TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INTERNET ADVERTISING

 Scope. This is a contract (referred to herein as this "Agreement") between Directory52 LLC (hereinafter referred to as "us", "we" and "our") and the customer ("you" and "your") identified on the first page of this document (the "Order") for us to fulfill your order for our Advertising Products identified on the Order. This Agreement consists of the Order and these Terms and Conditions for Internet Advertising, (these "Ts&Cs").

 Term. The term of this Agreement is either for three months, six months, nine months, or twelve months. Unless otherwise noted, the initial Term of this AO shall begin seven days after contract signature input (implied, written, verbal or recorded) and will continue through 30, 182 or 365 days. Unless otherwise provided in the Order and except as provided below in these Ts&Cs, upon expiration of the Initial Term. No such advertising will automatically renew, however requests can be made to extend a contract and submit charges as previously contracted. Renewal requests can be made at anytime (either in writing or by electronic signature, including recorded oral acceptance presented by us) during the last 15 days of contract.

All renewal orders will be subject to a rate lock protection that original contracted rate will never increase for products previously ordered for the life of the relationship between business owner and online publisher unless some form of the contract has  been breached. Services provided during the next term will be subject to the then-current Terms and Conditions for Internet Advertising available on our Websites and Products. Neither of us may terminate this Agreement during the Initial Term, provided that we may terminate this Agreement at any time upon notice to you if you breach this Agreement. If you choose to have your Advertising Products removed from any site and/or our services discontinued prior to the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, you shall notify us in writing and the pre paid amount left on the contract will be placed in a reserve account for future advertising purchase. There will be no returning of funds to advertisers for canceling pre-paid advertising items.

 Advertising Content and Intellectual Property Rights. You represent that you have sole responsibility for the content of your Advertising and warrant that: (1) you are a business and not a consumer; (2) you are authorized and prepared to sell all products and/or services in your Advertising; (3) you have the right to use all trademarks, service marks, names, information, artwork and likenesses in your Advertising; (4) you are the author of all images, text and other works of authorship to be reproduced or otherwise published in your Advertising and have the sole responsibility to register and protect the same, or you are authorized by the author of all images, text, and other works of authorship to reproduce, to prepare derivative works of, and to distribute copies of such works of authorship in your Advertising, and in turn hereby authorize us to do the same; (5) your Advertising and the publication of your Advertising will not infringe any trademark, copyright, right to publicity, right of privacy or other intellectual property right of a third party, nor will it constitute false, deceptive or unfair Advertising or disparagement under applicable law; (6) your Advertising complies with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, including without limitation licensing requirements, contest rules and administrative and professional rules and regulations; and (7) any prices, discounts or product availability quoted in your Advertising shall be complete, accurate and applicable throughout its advertised duration.

You agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in accepting and fulfilling orders, to honor any special offers, prices or discounts contained in your Advertising and to assume sole responsibility for conducting any contest or drawing in connection with your Advertising. Without limiting any of our other rights or remedies, you agree to notify us immediately in writing at any time that you discover or suspect that any of these representations is not true and correct in all respects. The transmission of any unsolicited commercial e-mail messages through our services is strictly prohibited without the prior consent of the recipient. You acknowledge that neither we nor the Distribution Sites generate the content upon a site where your Advertising Product may be fulfilled and that neither we nor the Distribution Sites are responsible for such content. If we receive notice or documentation demonstrating that another person or entity contests your right to use or display a name, trademark, service mark or other content, we may reject or discontinue the Advertising Products and our services without liability to you until such time you have resolved that dispute with the other party to our satisfaction. As to Advertising Products we create for you, whether in whole or in part, and any derivative work that we create from your content, you acknowledge that we are an author and assign to us all rights in and to any independently copyrightable contribution you might have made to the advertising. You further acknowledge that we retain all right, title and interest, including the copyright, in such Advertising Products and that neither you nor we intend for such advertising to constitute a joint work. You grant us a nonexclusive license during the term of this Agreement, including the right to sublicense, to copy, distribute, create derivative works based upon, publicly display, publicly perform and otherwise use any trademark, service mark, graphics, text or other content you provide to us in connection with our performance of our obligations under this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, we are not obligated to return any of these works to you.

 Proofs. We reserve the right to require you to return proofs of your Advertising to us, signed or verbally recognized with your approval or corrections. Failure to return such proofs may delay your advertising “going live” on our websites.

 Custom Domain Registration/Ownership of Work Product. If the Advertising Product you have ordered involves the hosting or operation of a Web site, the Universal Resource Locator ("URL") therefore must be registered in our name with a domain registrar of our choosing so we may manage the domain while we host or operate the Web site. If you do not have a URL, we will procure a URL and will pay the applicable domain name registration fees to the registrar and maintain ownership. We cannot guarantee that any URLs and/or domain names you request for your Web site will be available for your use. If none of your requested URLs are available, we will contact you and request alternatives. If you already own the registration for the desired URL, you must transfer the URL to us with a domain registrar of our choosing. If the URL cannot be transferred or you fail to undertake the action we request to cause the transfer, then, in our discretion, we may (but are not obligated to) choose a URL or domain name on your behalf. Upon termination of this Agreement or in the event you are in breach of this Agreement, any Web sites hosted or operated under this Agreement may be disabled, in our sole discretion. We will invoice you for all fees that may incur in the future with connection of transferring to you that URL registered in our name that is related to your Web site if you notify us in writing within thirty (30) days after termination or expiration of this Agreement that you desire such transfer. If you fail to notify us that you desire such transfer within such thirty (30) day period or fail timely to pay such invoice, then you waive all rights in or with respect to such URL, and you acknowledge that we may allow the registration for such URL to lapse, may retain and use such URL, or may transfer such URL to a third party, without restriction.

 Performance Advertising Products. We or our vendor will fulfill your performance based Advertising Product- All advertising shall be displayed within seven regular days of contract and will be fully enabled to be engaged by a visitor.  We do not guarantee that any clicks (1) will be from potential customers for you and/or (2) will be of any benefit or value to you (3) will generate you foot traffic, (4) increase your call volume, or (5) or dramatically change your bottom line. You acknowledge that placing any advertising on the World Wide Web no matter how niche or targeted the site may be you may receive an occasional business opportunity that is not warranted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 of these Ts&Cs, upon fulfillment of your performance based Advertising Product, we will terminate your performance based program unless you and we agree to renew it.

 Design of Our Sites, Advertising Products, Statistics and Interruption of Our Services. We and the Distribution Sites may redesign or modify the organization, structure and/or "look-and-feel" of our respective Web sites, Advertising Products at any time and without notice; we may discontinue or add Distribution Sites at any time in our sole discretion. Although we assign each Advertising Product a seniority date, such assignment is internal to us and does not confer any rights to you. An "impression" means each occurrence of a display of an advertisement. Neither any Distribution Site nor we will have any liability to you and you will remain responsible for all moneys owed to us should there be an interruption in our Web site or any third party site or other interruption in our services hereunder for any period of time.

 Copy and Contract Regulations. All advertising and its contents are subject to acceptance by the publisher (Directory52). Publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement, insertion order, space reservation, contract, or position commitment at any time without cause. Publisher will not accept advertisements promoting illegal, abortion, pornographic, race or other offensive materials. Advertiser and Agency assumes responsibility for content of published ad and all responsibility for any claims arising therefore against the Publisher. Publisher assumes no responsibility for claims or statements made in an advertisement. Publisher shall have no liability for errors in material submitted by the advertiser or its agent. This includes electronic materials. Publisher assumes no responsibility or liability for loss of profit, loss of business, or any other damage as a result of any error or omission in or related to an advertisement. Advertisements are accepted upon the representation that the advertiser and its agency have the right to publish the contents thereof. In consideration of such online publication, advertiser and its agency agree to indemnify and hold publisher harmless against any expense or loss by reason of any claims arising out of publication of such advertisements, including, without limitation, those resulting from claims or suits for libel, violation of rights of privacy, plagiarism, or copyright infringements. Any disputes between publisher and/or advertiser and/or advertiser’s agency will be decided by an independent arbitration service selected by the publisher. Conditions, other than rates, are subject to change by publisher without notice. The publisher and advertiser are not liable for delays in delivery and/or non-delivery including but not limited to an act of God, action by any governmental or quasigovernmental entity, fire, flood, insurrection, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes whether legal or illegal, labor shortage, transportation interruption of any type, work slowdown, or any condition beyond the control of the publisher.

 Rates and Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the Order, we will receive payment from you at the time of order for Advertising Products via Company Check, Directory52 Pay Pal, Debit or Credit Card. Any sales, use or other local, state, federal, foreign or other taxes or governmental fees arising out of or in connection with this Agreement are already included in the advertised pre-paid cost. If doing a Net30 agreement, you must pay your balance for advertising products within a 30 day time period from initial advertising order. If payment is made within the first ten days of agreement you will pay the current pre-paid advertising price and not the Net30 rate. Rates may change every two years to grow with the economy with a rate increase due January 2011. 

 Agency Procedures: If Agency matters a 15 percent discount on space, color, and position, if the invoice is paid within 30 days will apply. No commission or discounts will be allowable after the 30-day period. Agency cash discount of 2 percent is available if full payment is received with insertion order. Two percent is calculated after all other discounts are applied. No conditions other than those set forth in the advertising rate card shall be binding on the publisher unless specifically agreed to in writing by the publisher. Publisher will not be bound by conditions printed or appearing on order blanks or copy instructions that conflict with provisions of Directory52’s rate card.

 Default. If advertiser and/or its advertising agency fails to pay such monies as are due and payable to the publisher, Publisher shall have the right to hold advertiser and/or its advertising agency jointly and severally liable for such monies as are due and payable to publisher for advertising that advertiser or its agent ordered and that advertising was published. Invoices are rendered when ad goes live. If you do not pay for your Advertising as billed, we may, at our option, in addition to other rights and remedies, suspend or terminate our Advertising and accelerate all charges and require immediate payment of all sums due for such Advertising for the remainder of the Term. After the 4th day in default we may assess (a) 16% interest per month or at the maximum rate allowed by law until paid and (b) a $50 late payment charge as established by us. You also agree to pay $19 credit card reversal fee or $25 ACH return fee for any paid advertising plans where the money was rejected by our merchant processor, any reasonable costs of collection, attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation that we may incur in collecting any unpaid amount. If more than one Applicant requests Advertising under this AO, all will be jointly and severally liable for all charges.

 DENIAL OF CREDIT. If Customer’s application for business credit is denied, Customer has the right to a written statement of the specific reasons for the denial. To obtain the statement, Customer may contact Publisher within 60 days from the date Customer is notified of Publisher’s decision Publisher will send Customer a written statement of reasons for the denial within 30 days of receiving Customer’s request for the statement. Notice: The federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The federal agency that administers compliance with this law concerning this creditor is Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington, DC 20580.

The limitations contained in this Section 13 apply regardless of the form of action, including actions in contract, tort (including negligence), and strict liability.

 Force Majeure. In no event shall we or any Distribution Site have liability or be deemed to be in breach hereof for any failure or delay of performance resulting from any governmental action, fire, flood, insurrection, earthquake, power failure, network failure, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes (whether legal or illegal), terrorist act, labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind or work slowdown or any other condition not reasonably within our control.
