2. OUR SERVICE

Our Service offers brand users (each, a “Brand”) the ability to bid on and purchase an ad unit (“Ad”) to promote and/or endorse its product, service, or brand. The Ad is generally fulfilled by content creators (each, a “Creator”) via Ad reads in videos, but may be fulfilled through other formats, as agreed to by a Brand and Creator, and provided such other formats are supported by our Service. Each Creator has the sole discretion to determine how to fulfill and personalize an Ad for a Brand however, by accepting a Brand’s bid/request for an Ad, a Creator is also accepting and agreeing to such Brand’s Ad campaign requirements, including, but not limited to, timeframe for fulfillment, and to serve the Ad within Creator Content on the web sites, mobile applications, or other services or properties specified in the campaign requirements (the “Properties”). 

We’ll refer to anything a Brand provides to a Creator in connection with an Ad bid/request, such as the details of a Brand’s ad campaign, text, audio, video, or other materials, as “Brand Submissions” and the format/means by which a Creator fulfills an Ad as “Creator Content”. The terms “you” or “your” in these Terms will refer generically to any user of our Service, whether a Brand, a Creator, visitor, or otherwise. If specific terms apply to you as either a Creator or a Brand, those terms will be indicated below. 

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use our Service for the purpose of purchasing and/or selling Ads and other purposes authorized by these Terms.

Agentio will facilitate payment of the bid amount to the applicable Creator. All transactions are settled in US Dollars. Brand shall remit payment to Agentio, plus applicable sales tax or value-added tax, if any. Fees do not include any taxes, including, but not limited to, value-added tax (unless applicable), sales tax (unless applicable), use tax, or withholding tax, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal, or foreign jurisdiction (“Taxes”). Agentio assumes no responsibility for paying income taxes on your behalf. You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your purchases hereunder, other than Taxes on Agentio’s income.

If we invoice you, you agree to pay all amounts due within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice. Past due invoices are subject to interest on any outstanding balance of the lesser of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by law.

You may also pay for an Ad or Brand Ad License by using a valid payment card through the applicable third-party payment provider. You must provide the third-party payment provider with valid payment information. You acknowledge and agree that Agentio does not operate, own, or control the payment provider and that your use of your payment card is governed by your agreement with and the privacy policy of the payment provider, not these Terms. You agree to immediately notify the payment provider of any change in your billing address (or other information) for your payment card. By providing your payment information, you agree that we may place a pre-authorization hold and, after your request has been fulfilled, authorize the payment provider to immediately charge you for all amounts due and payable with no additional notice to or consent from you. No returns, exchanges, or refunds will be issued.

We may suspend or cancel your bids/requests for Ads if: (i) your payment method is declined, or (ii) you have previously been banned or removed from our Service for any reason. We also reserve the right at any time to change our fees and payment procedures, including payment options and terms, either immediately upon posting on our Service or by other notice to you.

7.2 Creators.

Subject to these Terms, Agentio will facilitate payment to you of the full amount of a Brand’s bid that you accepted through our Service, provided that you have fulfilled the Ad request, promptly after the applicable Brand remits payment to Agentio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time up to and including ten (10) business days after fulfillment of the Ad request, i.e., after Creator Content (and the Ad therein) is posted/uploaded to the applicable Property(ies), Creator Content (and/or the Ad therein) is taken down for any reason by you or by the Property(ies) on which it was posted/uploaded, you agree to refund Agentio any and all fees already paid to you by Agentio in connection with such Ad request. The refund may take the form of a wire or check sent by you to Agentio or a set-off against future fees due to you. All transactions are settled in US Dollars. Any Taxes Agentio collects will be remitted to the applicable tax authority. Agentio assumes no responsibility for paying income taxes on your behalf. Agentio is not responsible for, and will not withhold or remit, (i) any contributions, payments, taxes, or deductions for Social Security, retirement benefits, unemployment insurance, annuities, or pension or welfare fund payments required by law or any labor union, or any withholding or taxes, or (ii) residual or any other type of payment or contribution to any third-party related to Creator or on Creator’s behalf, including to any agency or manager or under any union or collective bargaining unit agreements to which Creator may be subject.

You agree to register with the third-party payment provider selected by Agentio, which we may change in our sole discretion. You may not use a payment provider other than the one selected by us. You will provide the payment provider any information required in order to receive payments via the payment provider, e.g., information about the bank account that you own at a regulated financial institution. Any payments due to you from Agentio will be made via the payment provider. If you do not provide the payment provider with all required information, you may not be able to receive the payments due to you. Agentio will not be responsible for any damages, delays, losses, costs, expenses, or liabilities arising out of or in connection with your inability to receive payments as a result of your failure to provide such information. You acknowledge and agree that Agentio does not operate, own, or control the payment provider and that your use of your payment card is governed by your agreement with and the privacy policy of the payment provider, not these Terms. You agree that we are not responsible for any delay, failure, damage, or liability caused by a payment provider or your failure to timely or properly set up an account with the payment provider or otherwise provide requested information for payment.

Agentio may from time to time make available to Creators, through the Service or otherwise in writing, a list of potential Creators it wishes to participate in the Service (each, a “Target Referral”).

Eligibility to participate in this Referral Program is limited to individuals registered with and designated within the Service as Creators. Brands and Creator’s managers, agents, representatives or other affiliates may not participate on behalf of a Creator or use or disseminate a Creator’s Referral Link (as defined below). The Referral Program cannot be used for affiliate lead generation or other commercial purposes. Employees, officers, directors, contractors, agents, and representatives of Agentio (other than Creators themselves in such capacity) may not participate in the Referral Program.

7.3.2

When a Creator selects a currently listed Target Referral for referral, Agentio will provide a unique referral link with respect to such Target Referral (a “Referral Link”). If the Target Referral uses the Referral Link to create an account with the Service and completes and Ad in accordance with these Terms within six (6) months of creating such account (a “Completed Referral”), after payment by the applicable Brand of all amounts due to Agentio with respect to such Ad as further set forth in Section 7.1, Agentio will pay the referring Creator and the Target Referral each a one-time referral fee in the amount designated within the Service (each, a “Referral Fee”). While, subject to Agentio’s sole discretion, a Referral Link may remain active indefinitely prior to resulting in a Completed Referral, if the Target Referral has not created an account with the Service within one week of the Referral Link being generated, another Creator may also request a Referral Link with respect to the same Target Referral. Each Target Referral may result in only one Completed Referral and may only be paid one Referral Fee with respect to its own registration and use of the Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, each referring Creator acknowledges and agrees that if a Target Referral does not use your Referral Link when creating an account with the Service, has previously created an account with the Service (with another code, under another name, or otherwise), has previously begun the on-boarding process for the Service, or if anyone else has received or is receiving a Referral Fee from us in connection with that Target Referral, no Referral Fee will be due to you as the referring Creator. You further acknowledge and agree that each Target Referral may have only one referring Creator, and that we are not obligated to pay a Referral Fee to more than one referring Creator with respect to any Target Referral. Except as explicitly set forth in this Section 7.3, the Referral Program and payment of any Referral Fee will otherwise be subject to these Terms, including Section 7.2.

7.3.3

This Referral Program may be used only for personal purposes and you may share Referral Links only with your personal connections. You may not advertise any Referral Link or share it with anyone other than your friends, family, or other personal contacts (for example, you may not share it on a social media channel). We reserve the right to revoke or refuse to issue any Referral Fees for Target Referral that we suspect were generated through improper channels or otherwise in violation of these Referral Terms. You represent and warrant that any messages you use to share a Referral Link with your personal connections will: (i) be created and distributed in a personal manner; (ii) not be distributed in a bulk manner; and (iii) not be an unsolicited commercial email or a “spam” message under any applicable law or regulation. Any messages that do not meet these requirements are expressly prohibited and constitute grounds for immediate termination of your account and/or participation in this Referral Program.

7.3.4

Agentio reserves the right to modify the terms of the Referral Program and/or suspend or terminate the Referral Program or any Creator’s participation in the Referral Program at any time for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, we reserve the rights, in our sole discretion, to: (i) review and investigate activities undertaken in connection with the Referral Program and suspend your account, modify the amount of the Referral Fee, or take any other action; and (ii) deactivate your account and any Target Referral’s account, cancel all related Referral Fees, and/or seek repayment, if we determine that either the referring Creator or the Target Referral: (a) has tampered with this Referral Program; (b) has used (or attempted to use) this Referral Program in a fraudulent, abusive, unethical, dishonest, or otherwise questionable or suspicious manner; (c) has breached any of these Terms; or (d) has violated any law or regulation or infringed or violated the rights of any third party. A violation of this Section 7.3 may also result in the forfeiture of all Referral Fees you earned through the Referral Program.

8. TERMINATION

You may cancel your Service account at any time by contacting us at support@agentio.com. We reserve the right to terminate any user’s access to our Service at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion. If you violate any of these Terms, your right to use our Service automatically terminates.

Without limiting any other rights set forth in these Terms, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and/or your access to our Service (or otherwise take any action on your account): (i) if, as applicable, you are fifteen (15) days or more overdue on a payment, (ii) if we deem such action necessary as a result of your breach of Section 3, (iii) if we reasonably determine such action is necessary to avoid harm to us (including the security of the systems used to provide our Service) or other users, or (iv) as required by law or at the request of governmental entities. For example, if you are a Creator, we reserve the right to withhold any payments due to you or terminate your account, if we become aware of alleged misconduct, your material breach of these Terms, or other behavior that could do harm to our reputation. 

Upon any expiration or termination, you will immediately cease any further use of our Service. In addition, upon such expiration or termination, Agentio will make any of your materials/content, including any of your Confidential Information therein, that you uploaded or stored in our Service available to you for electronic retrieval for a period of thirty (30) days. Any terms that by their nature extend beyond expiration or termination of these Terms will survive.

9. CLASS ACTION WAIVER; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS

9.1 CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

YOU AND AGENTIO EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT:

  1. ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, (ii) YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE YOUR ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, MASS, COLLECTIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, (iii) THERE SHALL BE NO CLASS CLAIMS, CONSOLIDATION, OR JOINDER ALLOWED IN ANY ARBITRATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES, (iv) IF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS FOUND INAPPLICABLE TO YOUR DISPUTE WITH AGENTIO, THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER WILL CONTINUE TO APPLY IN LITIGATION, AND (v) YOU AGREE THAT THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF OUR CONTRACT AND THE TERMS AND THAT IT MAY NOT BE SEVERED.

    THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OF DIFFERENT USERS INTO ONE PROCEEDING, NOR SHALL THE ARBITRATOR HAVE THE POWER TO HEAR ARBITRATION AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. SIMILARLY, ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT THAT AGENTIO MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY USER MAY NOT BE BROUGHT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION PROCEEDING.

9.2 Arbitration Agreement and Wavier of Certain Rights.

9.2.1 Arbitration. You and Agentio agree to resolve any disputes between you and Agentio through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and Agentio each hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any controversy, claim, counterclaim, or other dispute arising between you and Agentio relating to these Terms or our Service (each a “Claim,” and collectively, “Claims”). Any Claim will be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will be in writing, will include the arbitrator’s reasons for the decision, will be final and binding upon the parties, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs, or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies.

9.2.2 Cost and Fees. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Agentio will pay as much of the administrative costs and arbitrator’s fees required for the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the cost of the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs of arbitration and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.

9.2.3 No Preclusions. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Agentio from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Agentio each also have the right to bring any qualifying Claim in small claims court. In addition, you and Agentio each retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions, and any such request will not be deemed to be either incompatible with these Terms or a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms.

9.2.4 No Class Representative. You and Agentio each agree that with respect to any Claim, neither may: (i) act as a class representative, or (ii) participate as a member of a class of claimants. You agree that no Claim may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only individual Claims (whether brought by you or Agentio). The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

9.2.5 Severability; No Waiver; Survival. If any provision of this Section 9 is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed appropriately modified to give effect to the intent of the provision or, if modification is not possible, will be severed and the remainder of this Section 9 will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section 9 will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver will not waive or affect any other provision of these Terms. This Section 9 will survive the termination of your relationship with Agentio.

9.2.6 Thirty (30) Day Opt Out Right. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement, written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Agentio, Inc. 185 Wythe Ave f2, Brooklyn, NY 11249. Your notice must include your name and address, any usernames, each email address you have used in connection with your interactions on our Service or to set up an account (if applicable), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You agree that if you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

9.2.7 Limitations. This Section 9 limits certain rights, including the right to maintain certain court actions, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in AAA rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief. In addition, other rights that you or Agentio would have in court may not be available in arbitration.
