  7. Products

    1. Broad Match Keyword ‐ Provider will design and maintain an ad that is triggered by a Broad Match
      Keyword on Google™. Pricing varies according to the specific keyword and numerous other factors, and
      the price quoted is meant to represent Provider’s best estimate of the cost to maintain the ad. Broad
      Match Keywords are inherently unpredictable and therefore Provider makes no guarantee that any ad
      will appear at any given time or to the exact positioning of any ad, or the length of time an ad will
      consistently appear during a time period. The set of Search Phrases that trigger a Broad Match Keyword
      are dynamic and can change at any time, therefore Provider makes no guarantee that a Search Phrase
      will continue to trigger an ad.
    2. Budgeted Broad Match Keyword ‐ A Broad Match Keyword as described above with the exception that
      pricing is based not on Provider’s estimate of the cost to maintain the ad at all times but on a budget
      requested by Client. Provider will provide maximum coverage for that budget.
    3. Exact Match Keyword ‐ Provider will design and maintain an ad that is triggered by an Exact Match
      Keyword on Google™ and will guarantee placement on the first page at all times, notwithstanding
      technical difficulties beyond Provider’s reasonable control, such as those caused by an ISP, the Client
      computer, the Client website or Google™.
    4. Budgeted Exact Match Keyword ‐ An Exact Match Keyword as described above with the exception that
      pricing is based not on Provider’s estimate of the cost to maintain the ad at all times but on a budget
      requested by Client. Provider will provide maximum coverage for that budget.
    5. Receipt

      Unless otherwise requested Client will receive a receipt in email form detailing all specifics of account at
      the start of service. Further receipts are available upon request. Details in receipt that conflict with this
      document take precedence.

    6. Refunds

      If Client is unsatisfied with service Client may cancel at any time and is entitled to a refund of the prorated
      amount for the remainder of the term.

    7. Representation

      Provider is not responsible for false representation by an employee of the Client company and Client is
      not entitled to any additional refund other than the pro‐rated amount for the remainder of the term
