POSTALCODEZIP LLC, company whose registered office is 1120 West 30th Street 10 001 New York, NY USA, reachable on its website: www.postalcodezip.com and by telephone, hereinafter referred to as POSTALCODEZIP.

 

PREAMBLE

This Agreement includes the period beginning the day of subscription to the present General Terms of Use and its appendices. The set is hereinafter referred to as the Contract.

Software editor and service provider, POSTALCODEZIP offers professional software, computer services, and other similar services. In this context, POSTALCODEZIP, as the Customer’s representative, carries out the said collections from directory publishers (Digital Collections"). The Customer uses “Data Base” (“DB”) and wishes to feed it with data from Digital Collections in order to enable it to create marketing segments and thus optimize its future marketing actions. The Customer thus asked POSTALCODEZIP to collect data or elements extracted from universal directories. It is under these conditions that the Parties have approached each other to establish the framework for the collection of this data and the respective commitments of the Parties (“Agreement”).

 

1. DEFINITIONS

Position: referring to a personal computer

2. DATA COLLECTION FRAMEWORK

The Parties acknowledge and accept that the data collected by POSTALCODEZIP via its software or through subsequent subcontractors, exposed to the Digital Collections, are exclusively the data of the universal directory (mailing address) (“Data”).

Any additional request from the Customer for data collection that does not fall within the above category must be the subject of a prior written agreement from POSTALCODEZIP.

 

3. RESPECTIVE COMMITMENTS OF THE PARTIES

POSTALCODEZIP holds neither the intellectual property of the Digital Collections nor the ownership of the Databases and plays a role of intermediation between the Customer and directory publishers or other content providers.

The Customer accepts the collection of Data through POSTALCODEZIP for all Digital Collections carried out with it. 

POSTALCODEZIP acts in name and on behalf of the Customer. POSTALCODEZIP is a processor of the Customer’s data processing under Article 4.8 of the GDPR, by transferring or sharing Data with no means or common purpose with the Customer where the Customer alone determines the purposes and means of the prospecting processing of data subjects who are not registered on an opposition list (e.g. BLOCTEL, DNCM, TPS, CRTC, Do not call). The data subject receives requests from the Customer and not from POSTALCODEZIP.

 

4. APPLICATION

These general terms and conditions, including the specific terms and conditions found on one of POSTALCODEZIP’s websites, apply to any provision of services. Placing an order implies the Customer’s full and unreserved adherence to these General Terms of Use. No special conditions other than those of POSTALCODEZIP may, unless formally accepted in writing by POSTALCODEZIP, prevail over these general conditions. Any clause to the contrary proposed by the Customer will, therefore, in the absence of express acceptance, not be invoked against POSTALCODEZIP, regardless of the time at which it may have been brought to its attention.

That POSTALCODEZIP does not avail itself of any of these general conditions and/or tolerate a breach by the other party of any of the obligations referred to in these general conditions cannot be interpreted as valid Renunciation by POSTALCODEZIP to avail itself subsequently of these conditions.

POSTALCODEZIP will acknowledge receipt of the Purchase Order and payment by the Customer. When completing the online order form and validating it, by ticking the acceptance box of the general conditions of use, it forms the contract governing the relationship between the Customer and POSTALCODEZIP, subject to the prior payment of the price by the Customer.

Sending the payment to POSTALCODEZIP, downloading or using the materials will consider the contract formed.

This contract may also be accomplished with the assistance of POSTALCODEZIP if the customer requests it by e-mail or telephone, subject to the sending by POSTALCODEZIP of an e-mail confirming the order informing the Customer of the products to which he has subscribed.

The date of the sending of the e-mail will be considered the Customer’s order date on which the invoice will take effect.

The contract is deemed to be final on the day the order is sent by POSTALCODEZIP. The parties agree that this confirmation from POSTALCODEZIP will serve as evidence between the parties in the event of a conflict.

POSTALCODEZIP will archive this order confirmation email on its own servers and be kept in a safe place.

The date and time of receipt will be those recorded by the POSTALCODEZIP server, which will be binding between the parties until proven otherwise.

If this acknowledgment of receipt is not sent, the contract cannot be deemed to have been established. It is then up to the Customer to contact POSTALCODEZIP to inform it.
