Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Poll Lite FZ-LLC (“Poll-Lite,” “we,” “us,” “our”) website and thank you for using our products and services (“Services”). The following Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern all use of the Services, so please read carefully.

  1. ACCEPTANCE

The Services are offered subject to your acceptance of these Terms, our Privacy Policy and any additional terms and policies (including operating rules, guidelines and procedures) that may apply depending on your particular use of the Services

By using the Services or by clicking on an acceptance box for these Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and all other applicable terms and policies. If you do not agree with these Terms and policies, do not use or access the Services or click on the acceptance box.

If you are using the Services on behalf of a company or any other entity, you agree to these Terms on behalf of that entity and you represent that you have the authority to do so. In such case, “you” and “your” will refer to that entity. Additionally, since the Services are available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and take full responsibility for the selection and use of the Services. These Terms are void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Services is revoked in such jurisdictions.

  1. REGISTRATION

In order to use certain features of the Services, you may be required to register for a Services account. You warrant that any registration information (such as name, contact information, or other information) you submit to Poll-Lite is accurate, complete, and not misleading, and you agree to keep such information up to date. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in immediate termination of your account. To the extent you are able to select a “user name,” you may not (i) select or use a user name that is a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person; (ii) use a user name that is a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization; or (iii) use a user name that is offensive, vulgar, obscene, or unlawful. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel or refuse registration of any user name we believe violates these Terms, our policies, or the law. You shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and other account information. Your login must only be used by one person; a single login shared by multiple people is not permitted. Poll-Lite is not liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this Section 2. We may use your registration information and any technical information about your use of the Services to tailor its presentations to you, facilitate your movement through the Services, communicate separately with you or publish the fact that you are a user of our services.

  1. YOUR CONTENT.

As between you and Poll-Lite, you retain ownership of the intellectual property rights of the content you submit to us (“Your Content”), except for the limited rights that enable us to perform the Services. In short, what’s yours is yours, but we do need certain permissions from you so that our processing, maintenance, storage, technical reproduction, back-up, distribution, and related handling of Your Content does not infringe applicable copyright and other laws. Therefore, in order to perform the Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and irrevocable (for so long as Your Content is stored with us) license to use, reproduce, and display Your Content as reasonably necessary to provide you with the Services. You are responsible for maintaining, protecting, and making backups of Your Content. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for the loss or corruption of Your Content.

  1. OUR CONTENT.

Using the Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in the Services. You agree that all Poll-Lite content and materials delivered via the Services or otherwise made available by Poll-Lite (collectively, “Our Content”) are protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights and laws. Except as expressly authorized by Poll-Lite in writing, you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit, or create derivative works of Our Content. However, you may print or download a reasonable number of copies of Our Content for your own informational purposes; provided, that you retain all copyright and other proprietary notices within the copies. Reproducing, copying, or distributing any of Our Content or Poll-Lite design elements for any other purpose is strictly prohibited without our express prior written permission. Use of Our Content for any purpose not expressly permitted in these Terms is prohibited. Poll-Lite reserves any rights not expressly granted in these Terms.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to remove, modify, prevent access to, or refuse to display Your Content that we believe violates these Terms, our policies, or the law.

  1. ACCOUNTS AND FEES.

Poll-Lite offers a Free period (“Trial period”) that you may use to try out our services at no cost; after this Trial period you may upgrade to any of Poll-Lite paid subscriptions. If you are a paying user of the Services, you shall pay Poll-Lite Service fees in accordance with this Section 6 and our pricing plans located at www.start.poll-lite.com/pricing (“Fees”). You will be billed for your first subscription term immediately upon upgrading to a paid subscription. Subscriptions will automatically renew for a period equal in length to the preceding subscription period. All Fees will be invoiced in advance (on a monthly or annual basis depending upon the subscription you purchase), and the credit card last used by you for a Poll-Lite transaction will automatically be charged at the start of each subscription period. All Fees are non-refundable—without limitation, we shall provide no refunds or credits for partial months of Service, for upgrades or downgrades, or for unused months of an annual account. For any subscription upgrade, the credit card last used by you for a Poll-Lite transaction will automatically be charged the new Fee on your next billing cycle. We reserve the right to change the Fees and to institute new charges and Fees at the end of each subscription period. Unpaid Fees are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with the Services other than taxes based on Poll-Lite net income. All inquiries related to billing and credit card charges should be made in writing to ATTN: Billing/Invoices, Poll Lite FZ-LLC, FDRK4350, Compass Building, Al Shohada Road, Al Hamra Industrial Zone-FZ, Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates or via email to: [email protected]

  1. DOWNGRADING A LICENSE

In the event of a downgrade of any pricing plan to a lower pricing level previously used functionalities only available to the higher license level will be removed and limited to the basic functions of the lower plan. Full access to the survey data, in the case of earlier use of functions from the higher license, will not be available. In order to get access again, it is possible to upgrade the plan at any time.

  1. CHANGES TO THE TERMS

We may amend these Terms from time to time by posting an amended version in the Services and on our website. If you are a Trial period Account user, the amended version will become effective immediately as of the amended version’s Notice Date. If you are a new or returning user who registers for services on or after the Notice Date, the amended version will be effective immediately. If you are a current paying user of the Services, these Terms will continue under their original provisions for your original subscriptions, and the amended version will become effective at the start of your next Poll-Lite subscription period (including any new subscription or any automatically renewed subscription). Your use of the Services after an amended version becomes effective will confirm your acceptance and consent of that amended version. It is your responsibility to check the Services on our website for amended versions of these Terms and to review any changes. These Terms may not be amended in any other way except through a written agreement executed by both you and an authorized representative of Poll-Lite. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may amend our Privacy Policy or all other auxiliary policies at any time by posting amended versions on our website; the amended versions will become effective immediately upon posting.

  1. CHANGES TO SERVICES

Poll-Lite is constantly innovating and evolving the Services in order to provide the best possible experience for our users.

  1. ANTI-SPAM AND E-MAIL POLICY.

Poll-Lite expressly forbids all SPAM (the term “SPAM” meaning the sending of unsolicited e-mail to parties unknown to the sender). If you are found to be using the Services for SPAM, your account will be subject to immediate termination. The Services may only be used in connection with e-mail lists for which recipients have voluntarily registered. Using the Services to send e-mail to an address you obtain without the consent of the addressee is a violation these Terms. You are prohibited from importing e-mail addresses for persons who have not affirmatively and clearly elected to receive your mailings. For clarity, you will only send e-mail to persons who have willingly signed up to receive your mailings. If we receive complaints about your activities under this Section 9, your account may be subject to immediate termination. You will not send e-mail under any company or organization name other than your own company/organization, and you will not send e-mail with fraudulent or misleading header or source information. All e-mail sent through the Services must be expressly for the purpose of collecting data using Poll-Lite online surveys. Sending e-mail through the Services to solicit any actions other than completing Poll-Lite surveys is a violation of these Terms. You are fully responsible for the contents of your messages and the consequences of any such messages. We shall have no responsibility or liability for messages or other content that is created by you. You shall not send, post, distribute or disseminate any defamatory, obscene, or otherwise unlawful messages, material or information, including another person’s proprietary information (including trademarks, trade secrets, or copyrighted information) without express authorization from the rights holder. Poll-Lite will cooperate with legal authorities in releasing names and IP addresses of users who are involved in SPAM or illegal activities.

  1. SERVICE LEVELS

The following services levels and this Section 12 apply to you only if you are a Paid Customer with Active Subscription Agreement:

  • If you are a paying user, are not in breach of this Agreement, and are not delinquent with respect to any Fees, Poll-Lite will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available to you with an Uptime Percentage (defined below) of at least 99.5% during the course of the Uptime Calculation Period (defined below). Our calculation of uptime shall be definitive and final. In the event we determine that we did not meet the uptime commitment, as your sole remedy and Poll-Lite exclusive liability, you will be eligible to receive a credit for an additional month of Services.
  • “Unavailable” means that your Services have no external connectivity during a 5-minute period.
  • “Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of 5-minute periods during the Uptime Calculation Period that the Services were in an Unavailable state, excluding downtime resulting directly or indirectly from Service Level Exclusions.
  • “Service Level Exclusions” are downtimes that shall not be deducted when calculating an Uptime Percentage; the Service Level Exclusions are as follows: (i) downtime caused by factors outside of our reasonable control, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the demarcation point of Poll-Lite servers; (ii) downtime that results from any actions or inactions by you or any third party; (iii) downtime as a result of regular maintenance or patch builds; (iv) downtime as a result of significant upgrades or significant maintenance to Poll-Lite software for which we have given notice; (v) downtime arising from our suspension and termination of your right to use the Services in accordance with these Terms or our policies.
  • “Uptime Calculation Period” is the 365-day period immediately preceding the date you make a confirmed claim via e-mail to your account manager. If you have been using the Services for less than 365 days, the Uptime Calculation Period will still be deemed the preceding 365 days, but any days prior to you becoming a paying user will be deemed to have had 100% availability. Any downtime occurring prior to a successful service credit claim cannot be used for future claims.
  • Any claim must be submitted in writing to [email protected] within 30 days after a complained of Unavailability incident. The claim must include (i) the text “SLA CLAIM” in the subject line, (ii) the dates and times of each Unavailability incident being claimed, and (iii) logs or documentation that corroborate your claimed Unavailability incidents.
