New Customer Terms

All purchases by you (“Client”) from Central Address Systems, Inc. / dba. CAS Inc. ("Licensor") are subject to the terms and conditions in this agreement (“Agreement”).

Pricing; Client Purchase Orders.   Pricing, data elements, and file layouts are agreed on a per order basis.  The prices and rates for the services do not include either shipping costs or applicable federal, state or local taxes, and Client will pay or reimburse Licensor for such shipping costs and taxes.

Non-conforming Services; Review of Interim Results. Licensor shall perform services in accordance with Client orders and correct any non-conforming services where the nonconformity results solely from errors on the part of Licensor.  Client shall review and approve interim results provided by Licensor and inform Licensor in writing of any nonconformance. Where Licensor is not informed of nonconformance, Licensor shall be entitled to assume the correctness of the interim results, and shall not be liable for the cost of correcting any nonconformance approved in error. Client's failure to give Licensor written notice of non-conforming services within thirty (30) days of Licensor's performance of the services shall constitute final acceptance and approval of the services by Client.

Payment Terms. Client will pay Licensor for the services in the amounts agreed upon by Licensor and Client. Licensor’s invoices will be deemed to be correct and acceptable to Client unless Client advises Licensor of disputed items within ten (10) days of their receipt. Payments shall be made to Licensor within thirty (30) days of invoice date for all Licensor services.

One Time Use, List Rentals. Unless otherwise agreed in writing signed by Licensor and Client, Client is permitted to use a List provided by Licensor only once and only for one of the following purposes: i) direct mail solicitations, ii) conducting telephone solicitations, iii) conducting telephone surveys, or iv) email marketing. This shall not, however, prevent Client's use of a list provided by Licensor, or use of the licensed data, for Client's internal analysis or for previous mail suppression. Licensor will include seed names for the purpose of detecting unauthorized use.

FCRA; No Eligibility Decisions. Client understands that licensed data has not been collected for credit purposes and is not intended to be indicative of any consumer’s credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, or other characteristics listed in Section 603(d) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), 15 USC Section 1681a. Client represents and warrants that it shall not use any licensed data as a factor in establishing any consumer’s eligibility for (i) credit or insurance used primarily for personal, family or household purposes, (ii) employment purposes, or (iii) other purposes authorized under Section 604 of the FCRA, 15 USC Section 1681b or any similar statute. Client agrees that it will not use any of the licensed materials for any purpose proscribed under the FCRA.

Manner of Use; No Individual Look-ups. Client agrees that it will use the licensed data provided for marketing purposes only in accordance with all federal, state and local laws, applicable Direct Marketing Association Guidelines (www.the-dma.org), and in a manner which gives due consideration to matters concerning privacy and confidentiality.  Client will not in any direct mail solicitation, telephone solicitation or survey utilizing licensed data refer to any selection criteria or any presumed knowledge about the recipient. The licensed data may not be merged or incorporated with any other file without the express written consent of Licensor.  None of the licensed data may be used to enhance a file or list owned by any third party, to develop any list, enhancement or product or to prepare, publish, clean or maintain any directory.

Non-disclosure of Source of Licensed Data or Relationship . Client shall not disclose to any other party that Licensor is the source of the licensed data without the prior written consent of Licensor, which consent will be issued only on a case-by-case basis, and shall not be issued in the form of a blanket consent.

Solicitations; Ad Copy; Script Retention and Review. Solicitation and ad copy used by Client or Client’s customers in connection with the licensed data: (i) shall not disclose the source of the recipient’s name and address; (ii) shall not contain any indication that Client or Client’s customers possess any information about the recipient other than name and address; and (iii) must be in good taste and of the highest integrity. Upon request from Licensor, Client shall promptly deliver to Licensor a copy of any solicitation or ad copy used in connection with the licensed data. Two copies of each mail piece and/or telemarketing script used in connection with the licensed data shall be retained by Client and Client’s customers for at least twelve (12) months after the applicable mail drop date or telemarketing script use.

Licensor warrants to Client that: (i) the Licensor services will materially conform to the corresponding job instructions; and (ii) Licensor has the right to provide to Client, for the uses authorized by this document, licensed data provided as a part of the Licensor services. Licensor further warrants that it will make reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that the licensed data delivered to Client hereunder and information contained therein will be as complete, accurate, and current as it can be in view of Licensor's customary method of compilation or acquisition of such data and the nature and accuracy of Licensor's sources for such data.

Licensor agrees to provide Client with services that will purge consumers on the various Do-Not-Call lists from the calling lists provided by Licensor to Client. Client agrees to purchase such Do-Not-Call lists from the FTC and appropriate states, and Client will indemnify and hold Licensor harmless from any third party claims arising from calls placed to consumers who are on the various Do-Not-Call lists. Licensor disclaims all responsibility for ensuring that Client complies with the laws establishing the Do-Not-Call lists.  THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES LICENSOR HAS GIVEN CLIENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES.
