Welcome to IT Services Advisor! This Agreement (“Agreement”) governs your relationship with IT Services Advisor, LLC. In this Agreement, we will refer to you, the member Service Professional, and all of your d/b/a’s, affiliates, agents, employees, representatives and subcontractors as “you,” “SP,” “Service Professional” or “member” and to IT Services Advisor, LLC. and its employees and agents as “we” or “us” or “IT Services Advisor.” Other Service Professionals who have joined IT Services Advisor’s network are referred to in this Agreement as “Service Professionals,” “SPs,” or “members.” Unless otherwise stated, all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement that apply generally to Service Professionals also apply to and bind you. References herein to the IT Services Advisor “Website” include any and all websites now, or hereafter, owned or operated by IT Services Advisor. These Terms & Conditions were last updated on October 1st, 2019. Updated material terms are bolded and underlined.

What We Agree.

a. With Respect to Lead Purchasing Members.

IT Services Advisor receives requests from businesses and other persons (“customers”) expressing interest in certain services relating to IT technology, repair, installation and other types of services and projects (“service requests”). These service requests from customers may be submitted directly or indirectly to IT Services Advisor by customers via the IT Services Advisor Website, emails, third party websites or other means. In turn, IT Services Advisor may send you a communication about a customer’s service request that contains information about what service has been requested and the customer’s contact information (a “Lead”). We may also send your contact information to the customer. The information we provide about you will be based on the information you submit during the Company Profile Interview (which you may amend from time to time) and Customer Ratings & Reviews, and may be amended by IT Services Advisor from time to time. Leads may also be sent to other member service professionals based on the category of the service request.
We limit the number of Service Professionals that are matched to a customer. We do not guarantee to provide you any specific number of Leads, nor do we make guarantees, representations or warranties regarding a customer’s level of interest, their desire to have work completed, their ability to pay you, the accuracy of the information provided by the customers, or that any customers will hire you to perform services, nor do we guarantee that you will successfully contact each customer. We are not involved in, nor do we have any responsibility for your contracts with customers, their creditworthiness, or any payments to you or any disputes they may have with you or you may have with them. IT Services Advisor is free to contract with other Service Professionals as this is not an exclusive contract.
We provide customers with the ability to rate their experience working with you via Customer Ratings & Reviews. You will also have the ability to solicit and collect ratings and reviews from any of your customers, which may or may not be displayed online, in IT Services Advisor’s sole discretion.
For Service Professionals using IT Services Advisor’s Exact Match Services (not available in Canada), IT Services Advisor shall endeavor to generate click-throughs to the SP’s listing and online profile page and calls to the Exact Match Numbers (defined below), based upon the profile information supplied by SP. IT Services Advisor shall provide for the hosting of the SP online profile page (which may appear in the IT Services Advisor online and elsewhere on the Internet, however, SP is solely responsible for all content provided by SP that appears on SP’s online profile page. IT Services Advisor shall provide the telephone numbers unique to SP’s online profile page (“Exact Match Numbers”). In addition, customers will be able to complete a service request on the SP online profile page. A submission of a service request by a customer on SP’s online profile page, or via a telephone call to SP’s Exact Match Number shall constitute an “Exact Match Lead.” In addition, a lead will be deemed to be an Exact Match Lead anytime a customer is presented with your information and indicates that they desire to be connected with you (whether by clicking on “Request a Quote”, indicating to a IT Services Advisor representative that they would like to be connected to you, or otherwise indicating that they desire to contact you).
If your IT Services Advisor rating drops to two (2) stars or below, you will no longer be permitted to purchase leads from IT Services Advisor until you raise your rating above two (2) stars (although your directory listing will remain active). You will have the ability to improve your rating by acquiring additional positive reviews to lift the rating. However, you will not be able to use references from non-IT Services Advisor consumers to increase your rating, you must obtain additional consumer reviews submitted through the IT Services Advisor platform. Once your rating is greater than two stars, you will regain your eligibility to purchase leads.

b. With Respect to Subscription Members:

You may purchase a subscription to receive services including: Placement in IT Services Advisor’s directory product which is displayed on the IT Services Advisor Website and Customer Ratings and Reviews solicitation. You may be displayed among service professionals who are members of IT Services Advisor affiliate companies, including Angie’s List, some of whom may have been subject to different screening criteria than the screening you are required to undergo.

In the event you purchase a subscription and elect to appear in the SearchDirectory, your business listing may appear on the Pro Reviews section of the IT Services Advisor Website, in response to requests from customers for contractors in the project categories that you have indicated to us that you perform, in geographic locations where you have told us your perform services. IT Services Advisor does not make any representations or warranties regarding how often your listing and/or profile (including any ratings or reviews) will appear or be viewed, or where or on what page of the Pro Reviews tab your listing will appear, or your conversion rate for impressions or views of your profile page. You will also have the ability to solicit and collect ratings and reviews from any of your customers, which may or may not be displayed in SearchDirectory, in IT Services Advisor’s sole discretion. In addition, the telephone number displayed with your listing shall be your actual telephone number that you provide to IT Services Advisor (unless your listing is appearing as an Exact Match listing).

Miscellaneous. If you pause or turn off your leads, when you turn them back on, a new monthly spend target cycle will be created, such that it is possible your monthly spend target could be exceeded in less than one calendar month. Additionally, your exact spend target may be exceeded in the normal course of events by a Lead or two because our matching algorithm will send a Lead up until the precise point your spend target is exceeded (i.e. if your spend target is $500, and you are currently at $480, you may still receive at Lead valued at $40, at which point you would not receive any more leads as you would have exceeded $500).
