With respect to any Member’s paid advertising on the Site, in the event of a conflict between the terms of Section 11 and any other Section of the Terms of Service, Section 11 shall govern.
11.1 Placement. Lawgical will use all reasonable efforts to provide Member with conspicuous placement on the Site so that, consistent with the scope of the applicable IO, an Advertisement is provided on the Site specified within the IO when such Site is called up by an End User; provided, however, Lawgical may at its sole and absolute discretion (a) add to or change the placement of Advertisements appearing on its Site, and/or (b) change its advertising structure to “cpc” or “bid model” or “new ad real estate.”

Member may cancel this Agreement as it pertains to any Monthly Payment Method Advertisement at any time with a 30 day written notice to Lawgical 11693 San Vicente #910, Los Angeles CA, 90049 or by email info@lawgical. Member may not cancel an Annual Quote under any circumstances prior to the end of the term of his, her or its Membership. Member will be contacted prior to the end of annual agreement regarding renewal.
11.8 Other Services. Lawgical may offer or provide certain ancillary services to Members from time-to-time, including, for example, search engine marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), its branded products such as Lawgical Local, Sales Booster, Google Adwords and other consulting services. All such services shall be subject to the following:
12.1 Pricing. The following terms contained in this Section 12 shall solely govern End Users’ use of the Lawgical property, ServeManager, located at the URL: http://www.servemanager.com (“SM Site”). ServeManager is made available on a pay-as-you-go basis. End Users may try ServeManager risk free for thirty (30) days which may be extended in Lawgical’s sole and absolute discretion (the “Trial Period”). End Users may or may not be required to provide a credit card for the Trial Period, but will be required to provide one if they elect to continue with a paid plan after the Trial Period. The paid plans and corresponding monthly rates can be found on the pricing schedule under the “Pricing” tab on the SM Site. Among other factors, monthly rates are determined by End User’s number of jobs per month. By providing a credit card and electing a paid plan, End User acknowledges and agrees that End User’s credit card will be charged the applicable rate in advance on a monthly basis and will continue to be billed every month thereafter until End User cancels the service by contacting customer service.
In the event End User’s number of monthly jobs decreases such that End User’s needs require a different paid plan, End User must contact customer service to request the change. In the event End User’s number of monthly jobs decreases such that a paid plan with a lower rate is required, End User understands and agrees that no refund will be given for the downgrade. End User’s credit card will be charged at the lower rate the following month and continuously thereafter until another paid plan change is requested or service is cancelled. In the event End User’s number of monthly jobs increases such that a paid plan with a higher rate is required, End User acknowledges and agrees that End User’s credit card will be charged the difference between the current rate and the higher rate on a pro rata basis for the month in which the change is requested. In addition, the credit card will be charged the higher rate the following month and continuously thereafter until another paid plan change is requested or service is cancelled.
End User understands and agrees that there will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, downgrade refunds or refunds for months unused with an open account. Fees for all services, including but not limited to monthly fees, are subject to change upon notice. Such notice may be provided by an email message or in the form of an announcement on the SM Site. In addition, special pricing may apply for End Users with an exceptionally high number of jobs per month.
12.2 Data and Cancellation. End User understands that all information, data, text, software, graphics, messages or other materials (“Data”) are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Data originated. Lawgical reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to pre-screen, flag, filter, refuse, modify or move any Data available via ServeManager. End User understands and agrees that Lawgical is not responsible for any sensitive Data that End User shares with others in any upload, post, transmission or other format whatsoever via ServeManager.
In the event of cancellation, End User acknowledges and agrees that Lawgical may retain all Data transmitted or uploaded through ServeManager. However, End User may request release or deletion of the Data, in some circumstances. To the extent End User has shared Data with another party using the SM Site, such Data cannot be deleted by Lawgical. In addition, Data cannot be deleted by Lawgical when a third party process server (“Third Party Server”) is used. End User understands and agrees that job requests transmitted through ServeManager may be forwarded to a Third Party Server for processing. The Third Party Server may add notes, data, service attempts or other job related information to the job request. In such case, the information in the job request belongs to both Lawgical and the Third Party Server and, consequently, the job request, including End User’s Data, cannot be deleted by Lawgical. In situations where Data can be deleted by Lawgical and End User requests deletion of his/her Data, End User understands and agrees that the Data will be deleted in a reasonable amount of time and once deleted it cannot be recovered.
If End User requests release of the Data, the Data may be transmitted digitally, or copied to write-once media and delivered to End User by courier in an unencrypted format. Lawgical makes no guarantees as to the formatting of the delivered Data. Lawgical reserve the right to charge a fee for transmission and delivery of the Data.
End User understands and agrees that a request for deletion or release of the Data must be made at the time of cancellation of service. End User is responsible for properly cancelling service and may do so with thirty days prior notice made to customer service. If End User cancels service before the end of the current paid up month, End User’s cancellation will take effect immediately, no refund will be given and End User will not be charged again.
