It is Your own responsibility to stay informed of any update of the Terms each time You use the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes have been made in the Terms means that You accept and agree to those changes.

The Services enable Users to ask for and provide feedback. Users can invite people to a panel where the User is able to run activities with them as they become Users themselves. The User can also create external digital forms or “touchpoints” to be used in places outside Panelista, including but not limited to, by being embedded on other websites, and linked to from mobile apps, emails and QR-codes, where people can answer questions or supply other information without being a User themselves. Each User agrees that the User who creates a panel or a touchpoint accrues all rights to content posted on such panel or via such touchpoint, and that such User may freely dispose of the content in whichever way it wishes, without regard to copyright or any other right of the User who posted in the panel or the person who interacted via the touchpoint. Both the User who created the panel or touchpoint, and the one who publishes content are responsible for what’s published. All Users therefore agrees to make sure that no prohibited content (like spam, viruses, or serious threats of violence) appears in panels or via touchpoints.
Propel uses a third party analytics solution Plausible, to measure the Services’ audience and usage. By hosting Your panel or touchpoint through the Services, You agree to Propel doing so.
Propel reserves the right to display attribution text or links in Your panel or touchpoint footer or toolbar, attributing Panelista or Propel, for example. Some of these attributions may not be altered or removed.
