Usage
The planitlocal platform provides free-to-use tools to browse and begin to build their own local marketing campaigns. Users must register for a free account to fully complete and order their campaigns. By selecting their preferred media, the user is directed to begin to make selections about their desired geography to target, preferred ad size, design preferences and certain other preferences using a free, interactive map targeting tool.
Once the campaign selections are made, the user can simply add the campaign to their shopping cart and check out using a credit card. The planitlocal campaign will then begin the design and production process followed by implementing the approved campaign. Submitting an order for a campaign is an acceptance of these included planitlocal terms and conditions.
Provided To the Parties
It is the customer’s responsibility to supply information and design criteria required by the planitlocal platform that determines the ad campaign sought by customer and to load that information and criteria into the planitlocal website. Such information will include the media desired, the quantity and duration of the campaign, the channels of distribution, and certain ad design inputs if planitlocal is designing the ad for you.
The Company shall be responsible for taking the information and design criteria provided by a customer and producing a finished ad campaign product ready for delivery in quantity and form specified for distribution in the region and medium by customer.
For direct mail, the customer can supply their own mailing list or purchase one from planitlocal. If the customer uses their own list, they are responsible for its accuracy and any resulting delivery errors. For electronic media distribution, the customer is responsible for establishing necessary service provider accounts and providing accurate address lists; any errors from the list shall not be attributed to the Company.
The company is not responsible for the results of the customer’s ad campaign.
Customer shall be responsible for the content of the ad campaign product, and will not incorporate material that is unlawful, pornographic, offensive, defamatory, libelous, menacing, or threatening. Should Customer's use of the platform violate these terms or other laws and cause claims to be made against the Company, Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless from such claims.
Customer must obtain all permissions, licenses, and clearances for any proprietary material (e.g., copyrights, trademarks, images, personal information) used in the ad campaign. The Company reserves the right to modify or delete material it deems to expose it to legal claims.
The planitlocal platform operates on proprietary software owned by the Company. The customer obtains a limited license to use the software program only for creating an advertising campaign. No further license is given for other purposes, adaptation, or modification. Customer shall ensure that any uploaded material is compatible with the platform, free of viruses, and will not cause damage.

If printed material is found to be defective, you may contact planitlocal, LLC for a reprint or other compensation.
The Company will produce a draft of the advertising campaign for the customer's review. The customer has 10 days to notify the Company of any corrections. Planitlocal shall have 20 days to make corrections and return a revised draft for final approval. After approval, the campaign will be executed.
The Company’s responsibility for mailings ends upon delivery to the postal authority. Similarly, responsibility for electronic distribution ends upon delivery to the service provider.
