Terms of Service

Otter PR  Service Agreement

1. Terms of Otter PR’s Services

This Otter Love LLC Service Agreement (the “Service Agreement” or “Agreement”) is between _________ (“you” or “your” or “client”), with an address of _____________; if you are a corporate entity, ____________, your principal signing in their individual capacity (“principal”); and Otter Love LLC d/b/a Otter PR, Otter Leads, Otter Marketing, Otter Agency, and affiliates (“Otter PR”, “us,” “we”), a Florida limited liability company, with a principal office at 320 1st Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33701. Please read these terms carefully before submitting payment and signing this Agreement. 

By submission of your payment and electronic signature (the “Effective Date”), you agree to be bound by the terms of this Service Agreement, which is a subscription service that automatically renews based on the “Billing Cycle” you select at checkout, and we will automatically bill you the fee for those services (the “Fee”), based on the selected timeframe at checkout, the “Billing Cycle,” or by invoice. Unless documented in writing, all packages renew by the “Billing Cycle” until your subscription is canceled or terminated by using the cancellation form found on Schedule “A” below. The Billing Cycle is the timeframe you selected to be billed; we offer monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, and custom time frames. Once a plan renews, you are contractually obligated to finish the billing cycle, and no refunds will be provided. In this case, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. An example would be if you sign up for a year and only end up wanting to do ten months of service. Due to the prorated rate you received, we are not able to provide any partial refunds. During the Billing Cycle, you may upgrade your services but cannot downgrade. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you should not submit payment nor electronically sign this Agreement. Your payment and affirmative submission of your electronic signature on this Agreement, however, will evidence your understanding, consent, and knowledge of the foregoing and of the terms below. If you are a separate corporate entity, we require one or more of your principals to be jointly obligated for the Fee, and all other terms and conditions herein. For the avoidance of doubt, any principal(s) who is/are a party to this Agreement shall be jointly and severally liable for your failure to pay the Fee under this Agreement, and your breach of any other terms and conditions herein.

 2.  Services

Your Package – Otter PR offers you a variety of subscription and one-time services. Depending on the specific Package you select, Otter PR will provide you with certain public relations and marketing services, on a automatic per Billing Cycle basis, which may include advertising, lead generation, consultations, marketing, public relations writing

and communications for public distribution, social media development and evaluations, website development and evaluations, and tutoring (“Services”). As part of entering this Agreement, you must select a Package that specifically details our Services to you and the Fee for our Services to you (“Your Package”). Your Package may have its own specific terms and conditions, which are expressly integrated into this Agreement and Schedule “A.” If any term or provision contained in Your Package conflicts with, or is inconsistent with, any term or provision in this Service Agreement, the provisions contained in this Service Agreement shall govern and control. If any term or provision contained in the Payment Schedule Agreement conflicts with, or is inconsistent with, any term or provision in this Service Agreement, the provisions contained in the Payment Schedule Agreement shall govern and control. In the event of a conflict between the Service Agreement terms and Schedule A’s specific product terms, Schedule A will govern and control. Should you have multiple projects subject to different terms, each will be governed by its respective Schedule A terms and considered as separate services.

 You may modify Your Package by using the official Otter PR forms seen in Schedule “A.” All account changes require notice as outlined in Schedule “A”. For example, if account changes require more than seven (7) days’ notice pursuant to  Schedule “A,” and you pause, cancel, or modify your account on the 1st and your bill date is on the 7th, you will still be charged the full amount for the following Billing Cycle. If you elect to purchase the Essential Package and realize you would like additional Services, you may upgrade your package to the Executive Plan. As another example, if you find the Executive Package is slightly more than what you need, you are fully permitted to downgrade your Package to The Expert. Any modification to your package (including any modified services we provide you and any modified fee you pay us) will take effect at the start of the billing cycle immediately following your requested modification, provided the timeframe adheres to the notice window or as noted in writing by Otter PR. If you modify your Package, all such modifications to your Package will be governed by this Agreement and will continue indefinitely until canceled or terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding Package modification.

 Client Onboarding Form – All Packages require you to complete an Onboarding Form, which includes acknowledgment and signing of our terms of service (“Terms of Service”). The Onboarding Form is an opportunity for our team to get to know you better.

Strategy Plan – Once we start our Services to you, we may (but are not required to) provide you with a “Strategy Plan.” The Strategy Plan we create for you is our initial proposed course of action for the start of our Services, which serves to outline our proposed initial Services and proposed completion dates for those initial Services. Importantly, while the purpose of the Strategy Plan is to serve as a proposal for you, and to assist you and us in the execution and delivery of your Services, the actual execution and delivery of your Services are dependent on multiple factors; and the manner in which your actual Services are provided are in our sole discretion. Accordingly, you understand and agree

that any failure to meet any proposed service or proposed date as may be stated in the Strategy Plan shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement. If you disagree with any proposal in the Strategy Plan, you may request that we revise the Strategy Plan, and we will work with you to create a satisfactory Strategy Plan. To ensure you have received and reviewed the Strategy Plan, we will require that you sign and return to us a copy of the signed Strategy Plan prior to any Services being provided.

 Your Delivery of the Strategy Plan and Onboarding Form – Any delay in you returning to us the signed Strategy Plan or the completed Onboarding Form will delay the start of your Services. However, you understand and agree that any delay in the creation or approval of the Strategy Plan, your delivery of the signed Strategy Plan to us, or your completion of the Onboarding Form, will not in any way pause or delay your obligations of payment for the Fee owed to us under your Package. Furthermore, you understand and agree that all guarantees provided under Section 7 of this Agreement are void, and no refunds will be provided to you, if the Strategy Plan is not signed and returned to us, or if the Onboarding Form is not completed and returned to us, at least twenty (20) days before any request by you for the guarantee or the refund is made to us (as applicable). If any term or provision contained in the Strategy Plan, the Onboarding Form, Proposal, or the Terms of Service conflicts with, or is inconsistent with, any term or provision in this Service Agreement, the provisions contained in this Service Agreement shall govern and control.

This Section (including Section A, B, C, F, and G) shall survive any cancellation or termination of this Agreement.

 4. Automatic Payment Terms and Billing

Otter PR is a subscription service and, unless otherwise memorialized in a separate payment schedule agreement, payments for the Fee are invoiced and/or collected automatically by the Billing Cycle or as noted on the package and shall continue indefinitely until canceled or terminated (as provided under Section 8 of this Agreement). At checkout and upon signing this Agreement, you must provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (“Payment Method”). We may update the accepted methods from time to time.

 Annual Service Cost Increase: Commencing 12 months from the service commencement date (“Commencement Date”), and on each subsequent anniversary of the Commencement Date thereafter for the duration of this agreement, the cost of the service provided under this agreement shall automatically increase by five percent (5%) of the then- current service cost. This increase shall be automatically charged to the client’s billing method on file, in accordance with the payment details provided by the client. By entering into this agreement, the client acknowledges and agrees to this annual service cost increase provision.

When you sign this Agreement, unless otherwise invoiced separately, your first cycle for the Fee will be billed immediately to your selected Payment Method. Furthermore, by signing this Agreement, you consent and authorize us to charge you and your Payment Method for your initial subscription period and the recurring Fee, or otherwise agree to pay Otter PR within thirty (30) days of receipt of your invoice for services (your “Invoice”) at the then current rate, which may change from time to time. You agree you remain responsible for all Fees under the terms of this Service Agreement until you have cancelled your subscription with us or this Agreement is terminated. All subscription services renew by the Billing Cycle unless specified notice at checkout.

 In the event you sign this Agreement on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you became a customer on January 31st, and you are on a monthly plan your next payment date for your Monthly Invoice is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your subscription.

 In the event you modify Your Package, the new billing rate for Your Package will take effect at the start of the Billing Cycle following your requested modification.

You may edit your Payment Method information by contacting us at the billing email found in Schedule “A” or using this Update Payment Form found in Schedule “A.” If a subscription payment is not successfully settled due to the expiration of your credit/debit card, insufficient funds, or otherwise, you will remain responsible for any unpaid Fees, and you authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method or any other payment method you have provided, as it may be updated.

 Any failed timely payment for Fees, either from you or a third-party institution paying on your behalf, will have a delinquent service charge of $150.00 per occurrence. Failed or missed payments will not constitute a cancellation, and payment due will continue to accrue automatically as regularly scheduled. In addition, any unpaid Fees will accumulate interest on the unpaid balance at one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, compounding interest, accruing from the date of the initial unpaid Fees, or otherwise at the highest interest rate allowed under the law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You understand and agree that the amounts to be collected are not for a loan. Any unilateral deduction from Otter PR’s Fees will be deemed a breach of this Agreement. If you dispute your delinquent Fees, it must be in writing to Otter PR no later than seven (7) days after the billing to Your Payment Method. After this period, the Fees shall be deemed final and is to be paid in full without any further or future claims to the amount of the invoice. If any payment for Fees that are not otherwise in dispute is not timely received by Otter PR in accordance with the terms and conditions herein, you shall be deemed in default of this Agreement. You agree to pay all fees, costs, and expenses incurred by Otter PR in connection with any suit, action, or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, even if not recoverable by law.

  You authorize Otter PR to electronically debit or credit your bank account, business bank account, credit card, debit card, PayPal account, or any other payment account that has been provided as a Payment Method to Otter PR from time to time. You consent to using 3rd party validation tools such as Stripe, Plaid, Authorize.net, Intuit, or others to process payments. You acknowledge that electronic debits against your account must comply with United States law. This payment authorization remains in effect until you, the customer, notify Otter PR of cancellation by completing the cancellation form within the Cancellation Notice Window before the next bill date. You consent to automatic payments, electronic debits, or credits. You understand that Otter PR may change billing dates based on holidays, extensions, account credits, and other needs at Otter PR’s sole discretion. You agree and understand that any requested change to your billing must be made to Otter PR by completing and submitting the official Otter PR form as seen on Schedule “A,” and such submission must be acknowledged in writing and confirmed by the billing department. Requests not acknowledged in writing by Otter PR’s billing department, or not submitted on the official Otter PR form, will not be deemed received or processed. Once you receive confirmation from our billing department regarding your requested changes, please allow seven (7) days for processing before those changes take effect. The terms for the Cancellation

Notice Window and Billing Cycle still apply, including any requested cancellation or pause to your services, in accordance with Section 8 herein.

 Credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, and other platforms may require a 3% fee at checkout. Manual billing or invoicing may require a 5% fee. Payment by Plaid, or automatic ACH (eChecks) on Otter PR’s website will not receive any added transaction fees unless stated in writing.

 5.  Disputed Payments and Default

Otter PR makes every effort to be fully transparent in its payment terms and reminders. You must agree to our payment terms before engaging with Otter PR; therefore, you acknowledge liability for payments made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Otter PR is not responsible for sending billing reminders; it is your responsibility to keep track of your own accounts. If payments are disputed through a bank, in this case, ALL SALES ARE FINAL, and we will be required to challenge any disputes.

 You agree that any dispute regarding this Agreement, and any claim made by you for return of monies paid to Otter PR shall be handled in accordance with applicable laws of the State of Florida. Specifically, if you seek to cancel credit card payments (or file a chargeback) for any Fees, then all guarantees are void, the full contracted agreement amount will become due, no additional work will be due to you, and your rights are canceled (including, without limitation, the license granted to you under Section 3 herein), and Otter PR reserves the right to dispute such cancellation and pursue you for monies owed to Otter PR for Services already performed but unpaid by you due to such credit card cancellation. You agree that, regardless of whether you are ultimately successful in any credit card cancellation dispute, you are liable to pay Otter PR for the full payment owed at the time of the dispute and any additional work done in processing or defending the dispute at an hourly rate of $350 per hour for all hours spent on your account. For example, if you are under a three (3) month agreement and you dispute the payment one (1) month in, you are still required to make the full three (3) month payment. In addition, regardless of whether you are ultimately successful in any credit card cancellation dispute, you agree that you are liable for any late fees and interest as provided in Section 4. Otter PR will provide you with an itemization of additional hours spent within a reasonable time upon your written request and payment will be expected in full within thirty (30) days from the date such itemization is provided. If you do not pay for such hourly work on Otter PR’s demand and within thirty (30) days, Otter PR reserves the right to initiate an action for breach of this Agreement, regardless of the previous outcome of any credit card cancellation dispute. Additionally, Otter PR reserves the right to pursue against you for the fees and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) Otter PR had incurred in disputing or defending such credit card cancellation, including but not limited to the lost business profits in the form of time Otter PR and its representatives spent handling such dispute, at Otter PR’s hourly rate of $350. This provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of this Agreement. You agree

that prior to any arbitration filing or other filings for any claim of Otter PR’s alleged breach of this Agreement, You will provide notice to Otter PR in accordance with the notice provisions herein and allow Otter PR thirty (30) days to cure the alleged breach as a condition precedent to filing a claim.

 7. The Otter PR Guarantee

A.  Subject to Schedule “A” Otter PR may occasionally offer a guarantee depending on the specific services and packages selected. Specifically, Otter PR will meet the stated Successes or Guarantees provided in Schedule “A” within a set time listed in Schedule “A” the ” Guarantee Notice Date”, or Otter PR will refund you a max of one (1) month’s Fees at the then current Package you selected or as listed in Schedule “A.” If no guarantee is listed in Schedule “A” for your given services, then ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

 B.  The following definitions and limitations apply to the Otter PR Guarantee based on your selected package there may be more details provided in Schedule “A”:

a.      “Commencement of the Package” means the date you select and commence payment for Your Package subject to the guarantee. For example, if on January 1st, you signed this Agreement and started paying for

the Essential Package, then the Commencement of the Package, for the Essential Package, means January 1st. Under that same example, if on February 1st you upgrade your package from The Essential to The Expert Package, then the Commencement of the Package, for the expert Package, is February 1st. This holds true unless a requested delay in start date is requested and approved, then the Commencement of the Package will be the first day of service provided.

b.     The “Guarantee Notice Date” refers to the specific date when you formally notify Otter PR of any

anticipated inability to fulfill the agreed-upon guarantees. This notification must be submitted in writing to the refund request form https://otterpr.com/refund-request/. From the date of this notice, Otter PR has 90 days to fulfill all previously agreed-upon guarantees. Notice must be given within 15 days after the scheduled fulfillment date of the guarantee. Failure to provide notice within this 15-day window will result in forfeiture of the guarantee.

c.      For all requests regarding adjustments or corrections (“Refund Requests”), it is required to strictly follow

the “Guarantee Notice Date” protocol. Upon sending a notification in accordance with this protocol, Otter PR must be given a minimum of 90 days to address the issue or meet the agreed-upon guarantees. If this minimum period to rectify the situation is not provided, the right to receive a refund will be forfeited.

d.     The Otter PR public relations packages and prices changed on October 1st, 2022. If you are on a

grandfathered pricing plan or paid before (Commencement) October 1st, 2022 your package guarantee is limited to Guarantee Publication: “Special Offer” or Essential = 1 Success, Expert = 2 Successes, Executive = 3 Successes. No other guarantees or commitments are owed unless put in writing and signed by the Otter PR team.

e.      Otter PR reserves the right to void any guarantees extended to its clients in the event that criminal charges,

legal issues, or other publicly known transgressions involving the client come to light. The efficacy of our services is fundamentally dependent on transparency and the disclosure of such issues. A failure to disclose, or inadequately document, these matters to Otter PR in writing prior to the commencement of services can substantially hinder our capacity to achieve the desired outcomes. Should such issues not be disclosed or are discovered later, or if their full extent is not properly documented before the initiation of our services, Otter PR retains the unequivocal right to terminate the working relationship with the client. In such cases, all fees owed to Otter PR for services rendered will be due, no refunds will be provided, and all sales are final.

f.      THE OTTER PR GUARANTEE UNDER SECTION 7 IS VOID IF: (1) YOU DO NOT REPLY TO THE

TEAM IN WRITING WITH THE NECESSARY INFORMATION WITHIN 48 HOURS OF COMMUNICATION BY OTTER PR; OR (2) YOU TURN DOWN OR REJECT ANY OF OUR PLACEMENTS OR STRATEGY, OR (3) YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THE ONBOARDING FORM

 8.  Cancellation / Pausing / Credits / Extensions / Buyer’s Remorse

a.      You may cancel this Agreement based on your Billing Cycle by completing the cancelation form as seen in Schedule “A” and letting us know that you wish to cancel your subscription. For your cancellation to take

effect without a charge on the following Billing Cycle, you must submit your cancellation request within the Cancellation Notice Window as noted in Schedule “A” before your renewal date. Upon timely receipt of your cancellation request, this Agreement will terminate on your renewal date. Once a plan renews, you are contractually obligated to finish the billing cycle, and no refunds will be provided. It is your responsibility to track billing dates; Otter PR is NOT responsible for sending reminders.

b.     You may pause your account by submitting a pause request form, as detailed in Schedule “A”, following the

Cancellation Notice Window. Pauses will take effect at the start of the next Billing Cycle. However, if the pause request is made too close to the next Billing Cycle, as dictated by the Cancellation Notice Window, you will still be required to make the next scheduled payment. This action secures your current pricing for up to sixty (60) days (the “Pause Period”). After the Pause Period, your account will automatically resume, and billing will recommence as per this Agreement. By initiating a pause, you agree to make at least one more full payment and complete an additional billing cycle. Your account may be paused no more than once in any six- month period, and the Otter PR retainer program is not eligible for pauses.

d.     ALL SALES ARE FINAL. Once an order is placed, it will not be refunded for “buyer’s remorse” or any other

reason unless directly related to an Otter PR guarantee listed in Schedule “A.” Refusing service will not result in a refund or credit.

e.      If you need a refund for any reason, you must request a refund using our refund request form found in Schedule “A”. Refunds will not be provided unless stated in our terms at Otter PR’s sole discretion. Refund

requests may take up to 10 business days to review by the Otter PR team. If you dispute the payment before Otter PR makes a decision, you forfeit any rights to a refund and will be contractually obligated to make a repayment in full for any disputed payments. Refund request forms must be submitted within fifteen (15) days of the last day of service, or they will be automatically denied.

f.      If you need a refund for any reason, Otter PR may, in its sole discretion, offer a max refund in an amount not to

exceed the equivalent value of thirty (30) days of Fees paid to Otter PR by you for Services (“Refund Limit”).

Otter PR does not control the outlets or placements but will make efforts to correct and prevent issues.

Regarding rewrites, if an approved article is rejected by you, the client, Otter PR allows up to two (2) full rewrites before the guarantee becomes void. A rewrite is defined as any alteration where more than 15% of the article is modified at Otter PR’s discretion and then submitted for approval to an editor, outlet, or media platform. After two (2) rewrites, there is an allowance for one (1) additional attempt. At this stage, Otter PR will assume complete ownership of the content and will be responsible for obtaining approval.
