  8. Reputation Management. Any reputation management services, which may include reputation monitoring, competitor watch, review generation campaigns, review response, or review management services, will be provided to you in accordance with this section.
    1. Reputation Monitoring services will enable you to actively monitor your business’s online reputation, including providing an aggregate view of online reviews of your business which are posted on third-party public websites, as well as your own website or Thryv Services portal, where applicable, as well as the number of responses you make to your reviews and the speed with which you post those responses. We also aggregate social posts and check-ins on social networks for your viewing in one hub. You acknowledge that reputation monitoring is based on information made available by particular third-party sources at a particular point in time and thus may not represent the most up-to-date information available in the market and may not reflect all reviews, responses, resolutions, or posts made about your business at any given time. Sources included in Reputation Monitoring are subject to change at our discretion.
    2. Competitor Watch enables you to monitor the reputation of a limited number of other businesses you identify within your market, by aggregating and reporting on their public reviews and ratings as well as the number and speed of their public responses to reviews, so you can see where you stand among your competitors and peers in your local industry. You agree that any information you provide us about another business for the purposes of Competitor Watch is publicly available information and you agree that you may only use the information provided to you by Competitor Watch for your own internal informational purposes only and not for inclusion in any publicity, social posts, communications, marketing or other purposes. You acknowledge that we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information provided through Competitor Watch, as it is based on content made publicly available in the market by particular third-party sources at a particular point in time. You agree that Competitor Watch is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for any business decisions and that any use you make of Competitor Watch is at your own risk.
    3. Review Generation Services are features you can elect to use in several ways. We may make available an online widget for use on your website or client portal page, where available, that can enable your Customers to submit a review of your business for display and use on your Thryv Services client portal page or Thryv Services website, or can link your Customers to third-party sites where they can log in with their user credentials for such third-party site and review your business on that third-party site. We may enable you to send a custom marketing message or campaign to Customers to remind them to review your business after a service, and we may provide template campaigns for this purpose. We may offer automated marketing campaigns that can be set up to be sent out (via email or text, as applicable depending on your Customers’ consents) upon certain triggers recognized by the Thryv Services platform, such as appointment bookings completed, invoices sent, and/or payments received, and which encourage Customers to review your business after receiving a service. These automated campaigns are designed to be sent to all Customers after the service trigger so reviews you receive represent a balance of Customer experiences. Regarding any efforts at review generation, you agree not to solicit reviews in a biased manner, nor to manipulate your review content, attempt to block or delete any legitimate reviews, nor cause any reviews to be solicited from anyone (including non-persons or bots) who has not had recent, first-hand experience with services provided by your business or any source that provides “fake” reviews or “fake” customers for the purposes of leaving reviews. You agree that you will not write reviews for your business yourself or solicit reviews from anyone who has a bias or interest in your business without requesting that reviewer reveal their potential bias in the review. Reviews content from certain third-party sites may be imported and/or a link to such content on the third-party site(s) embedded in order to display such reviews (or partial reviews) on your Thryv Services client portal page or Thryv Services website. You agree to waive and/or release us from any claims resulting from negative reviews or any reviews about your business.
    4. Review Response is a feature whereby we enable you to create and post a response as the business to a review of your business on your Thryv Services client portal page or Thryv Services website from within the Thryv platform, and to link out directly to a review of your business posted on a third-party site or platform to which you can then manually create and post your business’s response to such review after logging in with your credentials for that third-party site or platform. When posting responses on third-party sites or platforms, you will be governed by the terms of such third-party properties, including their terms about content, with which you agree to abide. You understand that the third-party owner/operators of other sites or platforms control both the policies governing the review content posted there by the reviewers and your access to and posting of content on their sites and platforms, regardless of any link there from Thryv. We disclaim any responsibility for any and all content displayed or posted on third-party sites or platforms and you agree to indemnify us for any claims resulting from content you post there.
    5. Review Management Services include the Thryv Review Acknowledgement service, which is included with certain package levels of Thryv and may be added for an additional fee at other levels. For the purposes of using this service, you appoint us to act as your agent in providing one of a limited number of templated initial responses to acknowledge a client review shortly after it is posted by the reviewer, with the content of such response based on the perceived sentiment of or issue stated in the review. These acknowledgements are not intended to provide custom responses or resolution of any issues raised in a review, but rather to generally acknowledge the review, thank the reviewer for posting it, and, in the event problems or specific issues are raised in the review, invite the reviewer to contact the business directly or via private message for a specific resolution, which response and resolution will be up to the business to handle and provide at its sole discretion. Use of this Review Acknowledgement service is at your own risk, and we do not guarantee any specific results. Although we endeavor to provide appropriate responses based on perceived sentiment of a review, we cannot be responsible for any misunderstandings or misinterpretation of the review content or sentiment by our personnel or systems. By electing to use the Thryv Review Acknowledgement service you waive any claims by you and/or release us from any claims from a customer or any third-party resulting from any review response that we post as part of the service, except in the event of our gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
  9. Online Listings Management.

WE ALSO HAVE NO LIABILITY SHOULD ANY LISTING PARTNER REFUSE TO UPDATE, CHANGE OR REMOVE BUSINESS LISTING DATA OR REFUSE TO ACCEPT DATA POINTS WE PROVIDE. You agree to abide by any third-party terms or restrictions associated with the Service.
    4. Licenses. We hereby grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to access and use the Listing Management service or dashboard solely in connection with your legitimate business needs. This license will terminate in the event your subscription to the Thryv Services expires or is terminated, in which case you will immediately cease any further use of the Listing Management service or dashboard.
    5. Trademarks. The trademarks, service marks, logos and any designs used or displayed on the Listing Management service are trademarks and/or service marks owned by us or our licensors. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any of our trademarks displayed on the Listing Management service without our prior, written permission in each instance. The appearance of any third-party trademarks does not in any way imply any connection, license, approval, or other such relationship of any kind with such third party.
