Prospect Insight Terms of Service

The Prospect Insight terms of service govern the use of the marketing automation suite.

1. LEGAL AGREEMENT

Pardot LLC ("Pardot") and its affiliates provide web-based marketing automation software (collectively, "Prospect Insight"). These Prospect Insight Terms of Service, along with Your Subscription Form comprise a legal agreement ("Agreement") between You and Pardot and govern Your use of  Prospect Insight. By making use of Prospect Insight, you agree to be bound by these terms of service, which can be modified periodically.

"You" means You, Your company, Your employees, and anyone who has access to use Your Prospect Insight account. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to subscribe to and use any Prospect Insight service.

"Subscription Form" means the ordering documents representing the initial purchase of Prospect Insight as well as any subsequent purchases agreed to between the parties in writing form time to time.

2. SERVICES

Pardot shall make Prospect Insight available to You pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, (i) Prospect Insight shall perform materially in accordance with the associated documentation, and (ii) the functionality of Prospect Insight will not be materially decreased from that available as of the Effective Date. You agree that your purchase of subscriptions is not contingent upon the delivery of any future functionality or features nor is it dependent upon any oral or written public comments made by Pardot with respect to future functionality or features.

You acknowledge that Pardot is the sole owner of all intellectual property rights in and to the Software and all web sites provided by Pardot in connection with Prospect Insight (the "Sites"), including but not limited to the structure, organization, design, algorithms, methods, templates, data models, data structures, logic flow, and screen displays associated therewith. All customizations, enhancements, modifications and new code made available to You pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed "Software" hereunder and shall be owned by Pardot. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, You will not copy, modify, display, rent or unbundle the Software. In addition, You will not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, and will not otherwise attempt to reconstruct or discover the source code for the Software. The Software and the Sites shall be used only by You for Your sole and exclusive benefit, and shall not be used to provide time-sharing or other similar services for the benefit of any third party. Pardot reserves all rights in the Licensed Product not expressly granted to You hereunder.

3. RIGHTS GRANTED TO PARDOT

You allow Pardot to reference our relationship on a listing of Pardot customers. Pardot may also request the right to use your logo and/or trademark on Pardot’s website or in certain marketing material. Pardot agrees to obtain permission from You prior to using you logo and/or trademark.

4. FEES

You agree to pay the fees for Prospect Insight in the amount and frequency as set forth in the applicable pricing plan for your account type. You are solely responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of any use of Your Pardot account by You or anyone else using Your account. Pardot reserves the right to modify the fees charged for Prospect Insight from time to time, provided that the price for current accounts is increased by no more than 10% per year until reaching market rate.

Allowing a credit card to expire or not submitting payment by check regardless of invoice receipt status will not automatically cancel Your account as Pardot maintains all account data, allow subscriptions to occur, and allow You access to Your account. You will remain responsible for paying the monthly charge, which will accrue to Your account, until Pardot receives a cancellation notice.

Pardot will send notice to the email on record if a card is declined. Pardot may also follow-up by phone or mail. Pardot reserves the right to send delinquent accounts to a collection agency if they are not paid within 3 months.

5. TERM, TERMINATION, AND CHANGES TO SERVICE

There are no set terms for the use of Prospect Insight and your account can be terminated at will by giving written notice to Pardot, at any time. Pardot pre-bills monthly fees one month in advance and this fee is not refundable except as outlined below.

Pardot may terminate or suspend this Agreement with immediate effect if, in Pardot’s sole judgment, You breach any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All provisions of this Agreement relating to payment; disclaimers; limitation of liability; confidentiality; and Pardot’s proprietary rights shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Pardot may change any of the Pardot’s Services at any time and from time to time without notice. In the event that Pardot were to terminate the service altogether, Pardot will provide You with a pro-rata refund of any pre-paid fees associated with such Prospect Insight.
