4. Charges

a. Free Services

Certain aspects of the Services may be made available to you for free. However, we do not guarantee to offer or maintain any free Services tiers and we may add charges to existing tiers at any time upon notice.

b. Paid Services

When you order any paid Services, the fee terms will be presented to you within the Services, prior to your purchase. At that time, we may communicate additional terms relating to your purchase. Any such terms will become a part of this Agreement. If you do not agree to any such term, your only remedy is not to complete the order. All amounts due will be paid in US Dollars. Any pricing terms that are presented to you on your Order Form may have been rounded up or down to the nearest whole dollar numbers for display purposes. In that case, your actual charges may reflect a slightly higher or lower actual amount that will in no case be more than 99 cents higher or lower than the price that was presented to you on your Order Form. We may change our then-current pricing at any time via notice on the Site, email or other communication to you. However, we will not increase pricing for any Services that you are currently receiving unless we provide notice to you via email with an option for you to opt-out and cancel your membership.

c. Subscription Service

  • Automatic Renewal. Most of our Services, including our data and marketing platforms, Website Services and API Services are subscription-based and automatically renew until either party terminates. This means that (i) we will automatically charge you a recurring membership fee for the period stated during your purchase path or in your Order Form and (ii) your subscription membership will automatically renew, for the same period as the initial term, unless you notify us in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-current termination date. Unless your online purchase path or Order Form specifies otherwise, your subscription Services will be for an annual term and will continue until you or we terminate as per your agreement. You agree to be charged by Funnel automatically on a recurring basis as indicated in your agreement.
  • Pricing; Automatic Increases. Your initial subscription Services will be charged as set forth in your Order Form. Upon the automatic renewal of any term of Services that is at least 12 months and upon any subsequent 12-month renewal period, we may automatically (without advance notice to you) increase the price of your subscription Services by up to 10% of the prior rate (excluding any taxes) for your renewal term. You hereby agree to any such increase as a condition to our allowing your membership to renew. Any such increase will be communicated to you after you have renewed but you can always contact us prior to your membership expiration date to find out what, if any, mandatory pricing increase will be in your subscription renewal.
  • Other Membership Changes. In addition to our automatic price increases, we may seek to further increase your subscription pricing or otherwise change your subscription terms but, in that case, we will notify you and you may decline to accept such change and terminate your membership.
  • Non-Renewal Notice. You can send us your non-renewal notice for your subscription membership by emailing us at billing@funnelleasing.com at least thirty days prior to your membership expiration.

d. Payment

Your Order Form or online purchase path will state whether your Services will be payable automatically or via an invoicing process.

  • Automatic Billing. For automatic billing, by providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of any order made to your Services account. We may issue a charge authorization after you place your order and charge you at a later point and/or we may charge you immediately upon purchase. If your payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your order may be refused, suspended or cancelled. If you want to change or update your payment information, when you make your next purchase, you can choose to add a new card or payment method and swap it at that time. You may also contact our customer care at support@FunnelLeasing.com.
  • Invoiced Billing. For Services billed via invoice, unless we expressly agree otherwise on your Order Form, your payment will be due twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the invoice. You may also contact our billing department at billing@funnelleasing.com.
  • Payment of Fees. Client will pay Funnel the fees as set forth on the Order Form or Statement of Work (the “Fees”). All payments are due twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the invoice. Overdue amounts will be subject to interest of 1.5% per month until payment in full for such amounts is received. All Fees paid are non-refundable. If Client elects to pay via credit-card or other third-party payment platform, then a three percent (3%) processing fee shall apply.  Funnel and/or its third-party payment platform may store Client’s payment information unless otherwise directed, and Funnel shall maintain authorization to bill and charge Client’s credit card during the duration of this Agreement.  During the term of this Agreement, Client shall remain responsible for updating expiration date and other payment-related information.  In the event Client fails to update billing information or otherwise fails to pay amounts due, Client remains responsible for any uncollected amounts or fees due under the agreement.  In the event of any dispute concerning the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including any action instituted to enforce this Fees provision, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs incurred, including collection agency costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

e. No Refunds

Any fees payable hereunder are not refundable and you will remain liable for any obligations incurred or charges accrued before your Services are terminated. Further, you will not be permitted to re-activate a terminated Services account if you have any outstanding, owed payment obligations, until you repay such obligations (see “Termination”).

f. Taxes; Other Charges

Our posted prices exclude all banking fees, taxes, levies, duties or other like amounts that may be assessed by taxing authorities or any other governmental entity arising as a result of the provision of Services by Funnel to you under this Agreement (excluding only United States income taxes imposed on Funnel). Any such taxes or other charges may be added to your total charges and will be payable by you. In the event you are required to withhold any portion of the Services fees due to payments to banks or taxing authorities, (i) you agree to do so and to indemnify Funnel for any liability resulting from your failure to make (or accurately make) such withholdings, and (ii) Funnel reserves the right to adjust the pricing of the Services so that you are responsible for payment to Funnel of the full amount of the Services, net of any such withholdings. We will communicate any such charges on your invoice, when they become due and payable. If you do not agree to any taxes or other specifically added charges added to your order, do not confirm the order and complete the purchase. For any subscription Services, if you do not agree to any changes in such added charges, your only remedy is to cancel your membership.

During and after the Term of this Agreement, you will not use (except for performance of this Agreement) or disclose any such confidential information to any party without our prior written consent and you will protect such information from public disclosure. You may, however, disclose any such confidential information only to those employees, advisors and agents of yours who have a need to know such information (and only to the extent necessary) in support of your business and who are bound by confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein.

 

f. Termination

In the case of any Services that are provided to you without charge, either party may terminate the Services at any time by notifying the other party by any means. We may take up to thirty (30) days to process your termination notice.

In the case of Services provided for charge, except as may be set forth otherwise in any Addendum hereto or in any Order Form, Funnel may terminate this Agreement for convenience, at any time and without penalty, by providing written mail or email notice to your last provided physical address or email. You may not terminate prior to the expiration of the term of your paid-for Services. As a reminder, any subscription services will automatically renew, unless you provide a written notice of termination to us at least thirty (30) days prior your subscription expiration date (see “Subscription Services”).

In the event you or we terminate your Agreement before the end of your current term, you will be responsible for all charges remaining on your Agreement. All charges remaining on your Agreement shall be due no later than 20 days after the date you communicate your termination to Funnel (“Due Date”), and you authorize Funnel to process payment for all unpaid charges remaining on your Agreement on such Due Date. In the event of any dispute concerning the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including any action instituted to enforce this Fees provision, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to all costs incurred, including collection agency costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.  

In all cases, Funnel may also at its sole option terminate or suspend any and all Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any or no reason, including without limitation if Funnel has a good faith belief that you have (i) breached any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement; (ii)repeatedly or purposefully posted inaccurate or outdated User Information; or (iii) failed to honor appointments booked using the Services. Upon any termination, your right to use the Services and access Content will immediately cease. All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason (i) all licenses granted to you hereunder shall automatically terminate and you will (i) remove any of the Services implemented on your properties, (ii) delete any Funnel Content and Funnel Marks from the same and from your possession and (iii), to the extent applicable, you will either return to Funnel, or destroy and remove from all computers, hard drives, networks, and other storage media, all copies of any materials licensed pursuant to this Agreement and any Funnel Confidential Information in your possession; and upon request you will promptly certify in writing to Funnel that such actions have been taken.

Following any termination of Services, you will remain liable for any obligations incurred or charges accrued prior to the termination. As stated earlier, you will not be permitted to re-activate any terminated Services account (or open a new account) if you or anyone under your control still has a delinquent prior Services account.

Upon termination, we may, but will not be obligated to continue to store any of your User Content and other data relating to your account.

g. Dispute Resolution; Governing Law; Venue

You and Funnel agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Services, this Agreement and any Order Form or other agreement or understanding entered into between you and Funnel will be determined by binding arbitration (or, if we deem the amount to be small enough in small claims court, at our choosing). You agree that, by agreeing this Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Funnel are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your use of or membership to the Services.

To seek arbitration or to file a small claim court action against Funnel, you must first send to Funnel, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim, including a description of the basis for the claim and the relief being sought, to: General Counsel, Funnel, Inc., 16540 Pointe Village Drive, Suite 206 Lutz, FL 33558. If we initiate arbitration, we will send a similar written notice to the email address used for your Services account. Following either party’s receipt of such a written notice, the parties agree to first use reasonable efforts to reach an amicable resolution to the claim. However, if the parties cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the notice is received, you or Funnel may commence an arbitration proceeding (or, at our discretion if we think the matter is small enough, file a claim in small claims court.)

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The arbitrator will be bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues will be for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless the parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the greater Tampa, Florida area.

Further, unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

YOU AND FUNNEL AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

YOU AND FUNNEL FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES OR THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS PERIOD. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.

A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Any cause of action arising out of or related to the Services must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America. Any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be finally settled by the state and federal courts located in the State of Florida. Use of the Services is not authorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation, this section.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties in a manner that complies with applicable law. The remainder of this Agreement, if capable of performance, will remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement and Amendments.

This Agreement, together with any applicable Order Form (if applicable) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, agreements and understandings (oral or written) between the Parties with respect thereto. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and any governing Order the Order Form shall govern.

Waiver.

No waiver of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement, nor consent by a Party to the breach of or departure from any provision of this Agreement, shall in any event be binding on or effective against such Party unless it be in writing and signed by such Party, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it is given.

The cost specifically applicable to your Website Services will be as set forth on your Order Form.

Site Hosting.

Funnel may utilize a third-party provider to host your Funnel Site. We may manage your hosting directly with such provider or we may require that you create a direct account with the provider.

Users of older or less capable browsers or devices may experience a less optimized design and overall experience. Funnel’s website template(s) has not been tested or built for old or abandoned browsers, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or 5.5 for Windows or Mac, previous versions of Apple’s Safari, Mozilla Firefox or Opera. The Funnel Site templates may also not be compatible with all new browsers and devices. Funnel does not guarantee improvements to Customer’s website’s search engine ranking, but the web pages that are developed are accessible to search engines.

Branding

Certain areas of the Funnel Site templates permit branding customization. For clarity, no other branding customization will be facilitated by Funnel. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that we include and require that you maintain certain Funnel co-branding (such as “Powered by Funnel”) on areas of the Funnel Site. You expressly agree not to interfere with or remove any such Funnel co-branding from your Funnel Site and you will comply with any guidelines that we may provide in that respect. You will procure your site domain and provide Funnel with necessary access tools. You will also provide any branding and related creative assets requested by Funnel, as need for Funnel to complete the site template(s). The foregoing will include but may not necessarily be limited elements of text/web copy, high resolution graphics/photos/designs, a logo, and other artwork and information.

Guarantees, License and Limitations

You hereby guarantee to Funnel that all elements of any text, trademarks, or other artwork and information that you provide to us or any of our partners for inclusion in the Funnel Site are either owned by you, or that you have a valid license and permission to allow us to use them and include them within the Funnel Site, as permitted hereunder. You hereby grant to Funnel a royalty-free, worldwide, unrestricted right to use such contents through the relationship of the contract for the purpose of providing the Services.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that Funnel owns and will retain ownership to all code and any site copy that is not provided directly by you and the unique combination of these elements that constitutes a complete design of the Funnel Site templates that we provide to you.

Funnel does not, however, represent or warrant that your Funnel Site will conform to WCAG 2.1, Level A, and you and Funnel agree that Funnel shall not be liable to you for any claim, loss, damage, attorneys’ fees, or costs relating to the conformance to WCAG 2.1, Level A, or alleged accessibility issues with your Funnel Site under any circumstances or legal theory, including, but not limited to, breach of contract, equitable or contractual indemnity, contribution, violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state laws or joint and several liability.

POST TERMINATION; OWNERSHIP

Funnel will use reasonable efforts to maintain and store all core assets that it contributed to the Funnel Site for up to 180 days after contract termination, at which point all assets may be destroyed. You agree to store any of your own creative assets and/or any data that you may derive from your operation of the Funnel Site (solely as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) safely as Funnel is not required to keep or store any of the same.

If Funnel believes, in its sole discretion, that any provision of the Agreement has been violated by you, the licenses granted to you herein may be temporarily or permanently revoked, with or without notice.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.

In addition to all of the other restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement relative to the Services generally, you agree to comply with any instructions and guidelines provided to you by Funnel in conjunction with the API, as they may be updated from time to time.

Funnel will provide a tracking script that needs to be fired, providing Funnel’s listing ID, each time the ‘detail’ view of a provided listing is viewed, both on any internal systems used by Company, and on any public facing webpages or applications where listings are displayed.

For any listings that are contacted through your system, you must provide Funnel a record of the Funnel listing ID via a JSON feed updated no less than daily for the contacted listing, the time of contact, and the type of contact. We may require additional reasonable cooperation from you to facilitate your use of our data via the API as contemplated herein.

If requested by Funnel, you must provide Funnel with valid (and updated) user logins to (i) all systems and products required to feed your User Data to the Funnel API, specifically for Funnel’s use of the same as part of the Services described herein, and (ii) any system or service which you will be pushing any Funnel Content to or using or storing any Funnel Content within.

If any affiliate or third party accesses or uses the API on your behalf (which you will not allow without our express permission), you are responsible for ensuring such third party complies with the provisions of the Agreement at all times while accessing or using the API or any Funnel Content.

In displaying or using data from the API, you alone are responsible to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 – Level A (as published on June 5, 2018 – currently published and available at this URL ) (“WCAG 2.1, Level A”). You and Funnel further agree that Funnel shall not be liable to you for any claim, loss, damage, attorneys’ fees, or costs relating to or arising from your use of the API and conformance to WCAG 2.1, Level A, or alleged accessibility issues under any circumstances or legal theory, including, but not limited to, breach of contract, equitable or contractual indemnity, contribution, violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act or similar state laws or joint and several liability.

CHARGES

You are solely responsible for providing all support and technical assistance to end users of your sites, products and services. You acknowledge and agree that Funnel has no obligation to provide support or technical assistance to the users of your sites, products and services and you shall not represent to any such users that Funnel will provide such support. You agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable support to users of your own sites, products and services.
