Terms of Service & Billing Policy
Clear, straightforward terms governing how we build, lease, and bill our local digital storefronts for US service contractors.
100% Tax Deductible Business Expense (IRS §162)
Domestic USD ACH & Card Auto-Pay
All territory leases are billed in US Dollars (USD) via standard US Domestic ACH bank transfer ($0 wire fees) or major corporate credit/debit cards. Itemized monthly receipts are issued automatically for your bookkeeper or CPA.
IRS Section 162 Advertising Write-Off
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 162 (IRC §162), ordinary and necessary business expenses for local advertising, digital storefront leasing, and call generation are 100% tax-deductible for US businesses.
1. $0 Upfront Build & Verification Before Leasing
LocalSeoLead builds, hosts, and optimizes dedicated local websites at our own capital expense. Contractors do not pay website setup fees, design retainers, or upfront deposits while a territory site is being built. Monthly lease billing only begins once you have reviewed the live website, tested the call-forwarding connection to your phone line, and activated your territory agreement.
2. Single-Partner Territory Exclusivity
While your monthly lease is active and in good standing, we assign the leased digital storefront and its dedicated local tracking phone number exclusively to your company for the designated trade and service area (ZIP code / municipality). We never sell or forward calls from your leased storefront to competing contractors.
3. Month-to-Month Term & 30-Day Cancellation Policy
All territory leases operate on a transparent month-to-month basis with no multi-year lock-in. Either party may cancel the lease at any time by providing 30 days' written notice via email or through the billing portal. Upon termination, call forwarding is disconnected at the close of the paid billing cycle and the territory is released back to our available inventory.
4. Billing Administration, Deel & Tax Documentation (W-8BEN / Compliance)
To provide US contractors with seamless domestic USD ACH and card checkout alongside automated compliance, contract execution and recurring invoicing are administered through Deel Inc. (San Francisco, CA) and integrated US payment rails:
- Domestic Payment Methods: Pay in USD via US Domestic ACH direct debit, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express with automatic monthly receipts.
- Pre-Verified Tax Compliance (IRS Form W-8BEN / W-8BEN-E on File): For cross-border software and digital asset operations, statutory IRS Form W-8BEN / W-8BEN-E documentation is pre-verified and maintained on file within the Deel compliance platform. US contractor clients have zero tax withholding obligations, zero 1099 filing requirements, and zero extra tax paperwork to complete.
- Accounting Records: Every monthly payment generates a downloadable USD invoice classified as B2B digital advertising and lead routing services for straightforward year-end accounting.
5. Intellectual Property & Asset Ownership
Just like leasing a commercial retail space on a busy main street, the underlying domain name, web software, and search engine infrastructure remain the property of LocalSeoLead Platform. During your active lease, you hold 100% exclusive rights to all inbound customer phone calls, dispatch form inquiries, and jobs generated by the storefront.
