We will schedule a consultation with one of our service professionals to take place within one to two weeks to review the completed website. We will also send you multiple communications regarding the creation and set-up of your website, including a link to your completed website for review, and we ask that you provide any feedback or revisions within the requested timeframes.  However, if you are unable to review the materials or the completed website within the requested timeframes, we will launch your website so you can enjoy its benefits immediately, and any revisions can be made later after your review.
    2. Registration Information.During the set-up process, you will provide LOCALiQ with various information required to create your website. You acknowledge and agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about your business and agree to promptly update the information if any of it changes. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, or if LOCALiQ has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, LOCALiQ may suspend your website and/or LOCALiQ may terminate its obligations hereunder.
    3. If requested, LOCALiQ will provide an internet domain name for your website, subject to availability and your payment of any applicable registration fees. If your website uses a domain you provide, you will be solely responsible for maintaining your internet domain name, including all renewals and paying all applicable registration and maintenance fees. In addition, you represent and warrant that you own all rights to such domain name or, alternatively, that you have the right to use the domain name in connection with your website

LOCALiQ Properties and Third-Party Directories. LOCALiQ may create and post online, in the LOCALiQ Properties or the directories of third parties, profile page(s) for you, which may include the following information:  your name, phone number, email address, physical address, photos, videos, and information regarding your products or services and your business (the “Local Profile”).  You acknowledge that because of the nature of the Internet, your Local Profile may remain on the LOCALiQ Properties or third-party sites even after LOCALiQ is no longer providing Marketing Services to you.  Such Local Profiles may also utilize the Tracking Services.
    5. From time to time, LOCALiQ may make certain updates to your website, including, without limitation, adjustments to font, color, scheme, layout, forms, plugins and functionality, in order to attempt to optimize loading speeds and customer conversion, and you hereby consent to such updates.

  6. Privacy Matters.
    1. Privacy Policy. Each website must have a privacy policy that complies with applicable legal requirements.  You may provide your own privacy policy or we will provide a template privacy policy based on information that you provide to us. The privacy policy template provided by us will accurately explain the privacy implications of your LOCALiQ Marketing Services and assumes, among other things:
      1. you will not trade, rent or sell users’ personal information;
      2. you will not share users’ personal information with third-parties for marketing and promotional purposes;
      3. you will allow users to opt-out of receiving marketing and promotional communications from you by email, phone and/or automated unsubscribe technology;
      4. upon request, you will provide users information regarding what data you have about them, change/correct data about them, and/or delete data about them;
      5. you will not knowingly collect or use any personal information from children under the age of 13; and
      6. you will take reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect users’ personal information.
      7. In addition, the privacy policy must disclose all of the privacy implications of your site (including your use of data collected from the site).  Accordingly, if you elect to use the LOCALiQ template you must carefully review the standard privacy policy LOCALiQ provides you and confirm it is accurate and adequate for your specific intentions and uses. In particular, but without limitation, the standard privacy policy does not include an exhaustive list of elements that may be required by law or by service provider guidelines (by way of example only, the standard privacy policy does not contain elements that may be required regarding certain health care or financial information). The privacy policy template should NOT be construed as legal advice or used as a substitute for seeking professional legal advice. The drafters and providers of the template are not responsible for the use of the template or any information or absence of information in the template.  Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring that your privacy policy is adequate for your unique needs and that failure to do so may expose you and LOCALiQ to liability which you shall fully indemnify.
    2. Access to Information. You understand and acknowledge that LOCALiQ may, for purposes of quality assurance and campaign assessment, access the information that you store in, and messages that you send using, your website and/or lead conversion software. It is your obligation to advise LOCALiQ if you want such access to be limited and to determine whether your use of your website and the lead conversion software is in compliance with any privacy practices to which your business may be subject (such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and other similar laws).
    3. Disclosure of Information.In addition, you understand and acknowledge that we may disclose such of your information, including your contact and account information, to courts, law enforcement authorities and/or other relevant third parties, when such disclosure is necessary or advisable, at our sole discretion, to conduct an investigation, respond to a third party or law enforcement subpoena or court order, bring legal action or pursue other relief when you or a third party are or may be: (i) violating our terms and conditions of use; (ii) causing injury or other harm to, or otherwise violating our property or other legal rights, or those of other users or third parties; or (iii) violating federal, state, local, or other applicable law.
  7. Legal Requirements.You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for providing any disclaimers, notices or other content that you may be required to include on your website due to legal, licensing or other requirements specific to your profession, business, location or any other requirements. Similarly, if you are prohibited from making certain statements on your website due to legal, licensing or other requirements, it is your sole responsibility to inform LOCALiQ of such limitations and confirm your website is compliance in connection with each required approval. For example, if you are a lawyer and your provincial bar rules require you to include certain disclaimers on advertising materials, it is your responsibility to provide such disclaimers.
  8. Licenses
    1. Website Licenses.   The following sets forth your rights in your website:
      1.

Particular Licensed Images may be subject to additional restrictions or requirements, including disclaimers or attribution, or may require additional cost for sensitive uses that cast subjects in an unflattering manner (e.g. models in the context of medical, financial or other hardships) that will be communicated to you by LOCALiQ. You further acknowledge and agree that your rights in any Licensed Image are revocable, and LOCALiQ may withdraw such license(s) to any particular Licensed Image at any time, provided further, that so long as you continue to receive Managed Services, LOCALiQ shall endeavor to replace any Licensed Image with a similar Licensed Image at no additional cost.
    3. Platform License.For so long as you continue to receive Managed Services in connection with your website, you will be granted a revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, limited license to access LOCALiQ’s content management system that allows you to upload content and make limited adjustments and revisions to your website.  Without limiting any other disclaimers contained in the Agreement, LOCALiQ will in no way be responsible for any errors, defects or downtime caused by your use of the content management system. Your access shall be password protected and you agree that you may not share your password with third parties or otherwise provide access to the content management system to third parties.  If the security of your username(s) or password(s) is compromised in any way, or if you or one of your agents suspects that it may be, you shall immediately contact LOCALiQ. LOCALiQ is not responsible for any loss or damage suffered by the compromise of any password. You acknowledge and agree that you do not have, nor will you claim any right, title or interest in the content management system, software, data, applications, methods of doing business or any elements thereof, or, until your payment in full of any Website Fees, any content provided therein (including any templates provided). You may only access the content management system via a Web browser, a mobile application or in a manner otherwise approved by LOCALiQ. You will not attempt in any way to reverse engineer, alter, modify, eliminate, conceal, or otherwise render inoperable or ineffective the content management system. LOCALiQ may terminate the foregoing license, at any time and for any reason.

You will not (and will not allow any third party to) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse assemble, or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, or sell, assign, sublicense, grant a security interest in, or otherwise transfer any right in any LOCALiQ Materials or LOCALiQ Marks.
    2. Infringing Content.LOCALiQ will promptly notify you if the use of any LOCALiQ Materials infringes or could infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.  In such event, LOCALiQ will remove such LOCALiQ Materials from your website and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide replacement content. You agree not to use any such LOCALiQ Materials after notice of such infringement or potential infringement.
  10. Your Content and Data.
    1. Content. As between you and LOCALiQ, you own all of the content, including any text, images, logos, trademarks, service marks, promotional materials, product or service information, comments, reviews, photos, audio and video clips and other information, that you provide to LOCALiQ for inclusion in your website or that you directly (or indirectly via website visitors) add, post or share via your website (referred to as “Client Content”).  You hereby grant LOCALiQ and its affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, license to use, reproduce, display, perform, adapt, modify, distribute, make derivative works of and otherwise exploit your Client Content in connection with your LOCALiQ website.  LOCALiQ may use your Client Content to the extent it is (or has been) accessible on your website to advertise and promote LOCALiQ’s website offering and may list and otherwise refer to you and your business as users of the service.  LOCALiQ’s license to your Client Content is non-exclusive, meaning you may use your Client Content for your own purposes or let others use your Client Content for their purposes.  LOCALiQ’s license to your Client Content is fully-paid and royalty free, meaning LOCALiQ does not owe you or any third party anything else in connection with LOCALiQ’s use of the Client Content.  LOCALiQ may exercise its rights anywhere in the world.
    2. Representations. You are legally responsible for your Client Content and LOCALiQ is in no way responsible for it. You represent and warrant that:
      1. you own all rights to Client Content or, alternatively, you have the unrestricted right to give LOCALiQ the rights described above, including the right to display the Client Content on your website;
      2. you have paid and will pay in full any fees or other payments that may be related to the use of the Client Content; and
      3. the Client Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, moral rights or other legal rights of any third party.
    3. Other. LOCALiQ may, but has no obligation to, monitor the Client Content or Customer Data on your website or stored in the content management system.  We may disclose any information necessary or appropriate to satisfy our legal obligations, protect LOCALiQ or its customers, or operate the Marketing Services properly.  LOCALiQ, in its sole discretion, may refuse to post, remove, or require you to remove, any Client Content or Customer Data, in whole or in part, alleged to be unacceptable, undesirable, inappropriate, or in violation of this Agreement.  LOCALiQ may, in its discretion, also require you to place all or any portion of the Client Content behind password protection.  If LOCALiQ has requested Client Content be placed or has placed Client Content behind password protection, you may not publish the password or similar information in any way that limits the effectiveness of the password.  If LOCALiQ requests that you place any Client Content behind password protection and you fail to do so promptly, LOCALiQ may place such Client Content behind password protection itself, or immediately terminate this Agreement.
  11. Third-Party Sites. Depending on the services you purchase and your individual circumstances, you may give LOCALiQ access, including by providing login and password information, to certain third-party accounts and services such as Google+, directories, and Google Analytics, to allow LOCALiQ to use and or modify those sites on your behalf. When you give LOCALiQ access to a third-party site, or request that LOCALiQ establishes an account with a third-party site, you agree that you have read all contracts and written agreements governing such access, login information and passwords and that you have all the necessary contractual and legal rights to give LOCALiQ such access, login information and passwords. In addition, you are authorizing LOCALiQ to use the functionality of such third-party site on your behalf, in any manner LOCALiQ sees fit. LOCALiQ will take actions such as registering you with such third-party site and managing and accessing your account and information (including listing and profile information) on such third-party site. Because of the interconnected nature of the internet, your information posted to third-party sites may be difficult to remove. For example, even if your information is removed from or updated on a third-party site, it may persist on other websites (including other websites) or may be cached in search engine indexes.
  12.  Transition Assistance. Unless your website service is terminated because of your breach of this Agreement, upon termination of your Website Managed Services, and for a period of 30 days thereafter (the “Transition Period”), LOCALiQ will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you transition assistance, including:
    • transferring ownership of any domain that LOCALiQ may have obtained on your behalf;
    • working with you to enable you to have continued access to your presence on third-party sites (for example, by providing you with instructions on how to transfer the accounts; provided, LOCALiQ will not provide or transfer to you any LOCALiQ-hosted e-mail addresses or passwords);
    • providing a disk or other method to transfer you the Custom Content; and
    • providing such other assistance as LOCALiQ may choose to provide in LOCALiQ’s sole discretion.
    • After the Transition Period, LOCALiQ will have no further obligation to provide you assistance, and LOCALiQ shall have the right, but not the obligation, to delete all of your Client Content.  You acknowledge and agree, however, that LOCALiQ is under no obligation to remove any content that has been disseminated to third-party sites. After the Transition Period, LOCALiQ will not be able to transition your site back onto to the content management if you wish to do so in the future.
  13. Communications. In purchasing a website, you agree to receive communications from time to time from LOCALiQ via email or text message. You may stop receiving these alerts by modifying your notification settings from within your account in the content management system. You acknowledge and agree that we may send a response email or text message solely to confirm your change in settings.
  14. Comments and Feedback.  Any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback, or other information provided by you to LOCALiQ are not confidential and you hereby grant LOCALiQ a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to reproduce, display, perform, distribute, publish, modify, edit or otherwise use such information as we deem appropriate, for any and all commercial and/or non-commercial purposes, in our sole discretion.
  15. Indemnification. In addition to the indemnification obligations set forth in the Marketing Services Terms, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LOCALiQ and its third-party affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, fees of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), arising from or relating to: (a) any Client Content; (b) the Custom Content (except relating to copyright infringement), provided that it has been approved by you; and (c) violation of the terms and conditions of any third-party site by you or anyone using your account.
  16. IN ADDITION TO THE DISCLAIMERS SET FORTH IN THE MARKETING SERVICES TERMS, LOCALIQ (I) MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED TO YOU BY OR ON BEHALF OF LOCALIQ (INCLUDING ANY REPORTING, ANALYTICS AND SIMILAR INFORMATION) OR ANY CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH YOUR WEBSITE (INCLUDING ANY CONTENT SUBMITTED BY AN END-USER); AND (II) CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE SPECIFIC PLACEMENT FOR ANY SPECIFIC KEYWORDS OR KEY PHRASES, NOR THE EFFECT OF THE REACHSEO SERVICES ON SEARCH ENGINE PLACEMENT GENERALLY.
