FIVESTARCLICKS LLC (also referred to as “FIVESTARCLICKS,” “Company,” “we,” or “us”): The provider of the review request and reputation solicitation services described in this agreement. Client (also referred to as “you” or “Customer”): The business, organization, or individual that has contracted with FIVESTARCLICKS to use the Services to request reviews from its own customers. The Client is typically a business seeking to improve or gather feedback on its services or products via customer reviews. End Customer (or “Customer of Client”): An individual or entity who is a customer, patron, or user of the Client’s products or services, and whose contact information is provided to FIVESTARCLICKS for the purpose of sending review requests. These are the end recipients of SMS, email, or other communications requesting a review on behalf of the Client. Services: The review request services and related features provided by FIVESTARCLICKS LLC under these Terms. This includes the automated sending of review solicitation communications (such as SMS/text messages and emails) to End Customers on the Client’s behalf, integrations with third-party platforms (e.g. Google Business Profile, social media, CRM systems), and any software, websites, or applications through which the service is delivered. Google Business Profile: The Google service for managing online business listings and reviews (previously known as Google My Business). Integration with Google Business Profile in the context of these Terms refers to connecting the Client’s Google listing to the Services so that End Customers can be directed to leave Google reviews for the Client. Default Messaging Preferences: The predefined or Client-selected settings within the Services that determine the content and timing (cadence) of review request messages. This may include standard message templates/scripts provided by FIVESTARCLICKS and schedule rules (e.g. sending a follow-up message after a certain number of days) that are applied when contacting End Customers, unless the Client customizes these settings. CRM (Customer Relationship Management) System: A third-party software system used by the Client to manage customer information, which may be integrated with the Services. Integration with a CRM allows automatic retrieval or syncing of End Customer contact details and other relevant data to facilitate sending review requests. Applicable Laws: All laws, statutes, regulations, and rules applicable to the Client, FIVESTARCLICKS, and the handling of End Customer data and communications under these Terms. This includes, without limitation, data protection and privacy laws and regulations (such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation “GDPR”, the California Consumer Privacy Act “CCPA”, Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation “CASL”), and laws relating to electronic communications and marketing (such as the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and Telephone Consumer Protection Act “TCPA”, and similar state, provincial, or federal laws).
Review Request Communications
: FIVESTARCLICKS LLC will, on the Client’s behalf, send out review request communications to the Client’s End Customers. These communications may be in the form of SMS/text messages, emails, or other electronic messages, and will typically invite or remind End Customers to leave a review (for example, a Google review) about their experience with the Client’s business. The messages are sent in the name of or referencing the Client, making clear to the End Customer that the request is coming from the Client (with FIVESTARCLICKS acting in the background as a service provider).
Integrations for Automation
: As part of the Services, FIVESTARCLICKS may integrate with various third-party platforms and accounts to streamline and automate the review request process. This includes integration with the Client’s Google Business Profile (to generate direct links for Google reviews), social media or review site accounts (to solicit reviews or post review content on those platforms if applicable), and the Client’s CRM or other customer databases. Through these integrations, the Service can automatically pull necessary customer contact information and trigger messages (for example, after a sale or service is completed, as recorded in the CRM) without manual intervention by the Client. The Client authorizes FIVESTARCLICKS to connect to and use such integrated systems solely for the purpose of providing the Services.
Default Settings and Customization
: The Client will have the ability to configure certain default messaging preferences within the Service. By default (and in the interest of efficiency), FIVESTARCLICKS provides pre-approved message scripts/templates and a recommended messaging cadence (e.g. an initial review request followed by one or more reminder messages after set time intervals). These default settings will be used to send review requests to End Customers unless the Client chooses to modify or customize them. The Client can customize the content of the messages, the number of follow-ups, the timing of messages, and other preferences through the Service’s interface. If no customization is made, the Client agrees that the standard scripts and schedule provided by FIVESTARCLICKS are deemed approved by the Client for use.
Scope Limitations
: The Services are intended solely for the purpose of requesting customer reviews and related customer feedback. FIVESTARCLICKS’s role is limited to facilitating the sending of these communications and providing the Client with tools to manage the process. The Service does extend to managing responses to reviews, moderating content on third-party review sites, but does not guarantee that reviews will be positive or removed if negative. FIVESTARCLICKS is not a reputation management or review moderation service under these Terms; it focuses strictly on review solicitation and associated automation.
The Client agrees to the following responsibilities and obligations to ensure that the use of the Services is lawful and effective:
Obtain and Maintain Consent
: You must have explicit permission from each End Customer before FIVESTARCLICKS sends them any SMS or email. Prior to uploading or providing any End Customer’s contact information to the Service, you will have obtained all necessary and legally-required consents to contact that End Customer via the intended communication method (text message, email, etc.). This means, for example, compliance with opt-in requirements under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) for U.S. text messages, and compliance with email consent requirements under laws like the CAN-SPAM Act. You should only send review requests to individuals who have agreed to receive such communications from you. If an End Customer revokes consent or opts out of receiving communications, you are responsible for updating your settings or notifying FIVESTARCLICKS to cease messages to that End Customer.
Compliance with Data Privacy Laws
: You are responsible for adhering to all applicable data protection and privacy laws in relation to the End Customer data and communications. This includes, without limitation, ensuring compliance with regulations such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (if you handle data of EU residents, even if the service is not yet actively offered in the EU), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for personal data of California residents, Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) for messages sent to Canadian recipients, and any other international, federal, or state laws regarding personal data, privacy, or electronic communications. You, as the data controller/business, must provide any required privacy notices to your End Customers and, where required, obtain explicit consent for the collection and use of their data (including sharing it with service providers like FIVESTARCLICKS for the purpose of sending review requests). If you expand or use the Services in new jurisdictions, you must ensure you meet all local requirements (such as consent and opt-out rules) in those areas.
Accurate Data and Lawful Use
: You are responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of the End Customer contact information and any other data you provide to FIVESTARCLICKS. This means you will only upload or provide data that has been collected lawfully and is up-to-date. You must not use the Services to send messages to any phone number or email address that is on any do-not-contact list or to individuals who have not consented, as doing so could violate spam or privacy laws. Furthermore, you agree not to use the Services for any unlawful, misleading, or abusive purposes – for example, you will not include any fraudulent content in review requests, and you will not attempt to use the Service to send non-review-related marketing without proper consent.
Maintain Integrations and Access
: If you choose to integrate third-party accounts or systems with the FIVESTARCLICKS Services (such as linking a Google Business Profile, Facebook page, or connecting a CRM via API), you are responsible for maintaining the continuity and validity of those integrations. This includes keeping login credentials, API keys, and tokens up to date, and promptly reconnecting or updating them if they change or expire. For instance, if your Google or social media password changes or if your CRM API token expires, you must update the integration settings so that the Services can continue to function. FIVESTARCLICKS is not responsible for any failure to send review requests or any other service downtime to the extent caused by disconnected or broken integrations due to the Client’s action or inaction.
Regulatory Compliance
: It is the Client’s duty to ensure that its use of the Services (including the content and timing of messages sent to End Customers) complies with all Applicable Laws (defined above). While FIVESTARCLICKS provides the tools and default templates, the Client must ensure that the actual use of those tools meets legal standards (for example, including any required disclaimers or opt-out instructions in messages if mandated by law). The Client is strongly encouraged to consult its own legal counsel to ensure that its use of the Services is compliant with laws relevant to its specific industry and jurisdiction. The Client will be solely responsible for any legal consequences arising from improper use of the Services or failure to comply with applicable laws, and agrees to indemnify FIVESTARCLICKS for any loss or damage resulting from such misuse or non-compliance (as detailed in the Indemnification section of these Terms).
Authorization to Send on Client’s Behalf
: By using the Services, the Client acknowledges and authorizes FIVESTARCLICKS LLC to send SMS messages, emails, and other electronic communications to End Customers on the Client’s behalf. These messages will appear to come from the Client’s business (using the sender identity information provided in the Service setup, such as the business name or a designated phone number/email address). The content of these messages is intended to request a review or feedback and may include the Client’s name, contact info, and a link or instructions for leaving a review (e.g., a direct link to the Client’s Google review page).
Use of Default Scripts and Cadence
: By default, FIVESTARCLICKS utilizes pre-approved message templates and a standard schedule for follow-ups, as part of the Services. The Client agrees that, unless they take action to customize the messaging, the Company may use these default scripts and timing on the Client’s behalf. These default messages have been crafted to be professional and effective for general use (for example, a polite review request shortly after a customer interaction, and perhaps a gentle reminder a few days later if no review has been received). The Client has had the opportunity to review these templates during onboarding or in their account settings. By not modifying them, the Client is effectively giving blanket approval for their use.
Client Customization and Control
: The Service provides tools for the Client to edit or override the default message content and schedule. The Client can customize the text of review requests, add their branding or personal tone, change how many follow-up reminders are sent, adjust the intervals between messages, and set overall preferences (for instance, choosing to send only emails and not SMS, or vice versa). If the Client chooses to make such customizations, FIVESTARCLICKS will send the messages according to the Client’s specified content and timing. The Client bears full responsibility for any custom message content or schedule they create, and should ensure that any modifications still comply with applicable laws and are appropriate for their customer base.
Content Responsibility and Disclaimer
: The Client understands that FIVESTARCLICKS is a neutral transmitter of content; the platform facilitates sending the Client’s message to End Customers. Whether using default scripts or customized text, the Client is responsible for the content of all review request messages sent through the Service. FIVESTARCLICKS does not independently verify or censor the message content (aside from perhaps basic checks for prohibited content), and therefore is not liable for any issues arising from the messages. This includes, but is not limited to, any claims that the messages were misleading, unsolicited, harassing, or otherwise in violation of a recipient’s rights or any law. The Client should carefully review all default and customized messages to ensure they are accurate, appropriate, and lawful.
Frequency and Cadence of Messages
: By default, the Service’s messaging cadence (number of messages and timing) has been configured in a way that aims to be effective yet not overly intrusive (for example, one initial request and one reminder). The Client can configure this as per their needs. The Client acknowledges that they are responsible for the frequency of messages sent to their End Customers. If an End Customer perceives the frequency of reminders as excessive or spammy, or if it violates any communication law (such as limits on SMS under certain regulations), the responsibility lies with the Client to adjust their settings. FIVESTARCLICKS will not be held liable for any complaint or issue arising from the chosen frequency of messages.
Opt-Out Handling
: FIVESTARCLICKS’s platform will make reasonable efforts to honor standard opt-out requests from End Customers. For example, if an End Customer replies “STOP” to an SMS, the system may automatically flag that number to prevent further texts, and similarly, unsubscribe links in emails will prevent further emails. However, ultimate compliance with opt-out requests is the Client’s responsibility. The Client should regularly monitor any notifications of opt-outs and ensure such contacts are not inadvertently re-uploaded or contacted through other means in violation of their request.
No Liability for Message Outcomes
: FIVESTARCLICKS does not guarantee that an End Customer will positively receive or act upon any message. The Company is not liable for any outcomes of the messages beyond sending them as instructed – for instance, if an End Customer reacts negatively to a review request or if sending a request inadvertently reminds a customer of a negative experience resulting in a bad review, the Client understands this risk is inherent in soliciting feedback. The Client agrees that it will not hold FIVESTARCLICKS responsible for any damage to its reputation or customer relations arising from the act of sending review requests.
Data Processing Role
: In providing the Services, FIVESTARCLICKS LLC acts as a data processor (or “service provider”) on behalf of the Client. The Client is the data controller (or “business” as termed under certain laws like CCPA), meaning the Client determines the purposes and means of processing the personal data of End Customers. All End Customer data provided by the Client to FIVESTARCLICKS remains under the Client’s ownership and control. FIVESTARCLICKS will process this data only as necessary to provide the Services and in accordance with the Client’s instructions and these Terms.
Purpose of Data Use
: The Client’s data (including End Customer contact information, such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, and any other information provided for the purpose of the Services) will be used solely for sending review requests and related communications and for operating and improving the Service. FIVESTARCLICKS will not use End Customer personal data for any other purpose (such as marketing other products to End Customers, or selling the data) without the Client’s explicit instruction and consent, and in compliance with applicable law. Aggregated or anonymized data (data that does not identify individuals) may be used by the Company for analytics or to improve the Services.
FIVESTARCLICKS does not guarantee specific outcomes from the use of the Services, including but not limited to the number, quality, or positivity of reviews received by the Client. The Services are designed to facilitate review requests, but the response of End Customers is beyond FIVESTARCLICKS’s control. The Client acknowledges that negative reviews or lack of response from End Customers are possible and that FIVESTARCLICKS is not responsible for such outcomes.
In addition to the termination rights outlined in Section 15, FIVESTARCLICKS may suspend or terminate the Services if the Client fails to comply with these Legal Terms, including but not limited to failure to obtain necessary consents, providing inaccurate or unlawful data, or using the Services for prohibited activities. Upon termination, the Client’s access to the Services will cease, and FIVESTARCLICKS will have no further obligation to send review requests or maintain integrations on behalf of the Client.
The indemnification obligations and liability limitations outlined in Sections 21 and 22 apply to all aspects of the Services, including the Client’s use of review request communications and integrations. The Client agrees to indemnify FIVESTARCLICKS for any claims arising from the Client’s failure to comply with Applicable Laws, misuse of the Services, or issues related to the content or frequency of messages sent to End Customers.
Any additional terms or conditions specific to the use of the Services, as may be provided in supplemental agreements or documentation, are incorporated into these Legal Terms by reference. The Client acknowledges that the Services are subject to technical limitations and that FIVESTARCLICKS is not responsible for issues arising from third-party platforms, networks, or systems integrated with the Services.
