Review Engine Terms of Service
Review-Engine.com (including all related applications, dashboards, subdomains, and connected platforms—individually and collectively, the “Website”) and the Review Engine software and services (together with the Website, the “Service(s)”) are owned and operated by Tiny Mammoth, Inc. (“Review Engine,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using, installing, or accessing the Website or Services—or by signing or clicking to accept these Terms or any Subscription Documentation (as defined below) referencing these Terms—you agree to be bound by this Agreement (these “Terms” or this “Agreement”).
If you are using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then “Client” or “you” means that entity, and you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.
This Agreement includes and incorporates by reference any Subscription Documentation executed between you and Review Engine, as well as any policies or exhibits linked to or referenced herein. If you have a separate written agreement with Review Engine covering specific Services, that agreement will control to the extent of any conflict. We may modify these Terms as described in the Changes section of our legal center.

From time to time, Client may enter into a proposal, quote, order form, statement of work, or online registration (each, “Subscription Documentation”) referencing these Terms that describes the Services purchased and the applicable Scope of Use (e.g., usage limits, location counts, user seats, feature tiers, messaging volumes, and similar parameters).

We have no obligation to provide any service not expressly set forth in these Terms or the applicable Subscription Documentation.

If a modification we make materially reduces the core functionality of Services you have already purchased under current Subscription Documentation, you may terminate the affected Services and receive a pro-rated refund of pre-paid, unused fees for the remaining Subscription Term for those Services.
2.4 Additional Terms. Certain Services or features may be subject to additional terms, policies, rules, or guidelines (“Additional Terms”). Additional Terms are incorporated by reference into these Terms. Without limitation:
