Subscription Agreement Terms and Conditions 

 

1. We may revise these Subscription Terms or any additional terms and conditions that are relevant to a particular Inception Service from time to time to reflect changes in the law or to the Services.

IF YOU CONTINUE TO USE THE SERVICES AFTER THE REVISIONS TAKE EFFECT, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE REVISED TERMS. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification of the Subscription Terms.

3. Customer agrees not to release any trade secrets or confidential information of any kind from Company to any other party unless compelled by court order. The customer expressly agrees that this condition shall survive termination of the Terms and/or the Subscription Terms. 

 

4. Company accepts no responsibility for policies of PPC Advertising Networks, third-party search engines, directories, or other websites (“Third-Party Resources”) that the Company may submit to with respect to the classification or type of content it accepts, whether now or in the future. The customer’s website or content may be excluded or banned from any Third-Party Resource at any time. Customer agrees not to hold Company responsible for any liability or actions taken by Third-Party Resources under this Agreement. 

 

5. Customer acknowledges that the nature of many of the resources the Company may employ are competitive in nature.

12.Disputes  

 

“Disputes” are defined as any claim, controversy, or dispute between you and Inception, its processors, suppliers, or licensors (or their respective affiliates, agents, directors, or employees), whether arising before or during the effective period of these Terms or Subscription Terms, and including any claim, controversy, or dispute based on any conduct of you or Inception that occurred before the effective date of these Terms or Subscription Terms, including any claims relating in any way to these Terms, Subscription Terms, or the Services, or any other aspect of our relationship. 

 

 

  1. Binding Individual Arbitration

 

  1. General.  You agree that any and all Disputes between you and Inception, except those that are resolved informally, through mediation, or brought in a small claims court, will be arbitrated by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same individual damages and individual relief that a court can.  ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE GENERAL TERMS WILL ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.  YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST INCEPTION.  If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class or representative arbitration). 

 

  1. Pre-Filing Requirement to Attempt to Resolve Disputes.  Before an arbitration is commenced, you or Inception agree to attempt to avoid the costs of formal dispute resolution by giving each other a full and fair opportunity to address and resolve a Dispute informally.  Both parties recognize that this is an important requirement, and that breach of this requirement would be a material breach of the Terms and Subscription Terms.  To provide this opportunity, before commencing any arbitration or suit, each party agrees to send to the other party a written Notice (“Notice”).  Any Notice to Inception should be sent by mail to 1700 Sand Acres Drive, De Pere, Wisconsin 54115.  Any Notice sent to you will be sent to the email address on file for your account.  The Notice must:  (i) include your name and account number; (ii) provide detailed information sufficient to evaluate the merits of the claiming party’s individualized claim and for the other party to determine if an amicable resolution is possible; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought, including whatever amount of money is demanded and the means by which the demanding party calculated the claimed damages.  Both parties agree that they will attempt to resolve a dispute through an informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice is sent.  After that sixty (60) day period and not before, either party may commence arbitration.  Each party agrees that state courts in Brown County, Wisconsin, or federal court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, referenced below, may enter injunctive relief to enforce the pre-filing requirements of this paragraph, including an injunction to stay an arbitration that has been commenced in violation of this paragraph. 

 

  1. Scope of Arbitration.  If we are not able to resolve the Dispute by informal negotiation or, as provided below, in a small claims court, all Disputes will be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) administered by the American Arbitration Association (https://www.adr.org) according to this Section and the Commercial Arbitration Rules for that forum, except you and Inception will have the right to file early or summary dispositive motions and to request that the AAA’s Expedited Procedures apply regardless of the claim amount.  Except as set forth above, the Arbitrator shall be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms or Subscription Terms (or any aspect thereof) are enforceable, unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay laches, or estoppel. 

 

  1. Small Claims Court.  Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, either party may elect to pursue a Dispute in the small-claims court in Brown County, Wisconsin rather than through arbitration so long as the matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual basis.  If a party has already submitted an arbitration demand to the AAA, the other party may, in its sole discretion, inform the AAA that it chooses to have the Dispute heard in small claims court.  At that time, the AAA will close the arbitration and the Dispute will be heard in the Brown County, Wisconsin small claims court, with no fees due from the arbitration respondent. 

 

  1. Arbitration Procedures. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, including its procedural provisions, fully applies.  Any arbitration hearing shall occur in Green Bay, Wisconsin, or, if both parties agree, by telephone or videoconference.  The Arbitrator’s award will be binging on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Inception values your privacy, particularly with respect to your financial transactions and data.  Each of the parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration and shall not (without the prior written consent of the other party) disclose to any third party the fact, existence, content, award, or other result of the arbitration, except as may be necessary to enforce, enter, or challenge such award in a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required by applicable law.  While an arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, the Arbitrator may do so only with respect to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual party’s claim.  The Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect. 

 

  1. Arbitration Fees. In accordance with the AAA Rules, the party initiating the arbitration (either you or us) is responsible for paying the applicable filing fee.  For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and Inception also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of the Services. 

 

  1. Opt Out.  You may reject this provision, in which case only a court may be used to resolve any Dispute.  To reject this provision, you must send us an opt-out notice containing your name, address, phone number and the email address(es) you used to sign up and use the Services (the “Opt Out Notice”) within thirty (30) days after you create an Inception account or we first provide you with the right to reject this provision.  This is the only way of opting out of this provision.  Opting out will not affect any other aspect of the General Terms or the Services and will have no effect on any other aspect of the General Terms or the Services and will have no effect on other or future agreements you may reach to arbitrate with us. 

 

  1. Court Proceedings.  Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions as discussed above) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts in Brown County, Wisconsin, or federal court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. 

 

14. You agree to receive all communications, agreements, and notices that we provide in connection with any Services (“Communications”), including, but not limited to, Communications related to our delivery of the Services and your purchase of or subscription to the Services, via electronic means, including by e-mail, text, in-product notifications, or by posting them on Inception’s web site or through any Services communication system. You agree that all communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing or be delivered in a particular manner and you agree to keep your account contact information current. 

 

  1. 15. Payment Terms

 

15.1 Subscription Plan. The prices, features, and options of the Services depend on the Subscription Plan selected as well as any changes instigated by the Customer. Inception does not represent or warrant that a particular Subscription Plan will be offered indefinitely and reserves the right to change the prices for or alter the features and options in a particular Subscription Plan at any time. 

 

15.2 No Refunds. Customer will timely pay Inception all fees associated with its Subscription Plan, account, or use of the Inception Services, including, but without limitation, by authorized users. CUSTOMER’S PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS. Charges for pre-paid Subscription Plans will be billed to Customer in advance. Charges for Subscription Plans will be billed in arrears and renewed according to the information in this document unless otherwise specified in the Subscription Plan. 

 

15.3 Recurring Charges. When you purchase a Subscription Plan, you must provide accurate and complete information for a valid payment method that you are authorized to use. You will be billed for your Subscription through the payment method you provide. Customer must promptly notify Inception of any change in its invoicing address and must update its account with any changes related to its payment method. BY COMPLETING REGISTRATION FOR A SUBSCRIPTION PLAN, CUSTOMER AUTHORIZES INCEPTION OR ITS AGENT TO CHARGE ITS PAYMENT METHOD ON A RECURRING (E.G. MONTHLY OR YEARLY) BASIS (“AUTHORIZATION”) FOR: (a) THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION PLAN CHARGES; (b) ANY AND ALL APPLICABLE TAXES; AND (c) ANY OTHER CHARGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH CUSTOMER’S USE OF THE INCEPTION SERVICES. The Authorization continues through the applicable Subscription Term and any Renewal Term (as defined in Section 16, below) until Customer cancels as set forth in Section 17.3 of these Terms. 

 

15.4 Late Fees & Collection Costs. If Inception does not receive payment from Customer’s payment method, Customer agrees to pay all amounts due upon demand. Any amount not paid when due will be subject to finance charges equal to 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, determined and compounded daily from the date due until the date paid. Customer will reimburse any costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Inception to collect any amount that is not paid when due. Inception may accept payment in any amount without prejudice to Inception’s right to recover the balance of the amount due or to pursue any other right or remedy. Amounts due to Inception may not be withheld or offset by Customer for any reason against amounts due or asserted to be due from Inception. 

 

15.5 Invoices. Inception will provide billing and usage information in a format we choose, which may change from time to time. Inception reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it identifies even if it has already issued an invoice or received payment. Customer agrees to notify us about any billing problems or discrepancies within thirty (30) days after they first appear on your invoice. If Customer does not bring such problems/discrepancies to our attention within thirty (30) days, it agrees to waive its right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. 

 

15.6 Billing Cycles. Billing cycle end dates may change from time to time. Customer agrees that we may (at our option) accumulate charges incurred during a billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of a cycle, and that we may delay obtaining authorization or payment from Customer’s payment card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s). 

 

15.7 Tax Responsibility. All payments required by these Terms are stated exclusive of all taxes, duties, levies, imposts, fines, or similar governmental assessments, including sales and use taxes, value-added taxes (“VAT”), goods and services taxes (“GST”), excise, business, service, and similar transactional taxes imposed by any jurisdiction and the interest and penalties thereon, excluding taxes based on Inception’s net income (collectively, “Taxes”). Customer shall be responsible for and bear Taxes associated with its purchase of, payment for, access to or use of the Inception Services. Where the responsibility to remit Taxes falls upon Inception, the Taxes will be added to the payment and payable to Inception at the same time as the payment. Taxes shall not be deducted from the payments to Inception except as required by law, in which case Customer shall increase the amount payable as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings, Inception receives and retains (free from any Tax liability) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Customer hereby confirms that Inception can rely on the name and address set forth in its registration for a Subscription Plan as being the place of supply for Tax purposes. 

 

  1. 16. Data. You shall be responsible for data that you provide or use in Inception. You are solely responsible for determining the suitability of the Services for your business or organization and complying with any regulations, laws, or conventions applicable to the data you provide and your use of the Inception Services and website.

 

  1. 17. Term. The period of effectiveness of these Terms, (“Subscription Terms and Policies”), with respect to Inception Services, begins on the date the Customer accepts it and continues until the Customer’s Subscription Plan expires or its use of the Inception Services ceases (including as a result of termination in accordance with this Section 17.3), whichever is later.

 

17.1 Subscription Term and Automatic Renewals. Inception’s Subscription Plans for Conversion Optimized Websites, Website Maintenance, and SEO Optimization consists of a 3-month term.  Conversion Optimized Websites, Website Maintenance, and SEO Optimization automatically renew for 1-month terms after the initial 3-month agreement unless otherwise noted. Subscription plans for Facebook Advertising, Google Ads Advertising, Reputation Management, and Client Success Dashboard have a term of 3 months and automatically renew for 1 month terms unless otherwise noted. If you purchase a Subscription Plan you agree to pay the then-current applicable fee associated with the Subscription Plan and further agree and acknowledge that it will automatically renew, unless, prior to the end of the current period Inception receives notice of cancellation described in Section 17.3. 

 

17.2We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or otherwise amend the fees and features associated with your Subscription Plan. We may also recommend that you purchase a new Subscription Plan that is comparable to your previous Subscription Plan that is ending. Before we change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges, we will provide you reasonable advance notice, such notice being reasonable in our sale discretion.  If we provide you such advance notice, your continued use of the Inception Services after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. If you do not wish to continue subscribing with the new fees or features, you may terminate your Subscription Plan as described in Section 17.3. If you accept the new Subscription Plan, its terms and conditions with these Terms will apply in the Renewal Term and thereafter. 

 

17.3 Termination by Customer. You may terminate your Account at any time after the initial 3 month period upon thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Inception.  If you wish to terminate, you must provide notice by contacting us here: (support@InceptionOnlineMarketing.com). Inception has no obligation to consider refund requests related to a termination of a Subscription Plan if there has been a violation of other Subscription Terms herein, or if records indicate substantial productive use took place during Customer’s use of the Services. 

 

17.4Default; Termination by Inception Online Marketing. A Customer will be in default of these Subscription Terms if: (a) it fails to timely pay any amount owed to us; (b) it or an authorized user associated with its account breaches any provision of these Subscription Terms or violates any policy applicable to the Inception; (c) it is or becomes subject to any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or similar laws; or (d) if, in our sole discretion, we believe that continued use of the Inception Services by the Customer (or its authorized users or signers) creates legal risk for Inception or presents a threat to the security of the Services or Inception’s customers. If you are in default, we may, without notice: (i) suspend your account and use of the Services; (ii) terminate your account; (iii) charge reactivation fees in order to reactivate your account; and (iv) pursue any other remedy available to us.

  1. 20. California Businesses.  If you are a “Business” as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, Cal. Civ. Code §100 et seq., (“CCPA”) then this Section 23 applies to you.  For purposes of this Section 23, “process”, “sell”, and “business purposes(s)” have the meaning ascribed to them by the CCPA.

 

21.Independent Allocations of Risk. Each provision of these Terms and Subscription Terms that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages represents an agreed allocation of the risks of these Terms and Subscription Terms between the parties. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of these Terms and Subscription Terms, and each of these provisions will apply even if the warranties in these Terms and Subscription Terms have failed of their essential purpose. 

 

22.Assignability. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms, Subscription Terms or Policies without Inception’s prior written consent. If consent is given, these Terms, Subscription Terms or Policies will bind your successors and assigns. Any attempt by you to transfer your rights, duties, or obligations under these Terms, Subscription Terms or Policies except as expressly provided in these Terms, Subscription Terms or Policies is void. Inception may freely assign its rights, duties, and obligations under these Terms, Subscription Terms or Policies. 

 

23.Force Majeure. Except for any payment obligations, neither you nor Inception will be liable for failure to perform any obligation under these Terms, Subscription Terms or Policies to the extent such failure is caused by a force majeure event (including acts of God, natural disasters, war, civil disturbance, action by governmental entity, strike, pandemics, epidemics, and other causes beyond the party’s reasonable control). The party affected by the force majeure event will provide notice to the other party within a commercially reasonable time and will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable. Obligations not performed due to a force majeure event will be performed as soon as reasonably possible when the force majeure event concludes.
