You use such Third Party Service at your own risk. You further agree and acknowledge that Voodoo may terminate such Third Party Service’s ability to interact with the Products at any time, with or without notice, and in Voodoo’s sole discretion, with no liability to you or the third party. 4. Fees and Payment 4.1 Fees for Email Marketing Product. For the Email Marketing and Video Products, you will be subject to monthly subscription fees in accordance with Voodoo’s current fees. Depending on the program or service(s) you select, Fees may be based on the number of campaigns and/or number of email broadcasts permitted during the current pre-paid month of service, or may allow “unlimited” broadcasts, as defined at the sole discretion of Voodoo. You will be required to submit payment monthly in advance for the Email Marketing and Video Products (unless you have already provided payment or means of payment, such as credit card information) and may purchase, in advance, a monthly subscription for the Email Marketing Product and Video Products. Access to the Email Marketing Product and Video Product (including active video links from previously sent campaigns) will be disabled until payment is received. Fees will be billed monthly or your pre-paid account will be debited monthly for the Email Marketing Product and Video Product, even if you are not actively using the Email Marketing Product and Video Product. 4.2 Fees for Survey Product. For the Survey Product, you will be subject to monthly subscription fees in accordance with Voodoo’s current fees. In general, the Survey Product is bundled with a complete Voodoo Campaign Manager account. You will be required to submit payment monthly in advance for the Survey Product (unless you have already provided payment or means of payment, such as credit card information) and may purchase, in advance, a monthly subscription for the Survey Products. Access to the Survey Product will be disabled (including active survey links from previously sent campaigns) until payment is received. Fees will be billed monthly or your pre-paid account will be debited monthly for the Survey Product, even if you are not actively using the Survey Product. 4.3 Fee Schedule; Discounts. You are responsible for remaining aware of the fees charged by Voodoo as posted on our website (www.voodooviral.com) or through direct email contact with you that may be sent from time to time. Fees are subject to change at any time at Voodoo's sole discretion. Voodoo will use good faith efforts to notify you via email prior to the effective date of any change to the fees for the program(s) in which you or your company participate. If you receive special discounts through a marketing partner, those discounts may not be available if you cease to continue to be a customer of the marketing partner, in which case Voodoo's standard rates will apply. Voodoo may rely on information provided by the applicable marketing partner, if any, with respect to the status of your account. Repeated uploading and removing of unique email addresses in an attempt to circumvent Voodoo's Fee Schedule and billing procedures is prohibited. 4.4 Payment. Payment for Products will be made by a valid credit card accepted by Voodoo, in most cases with automated monthly recurring billing. Checks will be accepted for prepayments of at least six (6) months. Fees are payable in U.S. dollars. If the monthly payment option is selected or if you have previously provided your credit card for payment, you hereby authorize Voodoo to charge your credit card for such amounts on a regular monthly basis beginning immediately (or at the end of your free trial period, if any) and continuing until such time as your account is terminated. If Voodoo is for any reason unable to effect automatic payment via your credit card, Voodoo will attempt to notify you via email and your Voodoo account will be disabled until payment is received. Amounts paid for the Products are not refundable. 5. Email, Permission Practices, Image Hosting & Prohibited Content 5.1 Subscriber Opt Out. Every email message sent in connection with the Products must contain Voodoo’s automatically inserted "unsubscribe" and “spam abuse” links that allow subscribers to remove themselves from your mailing list and report potential spam behavior, plus a link to the then-current Privacy Policy, which may be viewed at http://www.voodooviral.com/uidocs/VoodooPrivacyPolicy.pdf Each such link will remain operational indefinitely following the date on which you send the message, and must be in form and substance satisfactory to Voodoo. You acknowledge and agree that you will not remove, disable or attempt to remove or disable any such links. Voodoo automatically processes most unsubscribe requests. However, you shall monitor and process unsubscribe requests received directly by you within 10 days of submission, and update the email addresses to which messages are sent through your Voodoo account. Under the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, you acknowledge that you are responsible for maintaining and honoring the list of unsubscribe requests following termination of your account and this Agreement. 5.2 Permission Practices. You agree to import, access or otherwise use only Permission-Based Lists in connection with your use of the Products. You hereby covenant that you shall not use any other lists in connection with your use of the Products. If you have used the Voodoo feature that allows you to request a recipient to confirm that you have his or her permission to send emails to him or her, and such recipient has not responded or does not respond affirmatively to such request for confirmation, you agree that you shall not send emails to that recipient. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that you shall not utilize the Product to send any commercial electronic mail message (as that term is defined in the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003) to any person who has opted out or otherwise objected to receiving such messages from you or another sender on whose behalf you may be acting. You cannot mail to distribution lists, newsgroups, or spam or unsolicited email addresses. You cannot copy a Voodoo template or any other features or functionality from the Products and use them for any purpose other than sending email messages from the Products. Emails that you send through the Product may generate spam complaints from recipients. As a matter of privacy, Voodoo cannot share with you the email addresses of those who complain about your email campaign. You are responsible for ensuring that your email campaigns do not generate a number of spam complaints in excess of industry norms. Voodoo, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether your level of spam complaints is within industry norms, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes under this Agreement. Voodoo will terminate your use of its Products if Voodoo determines that your level of spam complaints is higher than industry norms. 5.3 Footers. For every email message or online video sent in connection with the Products, you acknowledge and agree that Voodoo may add an identifying link stating "Powered by Voodoo Viral Marketing Systems" or a similar message. 5.4 Images. Images hosted by Voodoo on Voodoo-controlled servers may only be used in connection with the Products and for no other purpose whatsoever. To the extent you use images provided by Voodoo, Voodoo hereby grants to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable sublicense to use the images in an unaltered state solely in connection with your use of the Products. 5.5 Prohibited Content. Voodoo prohibits the use of the Products or web site by any person or entity that:

Voodoo, at its own discretion, may immediately disable your access to the Products without refund if Voodoo believes in its sole discretion that you have violated any of the policies listed above or elsewhere in this Agreement. 6. Restrictions and Responsibilities 6.1 No Rights in Software. This is an Agreement for services and access to and use of the functionality of Voodoo web sites, and you are not granted a license to any software to reside on your own computer(s) by this Agreement.

Unless you are an authorized reseller of the Products, you may not display, copy, reproduce, or distribute the Software, any component thereof, any documentation provided in connection with the Products or the Software, or any content, including but not limited to newsletters, distributed to you by Voodoo in connection with the Products. Violation of these restrictions may result in the termination of this Agreement. 6.2 Permitted Use of the Products. The Products shall be used for your internal business (which includes civic or charitable) purposes only, and you shall not use the Products or any Software for timesharing or service-bureau purposes or otherwise for the benefit of a third party. If you are using the Products in any jurisdiction which restricts the ability of a software provider to restrict your right to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, object code, or underlying structure, ideas, or algorithms of the Software or Products, then you hereby covenant that, prior to engaging in such activities, you will first request that Voodoo perform such work at its standard professional services rates. Voodoo can then decide either: (i) to perform the work in order to achieve such interoperability and charge its then standard rates for such work to you; or (ii) to permit you to reverse engineer parts of the Software in order to obtain such source code, but only to the extent necessary to achieve such interoperability or (iii) provide you with the information that you need regarding the Software for the purpose for which applicable law permits you to engage in such activities despite a contractual prohibition on such activities. 6.3 Compliance with Laws; Monitoring. You shall use the Products only in compliance with this Agreement, the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and regulations thereunder and all other applicable U.S., state, local and international laws (including but not limited to policies and laws related to spamming, privacy, obscenity, or defamation, copyright and trademark infringement and child protective email address registry laws). Although Voodoo has no obligation to monitor the content provided by you or your use of the Products, Voodoo may do so and may block any email messages, remove any such content or prohibit any use of the Products that Voodoo believes may be (or is alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing. 6.4 Indemnification. You hereby agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Voodoo and its business partners, third-party suppliers and providers, licensors, officers, directors, employees, distributors and agents against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements, and expenses (including without limitation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with any claim or action that (i) arises from any alleged breach of this Agreement, (ii) arises from the content or effects of any messages you distribute using the Products or (iii) arises from your activities or postings on the Voodoo Community, (iv) otherwise arises from or relates to your use of the Products. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that Voodoo has the right to seek damages when you use the Products for unlawful purposes, in an unlawful manner, and/or in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, and that such damages may include, without limitation, direct, indirect, special, incidental, cover, reliance and/or consequential damages. 6.5 Your Information. In using the varied features of the Products, you may provide information about yourself or your employer (such as name, contact information, or other registration information) to Voodoo. Voodoo may use this information and any technical information about your use of the Products to tailor its presentations to you, facilitate your movement through the Product, or communicate separately with you. If you accessed the Products as a result of solicitation by a marketing partner of Voodoo, Voodoo may share your information with the marketing partner and the marketing partner may share related information with Voodoo. Except as described above. Voodoo will not provide your information, including your contact and account information, to third parties whom you have not authorized to receive such information, except (i) as required by law or court order, including without limitation judicial process and law enforcement, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with law or a court order or (ii) if your Voodoo account was terminated from due to unsolicited commercial email being sent from your Voodoo account. Voodoo will never sell or rent your contact lists to anyone without your permission and acknowledges your ownership right in your contact lists. In the event Voodoo amends or revises the policy described in the immediately preceding sentence, it will provide advance notice of such amendment or revision. 6.6 Intellectual Property Rights in Your Content.

By submitting ideas, concepts, inventions, or content to this web site or using them in connection with the Products, you agree that such submission is non-confidential for all purposes. If you make any such submission, you agree that you will not send or transmit to Voodoo or to any third party using the Products, any communication or content that infringes or violates any rights of any party. If you submit any business information, ideas, concepts or inventions or content to Voodoo by email, you agree such submission is non-confidential for all purposes. If you make any submission to this web site or if you submit any business information, idea, concept or invention to Voodoo by email, you automatically grant—or warrant that the owner of such content or intellectual property has expressly granted—Voodoo a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, create derivative works from, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display such content in any manner. 6.7 Use of Links in the Survey Product.
