If the aggregate duration of such Service Interruptions exceeds twenty-four (24) hours in any given calendar month or, if the aggregate duration of such Service Interruptions exceeds forty-eight (48) hours during any three (3) consecutive calendar months, then Customer will have the right to terminate these Terms upon five (5) days’ written notice to SenioROI.

This Site may contain links to other websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that SenioROI is not responsible for the content available on any other internet sites linked from this Site. SenioROI is providing these links to other internet sites as a convenience to users, and access to any other Internet sites linked to this Site is at your own risk. The inclusion of any link does not imply SenioROI recommends or endorses the linked site.
7) Ownership of Customer Data
The data provided by Customer in connection with the Services through the Customer Data is the sole and exclusive property of Customer and SenioROI has no ownership interest in or to the Customer Data. Customer represents and warrants that: i) Customer has all licences, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary in order to provide the Customer Data to SenioROI for the performance of the Services; and ii) the transfer of the Customer Data does not violate any laws, privacy policies, intellectual property rights or any agreements with third parties. Except as otherwise provided herein, SenioROI and its Affiliates will never disclose or sell Customer’s data to any third party; however, SenioROI and its Affiliates may use Customer’s data for internal data indexing, data linkage, and data inferencing, in order to improve SenioROI’s and its Affiliates products and services, including for anti-fraud, validation, and data hygiene purposes. By way of example, but not limitation, Customer’s data may reveal that an email address is invalid or fraudulent. SenioROI and its Affiliates may retain that information to protect itself and other clients.
8) Client Data Security and Privacy
When it comes to handling client data, our utmost priority is safeguarding and privacy. We implement stringent security measures to ensure that all client data is securely stored and processed. Access to this data is strictly controlled and limited only to authorized personnel who require it for legitimate business purposes. We understand the sensitivity and importance of this data, and under no circumstances do we disclose or share it with external parties, except for select vendors. These vendors are carefully chosen and bound by strict confidentiality agreements that align with our commitment to data privacy and security. They are permitted to process the data solely for the purposes agreed upon, and under the strict supervision and guidelines set by us. We continuously monitor and update our security practices to stay ahead of evolving threats, ensuring that client data remains protected at all times. Our commitment to privacy and security is unwavering, and we take every possible step to maintain the trust our clients place in us regarding their data.
9) Data Accuracy
While we take additional measures to ensure the data that we append or provide is the most current and most accurate, that data does in many cases rely on self-reporting by the individual and the companies that collect the information do from time to time get information that is incorrect. For example, the data that we append such finding an address information using a Phone Number or Email can be influenced by a cell phone being on a plan where an adult child is paying the bill. This results in getting the address of the adult child which can at times be in another state. Appending personal demographics like Gender, Marital Status, Date of Birth, Age, Ethnicity and Religion or appending household level demographics like income, IPA, Networth, Homeowner, Home Value and Length of Residence often relies on the individual at some point stating their DOB, Income, Networth and other values and those stated values can become part of their data profile. To help provide the most accurate data we source our data from multiple providers. We find our data to exceed 85% accuracy.
10) Payment Terms
In consideration of the rights and licenses granted herein, Customer agrees to pay the fees, plus any applicable sales and use taxes, set forth in the Order Form.
Customer shall provide a valid credit card to SenioROI and authorize SenioROI to charge the provided credit card for all Services. Rates are subject to change by SenioROI and such change shall become effective upon 60 days written notice from SenioROI. If any change in rates is not acceptable to Customer, Customer may terminate these Terms as provided in Section 9, below.
Customer shall also pay SenioROI’s costs of collection of any outstanding sums due, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees. All payments due hereunder are in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of any applicable taxes.
Prepaid Terms – If set forth in the Order Form, Customer may purchase the service for a longer term in exchange for a discounted rate.
11) Termination

Upon termination of your account for any reason, you will have no right to use the Service or the Licensed Data and we may delete any data pertaining to your account. Upon termination for any reason, you will immediately cease using the Services and delete or otherwise destroy all Licensed Data. Termination does not relieve You of any payment obligations you may have.
c) You agree that we have the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service, or any portion of the Service, with or without notice and for any reason. You further agree that SenioROI will not be liable to you or a third party due to the modification, discontinuance, or temporary suspension of the Service.
d) Effect of Termination and Survival: Upon any termination of these Terms, the licenses and rights granted to Customer to the Services hereunder will immediately terminate, and any unused duration of the term will be forfeited.
The termination of these Terms for any reason will not relieve Customer of its obligation to pay any amount due and owing up to and including the date of termination and will not affect any other rights or liabilities of the parties which may have accrued prior to the date of expiration or termination. The provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14(d) will survive any expiration or termination of these Terms.

IN NO EVENT WILL SENIOROI’S OR ITS AFFILIATES LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION FOR ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR ANY DEFAULT OF SENIOROI OR ITS AFFILIATES HEREUNDER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES AND OTHER AMOUNTS PAID TO SENIOROI BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER DURING THE THREE (3) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT UPON WHICH THE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IS BASED.

e) Injunctive Relief. A breach by Customer of a material term of these Terms will cause irreparable harm to SenioROI and a remedy at law would be inadequate. Thus, in addition to any remedies available, SenioROI will be entitled to obtain injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies (without posting of a bond), to protect SenioROI’s rights under these Terms, as well as attorney’s fees where it is a prevailing party.
