I've left it there as I'd like people who consider accepting this offer to
think about whether the T&Cs are to their likeing.
They may be.

____________________________________
You may wonder if the Penton T&C I mentioned are just excessively verbose
lawyerese and they don't overly mean it. After all, who would really be
like that.
As a guide to a possible answer, here's something from another Penton site.
I did some looking around at who Penton are and what they do.
They do all sorts.
Nancy Friedrich, the content Director for Penton for the Electronic Design
site, is Editor in Chief of "Microwaves & RF".
The M&RF front page prominently features an offer for ZOOMINFO GROW.
I agree to the Terms of Service

Policy <http://www.zoominfo.com/business/about-zoominfo/privacy-center>. I
understand that I will receive a subscription to ZoomInfo Grow at no charge
in exchange for downloading and installing the ZoomInfo Contact Contributor
utility which, among other features, i*nvolves sharing my business contacts
as well as headers and signature blocks from emails that I receive.*

associated T&C it says
