Terms of service

Who these terms are with

Pressmerit is a trading name of Miraspaces OÜ, a private limited company incorporated in Estonia on 11 November 2024 and entered in the Estonian Commercial Register (Äriregister), kept by the Registration Department of Tartu County Court, under registry code 17111689. Its registered address is Katusepapi tn 6-502, Lasnamäe linnaosa, Tallinn, Harju maakond, 11412, Estonia, and the register entry is public at ariregister.rik.ee. Miraspaces OÜ is not currently registered for VAT in Estonia, so no VAT identification number is stated.

Where these terms refer to "we" or "us", they mean Miraspaces OÜ. Where they refer to the service, they mean the Pressmerit web application, its APIs, and the website at pressmerit.com.

What the service is

Pressmerit is a digital-PR and partnership collaboration platform. It helps a subscriber find sites relevant to what they publish, verify a work contact, prepare a request, and, when the receiving side agrees, verify that the resulting placement stays live afterwards.

What it is not: a marketplace, a stock of pre-agreed placements, an advertising network, or a party to whatever two sides agree between themselves. Subscribers pay for platform actions at the prices published on the pricing page, and we take no share of anything arranged between a subscriber and a publisher.

The receiving side is free. Reading a request, discussing it, accepting it and declining it cost a publisher nothing, and declining needs no account at all.

Accounts, subscriptions and credits

One plan, charged monthly in advance, which includes a monthly allowance of usage credits and a number of website slots. Current prices, the per-action credit prices and the top-up packs are on the pricing page and form part of these terms.

Included credits belong to the billing cycle: they are granted at renewal, they do not roll over, and unused credits lapse at the end of the cycle. Credits bought as a top-up are separate and remain usable for twelve months from purchase. Spending draws on the included allowance first.

There is no free trial. A subscription renews automatically until cancelled. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the paid cycle, access continues until then, and top-up credits remain usable to the same point.

If a renewal payment fails, we retry on a defined schedule and the account keeps full access during that window. If payment has not succeeded by the end of it, the account becomes read-only: monitoring of placements already confirmed continues for 30 days, top-up credits are frozen rather than lost and are restored on reactivation, and account data is retained for 180 days before deletion.

Refunds are not automatic. A credit charged for a contact that proves undeliverable is credited back, and an outreach request that finds no contact at all is released before it is ever charged. Anything else is reviewed individually; write to hello@pressmerit.com.

Prices can change. Changes are announced at least 30 days before they take effect and apply from the next renewal, so that cancelling before then is always an option.

You are the sender, and what that means

Outreach prepared on the platform leaves your own mailbox. We generate the draft, verify the contact and provide the link the recipient opens; you decide whether to send, and you send it. That division is deliberate and it has consequences you take on.

• You are the sender for the purposes of marketing and electronic-communications law, including the rules that apply where the recipient is. You identify yourself accurately, you honour an opt-out, and you keep the disclosure and opt-out line the generated copy carries.
• Some jurisdictions require prior consent for unsolicited business email. Where the platform can tell, it warns you before revealing a contact there and its automation skips those sites by default. The warning is information; the decision and the liability are yours.
• You do not edit the generated message into something misleading, and you do not remove the disclosure footer.
• We cannot see whether a message was delivered, opened or answered, because we do not send it. No delivery statistic, bounce record or open rate exists on our side, and none is promised.

Acceptable use

These rules are the reason a platform like this can exist without becoming a nuisance to the open web. They are conditions of use rather than guidance.

• No bulk harvesting. A contact disclosed to you is for contacting that site about that collaboration. Exporting disclosed contacts into a separate list, reselling them, or feeding them into an unrelated campaign is prohibited and ends the account.
• No deceptive outreach. No impersonation, no false claims about who you are or what you are offering, no misleading subject lines, and no implying that a message comes from Pressmerit rather than from you.
• No contacting an address on the do-not-contact list, and no attempt to route around a suppression.
• No automated re-sending to a publisher who has declined, and no use of the platform to contact the same site outside the cooldowns it enforces.
• No offers of payment in exchange for a followed link, and no arrangement that would make a placement an undisclosed advertisement. What two parties agree is theirs to agree, but the platform is not a channel for it and copy suggesting otherwise is removed.
• No scraping the platform, no automated access outside a documented interface, and no attempt to circumvent the reveal caps or rate limits.
• No unlawful, infringing or deliberately harmful use, and no use on behalf of a site whose content is unlawful.

Enforcement

Where we believe a rule above has been broken we contact the account holder first and describe what we saw, unless the breach is causing active harm to third parties, in which case we suspend first and explain immediately afterwards.

Suspension pauses outreach and contact disclosure. It does not delete data and does not stop monitoring of placements already live. An account holder can respond, and where the explanation resolves the matter the suspension is lifted and any credits held during it are released.

Termination for a serious or repeated breach ends access without refund of the current cycle. Bulk harvesting, deceptive outreach and circumventing suppression are each treated as serious on the first occurrence.

Link attributes and editorial control

Whether a link carries rel="sponsored", rel="nofollow" or no attribute at all is decided between the publisher and the requester. The agreement records what was chosen so that verification can check the page against it. We neither require a particular value nor treat one as better than another.

Editorial control stays with the publisher. Nothing is ever published from a publisher’s site by us: they publish, and verification is a fetch of the public page afterwards, the way any crawler would read it. An anchor an editor rewrote to fit house style is recorded as a warning on the request, not as a breach of anything.

Our crawler identifies itself and its behaviour is documented at pressmerit.com/bot. It fetches a page once per check and never in a burst.

What we do not promise

No guarantee of a placement, a reply, a ranking or traffic. Publishers decide for themselves and search engines rank for their own reasons.

Figures shown in the product, including traffic estimates, Domain Score and match ratings, are estimates derived from public and licensed data. They are labelled as estimates and are not warranted to be accurate. Decisions taken on them are yours.

The service is provided as is and as available. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error free, and we do not commit to a service level unless one is agreed in writing.

Intellectual property

The platform, its software, its interface and its documentation are ours and stay ours. Nothing in these terms transfers them, and access to the service is a licence to use it rather than an assignment of anything.

What you put in stays yours: your sites, your target pages, your keywords, your edits to a draft, and anything you write in a request. You grant us the licence needed to run the service on your behalf, which extends no further than that.

A draft message the platform generates is yours to use, edit or discard. Once you edit it, the text is yours in every sense, and the responsibility for what it says is yours with it.

Liability

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for a breach of the GDPR where mandatory rules apply.

Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost profits, revenue, goodwill or anticipated savings, for lost or corrupted data where you have not kept your own copy, or for the acts of a publisher or of any third party.

Subject to the same, our total liability arising in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees you paid us in that period.

You indemnify us against claims arising from your use of the service in breach of these terms, and in particular from messages you sent.

Term, changes and the rest

These terms run for as long as you hold an account. Either side may end the relationship: you by cancelling, us by giving 30 days’ notice, or immediately in the case of a serious breach as described above.

We may change these terms. Material changes are notified to account holders by email at least 30 days before they take effect, and continuing to use the service after that date is acceptance. If you do not accept a change, cancel before it takes effect and the current terms govern the remainder of your paid cycle.

If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest stands. Failing to enforce a right on one occasion does not waive it. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them to a successor to the business, on notice.

Governing law and disputes

Pressmerit is provided from an establishment in Estonia, and Estonian law governs the service and these documents. That follows the country-of-origin principle in Article 3 of Directive 2000/31/EC on electronic commerce, transposed in Estonia by § 3(1) of the Infoühiskonna teenuse seadus. Two areas sit outside that principle and are unaffected by it: consumer contracts, where the mandatory rules of your country of residence continue to protect you, and data protection, where the GDPR applies directly across the Union.

Disputes arising from these terms fall to the courts of Estonia, and Harju County Court is the court of first instance. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence, nor of the right to bring proceedings there.

A consumer in the European Union can also use the European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform. We would rather resolve a dispute directly, and hello@pressmerit.com reaches a person.
