The intellectual property rights in any Content, including any trademarks, provided by Third Parties via the Service are owned by such Third Parties or their licensors and may be subject to separate Terms and Conditions of those Third Parties.

" LINKS " The HoustonBusinessListing.com Web Pages may include links to other World Wide Web sites or resources provided by Third Parties over which HoustongBusinessListing.com exercises no control. The search results that appear from HoustonBusinessListing.com's indices are indexed by HoustonBusinessListing.com's automated machinery and computers, and HoustonBusinessListing.com cannot and does not screen the sites before including them in the indices from which such automated search results are gathered. Because HoustonBusinessListing.com has no control over such links, sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that HoustonBusinessListing.com is not responsible for the availability of such links, external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such links, sites or resources. You further acknowledge and agree that HoustonBusinessListing.com shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such Content, goods or services available on or through any such link, site or resource. 15. " REQUESTS FOR REMOVAL OF LINKS FROM INDICES " HoustonBusinessListing.com occasionally receives requests to remove links from its indices that generate web results. Although HoustonBusinessListing.com reserves the right to address such requests individually, HoustonBusinessListing.com is generally not willing to remove any links from its indices. HoustonBusinessListing.com's indices consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated process with no advance review by human beings. Given the enormous volume of web site information added, deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, HoustonBusinessListing.com cannot and does not screen anything made available through its indices. For each web site reflected in HoustonBusinessListing.com's indices, if either (a) a site owner restricts access to his or her web site or (b) a site is taken down from the web, then, upon receipt of a request by the site owner or a third party in the second instance, HoustonBusinessListing.com would consider on a case-by-case basis requests to remove the link to that site from its indices. However, if the operator of the site does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities used to create the indices are likely to find that site and index it again in a relatively short amount of time. 16. " MAP INFORMATION " Map information provided through the Service is intended for planning purposes only. You may find that construction projects, traffic conditions or other events may differ from the map results. You may not delete or in any manner alter the copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices appearing in any map information provided on the Service. 17. " INDEMNIFICATION " You agree to release, indemnify, defend and hold harmless HoustonBusinessListing.com, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliates, and its and their shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims (including claims without legal merit or brought in bad faith), demands, damages, costs or expenses, causes of action, suits, proceedings, judgments, awards, executions and liens, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs (whether brought by third parties or otherwise) (collectively, "Claims") relating to or arising from any breach by you of this Agreement or from your use of the Service. HoustonBusinessListing.com reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, which will not excuse your indemnity obligations under this Section. 18. " PROPRIETARY INFORMATION " You acknowledge and agree that the HoustonBusinessListing.com Web Pages and any Content, services or software available through or used in connection with the HoustonBusinessListing.com Web Pages contain proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws. You further acknowledge and agree that Content contained in advertisements or information presented to you through the HoustonBusinessListing.com Web Pages or by advertisers is protected by copyright, trademarks, service marks, patents or other proprietary rights and laws.

" TRADEMARK INFORMATION " You acknowledge and agree that HoustonBusinessListing.com and other HoustonBusinessListing.com logos, products and service names are trademarks of HoustonBusinessListing.com ("HoustonBusinessListing.com Marks") and you agree that you will not display or use the HoustonBusinessListing.com Marks in any manner, without the express written permission of HoustonBusinessListing.com. 20. " TERMINATION; ACCESS RESTRICTION " HoustonBusinessListing.com may terminate this Agreement, or terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice.

HoustonBusinessListing.com may discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service with or without notice. 21.

If this Agreement is with a HoustonBusinessListing.com affiliate, claims for enforcement, breach or violation of duties or rights under this Agreement will be adjudicated under the laws of the place of incorporation for such HoustonBusinessListing.com affiliate, without reference to conflict of laws principles. All other claims, including, without limitation, claims under or for violation of consumer protection laws, unfair competition laws, and in tort, will be adjudicated under the laws of your state of residence in the United States, or, if you reside outside the United States, under the laws of the country to which the subject HoustonBusinessListing.com Web Pages are directed. If this Agreement is with HoustonBusinessListing.com, you hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state or federal courts in Harris County, Texas, USA in all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the use of the Service. If this Agreement is with an HoustonBusinessListing.com affiliate, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in the place of incorporation for such HoustonBusinessListing.com affiliate in all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the use of the Service. Use of the Service is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation this Section. 22. " INTERPRETING THE AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT " If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in effect. A printed version of this Agreement and any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. HoustonBusinessListing.com may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you. You may not assign this Agreement. Except as expressly stated herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and HoustonBusinessListing.com with respect to the Service and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Local.com with respect to the Service. The section titles in the Agreement are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance. 23. " YOU HAVE LIMITED TIME TO BRING YOUR CLAIM " YOU AND HOUSTONBUSINESSLISTING.COM AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. 24.
