Last updated: February, 10th, 2023

These Testimonials Terms and Conditions (“Testimonials Terms”) are a part of the Terms of Service (“Terms”) by Spark Mail Limited (“Spark Mail”, “we”, “our” “us”). Please carefully read these Testimonials Terms in conjunction with the Terms.

Unless defined in these Testimonials Terms, all capitalised terms used herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Terms. In the event of any conflict between the Testimonials Terms and Terms, the provisions of the Terms shall prevail.

Testimonials Terms apply to any and all content, media, and materials provided to us by the Spark App user (“User”, “you”, “your”) for publishing as testimonials of the Spark App (the “App”) that may include, but are not limited to, written statements, photos, pictures, videos, or audio recordings (“Testimonial”).

Testimonials: Purpose & Contents

The purpose of the Testimonials is to illustrate how our Users perceive and interact with the App. We use Testimonials to demonstrate to the general public the possibilities and features of the App, and share the genuine feedback from the Users. 

The published Testimonial usually comprises a User’s opinion, name, and photo. Sometimes a Testimonial may also provide a link to the User’s personal website or social media account, the User’s nickname, a description of business, profession, position, or employer, as well as other pieces of data that the User may disclose. 

Collecting Testimonial and Obtaining Your Consent for Publishing

If we notice your review of our App on a third-party website or, if you provide a review or feedback to us directly, we may ask you for consent to publish them on our Website and/or in-app screens, and/or social media accounts, and/or our marketing communications distributed via email or otherwise. If you agree, we will ask you to provide us with your content, media and materials to the extent that you wish to disclose and sign a release form to formalize your consent.

You may disagree to provide your consent. Your refusal shall lead to no changes in your (your organization’s) ability to use the App or your Spark Account. Moreover, should you provide your consent, you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.

In addition to signing the release form, we may also ask you for a video call or meeting to record your consent. Of course, you will be notified in advance if our meeting is recorded. This recording is for our legal purposes only and it will not be published anywhere.
