Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully. By using Nowsite, signing up for an account or purchasing a monthly subscription (“Subscription”), you’re agreeing to these Terms, which will result in a legal agreement between you and Nowsite (“Agreement”). We’ll start with the basics, including a few definitions that should help you understand these Terms. now.site (“Nowsite,” “we,” or “us”) is an online marketing platform (the “App”) that allows you to build and host websites, design and publish online ads, create email marketing campaigns, and manage contacts that you make through our marketing platform. The App is offered through our websites, including http://now.site, https://www.nowsite.life, and https://nowsite.marketing, and any other website or mobile application owned, operated or controlled by us (we’ll collectively refer to these as the “Website,” and together with the App, the “Service”). The App is offered exclusively through a paid monthly subscription that is billed on a monthly recurring basis. Nowsite is a New Hampshire limited liability company whose legal name is Lodge Industries LLC d/b/a Now.site. Nowsite has employees, independent contractors, and representatives (“our Team”).

Nowsite and Member may hereafter be collectively referred as the “Parties”.
These Terms of Use define the terms and conditions under which you’re allowed to make a purchase and use the Service in accordance with the Agreement, and how we’ll treat your account while you’re a Member. If you don’t agree to these Terms, you must immediately discontinue your use of the Service.
Your failure to cancel your Subscription or Account, or cease to use the Service affected by the amendment will constitute your tacit acceptance of the amended terms.

You’re responsible for keeping your account name and password confidential. You’re also responsible for any account that you have access to and any activity occurring in such account (other than activity that Nowsite is directly responsible for that isn’t performed in accordance with your instructions), whether or not you authorized that activity. You’ll immediately notify us of any unauthorized access or use of your accounts. We’re not responsible for any losses due to stolen or hacked passwords. We don’t have access to your current password, and for security reasons, we may only provide you with instructions on how to reset your password. We have the right to update any of your contact information in your account for billing purposes.

You also understand and acknowledge that Accounts are user rights binding you to such an Account, and that Nowsite does not recognize any transfer of Accounts (including transfers by operation of law) from one Member to any third party. Each customer shall be the sole holder of their own Account.
5. Cancellation
To cancel your account, you must send an email to support@now.site to contact our Team and receive further instructions. In order to process your cancellation request securely and ensure that you are informed of any details relating to your account changes, you will be required to complete a phone or video call with our support team. Failure to do so during our business hours (9am EST to 5pm EST) will result in no action on our part. An email stating that you wish to cancel your subscription does not constitute fulfilment of this requirement, and the cancellation will not be processed until the phone or video call with our support team has been completed.
You are liable for any subscription charges that were processed prior to completing your cancellation, and they are non-refundable. Your cancellation of a subscription will not entitle you to any refund for any charges or fees. Nowsite reserves the right to collect fees, surcharges or costs incurred prior to the cancellation of your Account. In addition, you are responsible for any charges incurred to third-party vendors or content providers before your cancellation.
Nowsite may cancel your Account at any time, in the event that (a) Nowsite closes
down the Service, or (b) you breach any terms of this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use). In the event that your Account is terminated or cancelled by Nowsite for a violation of these Terms of Use or improper or illegal activity, no refund, including of any Subscription fees or of any unused funds in your Account, will be granted.
We may suspend the Service to you at any time, with or without cause. If we terminate your account without cause, and your account is a paid account, we’ll refund a prorated portion of your monthly prepayment. We won’t refund or reimburse you in any other situation, including if your account is suspended or terminated for cause, like a breach or any violation of the Agreement. If your account is inactive for 24 or more months, we may terminate the account. Once your account is terminated, you acknowledge and agree that we may permanently delete your account and all the data associated with it, including your ads, email marketing campaigns, websites and landing pages. Usernames are unique and can only be used once. If your account has been terminated, the username will no longer be available for use on any future accounts and cannot be reclaimed.
6. Refunds
We will give you a refund for the remainder of a prepaid month if we terminate your account without cause. You won’t be entitled to a refund or credit from us under any other circumstances. We may, at our sole discretion, offer a refund, discount or credit.
7. Chargebacks
If, at any time, we record a decline, chargeback or other rejection of a charge of any payable Fees on your Nowsite account (“Chargeback”), this will be considered as a breach of your payment obligations hereunder, and your use of the Service may be automatically disabled or terminated.
In the event a Chargeback is performed, your Account may be blocked without the option to repurchase or re-use it, and any data contained in such Account, including any domains, applications and Third Party Services may be subject to cancellation and Capacity Loss (as defined in Section 5 below).
Your use of the Service will not resume until you re-subscribe, and pay any applicable Fees in full, including any fees and expenses incurred by Nowsite and/or any Third Party Services for each Chargeback received (including Fees for Service provided prior to the Chargeback, handling and processing charges and fees incurred by the payment processor).
If you have any questions or concerns regarding a payment made to Nowsite, we encourage you to first contact our Customer Support team before filing a Chargeback or reversal of payment, in order to prevent the Service from being cancelled and your Account being blocked, and to avoid the filing of an unwarranted or erroneous Chargeback, which may result in your being liable for its applicable Fees, in addition to re-payment of all the Fees applicable to the Service purchased (and charged-back) by you.
We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback received, including by providing the relevant credit card company or financial institution with any information and documentation proving that the Member responsible for such Chargeback did in fact authorize the transaction and make use of the services rendered thereafter.
8. Loss of Data, Content and Capacity
If your User Account or any subscription related to your User Account are cancelled (whether at your request or at Nowsite’s discretion), it may cause or result in the loss of certain content, features, or capacity of your User Account, including any User Content, End User data or other usage data retained therein, and including any domain name reservation or registration that was included in such Services (“Capacity Loss”). Nowsite shall not be liable in any way for such Capacity Loss, or for saving a backup of your User Account, User Content or End User data. Please also note that additional Fees may apply to re-activation of a User Account and/or any Nowsite Services following their cancellation, as determined by Nowsite in its sole discretion.
9. Orders and Use of the Services
The Service is offered through a paid monthly subscription. When you sign up for an Account or Subscription on our website, you are authorizing us to immediately bill you using the credit card information that you provided, and to bill you the monthly Subscription fee each month for the duration of the Term. New subscriptions purchased on the 1st day of the month through the 25th day of the month will renew and be billed on the same day of each month thereafter. New subscriptions purchased from the 26th day of the month through the 31st day of the month will be renew and be billed on the 25th day of each month thereafter. For example, the first renewal and billing date of a subscription purchased on January 4th will be February 4th of the same year. The first renewal and billing date of a subscription purchased on January 29th will be February 25th of the same year. Subscription fees will not be prorated under these circumstances.
Orders shall be placed exclusively via the Internet on our Website. Automatic order confirmation errors may occur. Please check the automatic e-mail order confirmation for errors and inform us immediately of any discrepancies. You guarantee that all data provided during registration is true, accurate, up-to-date and complete.
Nowsite reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order from a Customer that has litigated or disputed a previous order’s payment.
You consent to receive sales invoices electronically. For each monthly subscription renewal, your electronic invoice will be accessible on the Website. For further information about electronic invoices, please contact our team at support@now.site.

We do not guarantee that your product(s) and/or service(s) will be approved to advertise through any or all of the third-party networks.

Therefore, Nowsite does not have access to private banking details and credit history at any point. To prevent abuses and fraud, Nowsite only stores your address and the transaction time and date. This data remains strictly confidential.
Any attempted fraud or deception, regardless of scope, will immediately lead to further action, as part of which all related transaction data might be forwarded to the authorities.
When you provide payment information to Nowsite or to one of its payment service providers, you establish that you are the authorized user of the card, PIN, key or account associated with that payment, and you authorize Nowsite to charge your credit card or to process your payment with the chosen third-party payment service provider for any purchases or fees chargeable to your account. Nowsite may require you to provide your address or other information in order to meet the Nowsite’s obligations under applicable tax law.
For subscriptions purchased, based on an agreed usage period, where recurring payments are made in exchange for continued use (“Recurring Payment Subscriptions”), by continuing to use the Recurring Payment Subscription, you agree and reaffirm that Nowsite is authorized to charge your credit card, or to process your payment with any other applicable third-party payment processor (such as PayPal), for any applicable recurring payment amounts. If you have purchased any Recurring Payment Subscriptions, you agree to notify Nowsite promptly of any changes to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your billing address, or your PayPal or other payment account number, and you agree to notify Nowsite promptly if your credit card or PayPal or other payment account expires or is canceled for any reason.
If your use of the Service and purchases are subject to any type of use or sales tax, then Nowsite may also charge you for those taxes, in addition to the Subscription or other fees published in the Terms.
You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on account eligibility, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose.

This Section does not prevent you from bringing your dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agencies that can, if the law allows, seek relief from us for you.
Arbitration is a proceeding before a neutral arbitrator, instead of before a judge or jury. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court, and provides more limited discovery. It follows different rules than court proceedings, and is subject to very limited review by courts. The arbitrator will issue a written decision and provide a statement of reasons if requested by either
party. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND NOWSITE ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
You and Nowsite agree to make reasonable efforts, in good faith, to informally resolve any dispute before initiating arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send the other a written notice that describes the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and sets forth the relief sought. If you and Nowsite do not reach an agreement to resolve that claim or dispute within 30 days after the notice is received, you or Nowsite may commence arbitration.Written notice to Nowsite must be sent via postal mail.
YOU AND NOWSITE AGREE NOT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR COLLECTIVE
ARBITRATION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE
INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENTOF THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. You and Nowsite also agree not to seek to combine any action or arbitration with any other action or arbitration without the consent of all parties to this Agreement and all other actions or arbitrations.
If the agreement in this section not to bring or participate in a class or representative action, private attorney general action or collective arbitration should be found illegal or unenforceable, you and Nowsite agree that it shall not be severable, that this entire section shall be unenforceable and any claim or dispute would be resolved in court and not in collective arbitration.
Notwithstanding this Section, you have the right to litigate any dispute in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the dispute, are satisfied.
These terms shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of some or all of the provisions, of this section alone, such provisions will not apply to you.
Except as otherwise expressly stipulated in these Terms of Use, in the event that any provision of these Terms of Use shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining portions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms of Use, Nowsite’s Privacy Policy and the Members Programs Terms and Conditions constitute and contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements.
