2. Business Information and Services provided

2.1. The Customer agrees to supply the Provider with the Business Information and the Provider agrees to use the Business Information for the purpose of producing the Free Web Presence Report.

2.2. The Customer shall provide the Business Information to the Provider at the time of the order in such format as the Provider reasonably requires. By completing the Web Presence Report Request Form the Customer agrees to be bound by the terms of the Contract. No conditions other than those set forth herein and in the Web Presence Report Request Form shall be binding on the Provider unless: (i) specifically agreed to in writing by the Provider and (ii) signed by the Customer and the Provider. Save in respect of any such exception, in case of any inconsistency between the Web Presence Report Request Form and these Terms, these Terms will prevail.

2.3. The Provider aims to complete the Free Web Presence Report as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the Business Information but the Customer understands and agrees that no guarantee is given that the Free Web Presence Report will be received within any specific timeframe or at all.

2.4. Following receipt of the Free Web Presence Report the Customer will have the option but not the obligation to purchase from the Provider a Web Presence Product.
The Web Presence Product consists of:

  • A one-off update of the Business Information provided by the Customer, or the relevant parts thereof, on the NetTrackz network of sites.
  • Any subsequent updates of the Business Information as required by the Customer.
  • Twelve (12) Web Presence Reports, to be created for the customer over a 12 month period (approximately one every month). The Customer will receive an email communication every time a new Report is available.
  • A number of "How-to-Guides" (no fewer than 12) to advise the Customer on how to further improve their web presence on various directory sites.

2.5. The Web Presence Report consists of an overview of how the Business Information provided by the Customer is represented on various online directories. Which directories are included in the report will be decided by NetTrackz at its sole discretion and may vary during the lifetime of the Web Presence product.

2.6. The Provider cannot guarantee any delivery units, i.e. impressions, clicks, calls or leads resulting from updating the Business Information on the NetTrackz Network, or whether any of the Web Presence Reports referred to in 2.5 above will confirm an improvement in the customer's internet presence or profile.

2.7. The Provider will take all reasonable steps to ensure that emails are delivered to the Customer in a timely fashion. It is the Customer's responsibility to tell the Provider of any changes of email address that could affect the delivery of notification of new reports.

2.8. The Provider gives no guarantee as to continuing service availability for the hosting, operation and maintenance of the Business Information.

2.9. The Provider may telephone the Customer from time to time and, as with incoming calls to the Provider, the Customer accepts that all such calls may be recorded for internal purposes, including monitoring and training.

2.10. The Customer accepts that the Business Information may be subject to editorial review by the Provider and any Third Party Provider. The Provider also reserves the right, without liability, to reject, replace, omit, terminate or exclude any Business Information, Customer Links or order for the same, for any reason, at any time, with or without notice to the Customer, whether or not such Business Information, link or order was previously acknowledged, accepted, or published.

2.11. Information concerning the Customer contained on the Business Information will be derived from information provided by the Customer and it is therefore the Customer's responsibility to ensure that the information is accurate by checking the Business Information. The Provider shall incur no liability for any errors in that information.

2.12. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that their services and/or products may be the subject of review by users of the Provider's site or Third Party Providers' sites and that the reviews may be favourable or unfavourable and that any third party review activity of the Business Information does not constitute the view or opinion of the Provider. The Customer accepts that the Provider offers no editorial services for reviews and that they are outside the Provider's control.

2.13. The Customer accepts that provision of the Business Information may result in unwanted emails, calls or other communications from third parties and that such unwanted contact is outside of the Provider's control and that the Provider will in no way be held responsible or liable for such contact.

2.14. The Customer accepts that the Provider is not acting as the agent for the Third Party Providers and that the Provider has no relationship with or control over the Third Party Providers.

2.15. Whilst the Provider will exercise reasonable care to ensure the accuracy of the Web Presence Reports all warranties as to its accuracy and content are expressly excluded.

3.1. Except as expressly provided in this Contract, the Provider gives no warranty in relation to the provision of services under this Contract and all warranties, express or implied, are excluded.

3.4. Subject to clause 3.2 and notwithstanding the generality of this clause, the Provider expressly excludes liability for any indirect, special, consequential or economic loss or damage which may arise out of or in relation to the Contract between the Provider and the Customer, whether arising from any failure to produce the Web Presence Report or update the Business Information on the NetTrackz Network in accordance with the Web Presence Report Request Form in a timely manner or at all, or otherwise, and for any loss of profits, revenue, anticipated savings, business, contracts, production or goodwill even if the Provider has been advised as to the possibility of such damages.

3.5. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, the Provider shall not be liable for any loss, damage or delay howsoever arising caused by events which are not reasonably foreseeable or by circumstances outside its reasonable control, including without limitation governmental action, natural disaster, insurrection, riot, explosion, failure of infrastructure or power suppliers, embargo, strikes whether legal or illegal, labour or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slowdown, the failure of third parties to provide necessary or desirable services or other reasons which result in the prevention or delay of its performance under the Contract. The Provider shall be excused from such performance to the extent of such prevention or delay.

3.6. Each of the provisions of this clause 3 is to be construed separately and independently of the others, and if any provision of this clause 3 (or any other clause herein) is found by any court or other judicial body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the other provisions of this clause 3 (or any other clause herein) which will remain in full force and effect.
