TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT

 

1.         Introduction.  This Terms of Use Agreement (“the Agreement”) is entered into by and between you (“the User”) and GPS Sales & Marketing LLC, a limited liability company of the State of Delaware (“GPS”), owner of the platform known as PowerFuel, operated through a website with an address of GPSPowerFuel.com (“the Site”).  This is a legally binding document outlining the terms and conditions applicable to your access to and use of the Site.  By clicking “I Agree” at the end of this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, which shall apply to all Users of the Site.  All Users of the Site must be 18 or older. 

 

2.         Privacy.  Your use of the Site is also governed by GPS’ Privacy Policy, and any other posted policies, guidelines, or rules set forth by GPS applicable to the use of the Site and any services provided through the Site, all of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

 

3.         Ownership.  All content included on this Site, including the CRM software and any necessary software used in connection with any service offered through the Site, contains proprietary and confidential information; shall continue to be the property of GPS or its content suppliers; and is protected under applicable copyright, patent, and trademark laws and other proprietary rights.  Under no circumstances will you acquire any ownership rights or other interests in any content by or through your use of this Site. 

 

You are strictly prohibited from modifying, copying, distributing, displaying, sending, performing, reproducing, publishing, licensing, creating derivative works from, transferring, selling, or otherwise using or infringing on any intellectual property rights related to any information, content, software, products, or services obtained from or otherwise connected to the Site, to GPS’ platform available through MyMoneyMaxAccount.com, or to any of GPS’ social media pages, including, but not limited to, videos, training materials, documents, social media ads and other social media content and copy, pictures, email templates (also referred to as “automated drip emails”), and client reviews and testimonials.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, GPS acknowledges that, when you enter your clients into the PowerFuel system, the clients remain your personal clients and do not become clients of GPS.

 

4.         Compliance with Laws.  You agree to abide by all federal, state, and local laws in connection with your use of the Site.  If you are located outside the United States, you must comply with all local laws applicable to your online conduct, as well as the export of data to the United States or to your country of residence.  You further acknowledge that the information provided by you as a User of this Site is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge.

 

            5.         Subscription and Service Fees; Payment Policies. 

 

(a)       Basic Subscription.  The subscription fee for using the Site is $40.00 per month, payable as stated below.  This fee is subject to change by GPS at any time.  The fee shall be paid on the 15th of each month via an auto-charge (through Stripe, an online payment provider), which shall cover the services for the following month.  By way of example, if you are auto-charged on January 15, that fee will cover the services from February 1 through February 28.  The monthly auto-charges shall continue until you cancel your subscription.  If you subscribe to the Site mid-month, you will be auto-charged a prorated amount from the start date of the subscription through the end of the month, plus the following full month.  By way of example, if you become a subscriber on January 8, your fee as charged on January 15 will consist of the prorated fee from January 8 through January 31, as well as the full fee for the period between February 1 and February 28.   

 

If you choose to cancel your subscription to the Site, you must do so prior to the auto-charge date of the 15th of the month, and such cancellation will become effective for the following month, with no prorations.  You will continue to have access to the Site until the end of the month in which you cancel.  By way of example, if you cancel before January 15, you will have access to the Site until January 31, but you will not have access to the Site after that date, and you will not be charged for February.

 

(b)       Optional Marketing Platform.  Users may pay a separate fee for a marketing platform offered through the Site that provides social media advertising services.  The          minimum fee for this service is $500.00 per month, and the maximum monthly fee is             $5,000.00, assessed in $250.00 increments.  This fee is also auto-charged on the 15th of every month consistent with the payment process applicable to the Basic Subscription. The fee is applicable to the following month’s services only, with no prorations upon starting or cancelling the service.  By way of example, if you opt-in to the marketing platform on January 8, at the cost of $500.00 per month, that $500.00 payment will cover the services from February 1 through February 28.  If you cancel the service mid-month, there will be no prorations or refunds.    

  

(c)        Declined Payments.  In the event that your auto-charge payment is declined, you will have five (5) days from being notified by GPS of same to update your account information with a valid form of payment.  If said updated form of payment is not provided within five (5) days, GPS reserves the right to terminate your access to the Site at the end of that month, and, if you are subscribed to the optional marketing platform, those services will be terminated as of the end of that same month.

 

(d)       Credit Card Charges.  Absent a clerical error, you agree that you will not contest the credit card charges applied to your account, either for the Basic Subscription or the Optional Marketing Platform.  For the latter, you acknowledge that a portion of your fees are attributable to one or more marketing companies whose fee structures may change, resulting in changes to the fees charged by GPS for your marketing services.

 

6.         Account Security.  Upon registration with the Site, you will select a username and password.  You are solely responsible for your use of the Site and for safeguarding your login credential information.  You agree to keep your password confidential so that no one else may access the Site through your account.  You must notify GPS immediately upon discovering any unauthorized use of your account or if you believe your security credentials have been compromised.
