WHEREAS the Client desires Secure Independence (known as SI) to provide, and SI agrees to provide, certain commercial Internet services for Client in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; NOW THEREOF SI and the Client agree as follows: 1. Services: SI shall provide the Services as further described in these rules, regulations, policies, procedures and agreements for the Client. This Agreement shall act as the master agreement and cover all future Services contracted for by the Client from SI. Schedules may be added to this Agreement and modified from time to time upon the agreement of the parties hereto, and each Schedule, as added or so modified, and mutually agreed upon, shall become incorporated into and form part of the terms of this Agreement. 2. Terms and Conditions: The Terms and Conditions attached to this agreement form an integral part of this agreement, are enforceable and binding as between the parties hereto and should be read by the Client before execution. 3. Termination of Service: SI may terminate any or all Services in this Agreement immediately, without further obligation to the Client in the event of any violation of SI's Terms and Conditions or on site policy as posted on the SI's Corporate Website or at the location defined in each of the Schedules of Services. SI reserves the right to monitor access to this service and to remove, at its sole discretion and without prior notice any informational material or software which it believes to be unlawful or objectionable. Violations of the Client Terms and Conditions are unethical and may be criminal offenses. 4. Compliance: SI will not be in compliance with the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (E.C.P.A.). SI reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. 5. Confidentiality: Each party shall maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information disclosed by the other party, including the existence and terms of this Agreement, and shall not copy or use any such confidential information except as allowed by this Agreement. The foregoing shall not apply to information which is or becomes publicly known otherwise than by reason of a breach of this Agreement or has been independently developed outside this scope of this Agreement. 6. Force Majeure: If at any time during the Term of this Agreement SI is unable to provide the Services by reason of the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure, SI will be excused from the performance of its obligations hereunder, during the continuance of such liability, provided that SI provides notice of the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure within 75 hours of its occurrence and takes reasonable measures to prevent or remove the Force Majeure. Force Majeure means a fire, wind, flood, epidemic, earthquake, snowstorm, ice buildup, or any other act of Nature, explosion, equipment malfunction, damage to equipment or facilities, strike, riots, any government ordinance or any governmental regulation or order of any court, fraud, breaches of system security or any other event not within reasonable control of SI, which renders continued provision of the Services under this Agreement illegal, unsafe or impracticable. 7. Copyrights: Without prior written approval by SI, Client will not use the SI forms, trade name and/or trademark in any advertising other than that provided by SI. 8. Procedures: a) Client gives SI permission to do whatever is necessary to assist in getting the best possible rankings in the search engines. Techniques may include, but are not limited to, getting rankings by creating full page ads of Client's website, getting rankings by recreating a separate website, or getting rankings by creating blogs, RSS feeds, press releases, or social networking. Client understands that SI works within the rules of the search engines and maintains the highest integrity while using the latest techniques to obtain the best results. b) Client gives SI permission to generate keyword phrases. Techniques may include, but are not limited to, scraping Client's website and Client's competitors’ websites. Client may also submit keyword phrases when they place their order. Client will receive a list of the generated phrases and has three (3) days to respond if changes are requested. Beyond the three days, if no changes are requested, Client fully accepts the list of phrases generated by SI to be used for this account. Client may also submit additional phrases at any time in the future to be added to the phrases already being used. 9. Payments: a) If Client mails, faxes, emails, or uses any other form of electronic transmission to send a check to SI, Client agrees to give SI permission to debit Client's account electronically; b) If Client decides to use a credit card and for any reason there is a discrepancy, Client agrees to resolve the charge directly with SI.; c) If Client attempts to put a stop payment on a check, or issue a charge back on a credit card, Client's actions may be construed as fraud. If Client is under a contract, said Client would then be responsible for the full payment due while SI would reserve the right to terminate Client's services. In addition, Client may face legal action. 10. Cancellation: a) Client understands there is no long term commitment to this agreement. Client may cancel at any time. b) Client is responsible for showing proof of cancellation upon request. Client may cancel via certified mail, so Client has copy of receipt. Client may cancel by phone, but Client is responsible for keeping record of cancellation number provided by SI. Client may cancel by email, but cancellation must be sent from same email address SI has on file and Client must include current form of payment in cancellation email that SI has on file for validation. SI would then reply to email with cancellation number that must be kept by Client for proof of cancellation. SI is not responsible for any Client claiming to have cancelled without providing SI a certified letter receipt, or providing SI the originally generated SI cancellation number that was provided by either phone or email. 11. Guarantees: a) Proven Performance Guarantee - SI performs as promised - or SI doesn't get paid. SI only debits Client's account or charges Client's credit card - once monthly - and ONLY for the number of Top 10 Ranked Positions achieved, times $1 per Ranked Position. b) Low Monthly Fee "Ceiling" Guarantee - No matter how many Top 10 Ranked Positions are achieved the maximum Client can ever be charged is only $99 per month. c) Lifetime Price Guarantee - Client will never pay any price increases SI may have for the website Client is submitting today. d) Money Back Guarantee - Client understands that if SI does not achieve a minimum of 99 top 10 rankings on page one of Google, Yahoo, or Bing within the first 60 days, that client's initial setup fee of $198 will be refunded in full and Client's account will be discontinued. Client also understands that there is no refund for any other reason.

When the report is generated, it will show how many rankings are in Google, Yahoo, and MSN. The report will also show Client's charge for that month. If Client does not have any Top 10 positions in Google, Yahoo, or MSN, there will be no charge for that month. 14. Client understands the maximum Client can ever pay per month is $99 and that any and all additional ranked positions beyond the $99 charge are FREE! 15.

SI is not responsible for how many clicks (traffic) or sales said Client gets. The number of clicks (traffic) or sales a Client receives is based on Client's own ability to sell Client's product or service, the quality of Client's website, and the demand for Client's product or service. 16. If Client elects to take advantage of SI's Search Engine work, said Client fully understands that once they are ranked, that any attempt to not live up to the financial obligation of their agreement may result in the loss of their domain name and web pages which would then become the property of SI until Client would make good on full payment of financial obligation. Additionally, in some instances once a URL (domain name) is relinquished, that domain name may not ever be available to the Client again. 17. If Client elects to go with the Search Engine work, said Client fully understands that any extra website pages, or domain names, that are created by SI to assist in the rankings for the Client are the property of SI. 18. Agreement: a) Client has read and understands the company policies and procedures and the refund policy; b) Any provisions in part or in whole in this document found invalid will not invalidate any other provision; c) As the buyer, Client understands that he/she may cancel this agreement any time within the next three (3) business days following the date on which Client agreed to this agreement.
