Terms and Conditions

Please read these Terms carefully. By using NewPanda or signing up for an account, you’re agreeing to these Terms, which will result in a legal agreement between you and NewPanda (“Agreement”). We’ll start with the basics, including a few definitions that should help you understand these Terms. NewPanda (“NewPanda,” “we,” or “us”) is an online marketing platform (the “App”) that allows you to manage your contacts, and to create, send, and manage certain marketing campaigns, including, without limitation, emails, advertisements, Websites, and mailings (each a “Campaign,” and collectively, “Campaigns”), among other things. The App is offered through our websites, including https://www.getNewPanda.com, and any other website or mobile application owned, operated or controlled by us (we’ll collectively refer to these as the “NewPanda Site,” and together with the App, the “Service”). NewPanda is a Kentucky limited liability company whose legal name is Global Relations Group, LLC dba NewPanda. NewPanda has employees, independent contractors, and representatives (“our Team”). As a customer of the Service or a representative of an entity that’s a customer of the Service, you’re a “Member” according to this Agreement (or “you”).

​

These Standard Terms of Use (“Terms,” including our Acceptable Use Policy, API Use Policy, Cookie Statement, Copyright and Trademark Policy, and Anti-Spam Policy) define the terms and conditions under which you’re allowed to use the Service in accordance with the Agreement, and how we’ll treat your account while you’re a Member. If you don’t agree to these Terms, you must immediately discontinue your use of the Service.

​

Some features of the Service are offered as Additional Features to your NewPanda account ("Additional Features”). Unless expressly stated otherwise, these Terms apply to the use of Additional Features. Some Additional Features are intended for particular use cases and may also have additional terms or restrictions (“Additional Terms”). Additional Terms for Additional Features can be found on our NewPanda Site at NewPanda.com/legal/additional-terms, and Members agree to the applicable Additional Terms at the time they choose to add the corresponding Feature. Also note that a Member’s account may have access to unique features of the Service based on their historic usage or status.

​

If you have any questions about our Terms, feel free to contact us.

​

TERM

​

When you sign up for an account and agree to these Terms, the Agreement between you and NewPanda is formed, and the term of the Agreement (the “Term”) will begin. The Term will continue for as long as you have a NewPanda account or until you or we terminate the Agreement in accordance with these Terms, whichever happens first. If you sign up for an account on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to accept these Terms and enter into the Agreement on its behalf.

​

CLOSING THE ACCOUNT

​

You or NewPanda may terminate the Agreement at any time and for any reason by terminating your NewPanda account or giving notice to the other party, unless under enterprise contract, at which time you must fulfill the specified contract term. We may suspend the Service to you at any time, with or without cause. If we terminate your account without cause, and your account is a paid account, we’ll refund a prorated portion of your monthly prepayment for a Monthly Plan or Annual Plan. We won’t refund or reimburse you in any other situation, including if your account is suspended or terminated for cause, such as for a breach or violation of the Agreement. If your account is inactive for 24 or more months, we may terminate your account and you won’t be entitled to a refund for a prepaid month or year. Once your account is terminated, you acknowledge and agree that we may permanently delete your account and all the data associated with it, including your Campaigns. Usernames are unique and can only be used once. If your account has been terminated, the username will no longer be available for use on any future accounts. This username can be reclaimed if re-starting an account once terminated and NewPanda determines your eligibility.

​

CHANGES

​

We may change any of the Terms by posting revised Terms on our NewPanda Site. Unless you terminate your account, the new Terms will be effective immediately upon posting and apply to any continued or new use of the Service. We may change the Service, Additional Features, or any features of the Service at any time, and we may discontinue the Service, Additional Features, or any features of the Service at any time.

​

ACCOUNT AND PASSWORD

​

You’re responsible for keeping your account name and password confidential. You’re also responsible for any account that you have access to and any activity occurring in such account (other than activity that NewPanda is directly responsible for that isn’t performed in accordance with your instructions), whether or not you authorized that activity. You’ll immediately notify us of any unauthorized access or use of your accounts. We’re not responsible for any losses due to stolen or hacked passwords. For security reasons, we may only provide you with instructions on how to reset your password. We have the right to update any of your contact information in your account for billing purposes. In addition, you represent and warrant that all information you provide to us when you establish an account, and when you access and use the Service, is and will remain complete and accurate.

​

ACCOUNT DISPUTES

​

We don’t know the inner workings of your organization or the nature of your personal relationships. You won’t request access to or information about an account that’s not yours, and you’ll resolve any account-related disputes directly with the other party. We decide who owns an account based on a number of factors, including the content in that account, and the contact and profile information listed for that account. In cases where differing contact and profile information is present or we are unable to reasonably determine ownership, we’ll require you to resolve the matter through proper channels outside of NewPanda.

When a dispute is identified, we may suspend any account associated with the dispute, including disabling login and sending capabilities, to protect the security and privacy of the data held within the account until the dispute is properly resolved.

​

PAYMENT

​

When you sign up for a paid monthly or annual plan, you are required to self-select both your term (monthly or annual) and your package (e.g., Starter, Pro, Premier) (together, your “Plan”) from those posted on our NewPanda Site based on your anticipated use of the Service. Each Plan offers different pricing and feature options. Once you select your Plan, NewPanda will automatically upgrade your Plan if you exceed the limits of your plan. So, give yourself room to grow if you’ll need it! If you exceed your Plan usage limits (either by exceeding your contacts, social networks, or other limited features), you will automatically be upgraded to the appropriate package, which will be detailed on your bill and in your account. You agree to pay any additional charges on or before the next Pay Date. You will always have the option to upgrade to a higher tier at any time. If you upgrade during a billing cycle, you may elect to upgrade your package. In any event, your monthly charge for that billing cycle will be calculated based on the number of days in that billing cycle during which you were at each of the lower tier and the higher tier (including any applicable additional charges for the higher tier). You will also have the option to downgrade to a lower tier at any time, but if you elect to downgrade during a billing cycle, your downgrade will not be effective until the end of that billing cycle, and you will still be charged for that entire billing cycle at the higher tier (including any applicable additional charges for the higher tier).
 

RECURRING BILLING

​

When you sign up for a Plan, you agree to monthly or annual recurring billing, starting on the date you sign up. Billing occurs on the same day each month, based on the date that you started your Plan. Payments are due for any month on the same or closest date to the day you made your first payment (the “Pay Date”). If any part of a month is included in the Term, then payment is required for the full month. If you exceed your self-selected usage limits for your Plan, then you’ll be automatically placed in the appropriate level (as described above) for the billing cycle on or before the next Pay Date, Billing for Plans may be paused, and you may choose to close your account permanently at any time.

​

CONTACTS

​

You may have several types of contacts in your NewPanda account; only deliverable contacts count as contacts in your “deliverable contacts” for purposes of your Plan. Unsubscribed, Bounced, Deleted, and Opt-outs do not count towards your deliverable contacts. You may elect to delete contacts at any time. You cannot engage in any activity through the Service with archived contacts unless and until they are un-deleted If a contact is un-deleted, it will immediately count towards your contact count for your current billing cycle and any future billing cycles unless and until deleted again.

​

FREE PLAN

​

If you use the Service under the free plan (“Free Plan”) and you want to go over the Free Plan limits, you’ll be required to upgrade your account to, and select and pay for, a monthly or annual Plan. Plans are described above. If you exceed your Free Plan limits, or otherwise upgrade your account to a paid Plan, you’ll only be provided one complimentary downgrade to the Free Plan (provided your contacts, social networks, and other plan features drop down to the Free Plan limits again). If you go over the limits for the Free Plan more than once, you’ll no longer qualify for the Free Plan, even if your future feature limits are within the limits of the Free Plan.

​

CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS

​

As long as you’re a Member with a Plan or otherwise have an outstanding balance with us, you’ll provide us with valid debit or credit card (“card”) information and authorize us to deduct your charges against that card. You’ll replace the information for any card that expires with information for a valid one. If your card is automatically replaced with a new card by a payment processor, you acknowledge and agree that we’re authorized to deduct any charges on your account against the new card. Anyone using a card represents and warrants that they are authorized to use that card, and that any and all charges may be billed to that card and won’t be rejected. If we’re unable to process your card order, we’ll try to contact you by email and may suspend your account until your payment can be processed.

​

REFUNDS

​

We’ll give you a refund for a prepaid month or reimburse you for unused time on your annual plan if we stop providing the Service and terminate your account without cause. You won’t be entitled to a refund or credit from us under any other circumstances. We may, at our sole discretion, offer a refund, discount or credit.

​

BILLING CHANGES

​

We may change our fees, including our charges for monthly and annual Plans, at any time by posting a new pricing structure to our NewPanda Site or in your account and/or sending you a notification by email. Quoted fees don’t include sales or other transaction-based taxes of any kind.
