NQ Terms And Conditions
These additional Terms of Service are included on the date the proposal is signed off on, (the “Effective Date”) by and between Local Loyalty Marketing Solutions NC, LLC. d/b/a LeadsNearby (hereafter “LNB”) and “Client”. Please print and retain for your records.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES, AGREEMENT ACCEPTANCE, WORK PRODUCT OWNERSHIP and PAYMENT FOR SERVICES are set forth and agreed upon in the Marketing Proposal signed by Client, which is fully incorporated herein by reference.
INITIAL TERM. The initial term of this agreement is either 1 year, 2 years or 3 years, as chosen by the Client; and is based on the Effective date of the proposal signing.
AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. This agreement shall automatically be renewed for additional successive terms equal to the Initial term unless either Client or LNB gives the other written notice of termination in accordance with the termination section at least thirty-days prior to the expiration of that current and relevant term. The Client and LNB may engage in renewal negotiation as each party deems appropriate, including negotiated conversion to a month-to-month agreement.
TERMINATION. The Client shall have the right to cancel this agreement after the initial or renewal term(s) given thirty-days written notice prior to end of initial or renewal term. Written requests may be emailed to info@leadsnearby.com, faxed to 919-747-4204 or mailed (certified or registered) to 130 Edinburgh S Drive, #202, Cary, NC 27511. LNB reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to honor a request by Client to terminate this agreement at any time with a thirty-day (30) written notice. LNB also reserves the right to terminate this contract at any time with a thirty (30) day written notice. No verbal requests to terminate this agreement will be honored.
REMEDIES. A one-time cancellation fee, regardless of term or contract length, not to exceed $1,500 (one thousand five hundred dollars) and applies to all subsequent remedies. This fee may be forgiven or reduced at the sole discretion of LeadsNearby.
Cancelation Within Initial or Subsequent Term: If the Client requests to cancel the agreement during the initial or renewal term and LNB agrees to allow it, all remaining payments due for current remaining agreement term will be considered due. Any payments made and collected will be considered fully earned without a refund. If LNB cancels the agreement any monies paid for services not yet rendered to the Client shall be returned to the Client. If the Client fails to pay for more than 90 days, LNB may consider the Client’s program terminated and cease all services without additional notice. The client agrees to pay the outstanding balance before the Client program will be restarted.
Temporary Business Closure (Program Forbearance status): LeadsNearby may honor requests for temporary marketing program payment pausing caused by Government-mandated (local, state, or Federal) shut down regardless of whether in the initial term or renewal term.
If any request is made by the Client to pause, suspend, or otherwise cease work due to a temporary business closure caused by natural events, pandemics, or extenuating circumstances LeadsNearby may at its sole discretion: verify the request, will add a statement to the client’s website denoting the temporary closure, will forgive all payments owed during the time of the closure until such time the Client is ready to being work, will schedule a call 3 months from the date of the request to gauge the current market (or earlier if circumstances warrant) and to make plans to reopen, and will change all user names and passwords to the website. The Clients’ responsibility during this time is to denote the temporary closure on their primary and all applicable Google My Business location pages.
Temporary business closures will extend the agreement length with LeadsNearby by an amount of time equal to twice the length of the closure. During the temporary closure period, your agreement is in Forbearance (deferred) status, and once resumed, your original monthly agreement will be in effect and guaranteed payable to LeadsNearby.
If your business does not resume work after the temporary closure period (deferral), then the terms of “Business Closure” will apply. Should you decide to move marketing services during the Forbearance (deferred) period, an amount equal to the monthly agreement for the full remaining agreement (original plus closure extension) will be due in order to process your release.
Example: Client A, who is paying $500 per month, closes temporarily for 3 months due to the local government mandate (with 6 months remaining on their original agreement). LeadsNearby will suspend all payments due until the local Government lifts the mandate. At that time Client A’s program with LeadsNearby is extended for a 6 month period (for a new total of 12 months remaining = 6 months of the original agreement plus 6 months due to closure extension). Should Client A select a new marketing firm during this 6 month temporary closure period the entire amount of the original plus extended agreement (12 months in this example) becomes due (minus any partial payments made within the 6 deferred months).
Business Slowdown Reduction (Program Maintenance-only status): A client may invoke this clause if experiencing a slowdown in business (including but not limited seasonal fluctuations in demand, natural disasters, pandemics, etc…).
The following agreement provisions apply if this clause is requested (invoked) by the Client: A member of the LeadsNearby executive team will review and analyze all current data and must speak with the Client, LeadsNearby will lower the Clients’ payment by up to 75% of the contracted monthly rate (the amount to be negotiated in good faith by but ultimately at the sole discretion of LeadsNearby), LeadsNearby will maintain all current services to the fullest extent possible however all client logins will be suspended unless otherwise agreed to. LeadsNearby will also schedule a minimum bi-weekly call with the Client to review current market data, weather trends (if applicable), sales lead flow, and call volume (collectively referred to as Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
Business slowdown reductions will extend the agreement length with LeadsNearby by an amount of time equal to twice the length of the program reduction. During the business slowdown reduction period, your agreement is in maintenance-only status, and once resumed, your original monthly agreement will be in effect and guaranteed payable to LeadsNearby with an agreement term equal to the original remaining period plus the extension period). The program will return to normal status due to one of these conditions; the Client may request resumption at any time, the KPI’s may demonstrate a return to normal levels or a predefined date of up to 3 months from the original request.
If your business does not resume work after the temporary closure period (deferral), then the terms of “Business Closure” will apply. Should you decide to move marketing services during the Forbearance (deferred) period, an amount equal to the monthly agreement for the full remaining agreement (original plus closure extension) will be due in order to process your release.
Example: Client B slows down during the typical shoulder season and asks LeadsNearby for a temporary program reduction to preserve cashflow (with 4 months remaining on their original agreement). LeadsNearby agrees to lower the monthly rate to 50% for Client B during this time while still providing all contracted services at a maintenance-only level. In 3 months Client B sees business opportunities increase to a normal level. At that time Client B’s program with LeadsNearby returns to normal monthly agreement with an extension of a 6 month period (for a new total of 10 months remaining = 4 months of the original agreement plus 6 months due to program reduction). Should Client B select a new marketing firm during this 3-month program reduction period the entire amount of the original plus extended agreement (10 months in this example) becomes due (minus any partial payments made within the 3 reduced months).
Business Closure Any business that is closing permanently will still require a 30 day written notice. Upon notification, all client log-ins will be suspended immediately unless otherwise agreed to by a member of the LeadsNearby executive team.
Transitioning Business (Due to Merger or Acquisition): Any business that is being sold or acquired will require a 30 day written notice and payment will immediately become due for all remaining amounts of the original or renewal agreement term. Upon notification, all client log-ins will be suspended immediately unless otherwise agreed to by a member of the LeadsNearby executive team.
Correction of Changes Made through Client access: A client may request access to their website or other platforms at any time. Once provided with access capable of performing edits, the client agrees to take full responsibility for the actions performed through such access (whether done by the client or a third party acting on their behalf using the client’s access).
Client agrees to hold LeadsNearby harmless and fully indemnify if that access is used to violate copyright/trademark or other applicable intellectual property agreements. Further, Client agrees that if LeadsNearby is required to make corrections or modifications the Client agrees to pay $150/hour for documented corrective actions. These corrections may be to any platform Client has been granted access and may take the form of written content, multimedia content, technical changes or other as necessary to return platform and systems to working conditions.
