Terms & Conditions

Click Source – Updated Terms & Conditions – 2022

OVERVIEW AND IMPORTANT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

1

Click Source will formally call and confirm the details supplied at sign-up time. Click Source cannot deliver the product in full until this information is confirmed with the account holder or elected representative (this is to ensure there are no mistakes in your published information).

2

The nominated bank account will be charged the setup fee at the point of sale to the value agreed at the point of sale.

3

The nominated bank account will be charged monthly to the agreed-upon value at the point of sale. Monthly charges start from the following month, not from when the listing appears on the front page (most of the hard work is put in when the listing isn’t visible to optimize your listing to start appearing on the front page).

4

The process of setting up often requires a postcard being sent from Google. This can take up to 4 weeks. Click Source takes no responsibility for postal issues that may cause a delay. Other work and back-end work will be taking place whilst we wait for the arrival of the verification pin.

5

The postcard from Google will contain a pin number that must be supplied to Click Source for the services to be supplied in full. Click Source takes no responsibility for the delay. If the pin is not supplied either by phone or email. Click Source will make every attempt to receive the pin. If not received, Click Source will re-order to start the process again.

6

Due to the changing nature of the internet and Google’s search algorithms, practices, policies, and functionality, I understand Click Source cannot guarantee the time it will take to deliver results.

7

For the Top 3 Add-On packs, if we do not achieve the top 3 of Google Places with at least 1 keyword in your local town within 90 days, you are entitled to a refund of the top 3 add-on costs per month.

8

I understand that my Google Places rank will frequently change as they are controlled by Google. I will contact the Click Source customer service team for queries or concerns.

9

I understand with Google listings involving “surrounding areas”, Click Source cannot predict the frequency of rank on keywords in surrounding areas as this is solely controlled by Google.

10

Click Source will assist in every way possible, but you cannot control the content of any reviews posted about your business on Google Places.

11

I understand that Click Source is not owned or affiliated in any way with Google. Click Source specializes in setting up and optimizing Google Places listings.

12

I understand this is a monthly rolling contract that can be opted out of by giving 30 days’ notice through phone or email. We understand our cancellation notice isn’t recognized until we have received a confirmation email from Customer Service.

13

I understand refunds will not be issued for a drop in ranking outside of the 90-day period as Google updates and changes might affect rankings; however, I understand Click Source will be re-optimizing my listing and working on it continually to achieve rankings in this case.

14

I understand that during and after the set-up process, Google sometimes requires businesses’ to be re-verified. This may affect timelines set for rankings and current rankings.

15

I understand that any failure or defaulted payments within my duration with Click Source forfeits all rights to refunds and timeline guarantees, as this will affect the normal process of work completed by the technical team.

16

I understand that re-verification will occur from time to time at the request of Google. This can affect ranking, but I understand that Click Source will do everything possible to resolve and rectify ranking effects as soon as possible. This may also affect the 90-day money-back guarantee if it occurs during that period; for any concerns, I will raise this with my account manager.

17

Set-up Fees are NON-refundable.

18

Deposits to secure positions are NON-refundable unless it was an error from the company “Click Source”.
