Evorra Platform Terms and Conditions

Last update 14 November 2023

Background

The purpose of this policy is to define the terms of service with respect to the use of the Evorra platform by any individual.  It refers to the array of SaaS services and functionalities provided by Evorra to Users for marketing workflows, including the availability of marketing audiences on selected media channels and other functionalities (“Evorra Platform”).

Self-Services for Audience Enablement.

The Evorra Platform will give Users access to self-service settings and functionality to enable Users to dynamically build marketing audiences and make such audiences available on Demand Side Platforms (DSPs), Sell Side Platforms (SSPs), and other campaign activation platforms referred to as (“Channel(s)”).  Specifically, this service includes the opportunity for Users to input their authentication credential settings to establish a secure API connection with each selected Channel.  Users can then utilise matched audience IDs for a defined time period (typically thirty (30) days) based on applicable licensing permissions defined by other consumer-facing brands (“Users”).  Moreover, Users are responsible for adhering to the terms and conditions of use policies defined by each Channel.  Users are responsible for understanding the permitted use conditions of each configured Channel and ensuring that the audiences curated on Evorra meet all such conditions.

Licence Fee

The monthly licence fee as specified in the Statement of Work (“SOW”) will be charged and will allow access for the number of Users specified in the SOW.  This recurring fee will be charged monthly, from signing of the SOW and payment provides access to their account on Evorra for at least thirty (30) days.  This licence Fee will be revised as specified in the SOW (“User Subscription”).

Enablement Fee

Each time a User confirms the enablement of a list of audience targeting IDs (“Evorra Audience”) on a campaign activation platform Users has selected, the Evorra Platform will ask Users to confirm the cost per thousand (“CPM”) for audience profile associated with the given audience criteria, collectively described as the (“Enablement Fee”).  This Enablement Fee is charged at the time of each enablement request, using the defined method of payment in Users online account.  All Enablement Fees are dynamic on the platform as they depend on Audience and Enablement options.

Intellectual Property

Evorra is the sole owner of the Evorra platform and Users shall only be granted access to use the platform. Besides the Exclusion Lists and trademarks, nothing within the Evorra ecosystem shall be the property of Users. 

Obligations of Evorra.

As consideration for Users fulfilment of its obligations under this Agreement, Evorra shall perform the following services:

  1. Provision of User Systems.  Evorra will purchase, configure, populate, setup, maintain and deploy applications running in a virtual private cloud, dedicated exclusively to the User.  Evorra will make reasonable efforts to ensure sufficient data quality, yet both parties fully recognize that Evorra is not responsible for the results, accuracy, and the use of data that can be found on the Evorra Platform.  All data is dynamically made available from disparate data sources for Users to test and evaluate as only they decide.
  2. Online Services.  Evorra will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide functionality and services through the Evorra Platform for Users to perform a variety of marketing audience related services at all times.  Evorra will endeavour to limit any outages or unexpected service interruptions, yet provides the Evorra Platform on an “As Is” basis, subject to occasional defects.
  3. Self Service Audiences.  Evorra provides Users with online services to dynamically set audience filters to estimate what targeting profiles are available.

Audience Match Rates

When a User enables an Evorra Audience on a selected platform there are many factors that can influence the total available number of addressable profiles on a given time (“Match Rate”).  As Match Rates can vary, Users understand the need to test audience building and enablement strategies.  Evorra will make commercially reasonable efforts to analyse low Match Rates in cooperation with Users.

Evorra Audience Expiration

As part of the Enablement Process, Users receive an expiration date confirmation for each enabled audience.  To this effect, the Evorra Audience may be used for campaign targeting until the Evorra Audience is set to expire.

User Obligations

As consideration for Evorra’s fulfilment of its obligations under this Agreement, Users will provide the following forms of assistance to Evorra in its efforts to make Evorra Audience platform services a success:

  1. Exclusion Lists. The Evorra Platform has functionality that allows a User to upload exclusion targeting lists to eliminate a specific set of User targeting IDs from an Evorra Audience (“Exclusion Lists”).  Each Exclusion List is owned by Users who acknowledge their obligation to have the relevant legal and regulatory permissions to create and use the given Exclusion List.  Users grants to Evorra (a) a worldwide, royalty-free right and non-exclusive licence to process Exclusion Lists, for as long as the Agreement is in force; (b) the right to distribute the Exclusion List for use by Users for: (i) improved targeting of advertising to end Users; (ii) for analytics and insights, provided that any such uses comply in all material respects with the provisions of this Agreement.
  2. Maintain User Profile.  User agrees to make best reasonable efforts to maintain its company account profile information to accurately represent its User representation on the Evorra Platform.
  3. Enable Evorra Technology.  Users may provide technical assistance to Evorra by placing Tags, cookies and other tracking code on a website, mobile platform or other digital platform deemed relevant or initiating mutually agreed data feeds in accordance with instructions provided by Evorra.  Users may choose to also make use of the Evorra Tag, or provide an API to or data from its own customer data platform to the degree that it desires that such data become part of an Exclusion List.
  4. Provide Data Governance.  The Evorra Platform is managed in consideration of the EU Regulation 2016/679 on the protection of personal data, the Directive of 12 July 2002 on the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (2002/58), and the doctrine of the French’s Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (“Data Privacy Laws”).  Users will provide guidance concerning its corporate policies, legal and regulatory requirements, contractual obligations and preferences concerning Exclusion Lists and will make these known to Evorra in advance of Evorra’s use of such data.
  5. Comply with Evorra standard business conduct policy.  You agree to comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, privacy laws, intellectual property laws, anti-spam laws, export control laws, tax laws, and regulatory requirements;  provide accurate information to us and keep it updated; use your real name on your profile; and use the Services in a professional manner.  In addition, you agree not to override any security feature or bypass or circumvent any access controls or use limits of the Evorra Platform (such as audience expiration controls); you agree not to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decipher or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Evorra Platform or any related technology that is not open source; you agree not to rent, lease, loan, trade, sell/ resell or otherwise monetize the Evorra Platform or related data or access to the same, without Evorra’s consent.  You recognise and agree to use the Evorra Platform in a professional manner and that you will not interfere with the operation of, or place an unreasonable load on, the Evorra Platform.

Reservation of Right

Except for the limited licences set forth in this Agreement, User retains all right, title and interest in and to any data they upload into their Evorra account and any other information or materials made available by User.

Service Restrictions

Users may only use Evorra Audiences in compliance with the data and targeting prohibited and restricted audience policy limitations defined by any major media activation service.  For avoidance of doubt, major media activation services include, but are not restricted to Google DV360, Meta, and Amazon Ads.  All media audience prohibitive and restricted rules are defined collectively as (“Evorra Audience Restrictions”).  Users will be held responsible for using Evorra Audiences only in ways that do not violate Evorra Audience Restrictions.
