Each Order Form, and the provision of any services thereunder, shall be subject to this Agreement as of the date the Order Form is entered into between Bold and Customer (the "Effective Date").
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ORDER FORM(S) ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE PARTIES CONSTITUTE A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND BOLD. THIS AGREEMENT GOVERN CUSTOMER’S ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES. BY ENTERING INTO AN ORDER FORM WITH BOLD THAT REFERENCES THIS AGREEMENT OR BY USING THE SERVICES, CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE LINKED DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT), AS REVISED FROM TIME TO TIME, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PARTIES ENTER INTO A WRITTEN AGREEMENT GOVERNING THE USE OF AND ACCESS TO THE SERVICES THAT EXPRESSLY STATES THAT CUSTOMER SHALL NOT BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, IN WHICH CASE CUSTOMER WILL BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THE WRITTEN AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES. IF CUSTOMER IS DISSATISFIED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TERMS, CONDITIONS, RULES, POLICIES, GUIDELINES OR PRACTICES APPLICABLE TO THE SERVICES, CUSTOMER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE ACCESS TO AND USE ALL ASPECTS OF THE SERVICES.
IF CUSTOMER IS USING THE SERVICES ON BEHALF OF AN ORGANIZATION, CUSTOMER REPRESENTS THAT CUSTOMER HAS THE AUTHORITY TO BIND THAT ORGANIZATION TO THIS AGREEMENT, IN WHICH CASE “CUSTOMER” WILL REFER TO SUCH ORGANIZATION. IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY, OR IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SOLUTION OR THE SERVICES.
This Agreement is effective on the earlier of the date (a) Customer enters into an Order Form for the Services that makes reference to this Agreement, or (b) access or otherwise use the Services.
1. Services.
a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bold will provide the services to the Customer set out in and in accordance with the applicable Order Form using the technology, hardware, applications software, systems, data, documentation and other materials used by Bold to deliver the respective services (the “Bold System”) (collectively, the “Services”). Each Order Form is automatically deemed to include all terms and provisions of this Agreement.
b. To the extent applicable to the Services, the Services shall be provided in accordance with (i) the technical, functional, physical, design, environmental, operational, performance or other relevant specifications or requirements set out or linked to in an applicable Order Form (subject to Section 3 of this Agreement) (“Specifications”); and (ii) the service levels set out or linked to in the applicable Order Form (“Service Levels”).
c. The Bold System may provide access to or integrate with certain applications or software platforms that are managed or developed by third parties (“Third-Party Software”), the use of which is governed by the applicable Third-Party Software terms and conditions. In such instance, the Customer’s use of the Services and Bold System shall be subject to and conditional upon the Customer’s acceptance to any Third-Party Software terms and conditions.
2. Customer Communications and Consent
a. Bold sends two types of communications to Customer’s customers who use Bold’s apps (“Merchant Customers”): functional ones (like order update emails) and, where requested by the Customer, marketing ones (like reorder nudges via email, SMS, push or browser notifications). Customer is responsible for ensuring that Merchant Customers have agreed to receive marketing communications and for keeping Merchant Customer marketing preferences current. The Bold System will check the marketing consent status on the Customer’s ecommerce platform before sending any promotional nudges.
i. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Bold may send transactional communications to Merchant Customers on behalf of the Customer. Transactional communications include, but are not limited to, upcoming order reminders, order confirmations, billing updates, and cancellation notices. These communications are deemed necessary for the performance of the Services and the underlying contract between the Customer and the Merchant Customer; as such, they do not require independent marketing consent under most applicable laws.
ii. For non-transactional communications, such as reorder nudges, personalized recommendations, or promotional messaging (“Marketing Communications”), Bold will only send such messages on behalf of Customer where a Merchant Customer has provided valid opt-in consent.
b. The Bold System is designed to interface with Customer’s ecommerce platform to identify and respect the "marketing consent" or "opt-in" status of each Merchant Customer. Customer is solely responsible for:
i. Ensuring that its ecommerce platform and checkout processes accurately capture and record Merchant Customer consent in compliance with applicable laws (e.g., TCPA, CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA);
ii. Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of such consent; and
iii. Ensuring that its own privacy policy accurately discloses that third-party service providers (like Bold) may send communications on Customer’s behalf.
c. Bold shall not be liable for any Marketing Communications sent based on inaccurate consent data provided by Customer’s ecommerce platform. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Bold harmless from any claims arising out of the unauthorized sending of Marketing Communications where Customer’s platform indicated that consent had been obtained.
3. Restrictions.
a. Customer may grant its employees and independent contractors (“Authorized Users”) access to and use of the Services subject to any limitations, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
