Use of the Signal Service – Terms and Conditions

Who These Terms Apply To

These terms apply to you if you are using the Signal Service under an agreement between you and Signal Digital, Inc. (dba Signal) and that agreement specifically references these terms. Signal agreements that might reference these terms include agreements and subscription agreements, but there may be other types of Signal agreements that reference these terms as well. In these terms, we will refer to the agreement between you and us simply as “our agreement.”

By executing our agreement, you are agreeing to these terms, so please read them carefully. We update these terms from time to time, at our discretion, to reflect changes in our service, changes in the law, etc. The last time we updated these terms was February 21, 2020. Updates to these terms after the effective date of our agreement will apply to you before you use the Signal Service, you should review these terms and familiarize yourself with any provisions applicable to that feature or functionality of the Signal Service you are utilizing in our agreement.

In the event you purchase Signal Solutions through the Signal Identity Platform, the following terms will apply: Signal Master Subscription Agreement

What the Signal Service Is All About

You can use “Signal Tag” to manage and control the insertion of tag code and data collection code on, and to deliver server-direct data requests to integrated services from, your websites and mobile websites. If you’ve signed up for it, and depending on which features you’ve signed up for, you can also use “Signal FUSE” to:

  • collect data from websites, mobile websites, mobile applications, email messages, advertising impressions, CRM systems, POS systems, and other sources of data (collectively, “ Data Sources”)
  • sync customer profiles across channels
  • share all that data with your third party marketing, analytics, and other technology vendors and
  • capture all that data for your own use.

We refer to Signal Tag and Signal FUSE together as the “ Signal Service.” Also, we refer to the Data Sources for which you actually use the Signal Service, which may be limited by the terms of our agreement, as “ Your Data Sources.” When you start using the Signal Service, we will give you access to an integration library file, SDK, or API (depending on the types of Data Sources, features you will be using, etc.) (collectively, the “ Signal Code”). You will also be given access to the Signal Service user interface (the “ Client Interface”) where you can control what data is collected, under what circumstances data is collected, and with whom data is shared.

1. Additional Products and Services

We may, from time to time, offer to you software as services that are new and different from, or complimentary to, the Signal Service (by this we do not mean updates to the Signal Service, even those containing new functionality). If you would like to take advantage of any new software service offered by us, we will enter into a separate agreement describing that software service and the fees to be paid for that software service.

2. Access to and Use of the Signal Service

2.1 Availability and Use of the Signal Service

We will make the Signal Service available for you to access and use on Your Data Sources. You may use the Signal Service for your own Data Sources and any Data Sources owned or controlled by third parties for which you have obtained permission to incorporate the Signal Code. Each Data Source into which you incorporate the Signal Code will be considered one of “ Your Data Sources” for purposes of these terms. You are solely responsible for making decisions regarding which tag code, data collection code, and server-direct data requests (collectively, “ Tags”) to employ, which types of information pertaining to or derived from the presence or interactions of a user on Your Data Sources (“ User Data”) are collected by the Signal Service, the third parties to or through which that User Data is distributed, and any other instructions given to us via the Client Interface. You will endeavor to provide us with reasonable notice of any foreseeable significant increases in your use of the Signal Service or in traffic to Your Data Sources so that we may make any necessary adjustments to the Signal Service platform to accommodate those increases.

2.2 Designated Users

You will set up a separate user login for each individual (who must be an employee of yours or one of your affiliates or your subcontractors approved pursuant to these terms) who will access and use the Signal Service for your company. You are fully responsible for all selections made, or other directions given to us, via the Signal Service by individuals using your user logins to access the Signal Service. You must notify us immediately by emailing support@signal.co of any unauthorized use of your user logins.

2.3 User Data

As between us and you, you own all right, title, and interest in the User Data collected from Your Data Sources via the Signal Service. User Data is your confidential information. Unless instructed by you in writing, we will not store User Data other than as necessary for the Signal Service to collect and distribute User Data in real-time.

2.4 Tags

Nothing about your relationship with us or your use of the Signal Service alters (a) your relationship with your third-party vendors or (b) your responsibility to comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the collection and use of User Data. You are responsible for entering into, performing, and obtaining any necessary consents under all agreements with the third-party vendors whose Tags you opt to use. As a result of the directions you give via the Signal Service, cookies (any file on a device the contents of which can be subsequently accessed and communicated to a server) will be set on users of Your Data Sources. You are responsible for determining whether the setting of those cookies is appropriate. Your selection of a Tag setting a cookie via the Client Interface is an indication to us that you are aware of that activity and have determined it to be appropriate. We make no representations, warranties, guarantees, or indemnification regarding Tags or any other third-party product or service. All interaction between you and third parties providing Tags or other third-party products or services is between you and the third party. Some third-party vendors offer an open API with which clients can develop a direct serverto- server connection. At the request of certain clients, we built integrations to many of these open APIs to allow server-to-server distribution of User Data to these third-party vendors. In the Signal Service Tag catalog, those Tags are identified and are available for you to use. If you opt to use one of those Tags, you will be responsible for the Third-Party Vendor’s use of any User Data you opt to distribute to that Third-Party Vendor via the open API.

3. Fees and Invoicing

3.1 Fees

For any partial or full calendar month during the term of this agreement, Client will pay the monthly subscription fees as described below. The minimum fees and any incremental fees, if applicable will be billed monthly in arrears and are due and payable to Signal in accordance with the payment terms in the agreement.

3.2 Late Payments

If you do not pay undisputed fees when due, we may charge you a late fee at the rate of 1.5% per month (or if lower, the maximum rate allowed by law). If you don’t pay undisputed fees within 15 business days after the payment due date, after reasonable notice to you, we may even suspend your access to the Signal Service until you pay all overdue amounts.

3.3 Taxes

You will pay all federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes, duties, tariffs or other charges, however designated, arising from the transactions contemplated by our agreement and these terms, except for taxes based on our income, which we will pay. If we have a legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for which you are responsible, we will invoice you for the appropriate amount.

3.4 Audit Rights

If you have a good faith, reasonable belief that any amounts invoiced under our agreement are inaccurate, you will contact us regarding the discrepancy and together we will work promptly to resolve the discrepancy. Likewise, if we have a good faith, reasonable belief that any reports provided by you upon which we base our invoices (e.g., reports regarding number of advertising impressions served) are inaccurate, we will contact you regarding the discrepancy and together we will work promptly to resolve the discrepancy. If we are unable to resolve a discrepancy within a reasonable period of time, the party that believes there is a discrepancy may have an independent auditor acceptable to both parties conduct an inspection and audit of all the relevant accounting and sales books, records, agreements, computer systems, and documents. Audits will be (a) limited in scope to determining the accuracy of reports and/or invoices provided under our agreement, (b) conducted during regular business hours, at the audited party’s offices, and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the audited party’s normal business activities, and (c) conducted by each party no more frequently than once every twelve months. The auditor will be considered an agent of the auditing party and, accordingly, subject to the confidentiality provisions included in these terms. The auditing party will be responsible for all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the audit, unless the audit reveals a discrepancy in excess of 5%, in which case, the audited party will be responsible for all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the audit (subject to a cap of $2,500).

4.4 Ownership of User Data

As between us and you, you own all right, title, and interest in the User Data collected from Your Data Sources via the Signal Service. Because the Signal Service will be involved in the collection and distribution of your User Data, we need a license from you regarding that User Data. Accordingly, you grant to us a worldwide, nonexclusive, limited license to access, collect, assemble, compile, analyze, modify, transform, transmit, use, and otherwise distribute or provide access to User Data only as is reasonably necessary to perform our obligations under our agreement and these terms. This license includes, without limitation, the right to: (a) facilitate the transfer of User Data in connection with providing the Signal Service; (b) generate Reporting Data; (c) deploy the Signal Code on Your Data Sources to collect User Data; and (d) cause Your Data Sources to set, read, and modify any file on a device the contents of which can be subsequently accessed and communicated to a server (“ Cookies”).

5. Confidential Information

5.1 Definition of Confidential Information

“Confidential Information” includes any information that is disclosed by one of us to the other that is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or that the receiving party should, in the exercise of reasonable judgment, know is confidential to the disclosing party.

5.2 Obligations with Respect to Confidential Information

Each of us agrees: (a) to protect and safeguard the other’s Confidential Information against unauthorized use, publication or disclosure with the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information and, in any event, not less than reasonable care; (b) to restrict access to the other’s Confidential Information to those of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, investment advisors, and contractors who have confidentiality obligations that afford the Confidential Information a substantially similar level of protection as is afforded by these terms; and (c) not to use, or permit others to use, the other’s Confidential Information except as is reasonably necessary to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under our agreement and these terms. Each of us will return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other upon the termination of our agreement or upon the request of the other.

5.3 Limitations on Obligations

The obligations set forth above do not apply to information that: (a) is already known to the receiving party without restriction on use or disclosure at the time of communication to the receiving party; (b) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or inaction of the receiving party; (c) has been rightfully received from a third party authorized to make such communication, without restriction on use or disclosure; or (d) has been independently developed by the receiving party without use of the Confidential Information of the other party. Notwithstanding any other provision of these terms, each of us may disclose Confidential Information of the other if such disclosure is required by an order of a court or other governmental authority, law or regulation, but only to the extent that any such disclosure is necessary and after notice to the other if practicable. In such case, the party required to make the disclosure will, at the other party’s expense, assist the other party in obtaining an order protecting the Confidential Information from public disclosure, or in otherwise minimizing and limiting the breadth and scope of such disclosure.

5.4 Equitable Relief

Each of us understands and acknowledges that any disclosure or misappropriation of any of the other’s Confidential Information in violation of these terms may cause irreparable harm, the amount of which may be difficult to ascertain and, therefore, agrees that the disclosing party will have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order restraining any such further disclosure or misappropriation and for such other relief as the disclosing party deems appropriate. Such right of the disclosing party will be in addition to the remedies otherwise available to the disclosing party at law or in equity.

6. Termination of Our Agreement

6.1 Termination of Our Agreement.

Each of us can terminate our agreement under these circumstances: (a) if the other party breaches any material provision of our agreement or these terms and fails to cure the breach within 10 business days after receipt of written notice of the breach; or (b) if the other party (i) becomes insolvent, (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) files or has filed against it a petition in bankruptcy or seeking reorganization, (iv) has a receiver appointed, or (v) institutes any proceedings for the liquidation or winding up; provided, however, that, if any of the foregoing is involuntary, the party will only be in breach if the petition or proceeding has not been dismissed within 90 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Signal may terminate our agreement for any reason by providing you with 30 days prior notice. 

6.2 Effect of Termination or Expiration

When our agreement expires, (a) we’ll send you an invoice for all outstanding undisputed fees and terminate your access to the Signal Service and (b) you’ll pay all outstanding undisputed fees and immediately remove the Signal Code from all Your Data Sources. Please note that until you remove the Signal Code from all data sources, it will continue to fire. Accordingly, the terms and conditions or our agreement, including these terms and conditions, will continue in full force and effect, and you will continue to incur monthly service fees, until you have removed the Signal Code from all Your Data Sources. Even after our agreement expires or is terminated, certain provisions in these terms will continue to apply.
