LOCAL LIGHTHOUSE ADVERTISING SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. INTRODUCTION: Local Lighthouse, a California Corporation, agrees to provide you (the "USER") with advertising services, subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions.

2. TERM, PAYMENT, & MODIFICATION: The term of this agreement shall commence and become effective as of the sign-up date, which coincides with the one-time non-refundable down payment (SETUP FEE). Site creation is included with initial setup fee and monthly fee. In addition, Local Lighthouse will use any USER-provided content to assist in site creation. Any content provided, USER revisions, or site alteration requests after site is active on the internet may be subject to design fee ($59.00 per hour). The design fee will not be applied if Local Lighthouse is correcting an error on the site. Any other changes requested by the USER will be subject to the $59.00 per hour design fee upon completion and publication of the site. USER will be charged on credit card on file each month coinciding with the date of set up. (If USER signs up March 1st, credit card will be charged each month on the 1st of the month). Online Presence and Website Optimization differs in results with each client depending on area and saturation of industry. Local Lighthouse has continued success ranking their clients on the first page of search engines. If Local Lighthouse does not produce a first page ranking after a three-month time period, then the service will be extended free of charge until such time that a first page ranking has been achieved. Once first page ranking has been achieved, contract charges will resume as per client agreement established upon agreement date. Local Lighthouse is dedicated to producing results for USER faster than any competitor at a fraction of the cost. USER agrees that billing is monthly in accordance to date of agreement and shall remain that way until USER notifies Local Lighthouse in writing. USER must cancel with 15 days notice to not be billed for monthly charges. If USER cancels before monthly billing cycle is complete, USER agrees to pay for entire month.

3. CANCELLATION: The periodic Local Lighthouse fee is valid from the period starting on the billing date and continues through the periodic anniversary date (30 Days). Upon the fulfillment of the USER Agreement with Local Lighthouse, if USER wishes to terminate service more than 15 days prior to the next anniversary billing date, the next monthly fee will not be charged. If USER requests to terminate service within 15 days of the next anniversary billing date, then USER agrees to pay the charge due on the next billing date. When cancelling service with Local Lighthouse, USER must call in and receive a cancellation confirmation number 15 days prior to USER’s anniversary billing date before service can be terminated. USER agrees that any charges incurred prior to cancellation are valid. Upon cancellation, Local Lighthouse will keep the website online and active for 7 days or until repurposing, whichever is sooner.

4. PAYMENT: Except as expressly set forth herein, all payments are non-refundable. If payment is made using a credit card or if there are any periodic charges for publication of a site, those charges may be billed automatically to a credit card provided by USER. USER agrees to have credit card on file charged monthly by Local Lighthouse or other payment processing affiliates associated with Local Lighthouse. Unless Local Lighthouse provides a written billing agreement listing otherwise, charges will be automatically billed to the credit card USER designated during the setup process. Local Lighthouse reserves the right to collect and send to collection agencies any outstanding balance due 30 days after the payment due date. If USER's credit card on file expires, USER hereby gives Local Lighthouse permission to charge the credit card with a later expiration date to allow for continued payment of Local Lighthouse service. Customer may provide updated credit card information to Local Lighthouse verbally, and allows Local Lighthouse to use that information accordingly for continuation of service. In addition, a penalty fee may be incurred or cancellation may be initiated if USER fails to update credit card information. USER authorizes Local Lighthouse and/or its affiliates to collect any charges related to the service of USER's account.

5. PAYMENT CHANGES:USER may designate another credit card at any time. In addition, a penalty fee may be incurred or cancellation may be initiated if USER fails to update outdated, or otherwise incorrect credit card information.
