Last Updated October 2, 2023

Thanks for using the BridgeTower Media premium data services (including the website, and mobile and web-based applications, and any other tolls, products, or services provided by BridgeTower that link to or reference these Terms (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are provided by BridgeTower OpCo, LLC, d/b/a BridgeTower Media (“BridgeTower,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), located at 7025 Albert Pick Rd., Greensboro, NC 27409, U.S.A.

By using our Services, you are agreeing to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). Please read them carefully. Our Services are very diverse, so sometimes additional terms or product requirements (including age requirements) may apply. If additional terms or conditions are available with or applicable to the relevant Services, then those additional terms become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services. By accessing or using the Services, you intend and agree to be legally bound by these Terms. You may wish to print or save a local copy of the Terms for your records.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE LIMIT OUR LIABILITY AND THAT YOU ARE RELEASING US FROM VARIOUS CLAIMS IN SECTION 6 AND 7 BELOW.

You must follow any policies made available to you within the Services.

Don’t misuse our Services.  For example, don’t interfere with our Services, try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide, or extensively or automatically copy any content from the Services (in other words, no scraping). You may use our Services only as permitted by law, including applicable export and re-export control laws and regulations. We may suspend or stop providing our Services to you if you do not comply with our terms or policies, if we are investigating suspected misconduct, or for any other reason.

Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services or the content you access through them (“Content”).  Content includes leads and other data made available for your use (collectively, “Leads”). You may not use Content, except as permitted in these Terms, by its owner, or as otherwise permitted by law. These Terms do not grant you the right to use any branding or logos used in our Services, including the BridgeTower name and logo. Don’t remove, obscure, or alter any legal notices displayed in or along with our Services.

Our Services display some Content that is not our own.  For example, some Content belongs to our advertisers, other third parties, or other users (collectively, “Third Party Content”) or is Your Content (as defined in Section 5 below).  We are not responsible for, and we shall have no liability whatsoever with respect to, Third Party Content or Your Content. Third Party Content and Your Content is the sole responsibility of the individual or entity that makes it available via the Services. We may review Third Party Content or Your Content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our policies, and we may remove or refuse to display Third Party Content or Your Content that we believe violates our policies or the law. But we do not generally review content beforehand, and we are not obligated to do so.

Leads are the confidential information of BridgeTower. Subject to these Terms, you may use Leads solely for your own marketing purposes and not for the benefits of any third party.  You may not disclose Leads to any third party, except your service providers who have a need to know such information and are bound by written obligations of confidentiality and non-use. You may not modify or create derivative works of Leads.  You, and not BridgeTower, are solely responsible for ensuring that all Leads are used in strict compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and all applicable laws, regulations, administrative rules and guidance, including those relating to unfair or deceptive advertising practices, consumer fraud, spyware, adware or malware, privacy or data security, and online sweepstakes or contests.

You must delete or destroy all Leads immediately upon the earlier of the following: (i) you or BridgeTower closes your BridgeTower account or you otherwise cease to use or subscribe to the Services, or (ii) BridgeTower instructs you at any time to delete one or more Leads (for example, if an individual has made a rights request under applicable privacy laws or you breach your obligations under these Terms).

You may not use any Lead in connection with Prohibited Materials. “Prohibited Materials” means, as determined in BridgeTower’s reasonable discretion: (i) pornography or sexually explicit content; (ii) materials that promote or glorify violence, firearms, or other weapons; (iii) materials communicating hate or discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age; (iv) materials promoting illegal activities; (v) profane or obscene language; (vi) materials that infringe or violate the rights of others (including copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy and/or publicity rights); (vii) defamatory, libelous, obscene, offensive, indecent or harmful material; (viii) materials that violate any applicable laws, regulations, or regulatory or self-regulatory guidelines relating to online advertising or promotions, including, without limitation, the CAN-SPAM Act and its implementing and interpretive regulations and guidance (collectively, “CAN-SPAM”) and laws, regulations and guidelines relating to unfair or deceptive advertising practices or consumer fraud, spyware, adware or malware, online privacy and/or data security, or online sweepstakes and contests; and (ix) materials targeted to or directed at individuals under eighteen (18) years of age.

In connection with your use of the Services, we may send you service announcements, administrative messages, and other information.

You are responsible for controlling access to any PCs, mobile devices, or other end points that you allow to store your Services password, or on which you enable a “Remember Me” or similar functionality (“Activated Device”). Accordingly, you agree that you will be solely responsible for all activities that occur under your Services accounts, including the activities of any individual with whom you share your Services account or an Activated Device.

To protect your account, keep your password confidential. You are responsible for the activity that happens on or through your account. If you learn of any unauthorized use of your password, please contact us by email at [email protected] or by phone at 1-877-615-9536.

We may require you to maintain valid credit card or other payment account information with us in order to receive the Services, and if so, you hereby authorize us to charge your credit card or other payment account for the Services. Your right to purchase Leads through the Services is conditioned upon our receipt of payment. If a payment cannot be charged to your credit card or if a charge is canceled for any reason, or if you fail to maintain valid, up-to-date payment information or to keep your payments current, we reserve the right to immediately either suspend or terminate your access and account immediately without notice, thereby terminating these Terms. Any failure to maintain valid, up-to-date payment information with us or to keep your payments current will constitute a material breach of these terms, for which we may suspend or terminate your access to the Services immediately without notice. Interest will be charged on all unpaid delinquent amounts at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lesser. You agree to reimburse us for all collection agency fees, attorneys’ fees and other costs we may incur to collect delinquent amounts you owe to us.
