By clicking on the «Agree» or «Place Order» button or by accessing and using the Services (the «Client Acceptance»), this Agreement becomes and is a legally binding contract. The «Effective Date» of this Agreement shall be the first date of the Client Acceptance. Company and Client are each a «Party» and together «Parties» to this Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Services.

Overview. Company owns and operates the website located at pr.business («Site»), which among other things, provides individuals and businesses with a listing (also referred to as a profile page) as well as services that assist individuals and businesses in monitoring, managing and improving their online reputation, presence, visibility, reviews and ratings («Services»). The Services are more fully described on the Site; provided, however, the Company reserves the right, in its discretion, from time to time add new services to the Services, substitute a new service for one of the existing Services, or discontinue or suspend one of the existing Services. Information about new services will be included on the Site, and the use of new services will be governed by this Agreement. Client agrees that Company will not be liable to Client or any third party for any suspension or discontinuation of any of the Services.

The Company may increase the Fees for any Renewal Term (as defined below) as long as the Company provides the Client with at least seven (7) days’ notice prior to such Renewal Term.

The billing cycle for a Service Plan will be: (i) monthly («Monthly Service Plan»), (ii) quarterly («Quarterly Service Plan»), (iii) annually («Annual Service Plan»), or (iv) such other billing cycle agreed to by Company and set forth in the Order Form (collectively «Billing Cycle(s)»).
Auto-Renewal. The Client understands, agrees and accepts that, unless otherwise expressly stated on the applicable Order Form, the Service Plan will operate on an auto-renewal basis such that Client’s credit card, debit card, electronic payment, or other method of payment («Payment Method») will be assessed the Fees at regular intervals based on the Client’s applicable Billing Cycle (e.g., monthly, quarterly or annually). The Client represents and warrants that it has the legal right to use the Payment Method and hereby authorizes Company to charge Client’s Payment Method for the Service Plan listed in the Order Form for the Initial Term and any Renewal Term.
Monthly, Quarterly and Annual Service Plan Refund Policy.

Taxes and Late Fees. Any amounts payable under this Agreement shall not be subject to set-off and if unpaid after the due date shall be subject to late fees equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) interest per month from the due date until such amount is paid or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is higher.
