Please note that this policy has been updated and replaced. This version was effective up to 11 February 2015. Please click here to see the current Software License and Services agreement.
Between (i) Snap Surveys Limited (formerly Mercator Research Group Limited) registered in England under company number 01672722, and (ii) the person identified as the customer on the Order Form (‘You’).
These terms are intended for use with customers who will use the Snap Surveys Products and Services only for the purposes of their business, trade or profession, and by accepting these terms you confirm that this applies to your use.
This agreement includes terms which restrict Snap Surveys’ liability to you – even in situations where Snap Surveys may have been negligent.
The full range of Snap Surveys products and services enables customers to undertake surveys and to analyse the data collected. The core program enables users to create survey questionnaires and to analyse the survey response data. A number of optional modules provide additional functionality, such as the ability to contact survey participants by e-mail and to collect the survey response data automatically through online questionnaires. The software is initially supplied on CD-ROM or another medium, and customers are issued with authorisation codes to enable them to install the software on their own system.
Snap WebHost is both an internet service which enables customers to use Snap Surveys’ software and servers to manage online surveys and to collect, store and analyse the responses. Snap WebHost may also be purchased as a software product to be installed on a customer’s Web server.
Snap Surveys provides a support and updating service under its Snap Plus subscription service. This is an optional service, but it is included free of charge during the initial 12 month warranty period.
A fuller description of the various elements of the Snap Surveys Products and Services is available on the Snap Surveys website
1 Your order and the effect of this agreement
1.1 By submitting an Order Form you are offering to acquire the products and services described in that form on, and subject to, these terms.
1.2 This agreement takes effect when Snap Surveys accepts your order, which only occurs when it sends you an e-mail or a fax to that effect, or it supplies any software and services you have ordered. If Snap Surveys accepts your order by supplying any software or services, it does so only in respect to the products and services supplied. Snap Surveys’ acceptance of your order takes place in England, or is deemed to take place there.
1.3 This agreement covers all aspects of the Snap Surveys Products and Services, and all issues arising out of their supply, non-supply, or use. It brings to an end, and supersedes, any pre-existing agreement between you and Snap Surveys concerning any aspect of the Snap Surveys Products and Services.
2 Installation of the software
2.1 If you are a new customer, you will install the Snap Product on Your System after Snap Surveys sends it and the related documentation to you. In both cases, Snap Surveys will provide you with authorisation codes to enable you to install it. If you are an existing customer still within the Warranty Period, or you are covered by a current Snap Plus subscription, you will install the Snap Product on Your System from the CD-ROM or by downloading it and its documentation from the Snap Surveys website.
2.2 You may order additional optional modules at any time. Subject to availability, and depending on which module you order, Snap Surveys will: (i) provide you with authorisation codes to enable you to download them from the Snap Surveys website and to install them on Your System, (ii) provide you with authorisation codes to enable you to install the modules from the CD-ROM already issued to you, and/or (iii) send you a CD-ROM containing the optional modules (and any associated documentation) and provide you with authorisation codes to enable you to install them.
3 Licence
3.1 Snap Surveys grants you a non-exclusive licence to use those aspects of Snap WebHost you have subscribed to and to install and use the Snap Product on Your System, in each case for the purpose described on the Snap Surveys Website. This licence is granted on and subject to the terms of this agreement and you agree to adhere to any conditions and restrictions.
3.2 You may only use any associated documentation in connection with the authorised use of the Snap Surveys Products and Services.
3.3 Only one user may use the Snap Surveys Products and Services at any one time unless some other restriction on the number of concurrent users is stated on the Order Form, in which case that restriction applies instead.
3.4 You may not:
(a) Make any copies of the Snap Product other than by way of installing and using it on your System at your premises.
(b) Use the Snap Product anywhere other than at your premises unless the Order Form states otherwise (eg by permitting your staff to use it while working for you from home).
(c) Use the Snap Product in any way, or on any computer system, which hinders or prevents the operation of any feature intended to help enforce any restriction, or which is likely to do so.
(d) Permit any person who is not a member of your staff (whether as an employee or a contractor) to use the Snap Product in any way, except that if you have ordered the relevant option you may permit third parties to use the optional modules known as KeyStation for the purpose of entering survey replies and Results Edition for the purpose of enabling them to view and analyse survey response data collected and held by you for them.
(e) Pass on any user name, password or authorisation code to any person other than a member of your staff or the other persons described in this Clause 3.
(f) If the Snap Product enables you to host or operate a version of Snap WebHost, you may not provide that service to any person or entity that is not a direct member of your staff (whether as an employee, contractor or the like) other than to a customer in connection with, and ancillary and subsidiary to, a service you are providing to that customer.
(g) Alter or modify the Snap Product.
(h) Remove, change or obscure any product identification or notices of proprietary rights and restrictions which are in the Snap Product or on any CD-ROM or packaging containing the Snap Product.
(i) Decompile the Snap Product, unless all the conditions required to give you a statutory or other legal right to do so are met. Snap Surveys makes information needed for interoperability available, including by way of the Snap Interchange Format – a text file containing details of the content and formatting of questionnaires and acquired survey data.
(j) Combine the Snap Product with any other software unless you have written permission from Snap Surveys.
(k) Represent the Snap Surveys Products and Services as your own, or as anything other than the products and services of Snap Surveys.
(l) Allow the Snap Product to become the subject of any charge, lien or encumbrance without Snap Surveys’ written permission.
3.5 Snap Surveys may change any aspect of the Snap Surveys Products and Services if it believes it is reasonably necessary to do so in order to avoid or reduce any infringement (or the likelihood of any infringement) of any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. If Snap Surveys notifies you of such a change, and makes the update available to you free of charge, you will use the updated version and the licence in Clause 3.1 only applies to that updated version.
4 Snap WebHost Subscription
4.1 Once you have installed the Snap Product you may subscribe to Snap WebHost at any time by submitting an Order Form. The subscription charge will be the then current standard charge for the subscription model you choose.
4.2 You are responsible for ensuring that you do not exceed any limits which apply to the subscription model you have chosen. If you do exceed them, that will constitute an irrevocable order for the cheapest subscription model with limits which are sufficient to cover your use, and if Snap Surveys accepts that order it will charge you (at its then current standard rates) for that subscription model. Alternatively, and at its sole option, Snap Surveys may require you to remedy your breach within 5 days or it may delete such of the Survey Material as it chooses so as to bring your use within the appropriate limits. (Snap Surveys need not require you to remedy your breach before deleting any Survey Material.)
4.3 Snap Surveys reserves the right to suspend the transmission of any e-mails and other data in order to keep the total amount of material being transmitted (including that being transmitted for other customers) within the capacity and limits of the Snap Surveys System.
4.4 Before any third party user may view any survey response data with your permission, you must assign an access code to that user and the user must accept the then applicable terms of use.
4.5 Snap Surveys provides its services to many of its customers, and it may allocate its resources in the way it considers appropriate. Consequently your use of Snap WebHost may be slowed down or delayed at times of high demand.
4.6 If you purchase the Snap WebHost software and install it on your Web server, it is considered another component of the “Snap Software Product installed on Your system” and is governed by the terms and conditions contained herein.
5 Survey e-mails with Snap WebHost Subscription
5.1 You will ensure that you have all permissions required by law before you use Snap WebHost to send any e-mails to any person and you will provide copies of those permissions to Snap Surveys within 5 days of being asked to do so.
5.2 You will ensure that all e-mails you send using Snap WebHost:
(a) Start by identifying you as the sender and by making clear the commercial nature of the e-mail.
(b) Include the following statement in the main body of the e-mail: ‘You may choose not to receive any further e-mails of this kind from [your name] simply by replying to this e-mail with the word ‘unsubscribe’ in the subject box. There is no charge for doing this.’
(c) Include your full name and geographical address in the main body of the e-mail.
This information must be at least as prominent as any other text in the e-mail.
Snap Surveys may change the detail of this requirement for purposes concerned with data protection, privacy or the regulation of the use of electronic communications by giving you written notice, and if it does you will ensure that any subsequent e-mails comply with that new requirement.
5.3 If any person asks that no more e-mails be sent to a specified e-mail address, whether by using the ‘unsubscribe’ process described in Clause 5.2 or otherwise, you will comply with that request promptly. Snap Surveys may also take such steps as it considers are appropriate to ensure that any such request is complied with.
6 Data Protection/Privacy
6.1 You are the controller for any personal data in the Survey Material and Snap Surveys is acting as your data processor. Snap Surveys will only process that personal data in furtherance of this agreement.
6.2 You will comply with all Data Protection and Privacy Laws, and you will reimburse Snap Surveys for any losses, damages, costs (including legal costs) and expenses incurred by it, or awarded against it, as a result of or in connection with any breach of this Clause 6.2 by you.

7.2 The Snap Plus benefits are available free of charge during the Warranty Period if you have completed and returned the user registration form accompanying the Snap Product.
7.3 You may benefit from Snap Plus after the end of the Warranty Period by submitting an Order Form and paying Snap Surveys’ then current standard charge for the service. Snap Plus covers you for 12 months, and you may renew it for further periods.

(a) It may claim such monies as part of the price due under this agreement.

(c) It is not obliged to fulfil any of its obligations under this agreement until it does receive all the monies which are due, irrespective of whether it has already fulfilled some.
