Terms & Conditions
These terms and conditions constitute a legally binding agreement between your company or organization (the Business) and ShopAlaska.com, Inc.
By subscribing to a ShopAlaska.com paid plan, you acknowledge that you have read our terms and conditions and agree to them. You also indicate that you are authorized to act as a representative of the Business.
1. Organization Location
As ShopAlaska.com is a location-specific directory, it reserves the right to refuse to include organizations not physically located (service areas do not count) in your community area.
If the Business does not have a physical presence in this area and proceeds with listing its organization on ShopAlaska.com, the Business will have three options:
1. Remain listed on ShopAlaska.com and have their listing restricted to the ‘Out of Area’ directory category. This means the Business listing will not be allowed under regular directory categories and will be relegated to being listed in one general ‘Out of Area’ category and its subcategories.
2. Transfer the Business listing to another ShopAlaska.com directory serving the community in which the organization is physically located, should such a directory exist. Extra charges may apply.
3. Remove the Business listing from ShopAlasak.com altogether.
3. Transfer of Membership
Should the business sell or transfer ownership of the business’ organization, the Business has the right to transfer ownership of the Business’ membership, including the Business’ enhanced listing, content, and any upgrades purchased, to another owner of the Business’ organization.
The business also has the right to change the business listing information to reflect that of another organization, which is completely unrelated to the business organization, provided the business is the owner of both organizations and the new organization is physically located in the Your Community area. For example, if the Business’ original company goes out of business, it has the right to use its membership for the duration of its term to promote another organization, should the Business own that organization.
ShopAlaska.com reserves the right to deny all other transfers.
