voluntarily post or otherwise submit ratings, suggestions, video comments, ideas, notes,
concepts or other information or materials to or through SMG Services (collectively,
"Submissions").
You are and will remain solely responsible for your Submissions and for the consequences
of submitting and posting such Submissions. You will be solely liable for any damage
resulting from any infringement of copyrights, proprietary rights, or any other harm resulting
from your Submissions. When submitting or posting Submissions, you should limit, to the
fullest extent possible, the amount of personal data you provide because Submissions may
be linkable to you depending on the details you provide.

our designees) the right to use any of your Submissions for any purpose anywhere. Under
no circumstances are you entitled to any type of payment if SMG (and/or its designee[s])
uses one of your Submissions. All Submissions are deemed non-confidential and non-
proprietary.
Submissions you post may be made publicly available. You acknowledge that you have no
expectation of privacy with respect to any of your Submissions. You further acknowledge
that you make Submissions voluntarily and at your own risk. You should use good judgment
when posting information, remarks, or other content regarding SMG, SMG’s Clients, or any
other entity or person. You may be held legally responsible for any damages suffered by
other users, SMG, or third parties as a result of defamatory or otherwise legally actionable
Submissions by you. When posting a Submission, you may choose to link the Submission

require otherwise.
SMG is not legally responsible for any Submissions made by users even if such Submissions
are defamatory or otherwise actionable. SMG is not responsible for, and does not endorse,
opinions, advice, or recommendations posted or otherwise submitted to or through SMG
Services. SMG specifically disclaims any and all liability in connection with such
Submissions. SMG does not confirm nor verify qualifications, background, or abilities of

you to use common sense and good judgment in preparing your Submissions.

5
You acknowledge and agree that SMG has the right, but not the obligation, to alter, remove
or refuse to post or allow to be posted any Submission. SMG takes no responsibility and
assumes no liability for any Submission posted by you or any third party. SMG cannot and
does not ensure that all users are complying with these provisions, and, as between you and
SMG, you hereby assume all risk of harm or injury resulting from any such lack of compliance.
SMG strongly encourages you to minimize the disclosure of any personal data in your
Submissions because other people can see and use the personal data in your Submissions.
SMG is not responsible for information you choose to communicate via Submissions.
6. PRIVACY/SECURITY

collects on SMG Services, how we process it, and with whom we may share personal data.

ORAL OR WRITTEN ADVICE PROVIDED BY SMG OR ITS AUTHORIZED AGENTS DOES NOT
AND WILL NOT CREATE A WARRANTY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE

YOUR USE OF SMG SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you are dissatisfied with SMG
Services, including any content of SMG Services, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of SMG
Services.
YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL SMG OR ANY THIRD PARTIES REFERENCED ON

DAMAGES OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,

OF LIABILITY ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE USE
OR INABILITY TO USE SMG SERVICES AND THEIR CONTENT, WHETHER BASED IN

REASON, SMG’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ANY TYPE OF DAMAGES HEREUNDER SHALL
BE LIMITED TO $1,000.
You acknowledge and agree that the above-asserted limitations of liability, together with
the other provisions in these Terms that limit liability, are essential terms and that SMG

to the above-asserted limitations of liability.
IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH SAYS "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT
EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN
HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST
HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."
8. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree, at your own expense, to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SMG and its clients,
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, actions
or demands, including without limitation, any money damages, expenses, costs of defense,
including reasonable attorneys’ and accounting fees, brought against SMG by any third party
arising from your use of SMG Services or your violation of any of these Terms, the rights of a third
party or applicable law. This indemnification provision does not apply to the extent prohibited by
applicable law. SMG reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense
and control of any matter subject to indemnification hereunder. No settlement that affects the
rights or obligations of SMG may be made without SMG’s prior written approval.
7
9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Except for any disputes relating to intellectual property rights or obligations, or any infringement
claims, which shall be governed by U.S. federal law, any disputes between you and SMG arising
out of, or relating to these Terms shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the laws of the State of Missouri (United States) regardless of your country of origin or where
you access the Services, and notwithstanding any conflicts of law principles. All such disputes
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Missouri applicable to contracts entered into
and performed within the State of Missouri. You and SMG agree that the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the interpretation
or construction of these Terms.
YOU AND SMG AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON
AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY
PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
YOU AND SMG AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING
ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 9 AND THAT YOU AND SMG
WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING SUCH CLAIMS BEFORE ANY COURT OF LAW. RIGHTS
THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY,
MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
Any dispute between you and SMG and its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals,
successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates arising from or relating to these Terms and their
interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from
these Terms, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of these Terms to
arbitration (collectively, "Covered Disputes") will be subject to binding arbitration in the State of
Missouri administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its rules
(including its rules and procedures for consumer-related disputes) in effect on the date thereof.
Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60 days'
advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. SMG will provide such notice by email
to the email address you provided when you created your account or by email to an email address
you have otherwise provided to SMG; you must provide such notice to SMG by email at
[email protected].
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. If,
however, you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive for you as
compared to the costs of litigation, SMG will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator
fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for
you. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree
to reimburse SMG for all fees associated with the arbitration that SMG paid on your behalf which
you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. The
arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator will have the power to grant
whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator
will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of
competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or
exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator will apply
applicable law and the provisions of these Terms; the failure to do so will be deemed an excess
of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator’s decision must be with written
8
explanation and remain confidential. SMG and you agree that any Covered Dispute will be
submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. NEITHER SMG NOR YOU ARE ENTITLED
TO ARBITRATE ANY COVERED DISPUTE AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AND THE ARBITRATOR WILL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO
PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS.
If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 9 is found unenforceable, the
unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but
in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration). Regardless
of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim arising from or related to these Terms
must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred. For purposes of
this Section 9, these Terms and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).
Note: By agreeing to these Terms, you explicitly agree that any claims or actions that you may
otherwise have against SMG under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States are
hereby waived, including without limitation, any claims or actions under the laws of your own
country, and that your sole location and applicable law for any disputes is in the United States
according to the terms of this Section 9.
10. REWARDS
From time to time, SMG may offer you the opportunity to receive rewards, such as reward points,
discounts or special offers (collectively, “Rewards”). We will notify you when Rewards are
available to you through SMG Services. The benefit of the Rewards may differ as may the validity
period, so check the details of each Reward when you receive it. For SurveyMini, after ninety
(90) days of inactivity, your rewards points will expire. Your Rewards are for your personal use.
You may not transfer, assign, sell, trade or barter your Rewards. Unless required by law, Rewards
are not redeemable for cash and may not be combined with any other SMG or client promotion,
offer or other discount. No credits or refunds will be issued for any reason after you redeem your
Rewards. SMG reserves the right to modify, terminate or suspend the availability of Rewards.
You agree to be bound by the decisions of SMG, which are final and binding in all matters relating
to the Rewards.
Based on your mobile device settings, when your mobile device is connected to the Internet either:
(a) the Updates will automatically download and install; or (b) you may receive notice of or be
prompted to download and install available Updates.
Promptly download and install all Updates. If you do not, portions of SMG Services may not
properly operate. You further agree that all Updates will be deemed part of SMG Services and be
subject to all terms and conditions of these Terms.

13. GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS/EXPORT CONTROLS
SMG Services and SMG Content are based in the State of Missouri in the United States and
although each may be provided for access and use by persons located outside the United States,
you acknowledge that for legal or operational reasons you may not be able to access SMG
Services or SMG Content in your jurisdiction. If you access SMG Services or SMG Content from
outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local laws, including local laws
regarding the import, export, or re-export of SMG Content.
SMG Services may be subject to export control laws in certain countries, including the US Export
Administration Act and its associated regulations. You agree you will comply with such laws and
regulations, and you will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export or release SMG Services to,
or make SMG Services accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export or
release is prohibited by law, rule or regulation. You further agree you will comply with all applicable
federal laws, regulations and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining
any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting,
releasing or otherwise making SMG Services available outside the US. Additionally, by
downloading any SMG Content, you are agreeing that you are not in a country to which such
export is prohibited, and you are not on the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders
or the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals.
15. TERMINATION
At its sole discretion, SMG may modify or discontinue SMG Services, or may modify, suspend, or
terminate your account or your access to SMG Services, with or without notice to you, at any time
for any reason, without liability to you or any third party. For example, your Account may be
terminated and your access to SMG Services denied, with or without notice, if SMG has reason
to believe you are a minor. As another example, SMG may terminate your Account and your ability
to use SMG Services, with or without notice, if SMG has reason to believe that you have provided
untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information, or have otherwise failed to comply with these Terms
or any applicable Additional Terms.
You agree to return or destroy any copies of any Site Materials you have made if we ask you to
do so.
Termination will not limit any of SMG’s other rights or remedies. These Terms will expressly
survive, and will still be in effect, despite any such modification, discontinuation, suspension,
and/or termination.
