Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the initial minimum Subscription Period of Marketing Center will be six (6) months, and thereafter it will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis until terminated in accordance with the Thryv Platform Services Terms and Conditions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Terms and Conditions will have the same meaning given in the Thryv Platform Services Terms and Conditions.

  1. Marketing Center. Marketing Center is designed to assist you in managing your online presence, online advertising, and prospect generation, which, in some cases, may allow you to obtain prospective customer information (each a “Contact”) through Contact generation methods, including, but not limited to, contact forms, emails, and telephone calls.
  2. Transmission of Contact Information. You authorize us to transmit Contact information collected via any/all advertising and Contact generation methods to you via your Thryv Services portal, email and/or text (if you provide a mobile phone number for contact), and you agree to make a reasonable effort to contact each Contact we provide to you, where appropriate.
  3. Performance Tracking. To allow us to provide you with detailed reporting for your marketing programs, you must consent to and implement the Performance Tracking Service in conjunction with Marketing Center, subject to our Performance Tracking Terms, which are incorporated herein by this reference. As set forth in the Performance Tracking Terms, you will be automatically opted in to the call tracking and call recording services unless you contact us to opt-out of call recording.

  4. Fulfillment Terms. By purchasing Marketing Center, we (i) will syndicate your business listing information to various third party business directories and search engines (the “Listing Partner Sites”) of providers who participate in the service (the “Listing Partners”); (ii) provide you the ability to view and manage your business listing information and see status across various Listing Partner Sites; (iii) make available to you various types of marketing for your business which may include online or mobile display advertising, social ads, Search Engine Marketing (SEM), connected television (CTV) advertising, digital Yellow Pages directory-type advertising, or other types of marketing, as well as contact information collection methods such as web forms, website live-chat agents, and pixel or other web tracking, provided, we may add, remove or change the marketing sources and media used to fulfill Marketing Center at any time in our sole discretion.

    In addition to the general provisions of the Agreement, you agree to the terms and conditions that govern any of the potential types of media or other sources you may select to fulfill your Marketing Center Subscription Services, as applicable, which terms and conditions include, without limitation, those in the following sections related to Digital Ads, Online Display and Social Ads, Search (SEM), and Internet Yellow Pages advertising, and other channels or media.

    Use of certain Contact generation methods may require you to provide additional information to us, such as a promotional offer and/or other content to be used in a postcard or other print media, or completing a brief survey about your business to aid a live agent in responding to chat requests, and you agree to cooperate in providing these materials where applicable, and that by providing us these additional materials or access in connection with a particular Contact generation method, you consent or opt-in to our use of that method for your business. You agree to honor any promotional offer you provide us for inclusion in any advertising for a minimum of three months after publication or mailing, or as otherwise provided. For Contact generation methods that require the placement of pixel tracking code, cookie script or other tracking or implementation technology on your website or landing page, you agree to provide us the necessary access to your site or page or to implement the code yourself. You acknowledge that we may modify the content or size of any advertisement, or any category, keyword or other parameters of your advertising to conform to the requirements of, or utilize the features of, a third-party site or media channel. We disclaim all liability in connection with the functionality, operation, or content of any website or service not owned or operated by us.

    You agree that as part of the Marketing Services Subscription Services, we or our third-party service providers may create, claim, verify, edit and manage your Google My Business1 (GMB) listing/account during the Subscription Period. Our ability to create, edit, or verify your GMB listing or account is conditioned on your participation with us and Google. Failure to participate accordingly will forfeit this part of the Subscription Services. You should familiarize yourself with the following Google resources:

  5. Media Spend and Fees. You understand and agree that we charge both a monthly flat fee (“Management Fee”), and, if applicable, a percent of your media spend for our Marketing Center services over and above the portion of your budget allocated for media spend (“Media Management Fee”). You agree to pay such fees. If you choose to run a paid marketing campaign, you control your daily media budget limit within your Marketing Center Account. When you initiate a marketing campaign through your Marketing Center Account, you will be asked to set your daily budget limit, and we will charge your payment method for the daily budget limit X 30 days. Your actual media spend and Media Management Fee will be deducted from such prepayment. When your media spend balance reaches less than 5 X your set daily budget limit, we will charge your payment method for another 30 days. You may increase or decrease your daily media budget limit at any time, provided changes will not take effect until the following business day. Media Management Fees are as set forth in your campaign setup and may differ based on whether you manage the campaign or if we manage the campaign on your behalf. If you cancel your Marketing Center Account pursuant to the Thryv Platform Services Terms and Conditions and you have remaining Marketing Center budget, we will issue you a refund less any applicable fees.
  6. Ad Creation. By purchasing Marketing Center, you grant us the right to obtain images, logos, and/or other content via automated or manual methods from your website and other online presence, including but not limited to social media pages, and to use, publish, modify as necessary, and distribute within your Marketing Center campaigns. Such images and other content will be considered “Client Content,” as such term is defined in the Thryv Platform Services Terms and Conditions. Depending on the type of ads or media used to fulfill your Marketing Center program, we may proactively refresh the ad creative, including new photos, images, logos, colors, content or templates, from time to time, and you authorize us to obtain, use, modify, publish and distribute for the purpose of these ad refreshes, information about your business provided or made available to us online at that time.
  7. Campaign Targeting. You are responsible for selecting campaign targeting strategies, including factors such as keywords or relevant search terms, desired target audience or segment characteristics, geographic scope of delivery and other parameters, and you are responsible for the legality of the keywords, audience and other targeting parameters you select or approve to be incorporated in your campaigns, including your use of any trademarked terms or your compliance with any industry-related, professional or local laws, rules, restrictions, or regulations that may govern you or your business.
  8. CRM and Reporting. Contacts will be delivered to you throughout the Subscription Period as they are received and may be automatically entered into your Thryv Services Customer Management (CRM) tool, noting Marketing Center as the source. You agree to use commercially reasonable means to protect the confidentiality of any personally identifiable information provided to you by or about any prospect or Contact through your Marketing Center Subscription Services, and to use such information only for your legitimate business marketing purposes and not for any other purpose such as transferring it to any third party for their use. Reporting available in your Marketing Center reporting dashboard will remain available for a reasonable period of time but may be removed periodically to permit space for newer reporting.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the Listing Partner Sites are subject to change at any time and that Listing Partner Sites can be added and/or removed at any time, (ii) all content submitted by you shall be subject to the Listing Partners’ standards and policies, and that any such content may be rejected, in whole or in part, by a Listing Partner at any time in its sole discretion, or modified at any time to comply with such policies, (iii) we do not guarantee that any listing or tag will be displayed on any Listing Partner Site, (iv) if the Marketing Center Subscription Service is terminated, Listing Partners may, at their sole discretion, revert business data to the manner in which it appeared prior to the Marketing Center Subscription Service being provided, and (v) the appearance and/or location of any listing tag placement may change at any time.
