HYPE MEDIA
Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Hype Media website at hype-media.app, the Hype Media web application, APIs, lead lists, exports, email digests, and related services (together, the "Service"), provided by Hype Media ("Hype Media," "we," "us," or "our"). By signing in to or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorized to bind that company, and "you" means that company.
1. The Service
Hype Media is a sales intelligence tool for media sales teams. The Service reviews publicly available digital editions of publications, identifies advertisements and the businesses that placed them, and provides lead lists that may include business category, advertising activity and trends, estimated spend tiers, AI-generated pitch briefs, and business contact information gathered from public and third-party sources.
The Service is intended for business-to-business use only. It is not for personal, family, or household purposes.
2. Accounts and sign-in
- You sign in with a Google account. You are responsible for keeping that account secure and for all activity under your Hype Media account.
- Accounts are for named individuals. Do not share sign-in access or let others use your account.
- Tell us right away at support@hype-media.app if you suspect unauthorized access.
- You must be at least 18 years old and use the Service in a professional capacity.
3. Pilots, trials, and plans
- Pilots and trials. We may offer free or discounted pilot or trial access for a limited period, such as 30 days. Features, limits (including contact reveals and exports), and duration are set out in your order, invitation, or in-app plan details. We may end or change a pilot at the end of its term.
- Paid plans. Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis, either by invoice or through our payment processor, Stripe. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or stated in a signed order.
- Renewal and cancellation. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. You can cancel at any time and access will continue through the end of the current billing period.
- Taxes. Fees do not include taxes. You are responsible for applicable taxes other than taxes on our income.
- Price changes. We will give at least 30 days' notice of fee changes, which will apply from your next renewal.
4. How you may use lead data
You may use lead lists, contact information, and pitch briefs ("Lead Data") only for your own internal sales and marketing outreach to prospective advertisers. You agree that you will:
- comply with all applicable laws when you contact anyone, including the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the National Do Not Call Registry and state telemarketing rules, and applicable state privacy laws;
- honor opt-out and do-not-contact requests promptly;
- not sell, resell, license, publish, or share Lead Data with third parties, or use it to build a competing product or database;
- not use Lead Data to decide anyone's eligibility for credit, employment, insurance, or housing, or for any purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act;
- not use Lead Data to harass, stalk, or discriminate against anyone.
5. Acceptable use
You will not, and will not help anyone else to:
- scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or otherwise extract data from the Service except through features we provide, such as CSV export;
- get around plan limits, contact reveal quotas, or access controls;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or probe the Service for vulnerabilities, except through coordinated disclosure to support@hype-media.app;
- interfere with the Service's operation, or upload malware;
- use the Service in violation of any law or third-party right.
6. Data accuracy
Lead Data is compiled automatically from public sources, third-party providers, and AI analysis. It may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. Estimated spend tiers and pitch briefs are estimates and suggestions, not facts or guarantees. Treat every lead as a starting point and verify important details before you rely on them. If you find an error, tell us at support@hype-media.app.
7. Third-party content
Advertisements, publication pages, trademarks, and logos shown in the Service belong to their respective owners. We display them in limited form to identify advertisers and analyze the market. Nothing in the Service suggests endorsement by, or affiliation with, any publication or advertiser. If you believe content in the Service infringes your rights, contact support@hype-media.app and we will review it promptly.
8. Ownership
We own the Service, including its software, design, compiled datasets, and analysis. Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service and Lead Data during your subscription. You own the notes, lists, and other content you add ("Your Content"), and you give us permission to host and process it to provide the Service. If you send us feedback, we may use it without any obligation to you.
9. Confidentiality
Each party will protect the other's non-public business information that it receives through the Service with reasonable care, and will use it only to perform under these Terms. This does not apply to information that is public, already known to the recipient, or independently developed.
10. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these Terms, fail to pay, or create a legal or security risk. Where reasonable, we will give notice first. When access ends, your right to use the Service ends. You must stop using Lead Data obtained under a plan that has ended, except for records of outreach you already made. Sections 4, 6–9, and 11–14 survive termination.
11. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND LEAD DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY SALES RESULTS OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR US $100 IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID US. THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO YOUR BREACH OF SECTIONS 4 OR 5 OR YOUR PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS.
13. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify Hype Media against third-party claims arising from your use of Lead Data, your outreach to any person, or your breach of Sections 4 or 5.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and each party consents to their jurisdiction. Before filing a claim, each party agrees to try to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days after written notice.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or in the Service at least 15 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
16. General
These Terms, together with any signed order form, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If an order form conflicts with these Terms, the order form controls. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
