Terms of service

Effective: December 2019

 

Welcome to Pilotly, where you can research your media content and communications.

We conduct the Survey and return the information generated from participant responses ("Survey Results"), in a format you design, to help you decide if your content works as intended or to understand who is most interested in your content. We even compare your content vis-a-vis other content (those of competitors, celebrated campaigns and more) and chart the results to bring context to your Survey Results.

Before you start testing content on Pilotly and reviewing results through your Insight Insights Dashboard (“Dashboard”), please read carefully the following terms and conditions ("Terms of Service" or "Agreement") which contain important information regarding your rights, obligations and restrictions in connection with the services provided by Pilotly, Inc.

You are responsible for any activity that occurs in your Pilotly account. So it’s important that you keep your account secure. One way to do that is to select a strong password that you don’t use for any other account.

By using the Services, you agree that, in addition to exercising common sense:

  • You will not create more than one account for yourself.
  • You will not create another account if we have already disabled your account, unless you have our written permission to do so.
  • You will not buy, sell, rent, or lease access to your Pilotly account
  • You will not share your password.
  • You will not log in or attempt to access the Services through unauthorized third-party applications or clients.

 

If you think that someone has gained access to your account, please immediately reach out to dev@pilotl.y.

 

Payment and delivery

The fee for each Survey you order through the Service is the Total Order price displayed in the Order Summary. When you click the Submit Your Study button, Pilotly will charge that fee (including any applicable taxes) to the credit card account you enter. Pilotly will conduct the Survey ordered promptly after it has reviewed the contents of the study for fielding approval and received payment of the fee. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES AND TAXES AND FOR PROVIDING PILOTLY WITH VALID CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT DETAILS FOR PAYMENT OF ALL FEES AND TAXES. If your study receives fielding approval and for any reason Pilotly fails to deliver Survey Results within seven days of study fielding, Pilotly will refund the user based on how many panelist completes were not achieved with respect to the completion goal. For example, if your study is targeting 300 panelist completes and Pilotly only delivers Survey Results for 280 panelists, you will be refunded for 20 panelists completes (five dollars times twenty, resulting in a one-hundred refund)

Unless otherwise stated during the order submission process, Survey Results should be ready for delivery within forty-eight (48) hours after you place your order. This timeframe is an estimate. Actual turn-around times may vary due to a range of factors (mostly beyond our control), including, by way of example and not of limitation, continuity of third-party services, national or local holidays, the ease or difficulty finding the target audience, or occurrences typically considered force majeure events. When your study is complete, Pilotly will send you an e-mail message (using your account e-mail address) that your Survey Results are ready for review. Follow the instructions in the e-mail message to retrieve them. Thereafter, you will receive an additional email message containing a link to your summary report, which gives further insights into your Survey Results. To access the Site and to download or print the Survey Results, you must have (and are responsible for having) all equipment, software, network connections and/or carrier services necessary to access the Site, including, but not limited to, a computer or mobile device that is in working order and compatible with the Service and format of the Survey Results.

 

Consent to communication with you; opt-out

By establishing an account with us, you authorize Pilotly to contact you at your account e-mail address for administrative and promotional purposes. Pilotly may send you notice with respect to the Service or your account by sending an e-mail message to your account e-mail address, by sending a letter via postal mail to the contact address listed in your account contact information, or by a posting on the Site. Notices shall become effective immediately. If you wish, you may "opt-out" of receiving communications from Pilotly for promotional purposes by sending an e-mail to unsubscribe-list@pilot.ly.

 

Termination of service

You or Pilotly may terminate your access to the Service for any reason at any time and without notice. If you ordered a Survey before termination but have not yet received the Survey Results, Pilotly will send you the Survey Results when complete. You agree that Pilotly will not be liable to you or to any third party for termination of your access to the Service as provide herein. All payments for Surveys you order are NONREFUNDABLE.
