other services without our written consent. Creative Services are available at a discounted rate for Marketing Customers. Your Oozeta representative can provide you with the current rates for Creative Services. Video Production services are more involved and have a different hourly rate. Please see your Service Agreement for our current Video Production hourly rates. For more information on Video Production please see Section ae. Our Creative Services necessarily require your input and cooperation. You agree to provide materials, direction, information, approvals, authorizations or decisions necessary for us to complete your project.

If your hosting services continue after the cancellation of marketing, such hosting services will continue to be governed by these Oozeta Terms of Service. BigCommerce, Shopify, and some other 3rd Party e-commerce site design files must be hosted on their respective servers. Upon cancellation of marketing, BigCommerce and Shopify sites will continue to be hosted on these platforms. If you have issues with your 3rd party website hosting, you must contact those entities directly.

2. Compliance with Laws/Prohibited Content. Client shall not use or permit the Services to be used in violation of any applicable national, state, or local laws or regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, Client may not use any Oozeta’s Services for any illegal activity including the storage or transmission of information, data, files, or links to content that violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law. This includes, but is not limited to, pirated software, copyrighted data or links thereto, the propagation of computer worms or viruses, the use of false identities, or attempts to gain unauthorized entry to any network. Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited on all Oozeta servers. This includes sites that may infer or link to sexual content. Spamming sites and sites selling or promoting bulk email software, services, or addresses are also prohibited. Oozeta may terminate this agreement if it determines, in its sole discretion, Client has violated this policy.
3. Client Obligations.In addition to making all required payments, Client shall (a) cooperate with Oozeta in all matters relating to the Services and provide access to Client’s advertising accounts including Client’s Google AdWords and Analytics accounts as necessary; (b) respond promptly to questionnaires and any reasonable request to provide direction, information, approvals, authorizations or decisions that are reasonably necessary for Oozeta to perform Services in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; and (c) provide such customer materials or information as Oozeta may reasonably request to carry out the Services in a timely manner and ensure that such customer materials or information are complete and accurate in all material respects. Oozeta is not responsible or liable for any delay or failure of performance caused in whole or in part by Client’s delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement.
   
   
4. Payment. Once you have executed your Service Agreement, Service Order or Online Order Form, you will be responsible for payment in full of all associated Fees. All Fees are due in US dollars. Unless otherwise stated, Client will pay all Fees due under this Agreement monthly, in advance. Fees for one-time services will be due in full on the Effective Date, or as otherwise provided by your Service Agreement. For recurring Fees, the initial payment will be taken on the Effective Date, and you will be billed for subsequent Fees as outlined in your Service Agreement. For monthly recurring Services, unless the Service Agreement states otherwise, you will be billed on the same numerical day of each month as the Effective Date. For example, if the Effective Date is November 17th, you will be billed for recurring monthly payments on December 17th, January 17th, and so on. The last billing date each month is the 25th. If your Effective Date is after the 25th, the first payment will be taken on the Effective Date, and recurring payments will bill on the 25th of each month. For annual recurring services, you will be billed for the first year on the Effective Date, and you will be billed for subsequent payments on the anniversary of the Effective Date unless canceled as provided in Section 5 below. You acknowledge that you are required to pay the full amount due for the Services each month through the Initial Term and Renewal Terms at no less than the monthly recurring marketing total listed in your Service Agreement. You will be required to agree to all applicable payment authorization forms which authorize recurring billing in accordance with your agreement. Oozeta shall have the right to charge your credit card or debit from your account through ACH for Fees in accordance with these Terms of Service and the Service Agreement. Client warrants the validity of any ACH information provided to Oozeta and acknowledges that Oozeta is entitled to debit Client’s account for any ACH fees charged to Oozeta due to Client’s error, including, but not limited to, incorrect information, invalid account numbers and non-sufficient funds. Oozeta uses a credit card updating service that automatically updates credit card numbers where a credit card has expired or been replaced. You acknowledge that Oozeta has a right to charge any credit card updated in this manner in accordance with these Terms of Service and the Service Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALL FEES MUST BE PAID IN ADVANCE AND THAT, IN ADDITION TO BEING IN BREACH OF YOUR CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, YOUR SERVICES MAY BE PAUSED OR TERMINATED IF TIMELY PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED OR IF A PAST PAYMENT HAS BEEN DISPUTED.
5. Term/Termination.
   
   a. Term. The Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and will remain in effect until terminated as provided below. For recurring accounts, the Service Agreement sets forth the minimum commitment term (the “Initial Term”) and authorizes recurring monthly billing for such period. Unless otherwise stated in the Service Agreement, all Site Only plans or website hosting plans have a twelve (12) month Initial Term, and all other plans have a six (6) month Initial Term. Your Initial Term may be extended by any added Service Order or Online Order Form. If there is a conflict the most recent agreement’s Initial Term shall control. Only months in which full payment has been received will count as a month of marketing under the Initial Term. Client acknowledges that Client’s digital marketing plan is designed based on the Initial Term defined in Client’s Service Agreement. After the Initial Term, the Term will be automatically renewed for successive one-month periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) or as otherwise provided in the Service Agreement (the Initial Term and any Renewal Terms are collectively referred to herein as the “Term.”)
   
   b. Cancellation. Client may cancel the services by providing no less than 30 days’ written notice of cancellation via mail or email addressed to your Marketing Success Manager or Project Manager, as applicable. If you have not completed the Initial Term, cancellation will be effective at the completion of the Initial Term. If you have completed the Initial Term, services will continue through the end of the next applicable Renewal Term and will then be cancelled.
   
   c. Early Cancellation. You acknowledge that Oozeta requires an Onboarding Package for all Oozeta Platform License Accounts. Oozeta may waive some or all of this Onboarding Package for all accounts that sign up for an Initial Term of six (6) months or more. If you wish to cancel the Services without completing the Initial Term you may do so only by providing both written notification of cancellation and any previously waived Onboarding Package. The amount of your Onboarding Package is defined in your Service Agreement. If your Service Agreement does not define the Onboarding Package it shall be equal to $2,350.00. The Onboarding Package payment is in addition to your monthly payments to date and may not be paid with credits on file or any prior payment. The Onboarding Package must be provided within five (5) business days from our receipt of your written notice of early cancellation. No early cancellation of a Service Agreement will take effect until the previously waived Onboarding Package has been paid, and you will continue to be billed monthly until we receive both proper written notice of cancellation and the Onboarding Package, as applicable. Upon execution of this agreement, Oozeta will be investing considerable work into your business and online marketing activities. This investment is being made with the understanding that you are committing to pay for the Services through the Initial Term. Client recognizes the aforementioned investment, up-front sales, setup, and opportunity costs that Oozeta bears in connection with this marketing commitment, and acknowledges that this fee is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable amount of liquidated damages to compensate Oozeta for early cancellation of the Services. Clients who signed a Service Agreement prior to May 2021 do not have an Onboarding Package, but instead may cancel prior to the end of the Initial Term only by paying a Setup Fee or an Early Cancellation Fee. The Setup Fee or Early Cancellation Fee, if applicable, will be defined in your Service Agreement. You acknowledge the aforementioned investment, up-front sales, setup, and opportunity costs that Oozeta bears in connection with your Service Agreement and you acknowledge that this Early Cancellation Fee is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable amount of liquidated damages to compensate Oozeta for early cancellation of the Services
   
   d. Cancellation Revocation. You may, upon written notice (email is acceptable), revoke such cancellation after you have made a cancellation request, in which case the Service Agreement will be reinstated, and all applicable services will be reinstated upon payment in full of all amounts owed. If the cancellation fee has already been paid it shall be applied to any future amounts owed.
   
   e. Oozeta’s Right to Cancel. We may cancel this Agreement at any time for any reason, and in our sole discretion, by providing written notice of cancellation to you. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the then current billing period. Written notice may be provided to you via email. If we terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.e, we will reimburse you for any unused credits and funds within 30 business days from the effective cancellation date.
   
   f. Pause or Downgrade of Service. During the Initial Term, you may request a pause or a downgrade in your Services, however it will be in Oozeta’s sole discretion to determine if a pause or downgrade in Services is appropriate. No pause or downgrade during the Initial Term will be effective without a signed written confirmation from both Oozeta and the Client. After the Initial Term, you may pause or downgrade your account with no less than 30 days’ written notice. After the Initial Term a downgrade that fully eliminates the recurring portion of certain services (e.g., Content Credits, Ad Credits, Social Media Management, etc.) shall be deemed a cancellation of such services and will terminate all Oozeta obligations related to that service at the end of the then current billing cycle. Further, the Parties agree that any downgrade that eliminates the Oozeta Base Platform Fee (e.g., a downgrade to hosting services only) will terminate all Oozeta obligations related to those removed services. The Parties agree that the preceding two sentences shall not apply to temporary downgrades accompanied by a signed agreement. Client may upgrade or reinstate services at any time with a written or oral request.
   
   g. No Refunds and Unused Credits. Unless we cancel the agreement pursuant to Section 5.e., no refunds will be provided for any amounts already paid to Oozeta. Upon cancellation of this agreement by you for any reason, any and all unused funds, credits or creative hours will be forfeited. If you downgrade to hosting only services or any other recurring services that do not include the Oozeta Platform License Fee, any and all unused funds, credits, or creative hours remaining in your account at the time of the downgrade will be forfeited. The preceding sentence does not apply to temporary downgrades with a signed agreement.
   
   h. Collection of Amounts Owed. You agree to pay all costs of collection (including attorneys’ fees, costs, and other legal and collection expenses) incurred by Oozeta in connection with its enforcement of its right to payment under the Agreement. Any amounts not paid by you when due shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). 
   
   i. Charge Disputes.If you dispute any payment with your credit card company or bank, and such dispute is resolved in Oozeta’s favor, you will be assessed a charge of $100 per dispute initiated. You acknowledge that this amount is not a penalty, but a reasonable number of liquidated damages to compensate Oozeta for the additional costs incurred in defending your payment dispute.

6. Intellectual Property.
   
   a. Your License Grant to Oozeta. During the Term, you hereby grant to Oozeta a non-exclusive, royalty-free worldwide license to use, copy, backup, modify, display, broadcast, and transmit any of your content, including but not limited to your website, text, images, logos, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, promotional materials, photos, audio, and video content relating to your existing website, as applicable, to the extent necessary and for the sole purpose of allowing Oozeta to perform the Services.

   c. Ownership of non-custom Website Design.Notwithstanding Section 7.b. and Section 7d, Oozeta retains all copyrights in all non-custom website designs delivered under this Agreement in accordance with Section 1.i.

Oozeta reserves the right to revoke this license only if either (1) Client does not fulfill the Initial Term and/or pay the waived Setup Fee or (2) Client initiates a payment dispute for any past payment.
7. 
   Oozeta License.Oozeta grants Client, during the Term for which Client has paid the applicable Fees, a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license, subject to this Agreement and any qualifications contained herein, to access and use the Service for displaying a website design.
