Terms of Agreement
About Amplitude Research®.
Amplitude Research, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("Amplitude"), has the right to sell to third parties, various products and services for web-based surveys. Amplitude conducts and hosts surveys, provides sample for surveys, and maintains Internet websites located at www.amplituderesearch.com, www.ampupnow.com, www.ampupnow.com/consumer, www.panelspeak.com and elsewhere (collectively the "Site").
Eligibility for Survey Participation.
Membership is free. All registrants are required to be U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older (if the age of majority in your jurisdiction is different than 18, you must be the age of majority within your jurisdiction). Anyone registering and using the Site warrants that he/she meets this requirement. Employees, officers, and directors of Amplitude and its affiliates are ineligible to participate in surveys, as are immediate family members and persons living in the same household of the foregoing. Awards are void where prohibited.
Each person is limited to one (1) registration. If a Registrant commits fraud or falsifies information in connection with his/her registration, that person will be liable to Amplitude for any and all damages that Amplitude suffers as a result of such actions, and Amplitude will not hesitate to pursue all legal causes of action to the fullest extent possible.
Survey Participation.
Surveys are conducted for the benefit of Amplitude and its clients who have requested market research on a particular subject. Registrants will be invited to participate in a study based on the demographic or other survey criteria ("screening criteria") for that study and the number of requested survey completions. Not all Registrants will be invited to participate in each study. Since invitations are distributed based on self-provided demographic information, It is important that each Registrant provides accurate information and updates such information on a regular basis.
Registrants will always receive a separate e-mail invitation for each survey they are selected to participate in that describes the overall purpose of that survey, the awards available for completing the survey, and a link to the website to take the survey. By clicking on the link, the Registrant agrees to participate in the survey for which he/she received the email invitation and confirms his/her prior registration and opts-in to participate in the survey. The respondent will then be asked one or more questions to ensure that he/she meets the screening criteria for that study, including any requirements for a representative population of respondents. The screening criteria questions will vary by survey and are limited in number. Unless a survey has achieved the target number of completes or otherwise been closed in its entirety or for a specific demographic group, those respondents who have qualified based on their answers to the screening criteria will be directed to complete the survey questions. Note: Amplitude may use re-screeners and/or timers on a survey questionnaire to determine the reliability of respondent feedback. Amplitude reserves the right to remove a Registrant from survey participation at any time and for any reason, including eligibility for awards or other incentives, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Registrant is providing false or contradictory information or answering survey questions without allowing adequate time to read the questions and response choices.
Awards/Incentives.
Registrants who qualified under the screening criteria and complete a survey by answering all of the questions by the announced completion date are eligible to participate in the awards for that survey. Our surveys generally provide a $2.00 Target GiftCard (delivered by mail to be used at Target stores or at Target.com), or other gift card selected at Amplitude's discretion, to EACH respondent who completes the survey. Longer surveys may offer a larger award, as determined by Amplitude in its sole discretion. The form and amount of award may fluctuate among surveys depending on the selections made by Amplitude or its clients, and are described in each survey invitation. Amplitude does not compensate members for answering screening criteria questions, or for partially completed survey responses. Amplitude reserves the right to close a survey at any time.
Award winners are selected within 30 days after the end of the survey, with award distributions taking place within 15 days of selection. All decisions are final and binding. Target Stores GiftCards are distributed by regular mail. Amplitude is not responsible if a Registrant provides inaccurate or incomplete sign-up information (such as email address or mailing information) and does not receive a gift award.
Each Registrant must enter valid name, email address, and mailing address information to insure receipt of awards distributions. Incorrect name or mailing address information will prevent receipt of mailed awards. Amplitude is under no obligation to re-send emailed or mailed awards to Registrants who provide incorrect email, name or mailing information. Registrants are responsible for any taxes due as a result of awards they receive. Amplitude reserves the right to alter the awards/incentives program or to cancel this program at any time. In the event of such change or cancellation, any awards owed at the time of the change or cancellation would be provided.
Privacy/Security.
At registration, each Registrant provides us with certain personal information such as their name, e-mail address, zip code and certain demographic and other information so that we can match their survey participation with different types of surveys. Registration information is available to Amplitude for use in future surveys conducted for Amplitude clients or for its own studies. Amplitude will not sell, distribute, publish or otherwise disclose any personally identifiable information without the express permission of the Registrant. Surveys are generally conducted by Amplitude on its own platform. If surveys are conducted on a different platform - such as the platform of another research organization - we will notify you in the survey invitation. In no event, however, will Amplitude divulge your personally identifiable information to that organization, although we may need to share AGGREGATE demographic information. Amplitude also reserves the right to transfer personally identifiable information to a buyer in connection with a sale of stock or assets, merger, or any other change of control transaction. Any future buyer would be required to honor Amplitude's privacy policy.

This includes, but is not limited to, the unauthorized use or access of any third party to the Site, server, database, e-mail programs, software or services, and the unauthorized alteration or interception of any transmission or data. If Amplitude wishes to change its privacy policy, it will publish changes on this website and/or notify Registrants of changes via e-mail.
