Services

 

Aptly Able provides marketing services to mass-market industries. Aptly Able Services include but are not limited to:

 

                  Customer Experience: Aptly Able will use our US-based call center to provide customer service support for client customers. All communications are inbound, or are returning inbound communication requests. We will use our award-winning customer engagement processes or client's approved processes for integration with customers. We're able to handle customer service, warranty registration, product activation, tier 1 troubleshooting, concierge services and a host of other customer services as needed by our clients. 

 

                  SnapShot Appraisal Service: Aptly Able created an online submission service for obtaining trade-in appraisals for potential customers without them having to bring their vehicle into the dealership. SnapShot Appraisal staff will attempt to determine if the potential customer has a vehicle to trade-in and if so, will provide the dealer-specific SnapShot Appraisal link that will take the potential customer to a website that showcases the dealership and walks the potential customer through providing information about his or her trade-in. All trade-in information is forwarded to the dealership and the potential customer is cautioned during his/her submission that the trade-in value provided is only an estimate until the vehicle is physically presented for review at the dealership. 

 

                  Smartlend Special Financing Leads: Aptly Able will use its marketing expertise to solicit requests from individuals who have poor credit to apply for special financing from the Customer. Once a potential customer fully opts in to receiving all communications from us and sends an information request to Smartlend through one of our or our affiliates’ websites, we will contact them using various methods and inform them that the specific Customer has engaged this service and is interested in working with them. The potential applicant then receives a text a link to one of Aptly Able websites designed to showcase the Customer’s product and/or services and collect some additional information from the potential customer. The customer is also given the opportunity to provide trade-in information via the SnapShot Appraisal service. 

 

                  Online and/or Email Marketing Services: Aptly Able will use its marketing expertise to obtain exclusive, opted-in contacts who are actively looking to buy the Customer’s product and/or service and who are interested in working with the Customer. Once contacts express interest in being contacted and are properly opted in, Aptly Able staff will engage with potential customers until it is determined they are ready to buy and an appointment is set for the Customer or they are not yet ready in which case information on the potential customer is sent via email for later follow up per the potential customer’s request.

You agree not to hold Aptly Able responsible for any wrong assumptions made in making such determinations. 

 

Payment.

 

Fees. The fixed fees and/or rates applicable to any Service are set out in the online order form for the Service (the "Fees"). They may include one-time fees (these are typically for setting up the Services) and recurring fees. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ONLINE ORDER FORM MAY ALSO SET OUT A RATE INCREASE THAT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE UPON THE EXPIRATION OF A PROMOTIONAL RATE. SUCH AN INCREASE WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE TO YOU. Otherwise, Aptly Able will give you at least 30-days prior written notice of any increase to the Fees.

 

Promotions. From time to time, Aptly Able may offer its Services to new or existing customers at discounted or promotional rates. You acknowledge that any such promotion is only applicable to one of your Services if the promotion or discount is clearly set out as applicable on the online order form used that you used to order the Service.

 

Expenses. Unless expressly set out otherwise in an applicable Service Description, you will reimburse Aptly Able for fees or other related expenses incurred by Aptly Able in relation to any third-party service described herein or in the Service Descriptions. 

 

Taxes.  All charges for the Services are exclusive of any taxes or fees. Except for taxes based on Aptly Able’s net income or for taxes which you provide a valid exemption certificate, you shall be responsible for payment of all applicable taxes that arise in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, value added, consumption, sales, use, gross receipts, excise, access, bypass, or other taxes, duties, fees, charges or surcharges.  Aptly Able will give effect to any valid exemption certificate provided to the extent it applies to any Service billed by Aptly Able to you following Aptly Able’s receipt of such exemption certificate.  Provided that Aptly Able timely identifies the taxes and fees payable by you, you shall indemnify, defend and hold Aptly Able harmless from payment and reporting of all such taxes and fees, including costs, expenses, and penalties incurred by Aptly Able in settling, defending or appealing any claims or actions brought against Aptly Able related to, or arising from, your non-payment of taxes or fees.

 

 

Non-payment.  If payment has not been received by the due date, Aptly Able may restrict, suspend or terminate the affected Services; and Aptly Able reserves the right to charge interest on the overdue payment at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less). You must dispute any charges for the Services in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence that forms the basis for the dispute; otherwise you waive any dispute or further recourse with respect to the applicable charges.  If a billing dispute is resolved in your favor and you withheld the disputed amount, no interest credits or penalties will apply.  If the dispute is resolved against you, and you withheld the disputed amount, you shall pay such withheld amount due plus interest from the date the payment was originally due. A dispute may not be based upon a claim that all or a portion of the charges for the Services were incurred by unauthorized users. You remain solely responsible for all use of Services ordered by you or billed to your account pursuant hereto, for determining who is authorized to use your service, and for promptly notifying Aptly Able of any unauthorized use.  In the event of nonpayment, Aptly Able reserves the right to assign the late balance to a collection agency and you agree to reimburse Aptly Able for all expenses related to its collection efforts, including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees.

After a period of one year’s time wherein no orders are placed, this Agreement will automatically terminate and your account will be closed. 

 

 

Refunds and Cancellations

 

We do not offer refunds for Services after they have been rendered. In order to cancel a Service and receive a refund, you must inform us 2 business days before the start of your scheduled campaign, as we make extensive use of automated services that have to be configured in advance, and cannot be stopped once they have been setup. If we do not receive notice by that date, no refund will be issued.

 

Service Description

 

We endeavor to describe and display the Site and Services as accurately as possible. While we try to be as clear as possible in explaining the Services, we do not guarantee that the Site is entirely accurate, current, or error-free.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, you should assume that all references to Services or “Solutions” made by Aptly Able or its employees/owners/affiliates are made because material connections exist between Aptly Able and the vendor of the mentioned products and services ("Vendor").

Because there may be a material connection between Aptly Able and Vendor(s) of products or services mentioned by Aptly Able staff, you should always assume that Aptly Able may be biased because of Aptly Able’s relationship with a Vendor and/or because Aptly Able has received or will receive something of value from a Vendor.

Any revenue or income statements or examples are based on actual results and/or estimates as may be stated. There is no guarantee that you will make these levels for yourself. If we know typical buyer results they are listed. Otherwise, we do not know typical buyer results and you should take that into consideration in your decision to use our product or service. As with any business, your results will vary and will be based on your personal capabilities, experience, knowledge, level of desire, work ethic, time invested and an infinite number of variables beyond our control, including variables we or you have not anticipated.

Waiver 

 

No waiver of any part of this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision. No term of this Agreement will be deemed to be waived by reason of any previous failure to enforce it. No term of this Agreement may be waived except in a writing signed by the party waiving enforcement.
