Oppstimize Customer Terms of Service

Last Modified: April 11, 2019

This Oppstimize Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) applies to the use of any product, service or website provided by us (Halo Media, Inc.), whether we provide it directly or use another party to provide it to you (each, an “Oppstimize Products, Package, or Service”). This AUP is designed to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to the Oppstimize Service. This AUP also protects the interests of all of our clients and their customers, as well as our goodwill and reputation. These terms are so important that we cannot provide the Oppstimize Service unless you agree to them. By using the Oppstimize Service, you are agreeing to these terms.

If you are using any Oppstimize Service, this AUP applies to you. Every client of ours agrees to abide by this AUP and is responsible for any violations. You are not allowed to assist or engage others in a way that would violate this AUP. We will enforce and ensure compliance with this AUP by using methods we consider to be appropriate, such as complaint and email failure monitoring. 

We periodically update these terms and we will let you know when we do through the Notification app in the Oppstimize portal used to access your Oppstimize subscription (if you have one), or by posting a revised copy on our website. You agree to review the AUP on a regular basis and always remain in compliance.

  1. Reporting Suspected Violations

We encourage recipients of email messages sent using the Oppstimize Service to report suspected violations of this AUP to us by forwarding a copy of the received email with FULL headers to notify@oppstimize.com. We have a policy to investigate all of these reports and to respond in the way we consider appropriate. 

If you know of or suspect a violation of this AUP, you will promptly notify us in writing of the known or suspected violation of this AUP.
