GetResponse MAX Terms of Service

I. General provisions

These Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service”) have been created to govern your use of GetResponse services in MAX and MAX² plans (the “Service”). The Service is a business-to-business service only which means that we provide it to customers who subscribe to the Service for purposes relating directly to their trade, business or profession.

To use the Service, you need to execute a GetResponse Order Form for the GetResponse MAX or MAX² Service or any other written agreement, including the GetResponse MAX (previously: Enterprise) or MAX² Service Agreement (an “Order”), which incorporates these Terms of Service, Privacy Policy (as determined in Section XI below) and Anti-Spam Policy (“Anti-Spam Policy”), each as amended from time to time and made available on the GetResponse website-all of the foregoing (collectively: the “Service Documents”). An Order, including any exhibits thereto, the Service Documents and SLA (if applicable) collectively constitute the “Agreement”. 

GetResponse shall perform the Service and provide Service Credits as set forth in the Service Level Agreement (“SLA“) if so agreed in your Order.

Depending on your location, the Service is provided to you by GetResponse S.A. (previously: GetResponse sp. z o. o.) or its subsidiaries, including: GetResponse Inc., GetResponse Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. and GetResponse Tecnologias Brasil ltda.

For purposes of the Terms of Service, “GetResponse”, “we”, “us,” and “our” mean one of the entities mentioned above with which you concluded the Order.

By executing an Order and/or using the Service, you are agreeing with GetResponse that you understand and will comply with all of the terms of the Agreement.

II. The Service

1. General

1.1    The Service consists of the following:

a. access to and use of the user-facing elements of our web-based, SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model platform (the“Software”), as made generally available to our other customers, that allows the customer (“Customer,” “you” or “your”) to create, send, and manage marketing campaigns and contacts on the GetResponse platform, by using tools such as: Newsletter Creator, Landing Page Builder, Marketing Automation Software, SMS Marketing and others;

b. technical configuration of the Software, under arrangements made between GetResponse and the Customer before providing full access to the Software; and

c. providing the Customer with support services provided by the Customer Experience Department relating to the effective use of the Software.

1.2 The Service includes the following:

a. one main Customer account, with a database capable of storing and managing marketing contacts and sending marketing campaigns (the “Main Account”),

b. the capability of automatic communication between the Service and the Customer’s system through the Service API,

c. individual Internet Protocol address(es) (IPs) allocated for the Customer’s sending channels at GetResponse are available only for MAX² plans and for legacy MAX plans only if so agreed in your Order.

1.3     You may use the Service to send communication only to those recipients who have permitted you to add them to your marketing lists and have not subsequently withdrawn such permission (“Contacts”) unless you have another valid legal basis to process your Contacts’ personal data within the Service.

2. Main Account and Accounts

2.1    The Main Account may be accessed only with the use of your login credentials. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your Main Account.

2.2    Within the Main Account, you may create additional accounts (“Accounts”) and render them available to others whom you authorize to use your Accounts (“Users”). Creating Accounts for Users does not create any legal relationship between us and such Users. You are solely responsible for all Users’ activities, acts and omissions in connection with the Main Account and Accounts, as well as for your own acts and omissions. You are not entitled to sell, lease, rent nor licensee access to your Main Account or Accounts to third parties, especially as an unassisted service, without our prior consent.

2.3. You acknowledge and accept that:

i. you are solely responsible for the conduct of your Users, the Main Account and any Accounts, including but not limited to: (i) ensuring that the Users use the Service in accordance with the Agreement (including but not limited to these Terms of Service) and applicable law, (ii) the consequences of granting access and authorizations to the Main Account and Accounts and the data and Content (defined below) associated therewith, and (iii) the payment of any fees accrued in connection with the use of the Main Account and Accounts, whether by you, any of the Users or otherwise;

ii. you are solely responsible for creating, suspending and terminating Accounts except as otherwise provided herein;

iii. you are solely responsible for assuring technical support to the Users;

iv. any claims of the Users related to the use or non-use of the Accounts and the Service, as well as for their suspension and/or conduct resulting in the termination, deactivation or suspension of the Agreement or any Main Account or Accounts, shall be resolved solely by you; you shall indemnify and hold harmless GetResponse from any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses resulting from such claims.

2.4  We provide the technical support of the Customer Experience Department only to the User of the Main Account, not to any of the Users of Accounts.

2.5. Fees for exceeding the number of Users and Accounts Limit (as agreed in your Order) in a given Settlement Period are calculated based on the peak number of accounts (Main Account and Accounts) and their active individual Users (i.e., the User’s status was set in position “ON” in the Main Account or Accounts) during any moment of the given Settlement Period. Upgrade of the mentioned limits is valid until the end of the current Agreement period.

3. Upgrade and Downgrade

3.1    You may upgrade your Service or order an add-on at any time. If you upgrade the Service, the fees applicable to upgraded or added services will take effect immediately, with such increased fees calculated on a pro-rated basis, taking into account the number of days remaining in the then-current Settlement Period (defined in Section V below).

3.2    If you purchase an add-on during the current Settlement Period, we will align your add-on billing cycle with your payment cycle, so that the payment dates for all services under your Agreement are in line. The initial fee for the add-on will therefore be calculated in proportion to the number of days remaining until the end of the then-current Settlement Period. In case of a downgrade, no adjustment will be made during the then-current Settlement Period.

3.3    Upgrades regarding changes in the payment method or ordering additional services (e.g. IPs, the Transactional Emails feature, and/or increasing your number of Users, Accounts  Limit, Contacts List Size, Email/Transactional Email Volume Allowance, Facebook Ads or other add-ons/additional services offered by GetResponse), may be requested via email to upgrades@getresponse.com and shall be effective upon confirmation by GetResponse.

3.4 In exceptional cases, with our express consent it may be possible to suspend the Service. The terms and conditions of such suspension must be agreed with the employee of the Customer Experience Department and confirmed by the Customer by sending an email to upgrades@getresponse.com. The Service suspension shall be effective upon confirmation by GetResponse.

4.  Domains

4.1    You are solely responsible for providing domain/sub-domain and verification of whether any selected domain or sub-domain name infringes any third-party rights, as we cannot and do not perform such verification and we expressly disclaim any liability arising directly or indirectly in connection with any such domain or sub-domain names. We reserve the right to block any domain or sub-domain, or cancel or change the name of any domain or sub-domain that you select, including but not limited to, if we are ordered to do so by a court or other governmental authority or reasonably believe that we must do so to avoid infringement or violation of the right of any third party or GetResponse. 

4.2    In connection with the provision of our Website Builder add-on, we enable you to integrate your landing page(s) either with sub-domains provided by us or with your own domains.

5. Webinars

5.1    The Webinar feature allows you to organize online conferences (“Webinars”) for a certain number of participants (“Participants”). You may use this feature for conferences in which you take part as an active Participant.

5.2    When organizing a Webinar, you are solely responsible for notifying all Participants that personal data and information disclosed during the Webinar can be transmitted to other Participants and third parties.

5.3    You are not allowed to run more than one Webinar at a time within one Account. Please bear in mind that Webinars may be unavailable in any particular location.

6. SMS Service

6.1 The SMS functionality allows you to send text messages to an unlimited, correct and verified list of telephone numbers at rates set out in the price list mentioned in the Account. Payment terms are specified in section V items 17 and 18 of these Terms of Service. 

6.2 The SMS functionality entails the use of Third-Party Services. By using the SMS functionality, you agree for us to use subcontractors’ services involving SMS dispatch (“SMS Subcontractors”). By using the SMS service, you authorize us and SMS Subcontractors to send text messages created by you to telephone numbers indicated by you. GetResponse assists in the SMS dispatch only and cannot interfere with their contents. 

6.3 By entering a trade name or trademark to fill in the ‘Sender’s name’ field, you submit a statement confirming the right to use a trade name or trademark and consent to its use for GetResponse and the SMS Subcontractor to render the service. The statement is submitted to the Account before dispatch. We reserve the right to verify the Name of the sender designated by you. If the statement is not submitted or if in doubt regarding the legality of the submitted statement we can suspend the possibility to use the SMS service until doubts have been clarified or refuse the SMS service if there is no clarification. 

6.4 You confirm that you have the right to use the data used in the SMS service including the telephone number specified in the list of recipients. You undertake to execute the rights vested in data subjects, including responding to communications demanding the cessation of the dispatch of SMS dispatch to those addressees who did not consent to that or who withdrew their consent. 

6.5 GetResponse does not verify the correctness of numbers supplied by you. The list of numbers to which the SMS are sent shall be available in the Account for 30 days as of the dispatch. After that time, the list of numbers shall be automatically deleted from the system with no possibility of recovery. It is your sole responsibility to create backups of files and data you use while using the SMS service. We are not responsible for any damage relating to their loss. 

6.6 The SMS service is available for selected locations; however, we continue to work on the expansion of the list of suppliers enabling the widest possible range of the service. The SMS functionality does not make MMS messaging possible.

6.7 Some countries and/or local operations have different standards, regulations and restrictions around messaging campaigns. The rules are implemented to ensure good deliverability and prevent fraud, such as SMS phishing attacks. You must comply with local restrictions and regulations to protect your sender’s reputation and ensure your messages reach your recipients. If you need help figuring out where to start, check the list of country-specific features and restrictions provided by our provider of SMS functionality, available HERE. GetResponse shall not be liable for any consequences if your SMS campaigns are rejected and/or undelivered by local operators.

6.8 You can verify the technical status of the SMS service at any time HERE.

7. Additional features (add-ons) and services

7.1    You may use certain additional features (add-ons) we provide, or integrate third-party services with the Service. The third-party services are not provided by GetResponse. Your ability to use some of the add-ons and third-party services may be limited under separate terms and conditions provided by the service provider offering a specific add-on and additional terms (“Additional Terms”) defined by GetResponse HERE. 

7.2    The current list of third-party services you may integrate the Service with can be found in your Account. 

8.  Transactional Emails

The Transactional Emails feature allows you to send transactional messages to chosen email addresses and check the statistics of those messages. The transactional Emails feature allows you to send email to recipients who have concluded a transaction with you or in any other way agreed to receive such messages and have not removed such consent. Please remember, that GetResponse only facilitates the transmission of your messages and cannot interfere with the content of those messages.

9. Beta-test Versions

From time to time GetResponse may offer a beta-test version of new features. This allows customers to try new solutions we come up with and helps us better understand your needs and develop the Service accordingly. If you decide to use a feature available in the beta-test version, you agree that:

9.1 the feature is available only for a limited period of time and can be deactivated at any time and at our sole discretion;

9.2 the feature is available only to a limited extent and may be modified at any time and at our sole discretion; 

9.3 GetResponse does not warrant that any feature made available in the beta-test version will be included in the Service, we are not obliged to maintain or support any such feature, and we may cease the development of any such feature at any time and at our sole discretion;

9.4 You are solely responsible for the consequences of using a beta-test version, including but not limited to, any impact such use may have on your Main Account settings, set or planned campaigns, collected data and other information, or otherwise. Please remember that once we deactivate a beta-test version of a feature, certain processes that took place with respect to your Main Account, set or planned campaigns, collected data, and other information cannot be reversed, and GetResponse shall bear no responsibility or liability for any consequence resulting therefrom;

9.5. At the end of a beta-test version period, one or more beta-tested features may be made available for a separate fee (e.g., as a paid add-on), or as a component of the Service.

10. AI Product Recommendations

AI Recommendations is a functionality that enables you to add a product recommendation frame on your website or into your email. Notwithstanding the number of recommended products or recommendation frames used, one view of the website containing a product recommendation frame by your client or sending one email containing a product recommendation frame is calculated as 1 (one) AI Recommendation. Current AI Recommendation pricing may be found here.

11. Professional Services

11.1 You can use an additional package of dedicated technical support for the Service (“Professional Services“). The method of providing Professional Services (e.g. by phone or e-mail) depends on the Plan selected in the Order.

11.2 The scope of the particular Professional Services task (hereinafter referred to as the “Professional Services Order”) and the calculation of the hours necessary to complete it will be based on your description. GetResponse will start to proceed with the Professional Services Order after a mutual confirmation of the hours necessary to complete it.

11.3 The estimation of hours is only a forecast of the expected time necessary to perform the Professional Services Order and may change.

11.4 GetResponse reserves the right to change the date of Professional Services Order completion in the event of disclosure of new information or circumstances unknown at the time of accepting it.

11.5 Unused hours of the Professional Services package are not transferred or carried over to subsequent Settlement Periods.

11.6 At your express request, GetResponse will provide a report after the completion of the Professional Services Order.

11.7 GetResponse is not responsible for the effects of the performed Professional Services Order, in particular for achieving marketing or sales goals.

11.8 In case of disclosure of new information related to the implementation of the Professional Services Order, which makes it difficult or impossible to provide adequate support, GetResponse reserves the right to refuse to perform the Professional Services Order before or during its implementation.

12.       Mobile Push notifications

12.1      Mobile push notifications are messages that can be sent directly to a user’s mobile device via a Customer’s app (“Mobile Push”). To be able to send them, you need to have a mobile app written in native Android (Kotlin/Coroutines), native iOS (Swift/UIKit), or Flutter platform (Dart) and create/configure your own Firebase account.

12.2      The deliverability of Mobile Pushes is related to the functioning of Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and the proper integration of your Firebase account, and it is beyond our control, so we shall not be responsible for such deliverability. Please note that Mobile Pushes can be switched off by the end user and will not be delivered in such cases.

12.3      We add mobile device users’ consent for Mobile Pushes to our database if registered via our software development kit (SDK). We may remove those consents from our database: (i) automatically if a consent is not updated for 60 days, (ii) a token is invalid (mobile device user uninstalls/reinstalls application, mobile device user clears the application data or disables notifications for that app in the device settings), (iii) on the mobile device user’s action. 

12.4      Mobile Push pricing is based on the peak number of mobile device users who have given consent to receive your Mobile Pushes within a calendar month. Any unused limits are not transferred or carried over to subsequent months.

13. Content Creator toolkit 

13.1 Content Creator toolkit is a set of features that allow you to create and monetize your content in the form of courses or premium newsletters (“Creator’s Content”) available to end users registered on the hub.getresponse.com platform (“Hub”). You can create your own subpage with all the Creator’s Content you created via our Service (“Creator’s Profile”). Separate terms regulate the relationship between us and Hub end users, being students or premium subscribers to Creator’s Content.

13.2 Customers providing Creator’s Content and GetResponse are each intended to be independent contractors and not employees, partners, or joint ventures of one another, and neither shall have any authority to bind or incur any obligation or liability on the other’s behalf. Customers are considered separate controllers of the personal data they collect from and about the Content Creator’s end users. Customers are also responsible for providing an appropriate privacy notice to their Creator’s Content end users, respecting their privacy rights under applicable law, including by providing access to or deleting their personal data if they request and as required by applicable law.  

13.3 GetResponse is not responsible for interactions between Customers and Hub end users, except for providing the technological means through which Customers may broadcast and otherwise make their courses, digital downloads, premium newsletters, and other content available to end users. GetResponse only provides Customers with limited information about end users enrolled in the Creator’s Content, including name, email address, IP address, and the Customer’s offering in which the end-user has enrolled, including the status of the transaction and activities related to the Creator’s Content. This information is only available to the Customer upon the purchase or enrollment in the Creator’s Content.  

13.4 GetResponse is not responsible for setting the pricing on the Creator’s Content nor for transactions. Prices for Creator’s Content are set by you. You are solely responsible for setting any refund policy regarding the sale of the Creator’s Content to its end users. End users may pay for the Creator’s Content directly to you using third-party payment platforms such as Stripe and PayPal, subject to restrictions on certain payment methods depending on your country and choice. You are solely responsible for paying all commissions and fees due to third-party payment platforms such as Stripe and PayPal and accept that such fees may be deducted from payment made by Hub end users. We reserve the right to change or add the payment provider at any time, in which case you agree to take whatever steps we may advise to migrate to another provider. Any attempt to bypass the payment system available via Hub to avoid transaction fees may result in the suspension or cancellation of your Account. 

13.5 For the avoidance of doubt, GetResponse will not be the seller or merchant of record and will have no responsibility for Creator’s Content or offerings sold to end users through Hub. You are responsible for all taxes applicable to the Creator’s Content and for paying those taxes in a timely manner when due and payable, determining the taxes that apply to transactions occurring between you and end users of your Creator’s Content; and collecting, reporting and remitting the corresponding taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in a timely manner when due and payable.

Accordingly, fees for use of the Service within the terms of your Subscription are due and payable in advance, unless otherwise stipulated in your Order.

3. All fees are net amounts exclusive of taxes. Where appropriate, value added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST) or any other tax on sales (irrespective of the designation of the tax adopted in various jurisdictions) will be added to the payment price in accordance with currently effective rates. You agree to pay any taxes applicable to your use of the Service. You represent that you are registered for VAT or GST purposes in your country. At our request, you will provide us with the VAT or GST registration number under which you are registered. If you are required to deduct or withhold any tax, you must pay the amount deducted or withheld as required by law and pay us an additional amount so that we receive payment in full as if there were no deduction or withholding.

4. Please note that some taxes depend on the region, province, state, town or district where you are located. You need to provide us with your correct address at all times, as we do not bear any responsibility resulting from the wrong calculation of taxes due to the inaccurate or wrong indication of your address by you.

5. All fees due to GetResponse shall be paid by bank wire transfer, ACH, PayPal or credit card, subject to restrictions on certain payment methods depending on your country, by the applicable due date. We will indicate the bank account to which the payment shall be transferred. Please note, that the availability of the above-mentioned payment methods depends on your location and the Service provider you concluded the Order with. 

6. If you add a credit card to your available methods of payment, you hereby agree that all amounts then due to GetResponse shall be paid automatically by credit card on the first day of each applicable Settlement Period. In the event that the credit card you provided us with expires or any credit card information changes or becomes out of date, in order to procure continuity and avoid Service interruptions, you hereby authorize us to obtain or determine updated or replacement information, in particular expiration dates or credit card number, and to continue billing on the same terms using the updated or replacement information. We are not responsible for any fees charged by payment service providers.

7. When you pay via wire transfer, PayPal or ACH, the term “Settlement Period” shall mean a calendar monthly period, and the first Settlement Period shall begin on the Commencement Date indicated in your Order (“Commencement Date”). All the fees shall be paid by the Customer within 14 (fourteen) days of the date of issuing the invoice, to GetResponse’s bank account indicated on the invoice. The first and the last invoice may be issued for a period shorter than the full Settlement Period.

8. If you add a credit card to the available methods of payment, the term “Settlement Period” shall mean each successive period of 30 (thirty) consecutive calendar days, starting on the day the credit card has been added. All the fees shall be paid in advance and your invoice will be issued by GetResponse after the payment.

9. You shall be in default if we do not receive payment after the due date. If you are in default of payment, we will be entitled to charge interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law and exercise other rights as defined herein.

10. If you exceed any of the limits you have paid for under your Subscription, you will be required to pay additional fees. Fees for use of the Service in excess of your Subscription during a given Settlement Period will be invoiced in arrears and:

a. if you pay via credit card – the fee shall be paid automatically on the first day of the Settlement Period following the Settlement Period during which the limits were exceeded;

b. if you pay via wire transfer, PayPal or ACH – the fee shall be paid within fourteen (14) days from of the date of issuing the invoice by GetResponse.

11. Except as expressly stated in the Agreement, all payments under the Agreement are non-refundable. For clarity, if your Agreement is concluded for a definite period of time and:

a. you have prepaid for your Service – you are not entitled to any refund in the case of the termination of the Agreement before the end of the current Term;

b. you have agreed to monthly payments or payments in installments (as agreed separately in your Order) – you are still obliged to pay GetResponse the whole fee given in your Order, even if you decide to terminate the Agreement earlier. In that case, the fee for the Settlement Periods remaining till the end of the current Term shall be paid within 14 days after the terminated notice was received by GetResponse (when you terminate the Agreement) or paid within 14 days of when the termination notice was issued by GetResponse (when GetResponse is entitled to terminate the Agreement earlier on the basis of the Agreement e.g. your material breach or spamming).

12. Please note that the termination of your Agreement or access to the Service by GetResponse for any cause (as determined in section X point 3 below) also does not release you from the obligation to pay all remuneration due under your Agreement.  

13. Fees for the use of the Service are based on the Subscription you have purchased. Not using the Service, irrespective of the cause, does not entitle you to a refund or any reduction in the fees you are required to pay to GetResponse. Similarly, you are not entitled to any such refund or reduction if you delay access to the Services or do not have the ability to use the Service.

14. Any unused Service limits, such as unused Email Volume Allowance, or unused Contacts List Size, are not transferred or carried over to subsequent Settlement Periods.

15. If we determine fees based on the number of your Contacts’ email addresses, we will monitor for the peak number of your Contacts’ e-mail addresses accumulated in all your lists, Main Account and Accounts in a given Settlement Period, which means that your Contacts are unique within each list, but not within the entire Main Account and Accounts. 

16. To determine the fees due in a given Settlement Period, the highest number of the Contacts’ email addresses is taken into account. A downgrade of the number of email addresses within a given Settlement Period does not change the fees due for the use of the Service.

17. The payment for the SMS service is executed as a prepayment based on the current price list available in the Account. We reserve the right to change the price list at any time. The value of funds available is visible in the Account. A VAT invoice will be issued automatically after the payment. A report containing the number of correctly delivered SMS messages will be available in the Account after the dispatch. The final cost of the dispatch will be calculated based on the report.

18. You can use funds paid as a part of the SMS service within 12 months as of the last top-up. Funds unused during that time shall expire.
