BACKGROUND

             CIT provides its customers, who are primarily professional services providers, with an array of internet marketing Services designed to help them attract and acquire clients (the “Clients”) within the customer’s desired area of practice or expertise. CIT’s Services include tools to drive internet traffic, design captivating advertisements, build websites and landing pages designed to attract and convert Clients, and assist customers with tracking calls and leads.

1.      Services.

1.1 Core Services. In consideration for the Fees specified herein, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, CIT will provide the following core Services to Customer (the “Core Services”), as may be specified in greater detail on the Order Page:

         (a)      Ad Services. CIT will setup, arrange, and manage online Pay Per Click (“PPC”) advertising services via internet search engines. CIT, at its discretion, may create one or more advertisements (each, an “Ad”) on behalf of Customer, which may include information in text and/or image form about Customer and its business. In connection with the Ad(s), CIT will create one or more web-based advertising campaigns for Customer (each, a “Campaign”), which will align the Ad(s) created by CIT with keywords that are likely to be searched by prospective Clients, with the goal of directing such prospective Clients to Customer’s Website (as defined in Section 1.1(b)). The specific keywords, timing, geography, and target prospective Clients for each Campaign shall be set by CIT in its sole discretion. As part of each Campaign, CIT will then promulgate the Ad(s) across the internet to target prospective Clients through the services of third party entities responsible for displaying Ad(s) across the internet (the “Ad Serving Companies”), which may include, but are not limited to Google®, Yahoo®, and Bing®. In connection with PPC, Customer expressly consents to the terms and conditions of each Ad Serving Company through which such Services are provided, which are referenced in Section 3.3 hereof. Furthermore, Customer shall be responsible for paying all PPC fees to Ad Serving Companies, which are generally based on a Monthly Advertising Target Budget further contemplated in Section 4.4 hereof.

         (b)      Website Services. CIT will create a website with one or more website landing pages for Customer, with content that is specific to Customer and its business (a “Website”). CIT will assign Customer’s Website to a geographic territory (the “Geographic Territory ”), which, in CIT’s discretion, is likely to provide the most favorable visibility for Customer’s business, in light of the Customer’s physical location, business activities, and other relevant factors. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Geographic Territory for Customer’s Website shall be determined and assigned by CIT, in its sole discretion. The Website will further be dedicated to serve to showcase and promote a specific practice area of the Customer’s business which will be set forth in the Order Page or otherwise agreed to by Customer and CIT.

         (c)      Call Tracking & Analytics Services. In connection with Services involving Websites and PPC, CIT will provide Customer with a dedicated phone number to track all calls and call dates from the campaigns, analytics data, and personalized dashboards that provide, for example, lead data, budget information, Ad data, geographic targeting data of Clients, and Client conversion data (collectively, “Call Services”). In connection with Call Services, Customer expressly consents to the terms and conditions of each Third Party Provider through which such Call Services are provided, and which are further referenced in Section 3.3 hereof.


1.2 Additional Services. At various times Customer may have the option to request from CIT certain additional Services (the “Additional Services”). Such Additional Services may be selected by Customer via the Order Page during the initial set up process or agreed to by CIT and Customer from time to time thereafter. The Fees for Additional Services will be as indicated on the Order Page for the services, and the terms of this Agreement shall, at all times, apply thereto. Additional Services include the following, and may be amended by CIT from time to time:

         (a)      Call Answering Services. CIT, in conjunction with one or more Third Party Providers, will provide a service in which inbound calls generated from Website(s) created by CIT will be answered by live receptionists (the “Call Answering Service”) on behalf of the Customer. If Customer elects to use the Call Answering Service, then calls to the Customer are answered during the operating hours of CIT’s call centers, which is typically twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, although these times may vary. The Call Answering Service provider will capture basic information about the prospective client and either attempt to connect the caller with the Customer or will communicate to the Customer the details captured during the call via email and/or text message. In connection with the Call Answering Service, Customer may have, or be provided with, the option to record incoming calls from Clients and prospective Clients. Customer shall have the sole and exclusive responsibility for ensuring that it has the necessary permissions for recording calls, and for ensuring that Customer remains in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations in the course of doing the same. The terms for Third Party Provider who will provide Call Answering Services are referenced in Section 3.3(b) hereof.

         (b)      Additional Geographic Territories. Customer may request for CIT to add additional geographic territories to its account, which will involve the creation by CIT of one or more additional Ads, Websites, and/or Campaigns for Customer, and the provision of additional Core Services in connection with each new Geographic Territory and corresponding Website(s). An additional Monthly Advertising Target Budget must also be established and maintained for each new Geographic Territory and corresponding Website(s). Customer acknowledges and agrees that CIT has the sole discretion as to (i) whether or not to grant Customer’s request to provide it with an additional Geographic Territory, and (ii) the final size, shape, location, layout, and other factors of such additional Geographic Territory.

         (c)      Additional Campaigns.

11.10 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. The Parties agree that all of the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, including the enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, USA without giving effect to the principles of Florida law relating to the conflict or choice of laws. The exclusive venue for disputes relating to or out of this Agreement shall be Broward County, Florida, and Customer hereby waives any jurisdictional venue or inconvenient forum objections thereto. Both parties do hereby mutually agree to waive their right to a jury trial in connection with any dispute or conflict relating to, or out of this Agreement. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be decided by final and binding arbitration in administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Broward County, Florida, USA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Commercial Rules”), and judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) neutral and impartial arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator will be appointed by agreement of the Parties, but in the event that the Parties fail to agree on the Arbitrator, the AAA shall appoint an Arbitrator with sufficient understanding of the business and technology issues relevant to resolving the dispute. The Arbitrator shall have the sole power to rule on matters of jurisdiction, arbitrability, timeliness of claims, issue preclusion, and to grant permanent equitable relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may seek interim equitable relief (including an injunction or preservation of evidence) in a court of law to the extent that it is necessary to prevent irreparable harm that may be caused to such Party by the breach of this Agreement.
