RELEASE OF LIABILITY
CLIENT acknowledges the following with respect to services:
IYBS Local has no control over the policies of search engines with respect to the type of websites and/or content they accept now or in the future. The CLIENT’s website may be excluded from any directory at any time at the sole discretion of the search engine or directory.

  • Due to the competitiveness of some keywords/phrases, ongoing changes in search engine ranking algorithms and other competitive factors, IYBS Local does not guarantee #1 position or consistent top 10 positions for any particular keyword, phrase or search term.
  • Due to the unpredictable nature of search engines, the IYBS Local is not responsible for any loss of revenue due to the ranking or placement or the lack of such for the CLIENT’s website within the search engines.
  • IYBS Local is not responsible for changes made to the Web site by other parties that adversely affect the search engine rankings of the CLIENT’s Web site.
  • IYBS Local is not responsible for other parties overwriting SEO work on CLIENT’s site (e.g. CLIENT’s webmaster making changes and uploading over work already provided). The CLIENT will be charged an additional fee for re-constructing Meta Tags, or other undesirable overwrites made by another party.
  • CLIENT guarantees any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork provided to the IYBS Local for inclusion on the website or marketing materials, are owned by CLIENT, or that the CLIENT has received permission from the rightful owner(s) to use each of the elements. The CLIENT will hold harmless, protect, and defend the IYBS Local and its subcontractors from any liability or suit arising from the use of such elements.
  • Some search engines, directories, and article/press release publication sites may take as long as 3 to 6 months, and in some cases longer, after submission to list your site or publish the submitted content. Occasionally, search engines and publication sites will stop accepting submissions for an indefinite period of time. The CLIENT understands that although work will be done to publish content, and submit their business into online directories, publication of content and successful directory submissions are not guaranteed.
  • Links that have been built to the CLIENTs website are not guaranteed to last forever. The lifetime or duration of a link built to the CLIENT’s website is dependent on the webmaster of the corresponding webpage containing the back-link and the search engines decision to index the page containing the back-link. The IYBS Local will make its best effort to build links that will last longer, as opposed to shorter. When links built to the CLIENT’s website are documented on the work report, the IYBS Local does not hold liability or responsibility for links that are no longer active or for broken links.
  • Certain factors can take a website offline or tell the search engines to not index a particular website or webpage. If a website goes offline or is de-indexed by the searched engines because of malware, a virus, robots txt, or another miscellaneous reason, the IYBS Local does not hold liability for this.
  • Not all components of the marketing campaign are reportable. The CLIENT agrees not to hold The IYBS Local liable for such line items in which no work report is provided.
  • IYBS Local’s obligation to perform Services hereunder shall be excused without liability when prevented by strike, act of God, governmental action, accident, act of war, act of terrorism or any other similar condition that is beyond its reasonable control. CLIENT’s obligation to pay any fees shall continue except during any suspension due to IYBS Local’s inability to perform under the Agreement/s.
  • IYBS Local’s obligation to perform Services hereunder shall be excused without liability when CLIENT does not perform in accordance with CLIENT’s obligations under the Agreement/s. The IYBS Local agrees to resume performance of Services as soon as practicable following cessation of such condition.
  • IYBS Local makes no representations or warranties, whether written, oral, express or implied, with respect to the services, including, without limitation, all reports, summaries, information or recommendations prepared or issued, or additional services, if any, or with respect to any other matter hereunder. Each party hereby expressly disclaims any and all implied warranties.
  • Limitations of liability and damages. In no event shall either party be liable, whether in contract or in tort, for any lost profits, lost savings, lost data, lost or damaged software, or any other special, indirect, consequential, incidental, or punitive damages arising out of the agreement/s, regardless of whether such party had notice of the possibility of any such loss or damage; provided, however, that the limitations in this paragraph shall not apply to either party’s indemnification obligations or breach of the contract terms.
