Terms of Service
PLEASE READ THESE CUSTOMER TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY.
Our Terms of Service is a contract that governs our customers’ use of the Makánal Tech services. It consists of the following documents:
- General Terms: These contain the core legal and commercial terms that apply to your use of our products and services. Any references to Master Terms means these General Terms.
- Product Specific Terms: These include any additional terms that apply to your use of each of our product offerings, our consulting and other services and third-party services.
- Jurisdiction Specific Terms: Depending on your location, some of these jurisdiction specific terms will apply to you. They’ll also explain which Makánal Tech entity you’re contracting with, and which laws will govern our relationship.
- Data Processing Agreement (DPA): This explains how we process your data and includes the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
- Acceptable Use Policy (AUP): This is the rulebook setting out what you can and can’t do while using our products and services.
Your Order Form is the Makánal Tech-approved form created following your purchase of one of our products or services through our online payment process or via in-app purchase. It contains all of the details about your purchase, including your subscription term, products and services purchased and your fees. You’ll find your Order Form(s) in the Accounts and Billing section of your Makánal Tech account.
We’ve aimed to keep these documents as readable as possible, but in some cases for legal reasons, some of the language is necessarily “legalese”. By using the Subscription Service or receiving the Consulting Services, you are agreeing to these terms.
We update these terms from time to time. If you have an active Makánal Tech subscription, we will let you know when we update the terms via in-app notification or by email (if you subscribe to receive email updates).

2. Marketing Hub (with Marketing Contacts)
In October 2020, Makánal Tech introduced a new contacts pricing model for Marketing Hub called “Marketing Contacts”. Customers who purchase one of our Marketing Contacts Products (defined below) will only pay for the contacts to which they want to send marketing emails and target ads, and they can store up to fifteen million total Contacts (Non-Marketing Contacts and Marketing Contacts) for free.
The Marketing Contacts pricing model will be available to all new Marketing Hub customers on October 21, 2020. If you purchase any of our Marketing Contacts Products, the Marketing Hub terms in Section 2.1 below will apply to your subscription.
Existing Marketing Hub customers with legacy contacts pricing will have the option on renewal to either (i) renew their existing Marketing Hub subscription or (ii) switch to the new Marketing Contacts pricing model when it is made available.
2.1. Marketing Hub (with Marketing Contacts)
The terms in this Section 2.1 apply to any purchase of the following products: Marketing Contacts Products as defined below.
a. Definitions
“Marketing Contacts” means Contacts that are able to receive marketing emails and be targeted with ads, and are designated as Marketing Contacts in your Makánal Tech account.
“Marketing Contacts Products” means
- Marketing Hub Starter - Marketing Contacts;
- Marketing Hub Professional - Marketing Contacts; and
- Marketing Hub Enterprise - Marketing Contacts;
as further described in the Products and Services Catalog, and including any additional Marketing Contacts that you may purchase with the above products (such as Starter Marketing Contacts, Professional Marketing Contacts, and Enterprise Marketing Contacts). Details of Your Marketing Contacts subscription will be set out on your Order Form.
"Maximum Contacts" means the maximum number of Marketing Contacts you are permitted to use with the Subscription Service as identified in your Order Form, plus any Marketing Contacts added as part of an upgrade.
“Non-Marketing Contacts” means Contacts that are not designated as marketing-eligible by you in your Makánal Tech account. You cannot target Non-Marketing Contacts with marketing emails or ads.
b. Marketing Contacts Products Email Send Limit
For Marketing Hub Enterprise - Marketing Contacts, the Email Send Limit is equal to twenty (20) times the Maximum Contacts number per month. For Marketing Hub Professional - Marketing Contacts, the Email Send Limit is equal to ten (10) times the Maximum Contacts number per month. For Marketing Hub Starter - Marketing Contacts, this limit is equal to five (5) times the Maximum Contacts number per calendar month.
If you reach your Email Send Limit, you may not be able to send any more emails. You may increase your Email Send Limit by upgrading your Marketing Contacts edition or by purchasing a ‘Dedicated IP Add-on’ which includes unlimited email sends, in which case your fee will increase during the course of a Billing Period as described in the ‘Fee Adjustments’ section below.
c. Marketing Contacts Products Subscription Fees
The Subscription Fee for Marketing Contacts Products will remain fixed during the Subscription Term unless you:
- exceed your Maximum Contacts or other applicable limits set out on the Products and Services Catalog,
- upgrade products or base packages,
- subscribe to additional features or products, including additional Marketing Contacts, or
- unless otherwise agreed to in the Order Form.
For our Marketing Contacts Products, once increased, your Subscription Fee will not decrease, even if there is a subsequent reduction in the number of Marketing Contacts or emails sent.
Your Subscription Fee will not increase if you add Contacts which are not designated as Marketing Contacts by you in your account.
You can learn more about how your fees may be otherwise adjusted in the remainder of this 'Fees Adjustments' section below.
d. Fee Adjustments
(i) Contact Tiers.
Your Subscription Fee will increase immediately during the course of a Billing Period if you exceed your Maximum Contacts limit in a Billing Period. In this case, the Subscription Fee will increase up to the tier price which corresponds with the number of Marketing Contacts and your invoice will increase by the corresponding prorated amount for the remainder of Subscription Term. Tier prices for Marketing Contacts Products are as set out in the Products and Services Catalog. You will receive an electronic notification (as described in the Notices section of our General Terms) if you’re approaching your Marketing Contact tier limit.
You may manage your Marketing Contacts to avoid an increase in your Subscription Fee as set out in the ‘Managing Your Marketing Contacts’ section below.
(ii) Other Fee Adjustments.
For detail on renewal pricing, see the ‘Fees’ section of the General Terms. We may choose to decrease your fees upon written notice to you.
e. Managing Your Marketing Contacts
When you purchase a Marketing Contacts Product, you’ll have the opportunity to select which contacts you’d like to designate as Marketing Contacts, and which you want to designate as Non-Marketing Contacts. We also recommend reviewing the designation of your Contacts regularly to avoid an unintended Contact tier upgrade fee. All Users have permission to make Contact designations in your Makánal Tech account unless their right to do so is limited by you in the ‘Users and Teams’ settings.
If you’re switching from one of our Marketing Hub Products with legacy contacts pricing to one of our Marketing Contacts Products, all Contacts will be designated Marketing Contacts by default. We strongly recommend you complete the Eligibility Flow tool to designate your Non- Marketing Contacts before you switch to avoid an unintended Contact tier upgrade fee which will apply immediately and cannot be refunded.
We will monitor or audit remotely the number of Marketing Contacts in the Subscription Service and the number of emails that you send on the Subscription Service. This information is also made available to you in your Makánal Tech account.
You can change your Contacts from Non-Marketing to Marketing Contacts at any time. We allow you to designate Marketing Contacts as Non-Marketing’ Contacts at any time, but changes in designations to Non-Marketing will not take effect until the first day of the next month or on your subscription renewal date, whichever comes first.
f. Limits
For all Marketing Contacts Products and paid Add-Ons to those products, we may change the limits that apply to you at any time in our sole discretion by updating the Products and Services Catalog.
Please refer to the Products and Services Catalog and your Order Form for details of any additional limits that apply to your Marketing Contacts Product subscription.
g. Downgrades
For our Marketing Contacts Products, you may designate your contacts as Non-Marketing at any time (as described in the ‘Managing your Marketing Contacts’ section above), but you can only downgrade your contact tier at your next renewal date upon signature of a new Order Form. In order to avoid additional charges, you should purchase the appropriate tier of Subscription Service for your anticipated needs.
h. Modifications
We will not make changes to the Marketing Hub Professional – Marketing Contacts, Marketing Hub Enterprise – Marketing Contacts and paid Add-Ons to these products that materially reduce the functionality provided to you during the Subscription Term.
We may make changes to our Marketing Hub Starter – Marketing Contacts and Add-Ons to that Subscription Service that materially reduce the functionality provided to you during the Subscription Term.
i. Notice of Non-Renewal
Unless otherwise specified in your Order Form, to prevent renewal of your Marketing Hub with Marketing Contacts subscription or paid Add-Ons to Marketing Hub with Marketing Contacts, you or we must give written notice of non-renewal and this written notice must be received before the next renewal period begins.
j. Retrieval of Customer Data.
For Marketing Hub Professional - Marketing Contacts and for Marketing Hub Enterprise - Marketing Contacts, if you make a written request within thirty (30) days after termination or expiration of your subscription, we will provide you with temporary access to the Subscription Service to retrieve, or we will provide you with copies of, all Customer Data then in our possession or control. If we provide you with temporary access to the account, we may charge a re-activation fee. Thirty (30) days after termination or expiration of your Subscription, we will have no obligation to maintain or provide you the Customer Data. We will delete all Customer Data in our systems or otherwise in our control unless (i) we are legally prohibited or (ii) save as set out in the ‘Deletion or Return of Personal Data’ section of the DPA, then such Personal Data will be Processed in accordance with our DPA.

k. Legacy Marketing Hub Products
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the ‘Legacy’ section of the Makánal Tech General Terms, once you've purchased a Marketing Contacts Product, you cannot choose to re-purchase the Marketing Hub product with legacy contacts pricing, which bills differently for Contacts, even if it's still listed in our Products and Services Catalog.
If you use one of our other legacy Marketing Hub Subscription Services that is not listed in the Product Specific Terms, then the Legacy Marketing Hub terms apply to your subscription.
l. Brand Domains
In order to host multiple root domains associated with your company in a single Makánal Tech account, you must purchase a subscription to the Marketing Hub Enterprise - Marketing Contacts Subscription Service with the Brand Domain Subscription Service. A root domain is considered to be a different domain name that immediately precedes the top-level domain indicator. For example, www.makanal.eu and www.inbound.com are considered separate root domains, whereas www.makanal.eu and makanal.eu/support or www.makanal.eu/learn/insights are not considered separate root domains.

3. Commerce Hub
Customers can use Commerce Hub to create a payment experience with their buyers.
3.1. Commerce Hub Platform Fee and Payment.
Since Commerce Hub is related to payment processing, your payments for Commerce Hub are based on a per-transaction basis rather than a subscription basis. Therefore, Makánal Tech does not collect Subscription Fees for Commerce Hub, and Commerce Hub will not be included in an Order Form. Instead of the ‘Fees’ section of the General Terms, this section describes the terms related to a Platform Fee (defined below), which excludes any Subscription Fees.
As it relates to Commerce Hub, a “Payment Processor” is a separate entity not affiliated with Makánal Tech , which provides its own technical services and processing of payments to you. The current Payment Processor for Commerce Hub is Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”). For clarification, in each transaction enabled by Commerce Hub, Makánal Tech is not processing payments, and Stripe as Payment Processor provides those services directly to you.
If you choose to use Commerce Hub to create a payment experience, you agree to pay a use- based fee, as shown in the Product and Services Catalog, for each transaction processed with the Payment Processor (a “Platform Fee”) which will be collected from you by the Payment Processor. We reserve the right to change the Platform Fee at any time, and will provide you with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any increase to the Platform Fee which may be given by email, in your Makánal Tech Account, or through any other means we reasonably determine.
3.2. Stripe Payment Processing Integration Terms.

We may also disable your ability, or charge you a fee, to make calls to certain countries if we choose to, even if we generally offer calling to these countries.

7. Service Uptime Commitment
For the purposes of this 'Service Uptime Commitment' section, the following definitions will apply:
"Downtime" means a critical full outage/severe issue that constitutes a catastrophic problem causing complete inability to use the Subscription Service, excluding Free Services, across a significant portion of the production environment (e.g. crash or hang), resulting in production downtime and where there is no workaround or solution to the problem.
"Excluded" means the following: (i) unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, act of God, acts of government, emergencies, natural disasters, flood, fire, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving our employees), or any other force majeure event or factors; (ii) any problems resulting from Customer's combining or merging the Subscription Service with any hardware or software not supplied by us or not identified by us in writing as compatible with the Subscription Service; (iii) interruptions or delays in providing the Subscription Service resulting from telecommunications or internet service provider failures outside of our data center as measured by our third party website availability monitoring provider; (iv) any interruption or unavailability resulting from the misuse, improper use, alteration, or damage of the Subscription Service; and (v) unavailability while we perform maintenance on the Subscription Service when necessary, in Makánal Tech ’s sole, reasonable discretion.
"Service Uptime" means (total hours in calendar month - Excluded duration - Downtime duration) / (total hours in calendar month - Excluded duration ) x 100% = Service Uptime.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet a Service Uptime of 99.95% for our Subscription Service in a given calendar month. All availability calculations will be based on our system records. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, as Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for failure to meet Service Uptime commitments, in the event there are two (2) or more consecutive calendar months during which the Service Uptime falls below 99.95% in a given calendar month, Customer will be entitled to receive a credit equal to the pro- rated amount of fees applicable to the downtime as measured within two (2) or more consecutive calendar months during which the Service Uptime fell below 99.95%. The credit will be applied against an invoice or charge for the following renewal Subscription Term, provided Customer requests such credit within twenty (20) days of the end of the relevant calendar month in which Makánal Tech did not meet the Service Uptime of 99.95%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or this section, this 'Service Uptime Commitment' section does not apply to our Free Services.
