You are and will remain solely responsible for your Submissions and for the consequences of submitting and posting such Submissions. You will be solely liable for any damage resulting from any infringement of copyrights, proprietary rights, or any other harm resulting from your Submissions. When submitting or posting Submissions, you should limit, to the fullest extent possible, the amount of personal data you provide because Submissions may be linkable to you depending on the details you provide.

By sending, posting or transmitting Submissions to SMG (and/or our designee[s]) or any area of the SMG Services, you automatically grant, or warrant that you or any other owner of the material you submit has expressly granted, SMG and our designees a worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers), transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right to use, reproduce, sublicense (through multiple tiers), distribute, create derivative works of, perform and import your Submissions (in whole or in part) in any media now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to you. In other words, SMG has the automatic right to use your Submissions -- including reproducing, disclosing, publishing or broadcasting your Submissions -- anywhere, anytime, in any medium and for any purpose without paying any fee or owing any obligation to you. You also permit any other user to access, view, store, or reproduce your Submission for that user’s personal use.

Submissions you post may be made publicly available. You acknowledge that you have no expectation of privacy with respect to any of your Submissions. You further acknowledge that you make Submissions voluntarily and at your own risk. You should use good judgment when posting information, remarks, or other content regarding SMG, SMG’s Clients, or any other entity or person. You may be held legally responsible for any damages suffered by other users, SMG, or third parties as a result of defamatory or otherwise legally actionable Submissions by you. When posting a Submission, you may choose to link the Submission to your username or to a pseudonym unless applicable laws in your country of residence require otherwise.

SMG is not legally responsible for any Submissions made by users even if such Submissions are defamatory or otherwise actionable. SMG is not responsible for, and does not endorse, opinions, advice, or recommendations posted or otherwise submitted to or through SMG Services. SMG specifically disclaims any and all liability in connection with such Submissions. SMG does not confirm nor verify qualifications, background, or abilities of users or the information they post to or through any SMG Services.

SMG takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any Submission posted by you or any third party. SMG cannot and does not ensure that all users are complying with these provisions, and, as between you and SMG, you hereby assume all risk of harm or injury resulting from any such lack of compliance.

SMG strongly encourages you to minimize the disclosure of any personal data in your Submissions because other people can see and use the personal data in your Submissions. SMG is not responsible for information you choose to communicate via Submissions.

5. THIRD-PARTY SITES & SERVICES

The SMG Services may contain links to third-party websites and services, including social media (collectively, “Linked Services”). Linked Services are not under the control of SMG, and SMG is not responsible for Linked Services or for any information or materials on, or any form of transmission received from, any Linked Service.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH SAYS "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

8. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree, at your own expense, to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SMG and its clients, directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, actions or demands, including without limitation, any money damages, expenses, costs of defense, including reasonable attorneys’ and accounting fees, brought against SMG by any third party arising from your use of SMG Services or your violation of any of these Terms, the rights of a third party or applicable law.

SMG reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification hereunder. No settlement that affects the rights or obligations of SMG may be made without SMG’s prior written approval.

9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Except for any disputes relating to intellectual property rights or obligations, or any infringement claims, which shall be governed by U.S. federal law, any disputes between you and SMG arising out of, or relating to these Terms shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri (United States) regardless of your country of origin or where you access the Services, and notwithstanding any conflicts of law principles. All such disputes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Missouri applicable to contracts entered into and performed within the State of Missouri. You and SMG agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.

YOU AND SMG AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

YOU AND SMG AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 9 AND THAT YOU AND SMG WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING SUCH CLAIMS BEFORE ANY COURT OF LAW. RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION .

Any dispute between you and SMG and its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates arising from or relating to these Terms and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of these Terms to arbitration (collectively, "Covered Disputes") will be subject to binding arbitration in the State of Missouri administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its rules (including its rules and procedures for consumer-related disputes) in effect on the date thereof. Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60 days' advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. SMG will provide such notice by email to the email address you provided when you created your account or by email to an email address you have otherwise provided to SMG; you must provide such notice to SMG by email at privacyofficer@smg.com .

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. If, however, you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, SMG will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse SMG for all fees associated with the arbitration that SMG paid on your behalf which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.

A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms; the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator’s decision must be with written explanation and remain confidential. SMG and you agree that any Covered Dispute will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. NEITHER SMG NOR YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ARBITRATE ANY COVERED DISPUTE AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AND THE ARBITRATOR WILL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS . If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 9 is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration). Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim arising from or related to these Terms must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred. For purposes of this Section 9, these Terms and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).

Note : By agreeing to these Terms, you explicitly agree that any claims or actions that you may otherwise have against SMG under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States are hereby waived, including without limitation, any claims or actions under the laws of your own country, and that your sole location and applicable law for any disputes is in the United States according to the terms of this Section 9.

10. REWARDS

From time to time, SMG may offer you the opportunity to receive rewards, such as reward points, discounts or special offers (collectively, “Rewards”). We will notify you when Rewards are available to you through SMG Services. The benefit of the Rewards may differ as may the validity period, so check the details of each Reward when you receive it. For SurveyMini, after ninety (90) days of inactivity, your rewards points will expire. Your Rewards are for your personal use. You may not transfer, assign, sell, trade or barter your Rewards. Unless required by law, Rewards are not redeemable for cash and may not be combined with any other SMG or client promotion, offer or other discount. No credits or refunds will be issued for any reason after you redeem your Rewards. SMG reserves the right to modify, terminate or suspend the availability of Rewards. You agree to be bound by the decisions of SMG, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Rewards.

11. UPDATES TO MOBILE APPLICATIONS

We may from time to time (in our sole discretion) develop and provide updates for our mobile applications, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches and other error corrections and/or new features (collectively, “Updates”). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality. You agree that SMG has no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality.

Based on your mobile device settings, when your mobile device is connected to the Internet either: (a) the Updates will automatically download and install; or (b) you may receive notice of or be prompted to download and install available Updates.

12. ELECTRONIC CONTRACTING

13. GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS/EXPORT CONTROLS

SMG Services and SMG Content are based in the State of Missouri in the United States and although each may be provided for access and use by persons located outside the United States, you acknowledge that for legal or operational reasons you may not be able to access SMG Services or SMG Content in your jurisdiction. If you access SMG Services or SMG Content from outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local laws, including local laws regarding the import, export, or re-export of SMG Content.

You further agree you will comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing or otherwise making SMG Services available outside the US. Additionally, by downloading any SMG Content, you are agreeing that you are not in a country to which such export is prohibited, and you are not on the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders or the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals.

14. US GOVERNMENT RIGHTS

SMG Services are commercial computer software, as defined in 48 C.F.R. §2.101. Accordingly, if you are an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, you receive only those rights with respect to the SMG Services as are granted to all other users under license, in accordance with (a) 48 C.F.R. §227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. §227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (b) 48 C.F.R. §12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors.

15. TERMINATION

At its sole discretion, SMG may modify or discontinue SMG Services, or may modify, suspend, or terminate your account or your access to SMG Services, with or without notice to you, at any time for any reason, without liability to you or any third party. For example, your Account may be terminated and your access to SMG Services denied, with or without notice, if SMG has reason to believe you are a minor. As another example, SMG may terminate your Account and your ability to use SMG Services, with or without notice, if SMG has reason to believe that you have provided untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information, or have otherwise failed to comply with these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms.

You agree to return or destroy any copies of any Site Materials you have made if we ask you to do so.

Termination will not limit any of SMG’s other rights or remedies. These Terms will expressly survive, and will still be in effect, despite any such modification, discontinuation, suspension, and/or termination.
