Remote Access Terms

Customers may access their MyCrowd account data via any number of remote tools, browser extensions or API’s. All use of the API, including use of the API through a third-party product that accesses MyCrowd, is bound by these Terms of Service plus the following specific terms:

MyCrowd reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, your access to the API, or any part thereof with or without notice.

Abuse or excessively frequent requests to MyCrowd via remote tools or the API may result in the temporary or permanent suspension of your account’s access to the API. MyCrowd, in its sole discretion, will determine abuse or excessive usage of the API. MyCrowd will make a reasonable attempt via email to warn the account owner prior to suspension.

You expressly understand and agree that MyCrowd shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, resulting from your use of the API or third-party products that access data via the API.

Posting Tasks, Tests or Bug Hunts to the Crowd Platform

A Task means posting a request directly, starting a Bug Hunt, starting a Test Plan Run, restarting any test, or examining certain websites, applications or emails with intent to determine if a Test Script runs correctly or a Bug or Defect exist, gather Feedback, verify proper execution or display and to optionally inform you of the existence and nature of any Bugs or Defects or Feedback or Results.

When starting a new Task, Customer is committing to pay the Total Budget as indicated when starting the Task.
Customer can stop a Task at any time. Shortly after stopping a Task, no new Bugs will be collected. The stopping of the test may not be instantaneous based on the status of the current MyCrowd system.
Customer will not unreasonably Dispute or reject a Bug as this does harm to the community and undermines the goodwill of the platform. Repeated Disputes are grounds for account termination.
MyCrowd, at its sole discretion may suspend, terminate or otherwise end its relationship with Customer for any real or perceived abuse of the platform, or any other reason at any time. The result of which will be the immediate Stopping of all running tests. At MyCrowd’s discretion, all Content may be removed from MyCrowd servers. Customer needs to have a valid payment method stored on the system at all times in order to start a Task or review the results of a Task. Removal, Blocking or Canceling of a payment method in no way removes your obligation to pay the full amount when starting a Task. MyCrowd will seek all methods necessary to collect the due amounts.
MyCrowd reserves the right to periodically confirm your payment method remains valid. This could happen at the beginning of a Task, during the Task performance or after the Task is completed. Failure to confirm will result in the immediate locking of the current Task results and the pausing of the Task and at MyCrowd’s discretion, the deactivation or termination of the account.

If Customer does not post new Paid Tasks for a period of 180 days, Customer’s account may be closed and all credits remaining in it may be forfeited.

In the event that Customer elects to use the option of posting a Task that requires testers to agree to your specific terms and conditions (“Tester Agreement”), and that Customer’s account has sufficient privileges to do so, Customer agrees and understand that any Tester Agreement cannot modify or conflict with MyCrowd standard terms and conditions for testers and that in the event of a conflict, MyCrowd terms and conditions shall control.

Payment, Refunds, Retainers, Upgrading and Downgrading Terms

All paid plans must enter a valid credit card owned by the customer or its affiliate. Trial accounts are not always required to provide a credit card number.

An upgrade from the basic plan to any paying plan will immediately bill Customer, after which billing will occur on the same day of the month preceding service.

The Service is billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months or years of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds beyond those described in E.5, or refunds for months or years unused with an open account. MyCrowd may on its sole discretion offer refunds. In no event will refunds be made for Tasks, Tests or Bug Hunts that have been run for which bugs have already been reported.

For any upgrade or downgrade in plan level, Customer credit card will be charged the full amount of the new plan minus a credit reflecting the prorated amount already paid for that billing cycle. If the credit amount is greater than 0, Customer will not be charged until the beginning of the next billing cycle. Any credit amount in excess of the new plan amount will be forfeited.

All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. You explicitly acknowledge that it is your obligation to comply with all government regulations which require the reporting of sums paid to Testers by MyCrowd. You agree to indemnify and hold MyCrowd harmless from any claims made against it resulting from your failure to comply with this paragraph.

Retainers paid to MyCrowd are non-refundable. Cancellation of tests or Custom Services requiring a retainer will result in the forfeiture of the retainer and possible charges for any additional work that is in progress as outlined by specific Purchase Orders or Custom Service Agreements.

Customer shall not chargeback any credit card payments to MyCrowd. Any such chargeback will result in an additional payment to MyCrowd of US$450 per incident which is a reasonable estimate of MyCrowd’s additional administrative costs. Customer is responsible for any fees and costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and collection agency fees) incurred by MyCrowd in enforcing collection of fees.

Custom Services are offered MyCrowd on an at will basis. Requirements, timelines and pricing for Custom Services engagements will be determined at the time of the engagement and such terms will act as a sub-contract to the MyCrowd Terms of Service Agreement. All of the terms of the MyCrowd Terms of Service Agreement shall apply to Custom Services. In no case shall the terms of the Custom Service Agreement override terms in this agreement. In cases where there is a conflict, the MyCrowd Terms of Service shall govern.

MyCrowd will provide a Price Per Tester cost as agreed by the customer in writing. MyCrowd may optionally provide an estimate for the Setup and Recruiting fees. MyCrowd shall attempt to recruit a Target Number of testers as requested by the customer and defined by the test requirements. Prior to commencement of recruiting, MyCrowd must receive a retainer equal to half of the Target Number of testers being recruited. In the event the Customer cancels the test for any reason other than breach by MyCrowd, the Customer is obligated to compensate MyCrowd for the Setup and Recruiting Time, never to exceed the total budget for the test and MyCrowd will provide a hourly breakdown upon request.
