Sponsorship Terms

Payment and cancellation

Recurring sponsorships are billed in advance at the price and frequency shown at checkout. They start on the first successful payment and renew for successive billing periods until cancelled. Applicable taxes are additional. Any price lock promised in your accepted offer remains in effect on its stated conditions.

Either party may cancel renewal by emailing the other before the next renewal charge. Services continue until the paid period ends. Ordinary cancellation during a paid period does not create a refund entitlement; any guarantee or other refund right in your accepted offer still applies.

Placements and editorial independence

Sponsorship is flat-fee advertising, with no commission or share of engagement fees. It is non-exclusive unless your offer expressly includes an exclusive placement. Payment buys the disclosed placement you purchase; buyer fit and editorial eligibility still apply.

We retain control of editorial content, ratings, verification findings, comparisons and rankings. Sponsorship provides no approval or removal rights over independent coverage, during or after the subscription. It does not guarantee an AI mention, citation or answer position.

Information and brand materials

You supply accurate information and authorized pricing and confirm your authority to license any brand materials you provide. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use those materials to deliver and promote your sponsorship during the paid period.

This licence does not restrict independent editorial coverage or factual references to your business, during or after sponsorship.

Delivery guarantees

Only guarantees expressly included in your accepted offer apply, with the measurement and refund or credit remedy stated there.

If your offer includes a shortlist guarantee, only appearances in fitting buyer comparisons actually delivered count. Internal matching or outreach alone does not count. Buyer replies, meetings, sales and revenue are not guaranteed.

Confidentiality and buyer information

Each party protects the other’s non-public commercial information and buyer information, except for disclosures authorized for the services or required by law. Buyer insights are anonymized or aggregated. We share a buyer’s identity or contact details only when the buyer authorizes an introduction.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect losses, and each party’s total aggregate liability to the other arising out of or in connection with the sponsorship is capped at USD 7,500. This does not limit payment or refund obligations, fraud, wilful misconduct or liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Confidentiality and data-related claims between the parties remain within the cap to the extent permitted by law. This sponsorship creates no indemnity obligation.

Other terms

Either party may terminate for a material breach not corrected within 14 days of email notice. If you terminate for our uncorrected material breach, we refund unused prepaid fees without duplicating any guarantee refund. We may also end a sponsorship early by refunding unused prepaid fees. Paid placements end when sponsorship ends; independent listings and editorial coverage may remain.

Polish law applies, with disputes between the parties heard by the courts of Warsaw, Poland, except where mandatory law requires otherwise. Notices to us go to hello@soc2auditors.org; notices to you go to your billing email.

These terms take precedence over conflicting general website terms for your sponsorship. A separately agreed sponsorship agreement takes precedence over both. We retain previous versions. Updated terms apply to new purchases; changes to an existing arrangement require notice and any legally required agreement.
