2. Website Logistics.

  • Set-Up.  Immediately upon purchase of a ReachSite, we will begin writing custom content for your website based on your business, products/services and goals for the website (the “Custom Content”), and designing your website based on the theme you select. We will schedule a consultation with one of our service professionals to take place after your purchase of a ReachSite 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 deliver to you the website so you can enjoy its benefits immediately, and any revisions can be made later after your review.

  • 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  If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, or if LocaliQ has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, LocaliQ may terminate its obligations hereunder without any requirement or obligation to refund to you any amounts you may have paid LocaliQ.
  • Domains.  If you elect to use your own pre-purchased domain name, you are solely responsible for maintaining the 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. If you do not have an existing domain, we can also purchase a new domain name on your behalf, which will be included in the ongoing cycle fees. Upon cancellation, responsibility for any domain name and cost will be borne by the client unless otherwise advised.
  • Site access. In the case updates are made to the site by you or a third party that you elect, causing issue(s) resulting in necessary fixes or patches, you agree to pay the costs associated with rectifying the issue(s).

 

3. Fees.

  • Description of Fees.  You agree to pay the fees set forth on the Order Form.
  • Timing of Payment.  You will pay all amounts in advance of LocaliQ delivering the ReachSite website. 
  • The website is sold with a minimum 12 cycle subscription period (each cycle being 30 days (+/- 1 to 2 days) duration). 
  • Upon expiration of the initial 12 cycle minimum period, the subscription shall automatically renew for 1 cycle periods, unless terminated at least 30 days in advance of the next cycle starting. 
  • In the case of non-payment of the cycle fee (or cancellation) within the 12 cycle subscription period, you agree to pay the balance of fees owing for the subscription period (Cancellation Fee). If fees owing remain unpaid for a period of 30 days after they were due, LocaliQ may remove the site from the hosting provider. 
  • Site files shall not be transferred to the client until any balances owing are paid in full. 

You understand and acknowledge that all amounts owed must be paid in advance and that, in addition to being in breach of your contractual obligations, your ReachSite website will not be delivered if full payment is not made.  

 

4. Privacy Matters.

  • Privacy Policy. We recommend that each ReachSite website have a privacy policy that complies with applicable legal requirements.  You may provide your own privacy policy or we may provide a template privacy policy for you to use as a guide only.
     
  • If you elect to use the LocaliQ template, you must carefully review 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.
  • 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.

 

5. 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 bar rules require you to include certain disclaimers on advertising materials, it is your responsibility to provide such disclaimers.
