10. You must accept consecutive zip codes in all the
areas you request leads. You may of course limit the
areas to which you request we get leads for you but all
zip codes must always be consecutive.
11. You must accept and pay for all leads in the area
you choose to do business. Again you may limit the areas
in which you choose to work. If you receive a lead in an
area outside of your prescribed area you must inform the
company within 3 business days (This is so the lead is
still warm when we verify it and so contact information
is current.) or accept it and pay for it.
12. The Company reserves the right to choose who they
want to do business with and who they don't want to. We
also reserve the right to cut ties with any customer for
any reason no matter how dependent they have become on
us for their means of earning a living. (Logically we
would only do this if we had a reason to.)
13. You grant us permission to use your company logo or
to create on for you whatever we deem best.
14. We warrant that all leads that come from a website
with your company logo on it (that we create or you
allow us to use) exclusively to you.
15. You may pay us by credit card on a real time basis
(that means we will charge your card for leads as they
come in.) or in advance by PayPal or check. If you
choose to pay by checks the check must clear before we
start generating leads for you.
16. A valid lead may consist of only an email
address. Missed calls are considered leads and will be billed at full price as
we can not be responsible for whether you answer your phone or not. We are not
able to inform you of missed calls and are no obligation to do so. All disputes
about quality of leads are handled on a case by case basis. You must inform us
in writing within 3 business days from the date the lead is obtained if there
are any questions. We reserve the right to decline disputes for any reason.
Once you give us your credit card information or pay in advance by another
method we will start generating leads for you until you inform us in writing
that you want us to stop in the case of credit cards or until any used funds
are exhausted if you have paid by another means. In no case will funds paid by
check or PayPal be refunded under any circumstances for any reason other than
that we were not able to obtain leads for you. If you want to stop receiving
leads permanently or for a limited time you must inform 48 hours in advance. As
we have expenses involved in obtaining leads so any failure on your part to
inform us to stop your leads does not constitute reason to not owe us the money
or be billed for it. We have worked to receive it and are not responsible for
your failure to inform us. We reserve the right to cancel your account if you
choose to stop your leads for any reason whatsoever as we have done a lot of
setup work and may need to use the site or sites for a different client to
prevent financial loss. Your doing business with us constitutes acceptance that
we can contact clients on your behalf to set an appointment or verify lead quality
or any other reason. (This is common practice among lead generation companies.)
Missed calls are charged at full price as we have no control over whether you
answer your phone or not. We strongly recommend you hire a competent answering
service as no one can answer their phone 24 hours a day 365 days a year and
leads from the internet can and do come in at any and all times. With
persistence most missed calls can be contacted. If you do not want the work of
pursuing the leads please do not hire us. We are able with paid advertising to
control the hours the campaigns run but we can not control the hours that
search engines display the organic impressions to their searchers. Our prices
include getting paid for these leads too and there is no way to stop them from
coming in. We are not responsible if you don't diligently follow up on the
leads we send you by phone or email. Since the leads either called you on the
telephone or they are sent by both email and text message (providing you have
these services and request it) there can be no valid reason, on our part, for
your not receiving them other than if our equipment is faulty and the leads do
not reach you. In this case you will not be charged but this is extremely
rare. We make no warranties about the amount you may bill a potential customer
that comes from a lead we generate. You’re not trying to contact or not being
able to contact any lead does not constitute grounds for non payment or a
refund for that lead. Not getting the job does not constitute grounds for non
payment or to request a refund for any lead. Sometimes people hire someone very
quickly so if you delay in contacting a lead they may have hired someone else.
Although we don't send leads to more than one client people have other sources
of leads and obviously may hire from those other sources.
Tax
Resolution/Relief/Settlement/Other Tax Debt Related Services: In the case of
tax resolution, tax debt settlement, tax relief and/or other tax debt related
services it is our goal to provide the highest quality of leads. Our expenses
for advertising are high in this market. We do our best to target customers
that owe the minimum amount you request but we cannot guarantee that all leads
will meet these minimum requests. We find this balances out over time as many
owe tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even more in tax debt. (Please
remember we do not charge extra for leads with extremely high amounts of debt.)
There are times people are not honest in initial contacts due to embarrassment
and really owe more than they say they do. Also many times when back taxes are
reviewed and/or prepared or the IRS does an audit or due to other means it
turns out that more is owed than initially thought or expressed. Penalties and
interest accrue rapidly so at times, what is not initially over a requested
minimum amount soon is. When a person owes less than the amount you request it
is still considered to be a lead and will be billed in full unless other
arrangements are made. In the event that some leads do not meet the minimum
desired amount of debt you must view that as a cost of doing business with The
Company. We are reasonable people, want your business and to have satisfied
clients so we are willing to discuss each case in regard to the minimum amount
a lead generated by us owes the IRS and/or state. We would appreciate that
leads that meet 80% of the minimum you requested to not be discussed. Under no
circumstances will leads be credited or refunded if client has agreed to
possibly do business with the lead, the potential customer.
17. All leads are generated on the internet and are
highly targeted to people only searching for exactly
what you have asked to get for you. Usually these leads
come from intensely interested people. If for some
reason you do get a lead that is not what you have asked
us to generate reasonable proof for this will be
accepted. You will find us reasonable to deal with on
this account as we ONLY WANT SATISFIED CUSTOMERS. If we
are not able to satisfy you with the quality leads you
want we may be forced to cut ties with you and find
someone else whose expectations we can
meet. The price of the leads includes the fact that not
all will be able to be contacted by you (Some hire
someone else immediately. At times not contacting a lead
may be due to missed calls or a lack of follow up things
over which we have no control.) therefore there is no
reason to ever request a charge back on your credit card
or request a refund for a check that has cleared other
than if the information entered into the contact form
was not a real a person. Reasonable proof for false
information entered into a form will always be accepted
(we reserve the right to verify this) as we only want to
get paid for valid leads and we are concerned with
maintaining a good relationship with you and having only
satisfied customers.
18. a.
You accept in the interests of increasing the numbers of
leads we can generate for you we will most likely offer
a free report in exchange for an email address. You will
find that these reports offer valuable information to
your perspective clients and will build trust between
you and them and help you to increase your closing ratio
and do business with them. Much as a free trial with any
service does.
b. Trials are always limited with seasonal
businesses and expensive markets (The company determines
what it deems to be expensive) and maybe in any market
for any reason we see fit.
19. The right and title to the domain name and company
name we choose to use to generate leads is our property
no matter how much your business comes to depend on our
services.
20. After any the trial period ends we will need your
correct name, address and credit card number so we can
bill you. We will not do business with anyone who will
not truthfully provide this information for us.
21. Your acceptance of our free trail and hiring us to
do business with you constitutes permission for us to
create and put into to service as many web sites as we
deem necessary to generate the maximum number of leads
for you in the area you request. These web sites are and
forever will remain our exclusive property as long as we
so choose no matter how much the success of your
business depends on them. You agree to be bound by all
the terms and conditions on such site that apply to you.
Any costs that we incur due to any and all violations of
the terms and conditions will be paid by you along with
any legal and court fees necessary to collect them. No
lead fee will be charged for a customer that uses the
website to contact you to simply get in touch with you
for a job that came from a lead you already paid for. If
a customer requests a different service a separate lead
fee will be charged.
22. Your acceptance of our free trial and hiring us to
do business with you also constitutes permission for us
to use a call tracking phone number that will be
forwarded to any phone you choose. You must provide a
phone number for us to forward calls to or we cannot do
business with you. You grant us permission to tape any
and all calls that are received on the tracking number.
This how we track leads that come by phone and allows
you to know how your staff is handling those calls. We
recommend you inform your staff they are being taped.
The tracking number is and forever will remain our
exclusive property as long as we so choose no matter how
much the success of your business depends on it. You
should not and do not have permission to give it out to
your customers. If you do you will be charged the price
of a lead for anyone you give it to. If we incur other
charges because you give that number to others you will
be obligated to pay those charges and any legal and
court fees that we incur in collecting them form you. If
customers use the number on that site to continually
contact you any telephone charges we incur may be
charged to you. No lead fee will be charged for a
customer that use tat number to simply get in touch with
you for a job that cam from a lead you already paid for.
If a customer requests a different service another lead
fee will b charged.
23. You may not use the information provided by The
Company to send SPAM. You agree to familiarize yourself
with all SPAM laws and abide by them. If the information
we provide you is used for the purposes of SPAM we
reserve the right to cut ties with you at any time
without notice. You agree to provide an unsubscribe
link, or other legal way for any perspective customers
or actual customers you obtain in any way through the
use of our services. YOU MUST INFORM THE COMPANY OF ANY
ALL PARTIES THAT UNSUBSCRIBE. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE US
THIS INFORMATION IN THE CASE WE NEED TO CONTACT THEM AND
ALL LEGAL FEES THAT RESULT FROM ANY ACTION THAT TAKE
WILL BE PAID BY YOU.
24. Under this Agreement, The Company agrees to provide
to you, and you agree to purchase from The Company, the
product or service described in your Order Form. You
also agree to pay the purchase price, if applicable,
shown on The Company website for the product or service
that you have ordered. If you have purchased a product
or service for which there is an on going subscription
or other fee, you agree to pay that fee for so long as
you continue to use The Company product or service. You
may cancel The Company product or service at any time by
sending an email to The Company at
leads@tax-leads.com, after which you will not
be charged any further fees for ongoing use of The
Company product or service. Your obligation to purchase
and pay for also applies to any of The Company's product
and services that are offered to you as a “trial offer”
unless and until you cancel your use of those products
or services. If you have agreed to a long-term
subscription of a product or service the cancellation
option does not apply.
25. Any of The Company's publications and any
newsletters and other materials that you may receive
from The Company as part of The Company Service
(collectively, “The Company Materials”) are the
exclusive property of The Company and are protected by
copyright and other applicable laws. The Company
Materials are for your own personal use, and you cannot
copy any portion of The Company Materials without the
written permission of The Company or distribute
additional copies of The Company Materials to others.
26. The Company may offer you various discounts, savings
and other benefits on other products or services of The
Company or its affiliates in connection with your
purchase of The Company Publications or The Company
Services. The Company does not guarantee the
availability of particular discounts, savings or other
benefits other than listed on The Company web site or
otherwise in writing on specific products or services,
and any discounts, savings or benefits are subject to
change, time limits and conditions as may be determined
by The Company in its discretion from time to time. No
additional fees will be charged without notice.
26. The Company's products or services and The Company

your purchase and use of The Company products or

27. The Company may offer a time-limited, money-back
guarantee or trial offer on some of The Company's
products and/or services. If there is a guarantee or
trial period applicable to The Company products or
service that you have purchased, that guarantee is as

With our lead generation service the trial period, if
applicable, starts when you receive your first lead. If
during the time-limited period of your Guarantee period
you are not satisfied with The Company product or
service you purchased, The Company will refund the
purchase price to you (If applicable). This is your sole
and exclusive remedy against The Company and The
Company’s sole and exclusive liability and obligation to
you in connection with your purchase of any The Company
products services or anything arising out of or relating
to that purchase or this Agreement.

The Company's Anti-Spam
Policy
The Company is committed
to permission-based email marketing practices, and as a
result has established this no-tolerance Anti-Spam
Policy. The Company will occasionally update this Anti-Spam
Policy.
1. Spam is commercial
email or unsolicited bulk email, including “junk mail”,
which has not been requested by the recipient. It is
intrusive and often irrelevant or offensive, and it wastes
valuable resources. Spam messages are the opposite of
permission-based email, which are normally anticipated,
personal, relevant and/or associated with a pre-existing
business or personal relationship. Inappropriate newsgroup
activities, consisting of excessive posting of the same
materials to several newsgroups, are also deemed to be spam.
2.Preventing Spam.
Customers of The Company's products and services have agreed
during their registration process, upon accepting the Terms
of Use, to comply with this Anti-Spam Policy. Specifically,
each customer agrees not to use The Company products or
services to send unsolicited email or bulk email, whether or
not for commercial purposes. The Company reserves the right
to determine in its sole discretion what constitutes
actionable spam, as well as what measures are necessary in
response to such spam activities.
3.
How The Company Helps You to Avoid Spamming. The
Company has developed its Internet marketing tools to
incorporate a strict permission-based philosophy. This
anti-spam philosophy is implemented through the following:
a. Communication and
Agreement – The Terms of Use that you have agreed to as part
of registering for The Company's products and services state
how and for what purposes you can collect your site visitor
addresses, and that you will follow The Company Privacy
Policy and Anti-Spam Policy.
b. Each email created
using The Company products contains an “unsubscribe
link”. If your web site visitors use the link to request
that they be unsubscribed, your subscriber lists will
automatically be adjusted to eliminate the prospect of
sending unwanted email to such persons. Additionally, each
person on your subscriber list has the option of
unsubscribing through a web-based method provided on The
Company web site. Customers of The Company who try to
remove the unsubscribe link will be warned that they are
doing so, and if they persist in having the link removed or
deactivated in any way, then The Company will have the right
to terminate their account.
c. Purchased Mailing Lists
- Mass mailings to purchased email lists are not
allowed. The Company only allows opt-in mailing
lists. Purchased or inherited lists are by definition not
opt-in. Similarly, you cannot use an email list relating to
particular subject matter, and then use it for an unrelated
topic.
4.Laws
Restricting Spam. Spam laws vary from state to state, and
from country to country. This Company's Anti-Spam Policy has
been developed to conform to the highest commercially
reasonable standards. As a result, and without limiting the
general prohibitions against all spam activities, the
following are expressly prohibited:
a. Use of false headers,
or other false information, to identify the point of origin
or the transmission path of the email, or to hide the true
origin of the email sender,
b. Unauthorized use of a
third party’s internet domain name without the permission of
such third party, to make it appear that the third party was
the point of origin of the email,
c. Use of any false or
misleading information in the subject line of the email, and
d. Assisting any person in
using the products or services of The Company for any of
these previously mentioned activities.
5.
Questions to Ask Yourself
To help in establishing
whether you are participating in activities constituting
spam, ask yourself the following questions:
a. Are you sending email
to non-specific addresses, such as info@domain.com or sales@domain.com?
b. Have you deliberately
falsified your transmission path information or originating
address?
c. Are you sending email
to mailing lists or distribution lists, which then send
indirectly to various other email addresses?
d. Have you imported for
use a purchased list of any type?
e. Are you continuing to
mail to anyone who has asked to be deleted from your mailing
list?
f. Does your email not
provide a fully functioning link to unsubscribe?
g. Does you email subject
line contain false or misleading information?
h. Have you used a third
party’s email address or domain name without the party’s
consent?
If you answer yes to any
of these questions, you are likely involved in spam
activities.
6.
Measures to Enforce the Anti-Spam Policy
Any of The Company's
customers found to be using The Company products or services
for spamming purposes may, at The Company’s discretion, be
immediately cut off from use of all The Company products and
services and/or fined US$ 1,000 per occurrence, with no
refund of fees that have been paid.
The Company warns all
of its customers when signing up that if they participate in
spamming activities they will be subject to the loss of The
Company's services, fines and possible legal action.
The Company has the right
to actively review its customers’ subscriber lists and email
for suspiciously large broadcasts. If The Company finds any
customers to be spamming, it may issue a warning or reserves
the right if the activities are serious enough to take
action immediately if it deems necessary. Such action may
include but is not limited to disabling the customer’s
account and/or reporting the customer and the incident to
the proper authorities.
The Company does not
attempt to censor any content, nor to curtail the business
of its customers. However, spam activities do not fall
within uses authorized by The Company, and will not be
tolerated.
7.If you believe that you have received spam from or
through The Company’s facilities, please send a complaint
from your email account along with the unsolicited email,
with completed header, to leads@tax-leads.com. Please
provide any other information that you believe may help us
in our investigation. The Company does not investigate or
take any action based on “anonymous” spam complaints.
8.False Spam Complaints. The Company supports the
efforts of various organizations working to responsibly
eliminate spam activities. However, if an individual has
opted-in to receive email from a customer of The Company,
and then falsely or maliciously files a spam complaint
against The Company or its customers, The Company will
cooperate fully with the appropriate agencies to ban the
complainant from use of anti-spam software and the Internet
community.

inform and obtain the consent of the customer, such as in
connection with an investigation of a breach of an
agreement, contravention of laws, an emergency where the
life, health or security of an individual is threatened, the
collection of a debt or in compliance with the request of a
law enforcement agency or a court order.
A customer may withdraw
his or her consent for use and disclosure at any time by
sending an email to Lead@tax-leads.com. Please
note that, if you do, The Company may suspend its provision
of products and services to you.

Accountability
The Company may collect,
at the time of your registration and/or your sign-on to its
web site, certain “personal information” (information that
personally identifies you) including but not limited to your
name, email address, home or work address, telephone number,
and information about your computer hardware and software
(e.g., IP address, operating system, browser type, domain
name, URL, access times, and referring web site addresses).
The Company has
implemented this Privacy Policy to protect personal
information received from its customers, and to respond to
any inquiries. The Privacy Policy also provides that The
Company will use appropriate contractual means to establish
a comparable level of protection for personal information
which is sent for processing by third parties on The
Company's behalf.
The Company has designated
responsibility for your personal information to its Privacy
Officer, who ensures compliance with the principles in this
Privacy Policy. Other individuals may be delegated to act on
behalf of the Privacy Officer.
3. Purposes

The Company collects and
uses personal information for the following Identified
Purposes:
(a) to understand customer
needs regarding The Company's services;
(b) to develop and provide
our web site and our products and services for our
customers;

and third parties;
(e) to allow customers to
access limited-entry areas of The Company's site;
(f) to personalize some of
our services and products for you and to deliver targeted
advertisements and offers from The Company and third

applicable law, regulation, legal process or government
request;

legitimate claim, or to address our reasonable belief, that
you are violating the rights of any third party or any of
the agreements or policies that govern your use of The
Company site or any of The Company's products or services;
(i) to protect the
services, products or rights of The Company, including but
not limited to the security or integrity of The Company

The Company also uses
personal information in an aggregate form (i.e., not
individually attributable to you) for its business analysis,
operational, marketing and other promotional purposes.
If we hire other companies
to provide some products or services on our behalf, then we
will only provide those companies the personal information
they need for the Identified Purposes, and we will limit
their rights to use and further disclose your personal
information as appropriate in the course of their work for
us.
4. Limiting
the Collection of Personal Information
The Company limits its
collection of personal information to only that information
which is necessary for the Identified Purposes. The Company
does not direct its site to, nor does it knowingly collect
any personal information from children under the age of
thirteen.
When you visit The Company
web site, a cookie may be placed on your computer or the
cookie may be read if you have visited The Company site
previously. The Company uses cookies to allow The Company to
determine which products and services you have already
purchased so that The Company does not provide redundant
information to you, and, if you are an affiliate of The
Company, to track The Company sales made to customers
referred by you so that you can receive compensation under
our affiliate program. If you choose to not have your
browser accept cookies from The Company web site, you may
not be able to view all the text on the screens, or to
experience a personalized visit, or to subscribe to certain
service and product offerings on The Company site.
5.
Disclosure, Processing and Retention
The Company does not sell,
rent or disclose your personal information to anyone else,
except:
(a) to someone you have
designated to act as your agent, for one or more of the
Identified Purposes (listed in Section 2, above);
(b) to The Company's
employees, independent contractors, subsidiaries,
affiliates, consultants, business associates, service
providers, suppliers and agents, acting on The Company's
behalf for any of the Identified Purposes;
(c) as necessary if The
Company has reason to believe that disclosure is necessary
to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
who may be causing injury to or interference (either
intentionally or unintentionally) with The Company's rights
or property, other users of The Company's web site, products
or services, or anyone else that could be harmed by such
activities; and
(d) to respond to judicial
process and provide information to law enforcement agencies
or in connection with an investigation on matters related to
public safety, as permitted by law, or otherwise as required
by law.
In addition, as we
continue to develop our business, we or our affiliates may
sell or buy other businesses or entities, or we may merge
with another company. In such transactions, personal
information may be one of the transferred business assets.
Also, in the event that The Company or substantially all of
its assets are acquired, your personal information may be
one of the transferred assets.
Your information may be
stored and processed in the United States, or in any other
country in which The Company or its affiliates, subsidiaries
or agents maintain facilities. By using this web site, you
consent to any such transfer of information outside of your
country.
After your account becomes
inactive (that is, if you request to be removed from our
database), The Company will keep your personal information
in its archives. Your information will then be used only as
necessary for tax reasons or to prove The Company's
compliance with any applicable law.
6. Accuracy
of Personal Information
The Company will use
reasonable efforts to keep customer personal information
accurate for the Identified Purposes, and for minimizing the
possibility of making inappropriate customer decisions based
on such information. Customers are responsible for informing
The Company about changes to their personal information. You
can do this by sending an email. The Company will use new or
updated personal information it receives from customers to
update its own records.
7. Security
Safeguards
The Company will use
reasonable efforts to protect customers' personal
information.
8. Access
to Personal Information
The Company will afford
you a reasonable opportunity to review the personal
information in your file, if you so request by email.
If The Company is not able
to provide access to some aspect of a customer's personal
information, it will provide reasons for denying access such
as; that by doing so would likely reveal personal
information about a third party, or that it is confidential
commercial information or attorney-client privileged
communications, or that the information relates to a breach
of an agreement or a contravention of law, or that its
disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the life
or security of another individual.
Customers have the right
to request that inaccurate or incomplete information be
amended as appropriate, by contacting The Company or the
Privacy Officer as described above. The Company will
promptly correct such personal information.
Your use of our services
will require you to disclose certain personal information
about yourself and the services you require. Upon entering
this information it will be used by us our employees or
clients that will need this information to contact or
respond to you, other persons or entities in regard to our
business. By calling, providing your contact information or
filling out a contact form requesting that we contact you,
you expressly consent to being contacted by us and our
client Secured Lock and Key by means of telephone, fax,
email, mail and other reasonable means, at the contact
numbers, email address and/or address you have provided.
This applies even if you are listed on any federal, state,
provincial or other applicable "Do Not Call" list. This is
necessary to provide the services you requested on this web
site.
