6. Campaign Admins

If you are a Campaign Admin, this section applies to you.

6.1. Your Account Authorization and Set Up

When you register a Crowdfunding campaign or eCommerce store with Kickbooster, you are either the Campaign Admin or an authorized user to register the program.

6.2 Pledge and Order Validation

6.2.1 Kickstarter Campaigns

As part of Kickbooster’s Pledge Validation feature, all Kickstarter Campaign Admins are required to provide Kickbooster ([email protected]) with collaborator access with fulfillment permissions for their campaign. Through collaborator access, Kickbooster can validate the status of a backers pledge in order to prevent the commissions on failed charges. Editor rights to a campaign are not a requirement.

If Collaborator access is not provided, the Campaign Admin understands that Kickbooster is unable to track whether or not a pledge has successfully been collected or not, and will be invoiced accordingly.

6.2.3 Indiegogo Campaigns

All Indiegogo Campaign Admins are required to add Kickbooster ([email protected]) as a Team Member in order for us to verify the validity of the pledges that are made through Kickbooster. Editor rights to your campaign are not a requirement.

6.2.4 Shopify Campaigns

All Shopify Campaign Admins are required to have Kickbooster’s Shopify App installed in order to connect to the store and verify the status of orders processed through Kickbooster’s Affiliate links.

6.3 Offering Rewards

Affiliate Users will earn a commission on authorized transactions when a sale is placed by a customer who follows a link from the Affiliate User’s site to the Campaign Admin’s site. The Campaign Admin will only pay commission on qualifying sales subject to resolution of all outstanding voids and the appropriate access provided as per our order validation procedures listed above

You agree that Kickbooster may act on your behalf to amend the commission offering for all or specific Affiliate Users if we have received your written confirmation of the percentage offering. To clarify, there may be times when a higher reward has been negotiated for a specific Affiliate User via email communication with the Campaign Admin. If we are advised of an agreed amount, we may log in to ensure the agreed amount is set up accordingly.

6.4 Referral Review Period

Shopify Campaign Admins can define a Referral Review Period of up to 30 days. This review period allows for the Campaign Admin to review a referral before commissions are processed to the associated Booster.

Within the Referral Review Period, Kickbooster will automatically adjust the referred order if the Payment and Order status is changed to refunded, partially refunded, or cancelled. Kickbooster will only track the status changes made on Shopify directly. If orders are managed outside of Shopify, we will not be able to track any changes. The Campaign Admin is ultimately responsible for reviewing all referrals before the end of the Referral Review Period and to notify Kickbooster if an adjustment or void needs to be made.

6.5 Tracking Referrals

For Crowdfunding Campaigns, Kickbooster must connect to the relevant Google Analytics account connected to your Kickstarter and/or Indiegogo page. By using Kickbooster, you agree that Kickbooster can connect to your account to pull all necessary tracking information. Without that, our service won’t work. Google Analytics must stay connected at all times. The Campaign Admin will use best efforts to promptly restore connection if the service becomes disconnected.

Affiliate Users acknowledge and agree that Google Analytics may disconnect, and that it is the responsibility of the Campaign Admin, and not Kickbooster, to restore the connection.

For Shopify Campaigns, Kickbooster’s Shopify App must be installed in order to track referrals made through Kickbooster Affiliate Links. Without the app installed, our service won’t work.

Kickbooster will only track order adjustments made directly on Shopify. If Campaign Admins handle order adjustments such as refunds or cancellations outside of Shopify, Kickbooster will not be able to track that and therefore will not make adjustments to the referrals.

6.6 Trial Period

As of 30-Nov-2018, Kickbooster offers a 30-day trial for Shopify users only. You will not be charged for the monthly subscription fee until the trial period has expired. If any affiliate commissions are generated within the trial period, they will be chargeable.

You agree that even though you may have access to the Services on a trial basis, free of charge, you will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Your continued use of the Services following the conclusion of the trial period constitutes your consent to be charged for those Services and to the provisions in this Agreement.

6.6 Subscription Invoicing

Kickbooster charges a monthly subscription fee of $29.00 which gives you access to our entire suite of products. In order to activate your Kickbooster account, you will need to connect a valid credit card. Once connected, your credit card will be charged instantly for the first month’s subscription. Invoices will be available within your Kickbooster account.

When transitioning a Kickbooster campaign to Indiegogo InDemand, Campaign Admin’s agree to a minimum 2 month subscription.

See ‘Processing Funds, Payouts and Fees’ for further details.

6.7 Affiliate Fees Invoicing

Kickbooster will invoice Campaign Admin’s for any pledges made through Kickbooster affiliate links and calculated based on the fees published to our website. Commissions are determined solely from the statistics collected by Kickbooster. In the event you have a bona fide dispute regarding the amount of commissions and/or any errors in statistics and/or tracking, the parties agree to work in good faith to resolve such dispute(s).

If the processing of payment fails, the Campaign Admin agrees to manually process payment to Kickbooster within five (5) business days of the original charge date.

6.7.3 eCommerce Campaigns

Kickbooster grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, limited license and right for the duration of your membership with Kickbooster, subject to the terms of this Agreement, to (i) participate in the Affiliate User marketing network, including use of Affiliate User links that may be generated in connection with a Campaign Admin’s campaign(s) and other features of the Services, (ii) access your account and other areas and features of the Service reasonably necessary for your participation in the network, and (iii) download and use any reports, feedback, or other information that may be provided to you by Kickbooster.

12.3. Open Source Components

Any third party component embedded, included or provided by Kickbooster for use with the Services may only be used in conjunction with the Services, and this use is subject to these General Terms of Use. However, to the extent Services include components governed by open source licenses with provisions inconsistent with these General Terms of Use, those components are instead governed solely by the applicable open source licenses. To the extent the Services include components covered by open source licenses requiring the provision of corresponding source code for those components, Kickbooster hereby offers the provision of that source code consistent with those licenses.

12.4. Third Party Tools

Kickbooster may make available “Third Party Tools”, which may not monitor or control. You accept these Third Party Tools “as-is” without any warranties, representations, guarantees or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement, and you agree that Kickbooster has no liability of any kind arising from or relating to your use of the “Third Party Tools”. You accept all risk associated with using a Third Party Tool, even if you receive direct support or assistance from Kickbooster in selecting, implementing, or operating the “Third Party Tool”. As an Affiliate User, the only Third Party Tool that would be used in connection to our service would be Google Analytics. Kickbooster must connect to the Campaign Admin’s Google Analytics in order to track clicks, pledges, adjustments and cancellations through each Affiliate User’s link. Kickbooster agrees that any and all Third Party Tools will be clearly identified as such. Your use of any Third Party Tools will be on the terms and conditions associated with those Third Party Tools, and you agree to be bound by such terms and conditions should you choose to use any Third Party Tools.

12.5. Subdomains

You do not have and do not obtain rights of any kind in or to any subdomain name on the Service by any means. At our sole discretion, we retain the right to withdraw the availability of a subdomain name to you at anytime, whether or not you are using it.

12.6. Feedback

We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about our Services (“Feedback”). You shall retain all rights in and to the Feedback, subject to the grant to Kickbooster or a worldwide royalty-free license to use the Feedback strictly as part of our business activities, without any obligation to compensate you for them. For certainty, should Kickbooster use the Feedback to in any way improve or modify the Service, you shall not have any right or title to the product of such improvement or modification, and shall not have any entitlement to compensation in connection with same. You can email your feedback to [email protected]

12.7 Confidentiality

During the Term, the parties and their respective officers, employees, agents, and representatives (“Representatives”) may gain access to certain confidential and proprietary information relating to the other party and its business or activities and/or the business or activities of certain third parties, including without limitation, customer lists, pricing and sales information, information and data collected from the respective party’s site(s) (including without limitation, with respect to activities and traffic on such site(s)), source codes, designs, technical information, existing and potential marketing and business plans, reports, and the like (“Confidential Information”). The parties agree that Confidential Information is identified as such before being shared between parties. The parties agree, for themselves and their Representatives, that all Confidential Information provided or produced by the parties in connection therewith is confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party, except as required by law (provided that the receiving party will disclose only such information as is legally required, will use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any Confidential Information that is so disclosed and will advise the disclosing party of the compelled disclosure far enough in advance to allow the disclosing party adequate time to obtain a protective order in respect of such Confidential Information), or with the disclosing party’s prior written approval. Confidential Information will not include information that (i) was in the receiving party’s possession prior to receipt from disclosing party, (ii) is or enters into the public domain through no fault of receiving party, (iii) is rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without a duty of confidentiality, (iv) is disclosed by the disclosing party to a third party without a duty of confidentiality on the third party, or (v) is independently developed by the receiving party without the use or reference of any Confidential Information of the other party. The receiving party agrees to use at least the same degree of care with the disclosing party’s Confidential Information that it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

Kickbooster will not be liable, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, with respect to the services, or any user action or inaction on the services, or any other subject matter of these General Terms of Use, for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss or profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if Kickbooster has been advised of the possibility of such damages). Kickbooster’s aggregate liability will not exceed the amount of commission earned by us in direct connection with your use of the Service during the three-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim for liability. The foregoing limitations shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law. Some states do not allow limitations on liability, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

We don’t become involved in disputes between Campaign Admins and Affiliate Users, or between users and any third party relating to the use of the Services.

When you use the Services, you release Kickbooster from claims, damages, and demands of every kind — known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed — arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and the Services, and all content you access through the Services is at your own risk. You’re solely responsible for any resulting damage or loss to any party.
