Local General Conditions
Effective July 24, 2024
A. These Moz Local General Conditions (the “General Conditions”) are made between SEOMOZ, INC. (“Moz USA”), a Delaware corporation and You, as a subscriber to Moz USA’s Services (“Subscriber”), and establish the general terms and conditions under which Moz USA will provide certain subscription software services to Subscriber as more expressly described in one or more Subscription Order Agreements (each a “Services Order”), or on www.moz.com. If Subscriber is executing a Services Order, each Services Order executed by Moz USA and the Subscriber will and does incorporate by reference these General Conditions into each such Services Order to make a single and separate agreement between the parties to the Services Order (each combining such General Conditions and executed Services Order referred to herein as an or the “Agreement”). If Subscriber is creating an account via Moz’s self-serve portal (such Subscriber, a “Self-Serve” Subscriber), Subscriber agrees to these General Conditions, which are also incorporated by reference as part of Subscriber’s Agreement. Each Agreement is effective on the effective date described in the Services Order applicable to the Agreement, or, if a Self-Serve Subscriber, on the date Subscriber creates an account (the “Effective Date”).
B. With respect to each Agreement, in the event of a conflict in terms between the General Conditions and the Services Order incorporating the General Conditions, precedence shall be given to the applicable Services Order that directly conflicts with a term in these General Conditions.
C. Both parties agree that each Agreement is a true, correct and final record of the agreements of the parties and represents all rights and obligations of each party regarding the subject matter thereof. By executing each Agreement both parties represent that they have thoroughly examined the schedules or other attachments constituting the Agreement, and are satisfied that all statements, representations, promises, inducements, or understandings of any kind made during negotiations for the Agreement are incorporated therein. Each Agreement takes effect notwithstanding any prior agreement in conflict with or at variance to it, and notwithstanding any correspondence or documents relating to the subject matter exchanged by the parties prior to the execution hereof. The Agreement (including all applicable schedules or other attachments) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes any and all prior agreements, between Moz and Subscriber with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement. For clarity, if any two Agreements have the same subject matter and overlapping Effective Dates, then the Agreement with the earlier Effective Date will be superseded and terminated by the Agreement having the later Effective Date. Moz USA retains the right to revise and update these General Conditions at any time for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion, effective immediately on posting the same to www.moz.com or www.mozcast.com (the “Sites”). The General Conditions will indicate at the beginning (top of the page) the date on which the current General Conditions were last revised and effective. It is your responsibility to check the then-current General Conditions for any changes. YOU AGREE THAT THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THESE GENERAL CONDITIONS LEGALLY BINDS YOU FOR ANY OF YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF THE SITES AND ANY SERVICES, AND YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MOST RECENT TOU VERSION SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES THE PRIOR VERSION AND BINDS YOU FOR THE ENTIRETY OF ANY UNEXPIRED AND ACTIVE TERMS OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO ANY SERVICES.

3. SERVICE RESPONSIBILITIES
3.1 Our Responsibilities. We shall: (a) provide to You basic support for the Subscription Services at no additional charge; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Subscription Services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for: (i) planned downtime (of which We shall give at least 1 business days’ notice wherever possible via the Subscription Services and which We shall schedule to the extent practicable during the weekend hours from 9 p.m. Pacific time on Saturday to 3 a.m. Pacific time Sunday, or (ii) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God, acts of government, flood, fire, earthquakes, civil unrest, acts of terror, strikes or other labor problems (other than those involving Our employees), or other third party failures or delays (including but not limited to Internet or data service providers); and (c) provide the Subscription Services only in accordance with applicable laws and government regulations.
3.2 Your Responsibilities. You shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services, and notify Us promptly of any such unauthorized access or use; and (b) use the Services only in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws and government regulations.

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement (including in another schedule), You acknowledge that Our provision of the Services is dependent upon the supply of data and other services from third parties that are not controlled by Us, and that interruption or delay of the Services (whether in whole or in part) due solely to the acts or omissions of a third party will not constitute a breach of Our obligations under this Agreement. You further acknowledge that We may condition or alter the Services in any way for Our business needs including but not limited to service optimization, performance, or architectural reasons.
3.4 Affiliate Use. If one of Your Affiliates agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing in its own name a Services Order, then upon Our executing the Affiliate’s Services Order, any such Affiliate also may obtain the Services from Us on the terms and conditions that are set forth both in such Services Order with the Affiliate, and in these General Conditions as the same are incorporated by reference into such Services Order with such Affiliate.
4. SUBSCRIBER MANAGEMENT OF LISTINGS
4.1 Cancellation. You may cancel a managed business location only using the Moz Local dashboard. Cancellation is immediate, irreversible and must occur prior to expiration of the business location term to avoid related renewal fees. Cancellation removes a listing and associated data from Your dashboard. Your cancellation of any business location will not under any circumstances entitle You to any complete or partial refunds whatsoever for such canceled business location.
4.2 Changes and Updates. You may make unlimited changes and updates to business location data during the related term. However, if You make changes to core data — such as domain name, phone number, or location address — that We are unable to validate using third-party services such as Google or Facebook, We may not be able to update Your changes with location data aggregators and Business Listing services following submission. This validation policy protects You and other customers from having business locations listing data hijacked by unauthorized agents.
5. FEES AND PAYMENT FOR SERVICES
5.1 Service Fees. You shall pay all fees for the Services (“Service Fee(s)”) as set out in the applicable Services Order. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable Services Order: (a) fees are quoted and payable in US dollars; (b) fees are based on services purchased and not actual usage or perceived usefulness of the Subscription Services; and (c) Subscription Services payment obligations are non-cancelable and Service Fees paid are non-refundable. Except as specifically stated in the applicable Services Order, all Service Fees are exclusive of all taxes applicable to the provision of the Services by Us.
5.2 Invoicing and Payment. We will invoice You on an annual or monthly basis depending on the Services, unless provided differently on an applicable Services Order with respect to any particular Services. Payment of amounts due hereunder will be made by You to Us within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice, unless provided differently on an applicable Services Order with respect to any particular Services. If any invoice is disputed, the disputed amount will be due and payable within thirty (30) days after resolution of such dispute.
5.3 Renewals. Each business location renews annually within 30 days of the anniversary of the previous payment for that location. If Your renewal payment fails, You will no longer have any rights under this Agreement related to Your previously purchased Moz Local business location(s), including the right to manage Your Business Listing, until Your payments are current. Failure to renew a listing in a timely manner (prior to the date of annual renewal) will result in loss of any special or custom pricing terms associated with a business location.
5.4 Pricing Changes. We may change Our Local Service Fees from time to time; with respect to new pricing for renewals, We will provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice by email and/or posting any new fee schedule on the site for Moz Local.

If any fee payments are not received from You by the due date, then at Our discretion: (a) such charges may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment was due until the date paid; and/or (b) We may condition the continued provision of Services on (i) payment of all outstanding amounts; and/or (ii) payment terms shorter than those specified herein.
5.6 Suspension of Service and Acceleration. If any amount owing by You under this or any other agreement for Our services is 10 or more calendar days overdue, We may, without limiting Our other rights and remedies, accelerate Your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend Our services to You until such amounts are paid in full.
5.7 Payment Disputes. We shall not exercise Our rights under Section 4.3 (Overdue Charges) or 4.4 (Suspension of Service and Acceleration) if the applicable charges are under reasonable and good-faith dispute and You are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
5.8 Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, Our fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder. If We have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by You, unless You provide Us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, We are solely responsible for taxes assessable against Us based on Our net income, property and employees.
