Your data, and our storage thereof
Your SwiftRocket account includes certain data storage – for constituents, program data, fundraising, volunteering, event and file storage information. We may choose to set limits on how much information may be stored, and may change those limits at any time. Should we impose any such limits, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice of such limits, and, when possible, offer you the option to either obtain more storage at an additional cost or maintain a lower level of storage without incurring additional costs. SwiftRocket is not responsible for the loss of any data in the event that you fail to request either more storage space or a transfer of existing data to another location and data is lost due to a change in limits or by your exceeding the existing limits.
SwiftRocket’s API
SwiftRocket provides API Calls (“Calls”) to facilitate certain account activities without relying on the SwiftRocket application interface. These Calls are governed by the same policies set forth herein. It is SwiftRocket’s sole discretion to determine permissible use of the API and Calls. Any improper use of the API, as solely determined by SwiftRocket, will be grounds for immediate termination of Customer’s account.
Payment for services
Like most commercial services, SwiftRocket asks that you, the Customer, pay us, the Company, for your use of the SwiftRocket Service in a timely manner. Monthly activity may be invoiced monthly or annually based on your preference and due no more than 15 days from the invoice date. Depending upon your plan you may also be charged transaction fees on the amount of online donations, event registration fees or other revenues that are processed online through the SwiftRocket Service. All fees and prices are in US dollars. By entering credit card and billing information into the SwiftRocket system, you are authorizing us to charge that card for services rendered and according to the pricing specified in your SwiftRocket plan or a separate addendum to this Agreement, should such an addendum exist. All credit card transactions are handled through a secure HTTPS connection with a trusted third-party credit card processor. Lastly, like most commercial services, SwiftRocket reserves the right to suspend your account in the event you fail to pay the appropriate account fees on time, until such time as proper payment is received.
Right to inspect
For the purposes of providing you service and support, and to ensure that the terms of this Agreement are being followed, we reserve the right to inspect and monitor your account and data at any time, without notice, and to limit access to your account at any time should we have reason to believe that you have already, or may at some point in the future, violate any terms set forth in this Agreement.
Termination
Termination requests should be in writing, via email to support@swiftrocket.com, or done through your SwiftRocket account management. Inactivity does not constitute automatic termination. If you have elected a month-to-month agreement, your request to terminate will take effect at the end of your current billing period, in which such request was made. If you have elected a longer agreement term, your request to terminate will take effect at the end of your selected contract term. In either case, the date the termination takes effect will be called the Termination Date. Customer is responsible for payment for any services rendered up through the Termination Date. SwiftRocket will not prorate charges to the Termination Date and the Customer will not receive a credit or refund for any unused services. If Customer has paid in advance for a certain period of time for the SwiftRocket Service or any portion thereof and terminates prior to the completion of that period, that payment is non-refundable.
SwiftRocket may terminate this Agreement at any time by notifying the Customer by email. If we terminate this Agreement without cause, we will prorate any fees you have prepaid.
Should we be forced to terminate your account or you terminate your account, we will work with you to help retrieve contact information and other appropriate data from your account within 30 days of termination of your account. After such 30 days, SwiftRocket makes no guarantees regarding the availability of your data, and SwiftRocket shall not be liable for the availability of your data for more than thirty days following the date of termination by either party.
Disputing Charges
Any dispute to a charge on your bill must be made within 60 days of the date of the bill that initially contained the charge. Disputes can only be made in writing, via email to support@swiftrocket.com.
