WEBSITE COMPLIANCE DISCLAIMER

Carpages.ca makes no claim or warranty of any kind that DealerSite will comply with or be designed or developed in accordance with any third-party compliance requirements unless agreed to in writing.

DEALERMAIL USAGE POLICY

Unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account suspension or cancellation.

Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account suspension or cancellation. “Spamming,” or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such.

Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more than five or six recipients, is by itself spamming unless the individuals have specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that topic.

BILLING POLICY

Any website design fee as specified on the DealerSite purchase order form will be charged to Dealer prior to commencement of website design project and will be due immediately upon receipt.

In cases where there is no website design fee, an alternative upfront payment which is determined on the DealerSite order form will be required prior to commencement of website design project and will be due immediately upon receipt.

Website design fee or other upfront payment are non-refundable.

WEBSITE CHANGES POLICY

DealerSite content updates as requested by Dealer will be limited to a maximum of two (2) hours of updates per month. Additional hours will be billed at $150 per hour in half-hour increments.

Content updates do not include any graphic design work or website “refreshes” which are billed separately.

TERM AND TERMINATION

The term of this Agreement will commence on the date set forth on the purchase order form to which this Agreement is attached and will remain in effect for the Term of Agreement, as set forth on the purchase order form, or for whatever length of time Dealer continues to use the DealerSite service.

If, at any time during the Term of Agreement as set forth in the purchase order form, Dealer chooses to cancel their DealerSite service, a cancellation fee may apply.
