You understand and agree that temporary interruptions of the Site may occur. You also understand and agree that we have no control over the third-party networks or service(s) that we may use to provide you with Services. You agree that the Services available on this Site are provided “AS IS” and that we assume no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery, interruption, or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings.

c. Right to Modify the Services

We reserve the right to implement new elements as part of the Services including changes that may affect the previous mode of operation of the Services. We believe that any such modifications will enhance the overall Services, but it is possible that your opinion may vary.

d. No Contingency on Future Releases and Improvements.

You understand that your purchase of the Services on our Site is not contingent on the delivery by us of any future release of any functionality or feature, including without limited to, the continuation of a certain service beyond its current subscription term or third party services or dependent on any public comments we make, regarding any future functionality or feature.

e. Hosted Services.

Any services hosted through our app and software platforms, along with access to related software tools, will discontinue if you cancel your subscription to the app and/or software. Services will not be ported to or converted to be compatible to a third party platform on your behalf.

f. Complimentary Services. App and website.

If you are provided complimentary, or “free”, access to our app and software platforms, continued access will be at the sole discretion of Thrive Local LLC.

If you are provided a complimentary asset, such as a website, funnel or marketing campaign, there may still be hosting or software fees associated with maintaining and operating that asset. In other words, while the creation of the asset may be provided free of charge, there may still be ongoing costs associated with powering that functionality that are passed on to you in the form of a fee or subscription.

h. Utility Fees

The ongoing use of our app and software platform will involve increased utility usage for inbound and outbound email, voice and SMS communications. Utility usage varies from client to client and, thus, is a separate billable charge above and beyond standard subscription fees. Be aware that your email, voice and SMS activity level will determine the utility costs associated with your account and you will be billed accordingly.
