Constant Contact MarketPlace Terms and Conditions of Use
These Constant Contact MarketPlace Terms and Conditions of Use of Constant Contact, Inc. ("Constant Contact," "we," or "us"), together with the Constant Contact Website and Products Terms and Conditions of Use and the Constant Contact Privacy Statement (collectively, the "Terms"), govern your use of Constant Contact's MarketPlace (the "MarketPlace"). These Terms describe the permitted and prohibited uses of the MarketPlace, among other things. Your access or use of the MarketPlace in any way evidences your acceptance of the then current version of these Terms, and any related rules and guidelines. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time and without notice, effective upon posting of the modified Terms on the MarketPlace or our other websites. Your access to or use of the MarketPlace after such posting or notification constitutes your acceptance of such modifications. Your violation of these Terms may result in the suspension or termination of your access or use of the MarketPlace.
We are not responsible for and do not endorse, support or otherwise approve of any products or services promoted at or made available through the MarketPlace. Messages, promotional materials, feedback, reviews and other content, including images and videos, and any product or service offerings themselves posted to the MarketPlace by MarketPlace merchants and providers or by MarketPlace users (the "Third Party Materials") are solely the opinion and responsibility of the person posting the same.
We have the right (but not the obligation), (a) to pre-screen or review any product or service on the Marketing and remove the same from the MarketPlace and (b) to monitor and edit or remove any activity or content on the MarketPlace for any reason in our sole discretion. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we have no duty to correct any false, misleading or erroneous statements or content of any third party on any part of the MarketPlace.
Use Your Common Sense
The MarketPlace is intended to provide our customers with the opportunity to become aware of and review products and services that such customers may find helpful. Vendors in the MarketPlace may include individuals, businesses and non-profits, small businesses, subject matter experts and novices. As a result, some postings or product and service offerings could reflect considerable technical experience and insight, while others might not. You are responsible for exercising your judgment in evaluating and acting on (or ignoring) various product and service offerings and postings in the MarketPlace.
Participants may post hypertext links to content hosted and maintained by third parties to the MarketPlace. We do not moderate or control these linked sites, and are not responsible for them. Your access to any linked sites and use of any content found at such sites is at your own risk, so you should use good judgment before you click on any link or access any linked site.
Advertisement, in the body of postings may be permissible if it is an appropriate product or service for our customers.
Violations
The section lists common examples of violations that may result in immediate post removal, warning, board sanction and/or suspension from the site. By joining the MarketPlace, you agree to be subject to the Constant Contact Prohibited Content and Commerce Statement and Anti-Spam Policy and may not upload, post or otherwise transmit any content (including but not limited to text, links, communications, software, images, videos, sounds, data or other information) or otherwise use in the MarketPlace materials that would violate such policies if they were sent via our products or services. In addition, you further agree not to take inappropriate actions, such as:
- "Bombing" the MarketPlace or individual threads with repetitive, pointless or irrelevant posts;
- Using JavaScript or active code, making repetitive posts, or otherwise taking actions that interfere with site operations;
- Posting materials unrelated to the conversation in which they are posted;

- Threatening, intimidating, harassing or bullying Constant Contact staff or other MarketPlace members, or promoting harm or inciting violence toward Constant Contact or the MarketPlace in any way;
- Impersonating other individuals or falsely representing your identity or qualifications;
- Posting content under secondary usernames or other aliases for the purpose of either supporting or belittling others;
- Posting content that breaches another users' privacy, e.g., contain personal or sensitive information such as name, address, phone or other identifying information;
- Directing participants to any content or information that, if posted in the MarketPlace, would constitute a violation of these Terms, including another individual's contact information and/or email address;

- Discussing or reposting deleted posts or warning letters, or discussion of sanctioned or no longer registered members.
A sanction or suspension of one account will apply to all of that member's accounts and may apply to members of the same company. The use of false registration information or creation of multiple accounts for use on the MarketPlace for the purpose of disruption or to avoid detection may result in permanent sanction or suspension of all associated registrations.
Feedback, Reviews, Comments and Other Content
If you do post content or submit material, you grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media. You grant us and our sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if we or they choose. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you post and any product or service offerings; that the content is accurate; and that use of the content or products or services you offer does not violate these Terms.
Constant Contact Account
A Constant Contact account is not required in order to access the MarketPlace solely for the purpose of reviewing product and service offerings in the MarketPlace. However, participants without an existing Constant Contact account may have limited or no access to certain features and functionality of the MarketPlace.
Privacy
Any information that you post in the MarketPlace is posted at your own risk, and can be obtained and used by others. Do not reveal information that you do not want to make public in the MarketPlace, such as your contact information or email address. We respect and protect the privacy of our customers and those who use our websites. Please see our Privacy Notice for details of our approach to privacy and how we collect, use and protect your personal information.
MarketPlace Moderators
We reserve the right to manage the MarketPlace in order to facilitate the orderly distribution of information through the MarketPlace. For that purpose, we may, at our election, designate representatives to act as moderators for the MarketPlace ("Moderators"). The Moderators cannot and do not review or respond to every post or email. Our employees may also comment on the MarketPlace and will be identified as Constant Contact employees with a Constant Contact icon ("Constant Contact Employee Posters"). The Moderators and the identified Constant Contact Employee Posters are the only authorized representatives of Constant Contact on the MarketPlace. Any Constant Contact employees who are not designated as Moderators or identified as Constant Contact Employee Posters are not authorized to represent themselves on the MarketPlace as a Constant Contact employee; therefore they are not providing official Constant Contact responses. We are not responsible for content provided by any Constant Contact employee who is not designated as a Moderator or identified as a Constant Contact Employee Poster.
Marketplace Watch
You may assist us in making the MarketPlace an effective community for participants. If you detect violations of these Terms, click on the "Report Abuse" link from within the post. We will determine what, if any, action it will take against persons who violate these Terms, which could include the termination of one's privilege to use the MarketPlace or, in certain circumstances, referral to the appropriate authorities for action.
Modifications to MarketPlace
We reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, to delete, modify, edit, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the MarketPlace (or any part thereof, including any postings) with or without notice. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any deletion, modification, suspension or discontinuance of the MarketPlace.
