LOC8 MY BUSINESS — CLIENT TERMS & CONDITIONS

Google Business Profile Authority Engine — Do-It-Yourself (Copy & Paste) Plan

LOC8 My Business | LOC8MyBiz.com | 239.268.3852

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern the services provided by LOC8 My Business ("LOC8," "we," "us") to the client named below ("Client," "you"). By signing the onboarding form, submitting payment, or accepting delivery of any work, you agree to these Terms.

1. THE SERVICES

1.1 LOC8 provides digital marketing services for real estate professionals. Under this Do-It-Yourself plan, LOC8 creates Google Business Profile ("GBP") content for you and delivers it to you in a document. You copy and paste that content into your own Google Business Profile yourself. LOC8 does not access, log into, publish to, or manage your profile under this plan.

1.2 The deliverables and fees are set out in your onboarding form, proposal, or invoice. This plan commonly includes a content package — for example, Google Posts, Google Products, and Google Business Services — written for your market and delivered to you to publish yourself.

1.3 Only the services described in your onboarding form, proposal, or written agreement are included. Any service not described there — including publishing, posting, or managing your profile on your behalf — is not included unless separately agreed in writing.

2. WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT

2.1 LOC8's role under this plan is to create and deliver content. Implementation is yours: copying and pasting the delivered content into your profile, and all posting, scheduling, and publishing.

2.2 LOC8 does not log into, access, publish to, monitor, or maintain your profile under this plan, and does not manage or respond to reviews, messages, questions, or leads.

2.3 You own and control your Google Business Profile and Google account at all times. Because you publish everything yourself, you decide what content goes live and when.

3. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

3.1 Accurate information. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate onboarding information, and for verifying every fact in any deliverable — including address, hours, phone, license and brokerage details, and market data — before you publish it.

3.2 Publishing and ongoing maintenance. Because this is a do-it-yourself plan, publishing the delivered content and maintaining your profile are entirely your responsibility. GBP visibility depends on consistent, recent activity — publishing posts on a regular cadence, uploading photos regularly, requesting reviews consistently, posting events, rotating offers, and keeping your profile information current. LOC8 provides the recommended cadence in your document. LOC8 is not responsible for results lost because content was not published, was published late, or was published incompletely or incorrectly.

3.3 Accurate publishing. You are responsible for copying and pasting the delivered content accurately and completely, and for reviewing it in place before it goes live.

3.4 Lawful use. You are responsible for ensuring that everything you publish on your profile complies with Google's policies, the Fair Housing Act, your state real estate advertising rules, and your brokerage's requirements (see Sections 5, 6, and 7).

4. NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS

4.1 LOC8 creates your content to a high professional standard, but does not and cannot guarantee any specific ranking, search placement, lead volume, call volume, sales, or timeline.

4.2 Results depend on factors outside LOC8's control, including whether and how consistently you publish and maintain the content, your market's competitiveness, your reviews and reputation, and changes Google makes to its algorithms and features.

4.3 Any timelines, benchmarks, or examples LOC8 shares are illustrations, not promises. Individual results vary.

5. GOOGLE'S PLATFORM AND POLICIES

5.1 Your profile exists on Google's platform and is subject to Google's terms and policies, which Google may change or enforce at any time.

5.2 LOC8 is not responsible for: changes Google makes to features or availability (for example, reduced access to the Products section); Google suspending, penalizing, or removing your profile; or any consequence of your profile being flagged for actions that violate Google's guidelines.

5.3 You agree not to take actions that violate Google's policies, including adding keywords to your business name, creating duplicate profiles, or misrepresenting your business. If LOC8 advises against an action for policy reasons and you proceed, you accept the risk.

6. REVIEWS

6.1 All reviews must be earned. Neither you nor LOC8 will buy, sell, trade for, incentivize, or fabricate reviews, or post reviews for your own business. This is both Google policy and LOC8 policy.

6.2 LOC8 provides templates and guidance for requesting genuine reviews from real clients. How you use them is your responsibility.

7. FAIR HOUSING AND ADVERTISING COMPLIANCE

7.1 Real estate advertising is regulated by the federal Fair Housing Act and by state and local law. Content LOC8 produces is written to describe places, services, and market facts — not people — and to avoid signaling any preference based on a protected class.

7.2 You are responsible for reviewing all content against Fair Housing requirements, your state real estate advertising rules, and your brokerage's policies before publishing, and for making any adjustments needed. You are responsible for the compliance of what you publish.

8. CONTENT, PHOTOS, AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

8.1 Your materials. You represent that any materials you provide (logos, headshots, photos, text) are owned by you or licensed to you, and that LOC8 may use them to perform the Services.

8.2 Photo rights. You are responsible for only publishing images you own or have the right to use. Do not upload MLS photos, listing photos you did not take, or images taken from the internet. LOC8 is not responsible for third-party copyright claims arising from images you supply or publish.

8.3 Deliverables. On full payment, LOC8 grants you a license to use the content it creates for you on your own Google Business Profile and related marketing. LOC8 retains ownership of its underlying methods, templates, proprietary terminology, and processes (including the LOC8 Authority Engine and its components).

9. PAYMENT, BILLING, AND CANCELLATION

9.1 Fees and payment schedules are set out in your onboarding form, proposal, or invoice. One-time project fees are due in full before work begins.

9.2 Recurring monthly services are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically until cancelled.

9.3 You may cancel a recurring service with [30] days' written notice to [email protected]. You remain responsible for any fees already billed for the current period. Cancellation stops future content deliveries; it does not remove content already published to your profile.

9.4 Late or failed payments may pause delivery until resolved.

10. REFUNDS

10.1 Because LOC8's work is custom and produced specifically for you, one-time project fees are non-refundable once work has begun. Recurring service fees are non-refundable for the current period, but you may cancel future periods under Section 9.3.

11. TERM AND TERMINATION

11.1 These Terms begin on the effective date and continue until the Services are complete or the agreement is terminated.

11.2 Either party may terminate for a material breach that is not cured within [30] days of written notice. LOC8 may suspend or terminate Services for non-payment or for a request to act against Google policy or applicable law.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

12.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, LOC8's total liability arising out of or relating to the Services is limited to the amount you paid LOC8 for the specific service giving rise to the claim in the [three] months before the claim.

12.2 LOC8 is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost leads, lost rankings, or loss of profile visibility, even if advised of the possibility.

13. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold LOC8 harmless from claims, damages, and costs arising from: content or materials you supplied; content you published or directed to be published; your violation of Google's policies, Fair Housing law, real estate advertising rules, or these Terms; or third-party rights claims relating to images or text you provided.

14. GENERAL

14.1 Independent contractor. LOC8 is an independent contractor, not your employee, legal business partner, or brokerage.

14.2 Not legal advice. LOC8 provides marketing services, not legal, compliance, or brokerage advice. You are responsible for obtaining your own legal and regulatory guidance.

14.3 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes resolved in the courts of Lee County, Florida.

14.4 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with your onboarding form, are the entire agreement between us and supersede prior discussions. LOC8 may update these Terms for future work; changes do not apply retroactively to work already delivered.

14.5 Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

15. ACKNOWLEDGMENT

By checking the acceptance box (or signing below), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms, including that publishing the delivered content is your responsibility, the ongoing maintenance responsibilities, the no-guarantee-of-results statement, and the Fair Housing and Google policy obligations.
