Terms and privacy

Terms of use

We know. You’ve seen this a million times before, and your finger is poised to scroll at supersonic speeds to the bottom and get this thing over with. We’re just as bored as you. But this is important.

We’ve created these terms of use in a simple, straight forward format. This is a legal document; it’s important to know what you are agreeing to. By using this website, you are agreeing to these terms of use. The terms of this agreement are subject to modification from time to time, and the effective date of the current terms is set out at the end of the page. We will inform you if anything within this agreement changes. It is also important that you read our Privacy Policy; by agreeing to these terms, you are affirming that you have read, understood, and agree to our Privacy Policy.

Thanks for your time!

Legal agreement

This is a legally binding agreement between you and the Company. This agreement dictates how you are allowed to use this website and how you interact with the Company and Formli and all websites operated by Formli (collectively, “Formli”).

This agreement and the terms of use it contains apply both to your use of such websites and to any other services Formli may provide (such as assistance in creating content or placing advertisements of messages).

Who can use formli

Users of Formli (or other websites or services of Formli) need to be over the age of 13. If anyone over 13 but under the age of 18 wishes to use this website, their legal guardian needs to set up their account, approve their usage of the site, and be present when they use it. If you are a foreign national without legal permanent resident status in the U.S. (ie. a green card holder), you are not permitted to buy or place political messages through our website or other services. Political messages are any messages that express advocacy for the election or defeat of a candidate for political office. Any ad that solicits funds for a political campaign or committee are also forbidden for Foreign Nationals. If you are a citizen of Cuba, Iran, Sudan, the Crimean Region, Syria, North Korea or any entities that are the target of U.S. or European Union sectoral sanctions, you are not permitted to use this website or other services for any purpose. If you are subject to legal restrictions on your activities, you are responsible for assuring that your use of our websites and services complies with those restrictions. For example, if you are a non-profit organization, you are responsible for assuring that your use of this website is consistent with applicable limitations on political activities.

What we do

Formli allows you to create and place advertisements and messages on other websites and provides agency services. Make sure you don’t make messages or behave in any way that would violate the terms of service or advertising policies of such other websites. The platforms that may be accessible through Formli and whose policies must not be violated include Bing, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, Spotify, and Twitter. Bing’s advertising policies can be found here. Facebook’s advertising policies can be found here. Google’s advertising policies can be found here. LinkedIn’s advertising policies can be found here. Pinterest’s advertising policies can be found here. Snapchat’s terms of service can be found here. Spotify’s advertising policies can be found here. Twitter’s advertising policies can be found here. Any platforms that we provide access to in the future will also have terms of service that you will need to look over before you make messages, place advertisements, or use their websites.

How to act

Formli puts power in the user’s hands. It is important that all users of our websites and services behave responsibly and respectfully. Any illegal activity, harassment or abuse, publishing or unauthorized use of personal information, unauthorized use of any photographs or other content, fraudulent claims or schemes, impersonation, username stealing/selling/squatting, intellectual property infringement, spam, malware distribution, claims of endorsement by Formli, degradation, unauthorized data mining, or unauthorized penetration testing is forbidden. If you do any of these things we have the right to ban you from our websites, discontinue providing any other services to you, and pursue any legal action we deem appropriate.

Creating messages

Formli allows you to create and place messages on other websites. While we want to facilitate your creation of effective advertisements, we are not responsible for their content or success. Formli is not responsible for and cannot be sued over any lack of advertisement effectiveness; we are not responsible for any negative backlash that your ad may receive; we are not responsible for any lost revenue or public scrutiny that may come about because of your ad. Additionally, we are not responsible for the timeliness of your advertisement; your ad will not run until after it has passed our and the review process of the platforms on which it is placed. We reserve the right to block any or all messages. You are responsible for assuring that the content of any messages you create or place is accurate, complies with any legal restrictions on your activities (see Section Two and Section Four above and Section Thirteen below), and does not violate anyone else’s rights (see Section Twelve below).

What we stand for

We offer users the ability to communicate their ideas through an extremely effective medium. While we stand for free speech and discourse, we by no means endorse or condone any or all of the views that are propagated through our websites. We do not screen and review all content; if something you believe is objectionable or inappropriate is placed through our website, please report it to us so that we can review and potentially remove it. However, we are not liable for any damages caused by content created or used by users, whether or not caught by our review process. Further, content removal and user banning is something that we want to do judiciously; it may take time for us to decide whether or not to do this. Our websites allow users to “share” that they have used our website on various social media/websites.

Account actions

As long as you are an eligible user (see Section Two above) and you follow these terms of service, you are free to create and use an account on Formli. Information that you provide us about you needs to be accurate and complete. If you provide false, misleading or incomplete information, we can remove your account. Purchasing and selling of accounts is forbidden. If you lose access to your account, contact us and we will do what we can to help you. If we are unable to grant access to a lost account, we are not responsible. If you wish to delete your account, contact us and we will do so.

Service

Formli offers supplementary agency services. These are services offered beyond the base use of the platform, may be subcontracted, and as noted above are subject to the same terms as the base use of the platform, unless otherwise provided in a separate agreement specifically covering such services. Where such services include assistance in creating advertisements and messages, you remain responsible for their content, success and compliance with any applicable laws or regulations (see Section Five above).

SMS

Experience by Formli is an SMS outbound, customer service, and chatbot-enabled service that allows for interactive digital experiences on the web and through texting. By opting in, you may receive informative, instructive, or question-based messages.

You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Just text "STOP" to [650-855-8725]. After you send the SMS message "STOP" to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.

If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program you can reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or you can get help directly by emailing talk@formli.com.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency may vary. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.

Pricing

Current pricing information is available on the pricing or funding page of this website and users are responsible for paying the pricing as applicable at the time of use and complying with any additional terms outlined on the pricing or funding page.

Payment in advance is required before any message will run on or through any of our websites.  Payment for other services is due upon receipt of the invoice, which may be in advance of the rendering of such services.  Any amount not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of  1 ½% per month.  If we have to take legal action to collect any amount due, you will pay or reimburse our costs, including legal fees.

Platform Fees and User Responsibilities

By using the tier of Formli that includes a fixed all-inclusive platform fee on all payments made through the platform (which may encompass payment fees among others), you acknowledge that this fee, whether termed as a platform, convenience, or service fee, is part of your subscription cost. This fee is non-refundable and is tailored to cover assorted costs linked to the operation and sustenance of Formli's services.

You possess the choice to either shoulder these platform fees as a business expense or opt to pass them on to your customers. Should you decide on the latter, it is your exclusive responsibility to independently research the legality of imposing such fees in your jurisdiction, to transparently disclose these fees to your customers, and to deal with any and all implications or ramifications of this choice. By using Formli’s software, you certify that you have conducted this independent research and agree to indemnify and protect Formli from any claims, losses, or damages arising from your decision to transfer these fees to your customers or any other related action.

Additionally, while our technology enables the passing along of various fees, including convenience and service fees across all tiers, it does not make definitive legal judgments or statements regarding the acceptability or legality of such fees in any jurisdiction, including MA. We strongly advise seeking legal counsel for precise guidance on this matter.

Formli, including its partners providing support, emphasizes that the recipient of the funds, not Formli or its partners, bears all liability associated with the imposition, communication, and legality of these fees. We reserve the right to revise these fees or introduce new ones, ensuring to provide reasonable notice as detailed in these terms.

Likeness

As a user of our websites or technology, you grant Formli an unrestricted and unlimited right to share your name, associated company(ies) or organization(s), your story, any likenesses, and any content or information you upload to the site or otherwise provide to Formli, including through tagging Formli on social media platforms. You are solely responsible for ensuring our right to this information.

As a user of our services, you grant Formli an unrestricted and unlimited right to share your name, associated company(ies) or organization(s), your story, any likenesses, and any content or information you provide to Formli, including through tagging Formli on social media platforms, for the  purpose of advancing your work. You are solely responsible for ensuring our right to this information.

Intellectual property and copyright infringement, and privacy rights

Formli facilitates the ability of users to publish content to the internet, but users are responsible for their content (see Section Five above). With respect to content placed on our or through our websites, if someone has violated any copyright or other rights you have, please contact us and we will endeavor to do what we reasonably can to assist, but we are not liable for any damages caused by such an infringement or violation. As a user, do not post content that violates anyone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights. If you post original content on Formli, you are responsible for ensuring it is your intellectual property. If you use or share with Formli someone else's content, you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to do so. If you post photographs or other likenesses of anyone else or their property, you are responsible for ensuring that you have their consent (or if applicable, such as in the case of someone too young to legally consent, the consent of their guardian or someone legally authorized to agree on their behalf). By posting content to or sharing content and information with Formli, you are granting Formli an unrestricted right to use or modify your intellectual property and data, including for commercial purposes. Data and personally identifiable information shared with Formli will be subject to Formli’s privacy policy and your rights to this information include Formli’s right to use per its privacy policy. Content produced by Formli for its own purposes is wholly owned by Formli. Technology and websites produced or managed by Formli for its own purposes or for a client is wholly owned by Formli. Content produced by Formli for a client and first party and client report data collected by Formli for a client is co-owned by Formli and the client for which the work is performed. All content on Formli should be considered Formli's or a Formli user’s intellectual property. Your use of this content is restricted to the platform or the place where Formli provides this content outside the platform. If you use any of Formli's intellectual property in a non-permissible way, you are breaking the law and we will pursue any legal action we deem appropriate.

Compliance

As an advertising platform and agency, Formli is facilitating the creation and running of messages and ads on your behalf. As the user, you are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

Indemnity

The fact that we facilitate your use of the internet and social media channels does not make us liable for any damage, obligation, or expense you may incur, or for any damages you may cause anyone else or that may result from your messages or ads or their content, including your legal fees or defense in court. You are responsible and liable for your actions on our websites. Further, if Formli or any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, officers, partners or licensors is sued or incurs any liability whatsoever because of: (1) your actions, (2) resulting from information or materials that you provide to us, (3) the content of your messages or ads, (4) work that we conduct at your direction, you are agreeing to pay for it, including our legal fees and other costs of defending against any claim, or (5) any filings, compliance reports or similar submissions you file or fail to file, you are agreeing to pay for it, including our legal fees and other costs of defending against any claim.

Modifications and warranties

Formli software can be modified and changed at any point. Formli is used “as is” and “as available.” We reserve the right to alter Formli whenever we deem appropriate. We cannot guarantee that Formli will be available in an uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free way. If you lose any work or suffer any losses, we are not responsible. If you have epilepsy, it is possible that a seizure could commence due to light patterns that could be present on the website. Please consult a physician if you begin to experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary motions or convulsions.

Limitation of liability

Under no circumstances shall Formli, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or suppliers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, resulting from your use or inability to use Formli services.
