(Please print a copy of this TOU for your records.) If you do not agree to the TOU, you are not authorized to use and you must cease using any Sites or Services.

(2.) You may access portions of any Sites or Services with a free account as a user (“User”). While access to certain other portions of the Sites and selected features of the Services is free, FR may charge fees for features and benefits associated with any Sites or Services at any time. Any User who pays to access or use parts of the Sites or Services is a “Subscriber” in this TOU. References to the terms “you” or “your” in the TOU refer to Users or Subscribers, as applicable.  

(3.) If you accept this TOU on behalf of any other person(s) or organization(s), then you represent to FR that you are legally authorized to do so, and “you” or “your” therefore also includes those other person(s) or organization(s).

  1. FR may revise and update this TOU at any time for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion, effective immediately on posting the same to the Sites.

  2. If you enter into a separate written agreement with FR, executed physically or digitally (e.g. DocuSign®) by both you and FR, for you to access or use any Sites or Services (“Other FR Agreement”), to the extent that the terms of any Other FR Agreement conflict with the terms of this TOU, the conflicting terms of such Other FR Agreement will override the conflicting terms of this TOU unless the Other FR Agreement states the contrary.
  1. As a Service, FR may provide application program interfaces and accompanying software code and documentation (any or all are “FR API”) to access and use proprietary FR information and data about URLs (“FR Data”).
  2. If FR provides you any FR API via a secret access key, subject to this TOU, then FR grants you a worldwide, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to make a reasonable number of copies of and use the FR API to access FR Data to use other Services. If you use or publicly display any FR Data accessed with any FR API, you also will comply with any FR link and attribution guidelines on the Sites from time to time.
  3. You may not resell or redistribute any proprietary FR API that FR licensed to you or any FR Data via your own API or offer it to any third parties.
  4. FR reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to any FR API at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. If your access to any FR API is suspended or terminated, you have no rights associated with such FR API and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to any refund or other compensation whatsoever.

Certain Services include FR proprietary software as a service accessed and used from the Sites. If you are a User of or Subscriber to any such Services, then you are also subject to the following specific terms and conditions.  

  1. Terms and Conditions Governing FR Subscriptions

If you purchase from any of the Sites subscriptions FR to manage business listing information and/or location data using FR Subscriptions, you are subject to the TOU and particularly the following related to your FR Subscription(s).

(1.) Fees. You agree to immediately pay FR for each managed location for recurring one-year terms beginning on the date of each payment (all payments are “FR Subscriptions Service Fees”). FR incurs third-party costs for each FR Subscriber immediately after the Subscriber submits data to FR Local, so you agree that ALL PAYMENTS ARE FINAL and FR is not obligated whatsoever for any partial or complete refunds, including for any renewal payments described in paragraph (3.) below.

(2.) Scope of Services. Subject to this TOU (including payment), FR will distribute data to certain location data aggregators and business listing services and may offer additional reports and tools related to this data. These services are described in greater detail on the Sites.

(3.) Renewal. Each business location renews annually within 30 days of the anniversary of the previous payment for that location. If your renewal payment fails, you will no longer have any rights under this TOU related to your previously purchased FR Subscriptions, including the right to manage your business listing, until your payments are current. Failure to renew a listing in a timely manner (prior to the date of annual renewal) will result in loss of any special or custom pricing terms associated with a business location.

(4.) Pricing Changes. FR may change its FR Subscriptions Service Fees from time to time; with respect to new pricing for renewals, FR will provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice by email and/or posting any new fee schedule on the Site for FR Local.

(5.) Customer Management of Each Business Location and Listing.

(a.) Cancellation. You may cancel a managed business location only using the FR Subscriptions dashboard. Cancellation is immediate, irreversible and must occur prior to expiration of the business location term to avoid related renewal fees. Cancellation removes a listing and associated data from your dashboard. Your cancellation of any business location will not under any circumstances entitle you to any complete or partial refunds whatsoever for such cancelled business location.

(b.) Changes and Updates. You may make unlimited changes and updates to business location data during the related term. However, if you make changes to core data — such as domain name, phone number, or location address — that FR is unable to validate using third-party services such as Google or Facebook, FR may not be able to update your changes with location data aggregators and business listing services following submission. This validation policy protects you and other customers from having business locations listing data hijacked by unauthorized agents.

(6.) Additional FR Subscriber Obligations and Acknowledgements. You acknowledge and agree as follows:

(a.) By purchasing FR Subscriptions listings, you warrant that you own each listing or are otherwise authorized to represent the business location as of when you pay the related FR Subscriptions Service Fees.

(b.) To periodically review and confirm the accuracy of submitted business listing information.

(c.) FR may occasionally require you to submit proof by email of authorization to represent a FR Subscriptions business location, and failure to comply with any request may result in cancellation of your listing(s).

(d.) Your business location listing(s) may be transferred to another person or entity if that person or entity can sufficiently demonstrate resulting ownership (no such transfer will result in any refunds, however).

(e.) Another agent may submit information to FR Subscriptions or a location listing provider which may override information you submitted about a business location.

(f.) The FR Subscriptions Services send location data to third-party location listing providers who may use this data in any way, and FR cannot control their use once the data is sent to them.

(g.) Location data aggregators and business listing services are not obligated to accept your listing, or any of the information you submit via FR Subscriptions related to a business location.

(h.) FR reserves complete right and discretion to change the mix of FR Subscriptions location data aggregators and business listing services.

  1. Terms and Conditions Governing Subscriptions to All Other FR Software as a Service

These Services also include subscriptions to FR Subscriptions and other software as a service offerings (e.g., Content, Analytics, etc.), and are subject to the TOU and the following obligations specific to FR Subscriptions and such other software as a service offerings by FR.

(1.) Subscription Payment. Subscribers must agree to the payment terms presented at the time you sign up for any Services. You are responsible for acting prior to renewal if you do not want to renew automatically. You may not receive notice of your renewal after subscribing, and you must visit your Subscription and Billing page to find out when your subscription renews. Subscriptions recur either monthly or annually in most cases, depending on the renewal term you choose on signup. You must ensure that the credit card information used for your account or subscription is current and accurate, and that you are authorized to use that credit card. FR may implement fraud-protection measures anytime including, without limitation, temporarily charging small amounts to validate your credit card and authorization.

(2.) Subscription Cancellation. For security, an email or phone call to FR is not sufficient to cancel your Services subscription. You may cancel at any time by selecting the cancel button on your Subscription and Billing page. Cancellation does not entitle you to any refund whatsoever. You will continue to have access to the Sites and Services you have paid for until the end of your subscription term, but will lose access if the subscription is not in good standing.

(3.) No Refunds. FR will not provide you any refunds at any time. If you cancel your subscription, FR is not obligated to refund fees for any portion of your subscription term. If you choose to downgrade your subscription during your subscription term, you may be entitled to a pay a lower, prorated amount as of the date of renewal, but you are not entitled to any refund at any time.

(4.) Multiple Subscriptions. Each subscription has a credit card associated with it. If a subscription is suspended for inability to process that credit card, and you subscribe to a second FR Service while that first Service is suspended (e.g. changing the credit card for the new subscription) but before the original subscription is cancelled (currently 18 days, subject to change), FR may use the valid payment credit card for the second subscription to reinitiate the suspended Service.

The Services are available only to Users and Subscribers who:

      2.

You agree that FR in its sole and absolute discretion may block you from any secure and restricted parts of any Sites or Services. You also agree to notify FR immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of secure and restricted parts of any Sites or Services that you (including but not limited to any of your users) know or should reasonably know about.
      3. You agree that your rights in a subscription or use of any paid Services (including, for example, the ability to change a password associated with a FR Subscriptions account) may depend on demonstrating that you have paid for the subscription to any applicable Services or Sites.
      4. You acknowledge that if you sign up for any Services and pay via credit card, and FR cannot charge your credit card at renewal, FR may cancel your subscription and you may lose access to the Services and any data associated with your subscription.
      5. While some Services may be paid for via invoice pursuant to an Other FR Agreement, FR may quote additional fees for invoiced accounts. If FR has entered into an invoicing relationship with you, the following terms apply unless superseded by an Other FR Agreement: You agree to pay all undisputed invoices within 30 days. You agree that FR may charge interest of 1.5% per month for past due invoices, or the highest rate permitted by law, and you are liable for reasonable attorney fees and collection costs arising from FR’s efforts to collect on past due amounts. If you fail to pay an invoice, FR reserves the right to cancel your subscription and access to any Sites or Services, and any data associated with your subscription or the Services.
      6. Taxes. The price, fees, and other amounts payable to FR under this TOU do not include any sales, use, or other similar taxes assessed or imposed by any governmental authority.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, FR AND ITS THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT (1.)

  1. Third-Party Software. You are solely and entirely responsible for any third-party software that you obtain and use in connection with any Sites or Services. FR exercises no control over such third-party software, and is not responsible for its performance. Your purchase or use of such software shall be governed by the terms and conditions of such third parties, and you may therefore be asked to accept terms and conditions at the time of purchase and/or access. FR is not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused to you by use of or reliance on any third-party software. You are responsible for all fees charged to you by third parties, or such software or other services you require related to accessing or using any Sites or Services. You are responsible for obtaining all licenses for third-party software for your use with any Sites or Services. If FR believes that you lack necessary rights to use any third-party software that you depend on or use with any Sites or Services, FR may suspend or terminate your access to such Sites or Services.
  2. EXCLUSIONS OF CERTAIN DAMAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. You agree that these exclusions of damages and limitations of liability are a fundamental element of the parties’ agreements in this TOU.

(1.) Under no circumstances will FR or any of its third-party suppliers or any of their respective affiliates be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your reliance on information or other content posted on the Sites or transmitted to or by you or any other Users or Subscribers.

(2.) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER FR NOR ANY OF ITS THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS SHALL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY ORGANIZATIONS, FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM ANY ACCESS TO OR USE OF ANY SITES OR SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF FR OR ANY OF ITS THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS WERE ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE. The disclaimer in the preceding sentence includes any damages arising from your inability to access or use any Sites or Services (including due to modification, suspension, blocking, discontinuance, cancellation, or termination of any Services or any part thereof). Without limiting the foregoing, you specifically acknowledge and agree that neither FR nor any of its third-party suppliers is liable for the defamatory, offensive, infringing, breaching, fraudulent, or illegal conduct of other users, subscribers, or third parties and that any risk from the foregoing are assumed entirely by you. These limitations apply to any matter related to any Sites, Services, or their content; third-party Internet sites, programs, or conduct; viruses or other disabling features; incompatibility between any Sites or Services and other services, software, or hardware; and any delay or failure in initiating, conducting, or completing any transmission or transaction connected with any Sites or Services in an accurate or timely manner.

(3.) Limitation of Liability. Any liability of FR or any of FR’s third-party suppliers of any kind arising out of or related to this TOU (including but not limited to warranty claims) or any of your use of the Sites or Services, regardless of the forum and whether any action or claim is based on breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, shall not exceed the greater of (a.) the total amount paid by you to FR to access or use any Sites or Services giving rise to such liability during the six (6) months immediately preceding the date the liability arose or (b.) two hundred Indian Rupees (INR₹200.00).

(4.) This Section 15.B. applies even if this remedy does not fully compensate you for any losses or fails its essential purpose; or even if FR or any of its third-party suppliers knew or should have known about the possibility of the losses, liability, or damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitation of liability for certain claims or causes of action, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you in these jurisdictions.

  1. Your Internet use may be global; thus, you agree to comply with all local rules and laws regarding your access and use of any Sites or Services through the Internet, and without limitation, you will comply with all applicable laws regarding obscene and indecent content and transmitting technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.
  2. With respect to any personal data (as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation[GDPR] [EU] 2016/679 and any other applicable data protection legislation) (“Personal Data”) which FR processes on your behalf, FR does not process any Personal Data as a part of its core function and FR Subscriptions would only process Personal Data in the unlikely event that the business listing and location information managed by FR Subscriptions were to include the Personal Data of data subject.
