Use and access to the TAPLOCAL Sites (including any rebranded or white label version of the TAPLOCAL Sites), and the services described below (the “Services”), are subject to these terms and conditions of use (the “Terms”) as well as our Privacy Policy located at https://taplocalpr.com/legal/privacy

We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time. Any updates to these Terms shall be posted https://taplocalpr.com/legal/terms. You acknowledge your responsibility to review these Terms from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to use any of the TAPLOCAL Sites or Services after we post any such changes, you accept these Terms, as modified. By accessing one of the TAPLOCAL Sites or our Services, you accept these Terms and certify that you have reviewed these Terms and that you are within or have reached the age of majority or age 18 (whichever is greater) in your jurisdiction. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS, PLEASE LEAVE THIS WEBSITE BY CLOSING YOUR INTERNET BROWSER WINDOW NOW. IF YOU DO NOT INTEND ON USING THE SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT UTILIZE THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY TAPLOCAL.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

  1. The Services

Services described on the TAPLOCAL Sites may or may not be available in all countries or regions of the world, may be available under different trademarks in different countries and, where applicable, may be approved or cleared by a government regulatory body for sale or use with different indications and restrictions in different countries. You agree to use the TAPLOCAL Services in accordance with all applicable guidelines and all laws of the jurisdiction in which you use the Services or access the TAPLOCAL Sites.

The Services consist of one or more of the following: a web-based interface, access to incoming telephone number or keywords, electronic mail, Direct Inward Dialing Numbers (“DIDs”), Short Codes, messaging applications, mail messaging, voice broadcast applications, SMS and MMS gateway access, data encryption, data transmission, data access, data storage and, if applicable, synchronization software, as well as software maintenance and upgrades and customer support, that enable you to send SMS messages, MMS messages and/or voice broadcasts to recipients designated by you (collectively, the “Services”). We transmit messages initiated by you or sent to you by others through different routes, and the level of reliability and support for special features varies according to the route. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all computer hardware, software and communications equipment needed to access and use the Services, and for paying all access charges (e.g., ISP, telecommunications) incurred while using the Services.

TAPLOCAL only provides that the Services are processed correctly and further transmitted by TAPLOCAL to the applicable downstream network. TAPLOCAL is not responsible for the final delivery of any communication initiated by you through the Services, as this is out of our control and is the responsibility of downstream communications carriers.

TAPLOCAL transmits and receives voice, email, SMS, and MMS messages via other major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus TAPLOCAL’s influence over the timing of the transmission of your messages is within the technical constraints imposed upon TAPLOCAL. While TAPLOCAL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit your messages and broadcasts to the applicable network for final delivery to your designated recipients as fast as possible, we cannot commit to, and do not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time. Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various entities involved in the transmission of your messages across the public switched telephone network and/or Internet. You should know that communications carriers assign messages with a default lifetime and any message that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the communications carrier without any notice. TAPLOCAL is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message to be delivered, and you acknowledge that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from TAPLOCAL for any such non-deliveries. Furthermore, you agree that message contents are deemed to have zero value.

Using our Services, accessing the TAPLOCAL Sites and providing data and other information that will be available to your Customers (“Content”) through the Services requires a TAPLOCAL ID. Your TAPLOCAL ID is valuable, and you are responsible for maintaining its confidentiality and security. TAPLOCAL is not responsible for any losses arising from the unauthorized use of your TAPLOCAL ID, the Services or the Content. Please contact TAPLOCAL if you suspect that your TAPLOCAL ID has been compromised. Your use of the Services and Content must follow the requirements set forth in the Agreement. Any other use of the Services and Content is a material breach of this Agreement. TAPLOCAL may monitor your use of the Services and Content to ensure that you are following these requirements. You may use the Services and Content only in connection with the receipt of Services. TAPLOCAL’s delivery of Content does not transfer any promotional use rights to you, and does not constitute a grant or waiver of any rights of the copyright owners. Your provision of Content to TAPLOCAL places no obligation on TAPLOCAL to maintain that Content and TAPLOCAL is not liable for any Content lost or destroyed by TAPLOCAL. You should backup any Content provided to TAPLOCAL. You may not tamper with or circumvent any security technology included with the Services. You may access our Services only using TAPLOCAL’s software, and may not modify or use modified versions of such software.

You agree that we may communicate with you and your Customers by SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your or your Customers’ mobile device and that certain information about your and your Customers’ usage of the Mobile Services may be communicated to us.

TAPLOCAL may affiliate with certain third-party service providers with whom we work to provide you certain Services under this Agreement (“Service Partners”). You hereby acknowledge that our Service Partners are third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement with the right to enforce its terms directly, to the extent applicable. You hereby acknowledge that certain limitations may be placed by us or our Service Partners on your use of the Services, including but not limited to character limits, quality standards, and other applicable content policies, and we and/or our Service Partners may reject any of Your Content at any time, in our or their sole discretion, or modify Your Content at any time in order to comply with such policies, and the appearance and/or location of Your Content placement may change at any time. Further, you acknowledge that certain Services may involve distribution of Your Content, including but not limited to business listing information (e.g., store location, hours of operation, and contact information) and/or other interactions with third-parties (“Publishers”) that own or operate online business directories, search web sites, social media web sites, mobile apps, or other online properties (the “Publisher Sites”). Neither we nor our Service Partners guarantee that Your Content will be displayed on any Publisher Site. You hereby agree and acknowledge that your use of certain Services shall be subject to additional terms and conditions mandated by our Service Partners.

Should you choose to participate in such a forum, you agree not to utilize the forum for illegal or inappropriate purposes.

TAPLOCAL shall also have no responsibility or liability for any content created or posted by you or other third parties within any online forum.

  1. Intellectual Property

Subject to the terms herein, you are permitted to access the TAPLOCAL Sites, the Services, and any content provided by TAPLOCAL (which may include text, images, hosted software, sound files, video or other content, and may be provided via the TAPLOCAL Sites or otherwise) solely for the purpose of receiving information about TAPLOCAL’s business and products, purchasing and utilizing the Services, communicating with TAPLOCAL, entering prize promotions offered by TAPLOCAL, or otherwise as stated on the TAPLOCAL Sites. TAPLOCAL hereby grants a worldwide, fully paid-up, perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable license without the right to sub-license to you to use the TAPLOCAL Sites and Services solely for the purpose of operating the TAPLOCAL Sites and using the Services.

We may have copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights covering subject matter in the Services, including the web pages that are part of the Services and the TAPLOCAL Sites. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, the availability of the Services and the TAPLOCAL Sites does not give you any license to these patents, trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property. All copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets and other intellectual proprietary rights contained in the TAPLOCAL Sites are the sole property of TAPLOCAL or its licensors, each of whom reserves all rights with regard to such materials. You acknowledge and agree that you may not copy, reproduce, retransmit, modify, alter, create any derivative works, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Services or TAPLOCAL Sites, including any proprietary communications protocol used by the Services or the TAPLOCAL Sites without the express written permission of TAPLOCAL. All other trademarks or trade names are the property of their respective owners, and such material may not be copied, downloaded, redistributed, modified or otherwise exploited, in whole or in part, without the permission of the owner.

TAPLOCAL abides by the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by responding to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws. As part of our response, we may remove or disable access to material residing on a site that is controlled or operated by TAPLOCAL that is claimed to be infringing, in which case we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the person who submitted the affected material so that they may make a counter notification, also in accordance with the DMCA. TAPLOCAL does not control content hosted on third party websites, and cannot remove content from sites it does not own or control. If you are the copyright owner of content hosted on a third party site, and you have not authorized the use of your content, please contact the administrator of that website directly to have the content removed.

Before serving either a Notice of Infringing Material or Counter-Notification, you may wish to contact a lawyer to better understand your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other applicable laws. The following notice requirements are intended to comply with TAPLOCAL’s rights and obligations under the DMCA and, in particular, section 512(c), and do not constitute legal advice.

Notice of Infringing Material

To file a notice of infringing material on a site owned or controlled by TAPLOCAL, please provide a notification containing the following details:

  1. Reasonably sufficient details to enable us to identify the work claimed to be infringed or, if multiple works are claimed to be infringed, a representative list of such works (for example: title, author, any registration or tracking number, URL);
  1. Reasonably sufficient detail to enable us to identify and locate the material that is claimed to be infringing (for example a link to the page that contains the material);
  1. Your contact information so that we can contact you (for example, your address, telephone number, email address);
  1. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material identified in (2) is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  1. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is alleged to be infringed.
  1. Your physical or electronic signature.

Then send this notice via email to: [email protected] and type “Notice of Infringing Material” in the subject line.

  1. Data Protection & Privacy

In order to ensure your compliance with these Terms and to ensure that TAPLOCAL complies with national and international laws, we may, from time to time, randomly check the messages that you send. Nonetheless, we are committed to maintaining the privacy of your information, pursuant to our Privacy Policy, located at: http://taplocalnow.com/privacy. Except as otherwise required for your use of the Services as contemplated herein, TAPLOCAL does not want you to, and you should not, send any confidential or proprietary information to TAPLOCAL via the TAPLOCAL Sites or the email addresses referenced on the TAPLOCAL Sites.

You agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you shall handle any personally identifiable information that is inputted into the TAPLOCAL systems in the following manner: (i) in the event you seeks to export such data, you shall use a commercially reasonable contact management tool to provide an opt-out mechanism for anyone who has provided you personally identifiable information that is stored on our systems, (ii) you agree that TAPLOCAL can delete such data in the event the opt-out mechanism is used, and (iii) any use of such data by you shall comply with TAPLOCAL’s privacy policy. You shall indemnify hold harmless and defend TAPLOCAL and its affiliates from any claim brought against TAPLOCAL or its affiliates alleging that personal information stored by TAPLOCAL was improperly used where such use was by you while such information was stored by TAPLOCAL or any use after you have exported such data.

You further recognize that TAPLOCAL does not want you to, and you warrant that you shall not, provide any information or materials to TAPLOCAL that is defamatory, threatening, obscene, harassing, or otherwise unlawful, or that incorporates the proprietary material of another.

  1. Payments

Your use of the Services is contingent on your paying for such use (whether paid in advance or through the purchase of credits on the TAPLOCAL Sites), in the amounts and using the methods indicated on your TAPLOCAL Service Agreement. Your payment for the Services, Credits (as defined below in Section 10), keywords, DIDs, usage-sensitive fees and/or plans (a portion of which also includes software maintenance and upgrades, as well as customer support) shall be deemed completed when TAPLOCAL receives the full amount of payment owed for such Services, Credits, keywords, DIDs and/or plans. You are responsible to pay for any message or broadcast you attempt to send to any number, regardless of whether the message is actually received by the intended recipient. As TAPLOCAL is dependent on other entities for the delivery of your messages and broadcasts, our price per credit may require adjustment in order to account for costs that are not in our control. If TAPLOCAL’s costs to provide the Services expectantly increases prior to the end of your contract term, we may make a corresponding adjustment in our pricing.

TAPLOCAL will charge your indicated method of payment for the Services, Credits, keywords, DIDs and/or plans immediately upon your confirmation of the payment method and amount. Amounts to be charged may include sales and other taxes where applicable and any other amounts indicated on the TAPLOCAL Sites or in your Service Agreement. Your account will be credited within 24 hours of TAPLOCAL verifying receipt of your payment. If you have elected to make a payment by credit card and we do not receive payment from the credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due immediately upon demand by TAPLOCAL.

TAPLOCAL cannot readily or accurately ascertain your location when you request to use the Services. You therefore agree that your use of the Services occurs in the State of Arizona and is subject to any applicable Arizona taxes. To the extent that you are responsible for any additional taxes or fees beyond those collected by TAPLOCAL, you agree that you will pay them when due to any applicable taxing authority, including any interest or penalties assessed.

TAPLOCAL shall not be responsible for any errors or transmission failures with regard to the charging and collection of funds from your indicated payment method, nor for any actions taken by the provider of the payment method you choose (which could include refusal to authorize the charge). In addition to these Terms, any payments made by you may be subject to the agreement between you and the provider of the payment method.

As between you and TAPLOCAL, you are responsible for all charges related to purchases made using your account and payment method, whether or not you authorized such purchases. Standard charges apply to any test call sent originating from your account or initiated using your API key. In the event of accidental under billing in your favor or non-payment by you for agreed upon Services, TAPLOCAL shall be entitled to immediately proceed with collection remedies and shall be entitled to recover any and all costs, fees, and expenses of such collection efforts, including but not limited to: collection agencies, court costs, filing and service of process fees, expert witness fees, attorneys’ fees incurred from counsel of TAPLOCAL’s choosing, or any other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in the pursuit of collection on all accounts and receivables due and payable under the terms of your Service Agreement.

  1. Credits

Credits are paperless vouchers that you purchase and which facilitate the transmission of the TAPLOCAL Services selected by you. The chosen route as well as the destination of a message or broadcast causes the amount of credits required to either increase or decrease but, in either case, will always be made known beforehand through the Pricing Page of our TAPLOCAL Sites. The submission of a seemingly-valid message or broadcast will cause an associated quantity of credits to be debited from your account and you can obtain the real-time status of your account at any time through the online interface.

Expiration of Credits and Prepaid Minutes

Credits purchased as a part of a package or monthly plan, including any additional credits purchased during your monthly billing cycle as part of an upgrade to your plan, and not used within the month of purchase, expire at the end of the month, unless the plan explicitly provides for roll-over of credits. Individual anytime, non-monthly plan credits purchased through your account expire after 18 months from the date of purchase, at which point such credits shall expire automatically, unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase. Credits are purchased on a first-bought, first-to-expire basis. Additionally, the value of credits may change over time as the cost of transmission changes, and thus you acknowledge that the number of credits needed to utilize the Services may change correspondingly. You may request a full refund of any unused, non-monthly plan credits within one (1) business day of purchase. No other refunds will be given. Any unused value shall be forfeited upon expiration. All prices, per-minute rates, and billing increments are subject to change at any time due to fluctuations in market conditions. Notwithstanding the above, TAPLOCAL may, in its sole discretion, offer customized plans that provide for individualized terms concerning credit expiration, billing cycles, account maintenance fees and/or other agreed upon terms. The terms of such customized plans will be agreed upon in the Service Agreement.

  1. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability

TAPLOCAL reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the offering of any of the TAPLOCAL Sites or Services at any time for any reason without prior notice. Further, while TAPLOCAL utilizes electronic and physical security to reduce the risk of improper access to or manipulation of data during transmission and storage, it cannot guarantee the security or integrity of the data and shall have no liability for breaches of security or integrity or third-party interception in transit, nor for any damage which may result to your computer or other property by your use of the TAPLOCAL Sites or Services.

You acknowledge that your messages are transmitted unencrypted and that eavesdropping of communications by third parties is possible. TAPLOCAL recommends that you ensure sensitive and valuable information is communicated by a protected and/or encrypted method.

TAPLOCAL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make access to the Services available through the required access protocols, but makes no warranty or guarantee that (i) the Services or TAPLOCAL Sites will be available at any particular time; or (ii) you will be able to access the Services or TAPLOCAL Sites at any particular time or from any particular location. TAPLOCAL will not be liable for any act or omission of any other company or companies furnishing a portion of the Services (including, without limitation communications carriers or ISPs), or from any act or omission of a third party, including those vendors participating in TAPLOCAL offerings made to you, or for equipment that it does not furnish, or for damages that result from the operation of customer-provided systems, equipment, facilities or services that are interconnected with the Service.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE TAPLOCAL SITES AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS WHATSOEVER, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING OR ANY STATEMENT TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS, TAPLOCAL DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE USE OF THE TAPLOCAL SITES OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INTERRUPTIONS TO THE SERVICES CAUSED BY THE INTENTIONAL AND/OR MALICIOUS ACTS OF THIRD PARTIES (E.G., “HACKING”) NOR SHALL TAPLOCAL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS OR LOSS OF ANY INFORMATION IN YOUR ACCOUNT, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE. FURTHERMORE, TAPLOCAL MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USE OF THE SERVICES OR THAT THE TAPLOCAL SITES OR SERVICES WILL MEET ANY OF YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OTHER THAN AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS. TAPLOCAL MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, OR TIMELINESS OF THE MATERIAL, SERVICE, SOFTWARE, TEXT, GRAPHICS OR LINKS, AND ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED FROM ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE. TAPLOCAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM LOSS OF USE OR LOST BUSINESS, LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS, LOSS OR DAMAGE TO OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL), OR FOR ANY COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER ACTIONS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IF YOUR USE OF THE TAPLOCAL SITES OR SERVICES RESULTS IN THE NEED FOR SERVICING OR REPLACING EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, OR DATA, TAPLOCAL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE COSTS. TAPLOCAL’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE TAPLOCAL SITES OR SERVICES FOR DIRECT DAMAGES SHALL NOT, IN THE AGGREGATE, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MONTHLY TRANSACTION FEE PAID BY YOU TO TAPLOCAL HEREUNDER. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS DETERMINED BY A COURT WITH JURISDICTION TO BE UNREASONABLE OR OTHERWISE UNENFORCEABLE, TAPLOCAL’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE MONTHLY TRANSACTION FEE PAID BY YOU TO TAPLOCAL. YOU SHALL ACT AT ALL TIMES TO MITIGATE ANY LIABILITY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SHARING OF YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION, LOGIN INFORMATION OR PASSWORDS SHALL BE ATYOUR SOLE AND ABSOLUTE RISK AND THAT TAPLOCAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ARISING AS A RESULT OF SUCH SHARING. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS APPLY BOTH TO TAPLOCAL AND TO ITS THIRD-PARTY BUSINESS PARTNERS.

Some countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

  1. User Warranties; Indemnification

You warrant and represent to TAPLOCAL that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in these Terms or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. You further warrant and represent that you are and shall at all times remain in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations with regard to your use of the TAPLOCAL Sites and Services, including without limitation the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the CAN-SPAM Act (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) of 2003, and all other laws and regulations concerning privacy, telemarketing, and Internet marketing.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless TAPLOCAL and its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, contractors, representatives, content providers and service providers, from and against any and all losses, claims, obligations, liabilities, damages, settlements, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, consequential damages, incidental damages, special damages, exemplary or punitive damages, disbursements and attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees incurred from counsel selected by TAPLOCAL in its sole discretion) arising from or relating to any actual or threatened claim, suit, action, proceeding, governmental investigation or enforcement action based upon or arising out of: (i) your breach of the above warranties; (ii) any use by you, or an account or computer owned by you, of the TAPLOCAL Sites or Services; (iii) any violations or alleged violations of any federal, state or international law or regulation, or (iv) any breach of these Terms. You agree to cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any claim, suit, action, proceeding, governmental investigation or enforcement action, but we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter in which you are a named party and that is otherwise subject to indemnification by you. You acknowledge and agree to be held liable for any and all damages caused to TAPLOCAL by you as a direct result of a violation of local, state, national or international laws and regulations, including but not limited to those damages that may arise from your fraudulent, intentional or unintentional harm, disability, unauthorized use of, or destruction to any and all equipment, licensing and/or services provided by TAPLOCAL to you.

  1. Termination, Cancellation and/or Suspension by TAP

If at any time you breach these Terms, TAPLOCAL may elect to suspend, terminate, and/or cancel your use of the Services and/or recover any damages from you arising from the event(s) giving rise to the suspension, termination, or cancellation. We reserve the right to suspend the Services at any stage for any reason we may deem necessary to continue to provide our Services in a way that may be hindered by your status as being our client, your financial status or the content of the messages or broadcasts originating from you.

Upon any such termination, cancellation, and/or suspension, you are still responsible for any obligations then accrued. Your obligation to pay all amounts accrued and owed by you shall continue even after any suspension or cancellation of your access to the Services (in whole or in part). Upon termination, for any reason, you agree to immediately cease using the Services and TAPLOCAL shall have no obligation to you after any termination or cancellation of these Terms.

Should such a termination take place when you still have credits in your account, you shall receive back, at our discretion, a fair monetary value of such credits, save any expenses that may be incurred by TAPLOCAL, including, without limitation, for payment of transfer duties, legal costs, third-party costs, or penalties.

  1. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

The provisions of this paragraph apply if you live in or if you are a business your principal place of business is in the United States. We hope we never have a dispute, but if we do, the following terms apply to the resolution of that dispute. Initially, we ask that you contact one of our customer service representatives at 1-844-311-4735 or [email protected]. If our customer service representative is unable to resolve the dispute, you and we agree to try for 60 days to resolve it informally through phone calls, letters/emails and meetings. If we do not resolve the dispute through informal means, you and we may choose to resolve the dispute by individual binding arbitration, as described below, instead of in court. Any claim (except for a claim challenging the validity or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including the Class Action Waiver) may be resolved by binding arbitration if either side requests it. THIS MEANS IF EITHER YOU OR WE CHOOSE ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. ALSO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS ARE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. If either of us elects to proceed via individual binding arbitration, it shall proceed before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or in such other manner as agreed to by both parties under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). A neutral arbitrator will resolve the dispute. The arbitrator’s decision will be final, except for a limited right of review under the FAA.

  1. Class Action Waiver. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT PERMITTED, NOR IS COMBINING INDIVIDUAL PROCEEDINGS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES.
  2. Disputes Covered. The term “dispute” is interpreted as broadly possible. It includes any claim or controversy between you and us concerning the Services or use of the TAPLOCAL Sites under any legal theory including contract, warranty, tort, strict liability, statute, or regulation.
  3. Mail a Notice of Dispute First. If you have a dispute and our customer service representatives can’t resolve it, send a Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to: TAPLOCALLocal ATTN: Legal Department 2150 South Country Club Drive Suite 18 Mesa, AZ 85210. Tell us your name, address, how to contact you, what the problem is, and what you want.
  4. Small Claims Court Option. Instead of mailing a Notice of Dispute, you may sue us in small claims court in your county of residence (or if a business your principal place of business) or Maricopa County, Arizona, U.S.A. if you meet the court’s requirements.
  5. Arbitration Procedure. The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (or if you are an individual and use the Services or TAPLOCAL Sites for personal or household use, or if the value of the dispute is $75,000 or less whether or not you are an individual or how you use the Services or Access the TAPLOCAL Sites, its Consumer Arbitration Rules). For more information, see www.adr.org or call 1-800-778-7879. To start an arbitration, submit the Commercial Arbitration Rules Demand for Arbitration Form available at http://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Commercial%20Demand%20for%20Arbitration.pdf to the AAA and mail a copy to us at the address listed in subparagraph d. In a dispute involving $25,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing. Any in-person hearing will take place in your county of residence (or if a business your principal place of business) or our principal place of business—Maricopa County, Arizona. You choose. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually to satisfy your individual claim.
  1. Arbitration Fees and Payments.
  1. If you wish to begin arbitration against us but you cannot afford to pay the filing fee, we will advance those costs if you ask us to do so in writing at the address listed in subparagraph d. If you lose the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide whether you must reimburse us for money we advanced for you for the arbitration. If you win the arbitration, we will not ask for reimbursement of money we advanced.
  2. Disputes Involving $75,000 or Less. We will promptly reimburse your filing fees and pay the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses, if you prevail at the arbitration. In addition, if you reject our last written settlement offer made before the arbitrator was appointed, your dispute goes all the way to an arbitrator’s decision (called an “award”), and the arbitrator awards you more than this last written offer, we will: (i) pay the greater of the award or $1,000; (ii) pay your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (iii) reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration.

iii. Disputes Involving More than $75,000. The AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.

  1. Conflict with AAA Rules. These Terms govern to the extent they conflict with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules or Consumer Arbitration Rules.
  1. Must File Within One Year. You and we must file in small claims court or arbitration any claim or dispute within one year from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, it’s permanently barred.
  1. You Have the Right to Reject the Class Action Waiver and Changes to the Arbitration Provisions. You may reject the Class Action Waiver provisions of this paragraph, but only if we receive from you a written notice of rejection within 30 days of your first use of the Services to the address listed in subsection d. Your rejection notice must include your name, address, phone number, email address and personal signature. No one else may sign the rejection notice for you. Your rejection notice also must not be sent with any other correspondence. Rejection will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under this Agreement. You may also reject any change we make to this section 18 (except address changes) following your initial use of the Services by sending us notice within 30 days of the change by U.S. Mail to the address in section subsection d. If you do, the most recent version of this section 18 before the change you rejected will apply.
  1. Severability. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts won’t be arbitrated but will proceed in court, with the rest proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of section 18 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of section 18 still applies.
  1. Other Beneficiaries of this Provision. In addition to you and us, the rights and duties described in this arbitration agreement apply to: our affiliates and our and their officers, directors and employees.
  1. Miscellaneous

The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind TAPLOCAL in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, TAPLOCAL will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees if it substantially prevails.

All notices required hereunder shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Nothing contained herein limits TAPLOCAL’s ability to sell all or substantially all of its assets or assign any of its rights and obligations to a third-party without your consent.

Targeted online advertising

Some of the business partners that collect information about users’ activities on our websites or in our mobile applications may be members of organizations or programs that provide choices to individuals regarding the use of their browsing behavior or mobile application usage for purposes of targeted advertising.

Users may opt out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through participating members of the following organizations or programs:

Users of mobile applications may opt out of receiving targeted advertising in mobile applications through participating members of the Digital Advertising Alliance by installing the AppChoices mobile application, available here, and selecting the user’s choices. In addition, your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit our, or our partners’, ability to engage in ad tracking or targeted advertising using the Google Advertising ID or Apple ID for Advertising associated with your mobile device.

Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.

If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.

Do Not Track Signals

Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. We currently do not respond to do not track signals. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Choosing not to provide your personal data

Where we request personal data directly from you, you do not have to provide it to us. If you decide not to provide the requested information, in some circumstances we, or our clients, may be unable to provide products or services to you. For example, we may be unable to process your transaction.

Accessing, modifying or deleting your information

You may access, change, or correct information that we have about you, at any time or by making a request to us contact us, in which case we may need to verify your identity before granting access or otherwise changing or correcting your information.

  • How we keep your data safe

We take reasonable measures, including administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, to protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Paradigm E-Sign Consent

Last updated:  October 22, 2019

Paradigm Services, Inc. and its affiliates and third party service providers (Collectively “TAPLocal”, “Paradigm”) may need to provide you with certain communications, notices, agreements, billing statements, or disclosures in writing (“Communications”) regarding our Services. Your agreement to this E-sign Consent confirms your ability and consent to receive Communications electronically from Paradigm, its affiliates, and its third party service providers, rather than in paper form, and to the use of electronic signatures in our relationship with you (“Consent”). If you choose not to agree to this Consent or you withdraw your consent, you may be restricted from using the Services.

Electronic Delivery of Communications and Use of Electronic Signatures

Under this Consent, Paradigm may provide all Communications electronically by email, by text message, or by making them accessible via Paradigm websites or applications. Communications include, but are not limited to, (1) agreements and policies required to use the Services (e.g. this Consent, the Paradigm Privacy Notice, the Paradigm Sub Account Payment Agreement, and the Paradigm Merchant Processing Agreement), (2) payment authorizations and transaction receipts or confirmations, (3) account statements and history, (4) and all federal and state tax statements and documents. We may also use electronic signatures and obtain them from you.

System Requirements

To access and retain the electronic Communications, you will need the following:

  • A computer or mobile device with Internet or mobile connectivity.
  • For desktop website-based Communications:
    • Recent web browser that includes 256-bit encryption;
    • The browser must have cookies enabled. Use of browser extensions may impair full website functionality; and
    • Minimum recommended browser standards are the most recent versions of Mozilla Firefox (see http://www.mozilla.com for latest version), Apple Safari (see http://www.apple.com/safari for latest version), or Google Chrome (see http://www.google.com/chrome for latest version). 
  • For application-based Communications:
  • A recent device operating system that supports text messaging, downloading, and applications from the Apple App Store or Google Play store; and
  • The most recent versions of Apple Safari or Google Chrome on iOS or Google Chrome for Android OS.
  • Access to the email address used to create an account for Paradigm Services.
  • Sufficient storage space to save Communications and/or a printer to print them.
  • If you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you must add [email protected]  to your email address book.

Paper Delivery of Communications

You have the right to receive Communications in paper form. To request a paper copy of any Communication at no charge, please write to Paradigm Services, Inc., 345 St. Peters Street, Ste. 705, St. Paul, MN 55102  Attn: Customer Support – Legal (“Paradigm Address”) within 180 days of the date of the Disclosure, specifying in detail the Communication you would like to receive. For the avoidance of doubt, requesting a paper copy of any Communication, in and of itself, will not be treated as withdrawal of consent to receive electronic Communications.

Withdrawal of Consent to Electronic Communications

You may withdraw your consent to receive electronic Communications at any time, by writing to the Paradigm Address. However, withdrawal of your consent to receive electronic Communications may result in termination of your access to Services. Any withdrawal of your consent will be effective after a reasonable period of time for processing your request, and Paradigm will confirm your withdrawal of consent and its effective date in writing (either electronically or in paper form).

Updating Your Email Address

You can change your email address by writing to the Paradigm Address. You may also be able to change your email address yourself through the Services.

Types of Cookies We Use

Our websites may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our websites:

  • Session cookies – allow a website to remember your actions during a browsing session and expire once your close your web browser. Session cookies may be used for a variety of purposes, such as remembering that you logged in to one of our websites.
  • Persistent cookies – are stored on your device and may continue to exist until they expire or you delete them. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes, including remembering users’ preferences and choices when using a site or to target advertising.

Cookies can be categorized either as first-party or third-party cookies. Our websites use both types of cookies:

Targeted and
advertising cookies

One particular form of advertising we may use includes a remarketing feature in Google AdWords to reach out to people who previously visited our website. Remarketing involves classifying users according to how they use our website and creating an audience segment for third-party vendors, including Google, to show our targeted ads on third party websites. For example, if you access our contact form to make an enquiry about a particular product on our website, you may receive information relevant to that product within a specific time of visiting our website. This could be in the form of an ad on the Google search results page, or on a site in the Google Display Network.
