Use of service
Service: You have purchased the plan set forth on the first page of this Agreement and prepaid for the Service (referred to herein as the Service and the Subscription, as applicable). As part of our services, you get clear visibility and comprehensive reporting to understand the impact of your campaign and your “Return on Investment”. As a part of certain campaigns, call tracking is included. Any customer calls that you receive as result of your campaign can be tracked, recorded and communicated to you in order for you to better understand the impact of your campaign. This requires that a Bfound phone line be provided to you and that you use that phone number on your business profile or your external website. You should not provide your username and password to anyone, and you have the obligation to protect your username and password from unauthorized use. You will not be able to access the Service unless your account for your Subscription is in good standing and you are in compliance with this Agreement. The Service may be unavailable or interrupted from time to time for a variety of reasons, such as unavailability or difficulties with the internet generally or with your web browser, computer, home wiring or network, or internet service provider and/or other things that we cannot or do not control. We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to the Service or the Site. We will not be responsible for or provide you any refund or discount associated with any interruption of the Service or downtime of the Site.
User Responsibility, User Safety, Reliance: It is your responsibility to exercise prudent discretion and observe all safety measures required by law and your own common sense in using the Service and the Site. When we work to create your Content (as defined below), we require information from you. All needed information must be submitted within 14 days following the production meeting or on the next business day thereafter, if such day falls on a weekend. If you fail to provide such input, we will produce the profile using whatever information is reasonably available to us at that time and further amendments will not be made. When your input is provided within 14 days as required, we produce the product for your final approval. You have seven days within which you may provide any additional feedback to the profile. Once you have approved, or at the conclusion of seven days even if we have not received your approval, we will start the campaign. In order to produce the Content, we include one in-person production meeting as part of your Subscription. All actions and judgments taken with respect to the Service are your sole responsibility. You assume the entire risk related to your use of the Service and the Site.
User Satisfaction Guarantee: At bfound customer satisfaction is our top priority. The only case in which you may be provided a refund of your Subscription Fee (as defined below) is when we fail to meet our commitment to provide a specific amount of traffic to your listing on the Site, which is measured by the results which consists of either clicks, views, or calls depending on the package you buy. The number of clicks you are guaranteed is set forth in the customer offer letter package for your Subscription. The traffic we drive to your profile page comes from one of our partners, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn or some other media company. This traffic is directed specifically at your profile page on our Site, not to any other domain.
The digital advertising system that we use follows a rollover model. This means that if we do not reach the required number of clicks for your Content in a given calendar month, the shortfall will be added to the following months. This ensures that you will receive the full number of clicks during the Subscription Term (as defined below). If we fail to meet these specifications, you may request a refund at any time up to two weeks prior to the end of the Subscription Term by sending an email to customercare@bfound.io. No requests for refund will be considered after this time and no refund will be given in cases where bfound meets the standards set forth in your customer offer letter package, taking into account the rollover. In some circumstances, it may be advantageous for the appearance and performance of your profile to include a smaller amount of content and keywords than is stated in the customer offer letter package for your Subscription. In the case of a reduced amount of content, you will be asked to approve the content and keywords to be included in the profile. If you agree to such amended specifications, you are waiving your right to terminate the contract on the basis of your profile not containing the same amount of content as stated in your customer offer letter package.
