Brevo Terms of Service

If the legal entity you represent or act on behalf of is incorporated in the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, the following terms are applicable to you: Sendinblue Inc. Terms of Use

Preamble

Sendinblue, a simplified joint-stock company registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 498 019 298 with its registered office at 106 boulevard Haussmann 75008 Paris (hereafter “Brevo“) operates a solution relating to marketing and/or transactional email and/or SMS via its website www.brevo.com (“the Site“).

The purpose of these General Conditions of Use is to define the terms of use of Brevo Services. They constitute a legal and binding agreement between Brevo and any user of the www.brevo.com platform (the “User”).

To access, browse, or use our Services, the User must agree to be unconditionally bound by these Terms. The User can accept the Terms by clicking to accept or by agreeing to the Terms where this option is made available in any agreement, electronic form, or the user interface for any Service Brevo offers, or by actually using the Services. By subscribing to or using the Site, the Platform or the Services, the User will be deemed to have read and accepted without reservation the current version of these General Terms of Use and the User represents and warrants that its representative is at least 18 years of age and that this representative possess the legal right and ability to enter into these Terms of Use. As the Users are accessing the Services on behalf of a legal entity, the User represents and warrant that its representative is authorized to act on behalf of the legal entity and to bind such legal entity to these Terms of Use. The User warrants that the organization the User represents is not be based in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or any other territory that is subject to a U.S. government embargo or international sanction and that it is not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted person.

Any special conditions potentially negotiated between Brevo and the User shall prevail over these General Conditions of Use.

The terms used in this document are defined as follows:

The “User” means any natural or legal person authorized to use the Brevo Services.

The “Services” provided by Brevo are the features made available to Users via the Site, in accordance with the applicable Version of the Software, such as sending SMSs and emails, providing reports or optimizing the deliverability of messages sent, as detailed on the Site (at the following address: https://www.brevo.com/features/) or in a purchase order if the User subscribed to the Brevo+ offer.

The “data processor” is the company that performs data processing at the request of a data controller. Thus, Brevo acts as a data processor to make its Services available to Users, who define the purpose and the means of the processing. Brevo may also use secondary processors (“sub-processors”) to carry out data processing on its behalf.

The “User’s data” is understood as data processed by Brevo on behalf of the Users within the framework of the performance of the Services subscribed.

“Personal data” means information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

“Software” shall mean the suite of software owned and/or operated by Brevo or its affiliates and/or delivered under the business name Brevo and necessary to provide the Services.

“Version”: shall mean all the releases of the Software developed by Brevo. All releases shall apply to the User as part of Brevo’s standard software and Services. A release may create, modify or discontinue one or several feature(s) of the Service.

The “Parties” shall mean Brevo and the User.

Brevo provides solutions relating to marketing and/or transactional email and/or SMS, through its sending platform, marketed via the Site.

The use of Brevo Services requires the creation of an online account.

The Users are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide and undertake to update the information concerning them or to notify Brevo without delay of any change affecting their situation.

The Users shall take all useful measures to maintain the confidentiality of access to their account.

In the event of fraudulent use of their account, the Users undertake to immediately notify Brevo and change their access password without delay.

Any costs resulting from such unauthorised use shall be borne by the Users until Brevo has been notified by them of such use.

Brevo shall in no event be liable for material or immaterial damages resulting from the use of the account by a third party, with or without the Users’ permission.

Brevo shall store messages sent through its platform on behalf of the Users. Distribution lists shall be maintained as long as the Users correctly set up and update their account. Brevo shall protect the integrity, confidentiality and administrative, material and technical security of the Users’ personal information.

By subscribing to Brevo Services, the Users agree to pay the price corresponding to the Services selected and to their country of residence.

Unless specifically otherwise stipulated, the prices of the Services subscribed shall be paid at the time of subscription and in the currency in which they were invoiced, in accordance with the financial conditions detailed here: https://www.brevo.com/pricing/.

The prices displayed on the Site are exclusive of charges, and they do not include VAT. Additional charges shall be applied on the invoice according to the Users’ country of residence and applicable legal and regulatory provisions. If the User’s organization subjects invoicing and/or payment to the creation or update by Brevo of an account on a specific invoicing platform, and/or if the User’s organization only accepts payment via wire transfer, Brevo reserves the right to charge an annual additional fee of 100 euros.

Once logged in the platform, or by subscribing via our Pay as you go page (https://www.brevo.com/pricing/pay-as-you-go/), the User can also purchase SMS or WhatsApp messages on a pay-as-you-go basis. To send SMS and/or WhatsApp messages via the Brevo Services, the User must purchase an amount of credits in advance. One credit allows the User to send a certain number of SMS or WhatsApp messages in a given country or geographical area (hereinafter the “Ratio”). Each credit is prepaid and remains valid for a duration of twelve (12) months from its date of purchase by the User (the “Validity Period”). At the time of purchase by the User, the Ratio is indicated in the Platform for informational purpose only. During the Validity Period, the Ratio of both SMS and/or WhatsApp messages depends on the exchange rates applied to Brevo when purchasing the credits and on the market prices, applied by Brevo’s suppliers and third parties, and may therefore evolve during the performance of the contract. When an applicable exchange rate is updated or when a change of price is notified to Brevo by its suppliers or WhatsApp, Brevo might immediately apply with retroactive effect the new Ratio and price increase to the User. Users can request the communication of the current price list relevant to the destination countries for which they purchased SMS and/or WhatsApp messages at [email protected]. When using WhatsApp messages, the User might benefit from a fixed monthly volume of free WhatsApp messages, as described as the case may be on our Pay as you go page: this offer is only valid as long as (i) the User owns a verified WhatsApp Business account and (ii) WhatsApp provides those messages for free. The monthly volume of free WhatsApp messages resets at the end of each month.

When the User subscribes to a Starter or Business plan that is subject to a contacts limit and the User exceeds this contacts limit, Brevo reserves the right to automatically increase the contacts limit in the User account and upgrade the User’s plan without prior notice.
If the User subscribes to a Starter or Business plan that is not subject to a contacts limit, the use of the Service shall be subject to fair use. Fair use means a limit of 500.000 contacts for the Starter plan and of 2 millions contacts for the Business plan.

In any case, Brevo reserves the right to set a limit to the overall number of contacts allowed in the User account on Starter or Business plans.

Each Party declares that it shall respect the regulations applicable to its activity.

In general terms, the Users shall guarantee that the information sent via the Brevo Services does not contravene any legal or regulatory provision or a provision resulting from an international agreement applicable to them and in particular the provisions in force in France, in the State in which the User carries out their activity and in the State in which the persons appearing on the distribution lists reside, nor the rights of third parties.

The sending of email and SMSs to customers and prospects is subject to the applicable data protection and digital marketing laws and regulations, in particular, without this list being exhaustive:

The Users authorise Brevo to use their name, brand and visual identity solely for the purpose of executing the Services.

The Users guarantee to Brevo:

In addition, the Users shall undertake to guarantee Brevo against any claim by third parties as well as any penalty that Brevo may find itself imposed against it resulting from any non-compliance with this article.

All programs, services, processes, designs, software, technologies, trademarks and trade names and inventions appearing on the Site, accessible via the Site or via the Brevo Services, are the property of Brevo or its licensors.

The Users shall undertake not to use, in any way whatsoever, the Site, the Services or any of the elements set out above for purposes other than those provided for herein.

For the purposes of providing the Services, Brevo has access to information contained in email distribution lists created by the Users via their personal account, as well as to the subject and content of emails sent to their distribution lists through the Services. This information contains personal data concerning third parties.

As creators of the distribution lists, the Users are responsible for the processing of the personal data appearing in those lists within the meaning of the applicable regulations. As such, if the Users are domiciled in the European Union, or if their distribution lists contain personal data of citizens of the European Union, the User guarantees to Brevo that they shall comply with the provisions of Regulation No. 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 (the “GDPR”) as well as those of Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978 Information Technology, Data Files and Civil Liberties, and in particular:

It is specified that the Users are solely responsible for managing the retention periods of personal data that they upload onto the Brevo platform, and that it is incumbent on them to delete the data as and when its retention period expires. Brevo is responsible only for deleting this data at the end of its contractual relationship with the Users.

Without prejudice to Brevo’s obligations to retain data, Brevo reserves the right to delete the User’s account including its content if the User has not logged in the Software for a period of ninety (90) days. Unless the period of inactivity has exceeded 18 months, Brevo will notify the User via email of the imminent deletion of the account. Following the notification, the account and its content will be automatically and permanently deleted If the User has not logged in the Software before the end of the inactivity period. Following such deletion, no restoration of the account or associated data shall be possible.

Brevo has taken all the necessary precautions to preserve the security of personal data and, in particular, to prevent it from being distorted or damaged or from unauthorised third parties having access to it.

These measures include the following:

In addition, access to processing by Brevo Services requires authentication of the persons accessing the data, by means of an individual access code and password, sufficiently robust and regularly renewed.

Data transmitted over unsecured communication channels shall be subject to technical measures designed to make such data incomprehensible to any unauthorized person.

Brevo acts as a data processor on behalf of the Users, and undertakes to respect the obligations described in the Annex “Agreement on the processing of personal data“.

In this context, it is specified that:

To enable Brevo to anticipate and avoid the risks of spam, phishing or fraud on its platform, the Users are informed that Brevo reserves the right to transmit information related to the User’s representative to third party providers domiciled outside the European Union, for the purpose of establishing a reliability score. Any transmission of this data will be carried out by Brevo in compliance with applicable laws and EU guidelines.

Finally, the Users expressly accept that the behavior of the recipients of these emails may be processed by Brevo (tracking opening rates, click rates and bounce rates at the individual level) to improve the efficiency of the emailing campaigns.

Brevo reserves the right to regularly delete the data generated by the use of the platform and Services from the User’s account, including events and logs (the “Logs”), the statistics and reports that rely on the Logs, and the email previews. The deletion of Logs will be performed at least every 24 months following each Log creation and the deletion of email preview every 30 days. These data deletions may affect the availability of the statistics and reports generated by the Services up to the date of deletion. Brevo advises the User to regularly download such data.

The User expressly understands and agrees that the Services are provided on an as-is-and-as-available basis with all faults and defects. Brevo makes no warranties regarding the Service whatsoever,  for itself and on behalf of its affiliates, licensors and service providers, other than the above and expressly disclaims any and all implied warranties, including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Brevo makes no representation of any kind that the services will meet the User’s requirements, achieve any intended results, be compatible, or work with any other software, applications, systems, devices or services, operate without interruption, meet any performance or reliability standards, or be error free, or that any errors or defects can or will be corrected. Brevo makes no warranty that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error free or virus free.

The User acknowledges and accepts that its use of the Services shall comply with the guidelines detailed in the help center available at: https://help.brevo.com/hc/en-us (hereinafter the “Documentation”). The Documentation shall be updated from time to time and it is advised that the User consults the Documentation on a regular basis. The User acknowledges and accepts that any use of the Service disregarding, non complying and/or breaching the guidelines provided in the Documentation might affect the performance of the Service and/or modify its pricing.

Any use of the Services that may damage, disable, or overload Brevo’s infrastructure or networks connected to Brevo’s servers, or interfere with the enjoyment of the Services by other Users, is prohibited.

Each Party will promptly take all necessary and appropriate actions to investigate, mitigate and remediate a Security Breach and its effects.

PSP and Brevo may use de-identified transaction-related data, which may also be aggregated data, for various purposes including but not limited to analyzing, tracking, and comparing transaction and other data to develop and provide insights for Client and/or other PSP’s customers as well as for developing, marketing, maintaining and/or improving PSP’s or Brevo’s products and services. To this end, PSP uses network analysis and machine learning models for the purpose of payment performance, gaining better insights, fraud prevention, risk assessment and for improving PSP’s products and services.

PSP’s Score service (or Score) uses such network analysis and machine learning models in order to identify and score fraudulent patterns in Client’s transactional behavior. The Score can be accessed by PSP and Brevo.

PSP will process personal data for the Score in accordance with the Adyen Privacy Policy (available at: https://www.adyen.com/policies-and-disclaimer/privacy-policy).

Brevo reserves the right to cancel Transactions, at PSP’s discretion, that it has reasonable grounds to suspect to be fraudulent or involving other criminal activities, even if the fraud control tool failed to block the Payment Transaction. In this case, Brevo shall notify and inform Client about these grounds without undue delay after being notified by PSP.

8.1. The Client is solely responsible for the use of the Payment Services and in particular: 

8.2. The Client will hold Brevo harmless against all damages, claims and actions of third parties resulting from intentional misconduct, negligence, or breach by the Client of this Agreement and/or of the PSP Terms.

8.3. The Client is informed that any use of the Payment Services in violation of this Agreement or the PSP Terms may result in the application of a criminal or administrative sanction to the PSP, who is solely responsible for the provision of the Payment Services.  In the event that the use of the Payment Services leads to the application of such sanction, the Client will hold Brevo against any claim by the PSP in this respect and will indemnify Brevo of any damage suffered as a result, provided that the damage is attributable to it. 

8.4. Brevo will not give advice to the Client about financial services provided by Brevo or by the PSP nor will Brevo mediate between the PSP and the Client for the provision of the Payment Services.

Without prejudice to the termination grounds set out in the Terms and Conditions, Brevo may at any time terminate this agreement upon written notice to Client if and when:

In all cases of termination (for breach, by mutual agreement, for non-renewal), Brevo shall set off from the Client’s Account, provided the Account’s balance allows it, all amounts due by Client at the date of termination.

Except as expressly notified otherwise by Brevo, the termination of this Agreement shall not automatically terminate the Brevo Terms and Conditions or as the case may be any ongoing Order Forms. However, the termination for cause of this Agreement by Brevo allows Brevo to terminate the Brevo Terms and Conditions and/or as the case may be any ongoing Order Form(s).

In addition to any audit rights or ongoing provision of documentation and information obligations described herein, Client will reasonably cooperate with any request for information by Brevo or PSP, their auditors, regulatory authorities, or Scheme Owners, without undue delay. Brevo and/or PSP, its auditor, or any regulatory authority with oversight on Brevo or PSP’s services, during the term, may perform audit(s), which may require both off-site and on-site access, Client’s policies, procedures, software, technical connections, records and any other activity that relate to the Payment Service (“Audit”). Brevo and/or PSP will, when possible, provide at least 10 business days’ advance written notice of any Audit, starting from the communication of the audit plan by Brevo and/or PSP. Client will not limit or prevent Brevo, the PSP, a lawful body, regulatory body, competent authority, auditor, or Scheme Owner from exercising its rights to conduct investigations, request information, or perform Audits in relation to the Payment Service. Any Audit shall be conducted during normal business hours, and in a manner that reasonably minimizes interference with Client’s business. Client shall give all necessary assistance to the conduct of audits during the continuance of this agreement and for any period after termination of this agreement in accordance with Applicable Law. Any third-party audit costs will be borne by Brevo or the PSP, unless the audit reveals that Client has materially breached its obligations under this agreement, the Brevo Terms of Service, the Payment Service Provider Terms and/or Applicable Law.

Client agrees and complies with the current content of the Card User Terms at all times during the Client’s use of the Card Services.

11.1. Issuing of physical card

Client will provide Brevo with an order form or other written request as may be agreed by the Parties, when instructing Brevo to pass on to PSP the order to design and /or manufacture Cards (“Order”). The Order shall not be binding until accepted in writing by Brevo and Adyen. When Brevo instructs PSP on behalf of Client to manufacture Cards with a custom design (such as Client’s branding), the Cards must comply with the then-current Card design requirements applied by the relevant Scheme Owner. Brevo might provide available guidelines regarding Card design on request of the Client, depending on their communication by the PSP. Brevo expressly makes no warranties that a custom design complies with relevant guidelines nor that a custom design will be accepted by the relevant Scheme Owner. Brevo is not responsible or liable for costs or delays that result from a custom Card design not being accepted by the relevant Scheme Owner.

Brevo makes no warranties about communicated manufacturing or distribution timelines as these generally depend on external factors not within the control of Brevo or PSP, such as but not limited to, delays in manufacturing or distribution caused by the Card manufacturer. Client is responsible for monitoring and accounting for Card expiration. Client shall reach out to Brevo from time to time when it requires new Cards to an existing Card Program or replace existing Cards. At the time of such request Client and Brevo shall estimate the anticipated delivery time. Brevo is not responsible for managing the PSP’s manufacturing stock. Brevo accepts no responsibility or liability in connection with Card stock management or Card availability.

If the Client cancels an Order due to circumstances not within the control or responsibility of Brevo, the Client will reimburse Brevo the relevant design, manufacturing, distribution and third party (cancelation) costs incurred by Brevo as a result of the Order or cancelation thereof.

11.2. Reversibility

In the event of termination, Brevo will automatically cease the provision of Card Service to the Client. The Card remains the property of the PSP and must be returned or destroyed following the termination of the Card Service. 

The parties will cooperate in good faith to ensure the orderly wind-down or transition of the Card Service, including providing commercially reasonable transition support. 

Termination of this Agreement does not affect each party’s obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to pay or procure payment of fees, costs, indemnified amounts or other financial obligations towards the other party based on, or resulting from, services rendered, or activities performed during the term of this Agreement. 

If at the time of termination, any Client’s obligations to Brevo or PSP remain in relation to the Card Service, the relevant provisions of this Agreement and the Card User Terms will survive such termination and remain in force until all obligations of the Client are fulfilled. Client accepts responsibility for any losses, claims, costs, or damages Brevo incurs.

Arbitration Agreement. Please read this section carefully. This section affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions.

YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Any claim or dispute brought by you arising from or relating to these Terms, or to the relationships that result from these Terms, including disputes about the validity, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) may, at Brevo’s option and in its sole discretion, be settled exclusively by binding, individual arbitration, rather than in court, and to be held in King County, Washington, or another location mutually agreeable to the parties. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association under its rules and procedures. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Prior to initiating any arbitration, you will give Brevo at least 60 days’ advanced written notice of your intent to file for arbitration.  You must provide such notice by email to [email protected]. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any Covered Disputes. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. 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(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties. Judgment upon the award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms, and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. You are not entitled to arbitrate any Covered Dispute as a class, representative, or private attorney action, and the arbitrator(s) 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 is found illegal or unenforceable, the remaining arbitration terms shall continue to be fully valid, binding, and enforceable (but in no case will there be a class, representative, or private attorney general arbitration). These Terms and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA) and, where otherwise applicable, by the laws of the State of Washington. Brevo reserves all rights to pursue any and all claims and remedies, whether in a court of law or other tribunal, and in no way shall the foregoing be interpreted to limit Brevo’s rights in this regard. 

General. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Brevo as a result of these Terms or your use of the Services. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. You hereby consent to Brevo publicizing the existence (but not the terms) of the relationship contemplated hereunder as a part of Brevo’s promotional and marketing activities from time to time. These Terms, along with the agreements incorporated by reference herein, constitute the entire agreement between Brevo and you with respect to your access to and use of the Services and your Brevo account, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between Brevo and you with respect thereto and, with respect to your use of the Services, supersedes the terms of any other party’s terms and conditions. These Terms may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, as applicable to the Services, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original for all purposes, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The failure of Brevo to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
