Dispute Resolution

When a Buyer or Seller issue arises, we may consider the user's performance history and the specific circumstances in applying our policies. We may choose to be more lenient with policy enforcement in an effort to do the right thing for both Buyers and Sellers.

The default setting on transactions is to not accept returns, cancellations, or refunds because a Buyer can easily copy Data sold to them by a Seller. If a Buyer believes a Seller has fraudulently represented the Data sold to the Buyer, the Buyer may request that Data & Sons review the transaction and examine the quality and accuracy of Data purchased. If Data & Sons determines the Seller did not accurately represent their Data, provide the amount or quality of Data promised, or otherwise mislead a Buyer, Data & Sons can require the Seller to provide a full or partial refund to the Buyer.

To begin the dispute process, a Seller sends an email to help@dataandsons.com

Money Back Guarantee

Data & Sons offers money back satisfaction guarantees on all products sold on Data & Sons. Our return policy is as follows. Upon notification of a Buyer’s intent to return a product, Data & Sons will work with the Buyer and Seller to identify and correct any defects, inaccuracies, or any other issues with the product. If Data & Sons and/or the Seller are unable to satisfy the Buyer’s issues with the product, Data & Sons will provide a full refund within 7 working days.

We limit our money back guarantee to two returns per annum (365 days) per user account. Because Data is a knowledge good that may be easily copied and stored, Data & Sons and our Sellers cannot confirm a Buyer returns Data without maintaining their own copy of purchased Data. In order to protect Data & Sons and our Sellers from abuse of our money back guarantee, we limit the number of returns to two per annum to prevent opportunistic Buyer activity on our marketplace.

If a Buyer seeks third and subsequent returns during a 365 day period, the Buyer agrees to follow the dispute resolution process identified in Dispute Resolution of this Agreement. The Buyer also agrees that once a Buyer has returned two products in a 365 day period payment is is non-refundable once Data & Sons charges the Buyer’s designated Payment Method for Data as provided in this Agreement or the other Terms of Service, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Buyer therefore agrees not to ask its credit card company, bank, or other Payment Method provider to charge back any Data or other Fees charged pursuant to the Terms of Service once the Buyer has made two returns in a 365 day period. A chargeback in breach of the foregoing obligation is a material breach of the Terms of Service. If Buyer initiates a chargeback in violation of this Agreement, Buyer agrees that Data & Sons may dispute or appeal the chargeback and institute collection action against Buyer.

Data & Sons Fees

Data & Sons charges 30% of the purchase price for all transactions. We may change our seller fees from time to time by posting the changes on the Data & Sons site 14 days in advance, but with no advance notice required for temporary promotions or any changes that result in the reduction of fees.

Data & Sons reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the Data & Sons’ Affiliate Program immediately and without notice to you should you commit fraud in your use of the Data & Sons’ Affiliate Program or should you abuse this program in any way. If such fraud or abuse is detected, Data & Sons shall not be liable to you for any commissions for such fraudulent sales.

3.3. This Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate application, and will continue unless terminated hereunder.

4. Termination

Either you or we may end this Agreement AT ANY TIME, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can be in the form of mail, email or fax. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by you.

5. Modification

We may modify any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement at any time at our sole discretion. In such event, you will be notified by email. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in the payment procedures and Data & Sons’ Affiliate Program rules.

Your continued participation in Data & Sons’ Affiliate Program following the posting of the change notice or new Agreement on our site will indicate your agreement to the changes.

7. Access to Affiliate Account Interface

8. Promotion Restrictions

8.1. You are free to promote your own web sites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Data & Sons could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Data & Sons. For example, advertising commonly referred to as "spamming" is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote Data & Sons so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote Data & Sons so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from Data & Sons. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Data & Sons’ Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.

8.2. Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as dataandsons.com, data & sons, www.dataandsons, www.dataandsons.com, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to ours, will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from Data & Sons’ Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our affiliate program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.

8.3. Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in Data & Sons’ service).

8.4. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,” “Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited Data & Sons’ site (i.e., no page from our site or any dataandsons.com’s content or branding is visible on the end-user’s screen). As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Data & Sons site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open Data & Sons’ site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.
