Links and Search Results

The Site may automatically produce search results that reference or link to third-party sites throughout the World Wide Web. UpNext has no control over these sites or the content within them. UpNext cannot guarantee, represent, or warrant that the content contained in these sites is accurate, legal, and/or inoffensive. UpNext does not endorse the content of any third-party site, nor do we warrant that it will not contain viruses or otherwise impact your computer. By using the Site to search for or link to another site, you agree and understand that you may not make any claim against UpNext for any damages or losses, whatsoever, resulting from your use of the Site to obtain search results or to link to another site. If you have a problem with a link from the Site, please notify UpNext at legal@UpNext.com, and UpNext will investigate your claim and take any actions UpNext deems appropriate at our sole discretion.

Business listings located on UpNext are selected for display in search results based primarily on their content in relation to the user-provided search terms. Consequently, both customer and non-customer listings will be included in a search results list, and UpNext will not discriminate based on whether a business is a customer with regard to placement or inclusion in the business listings. UpNext customers do not pay to be included in certain search result listings or to retain a specific ranking. However, due to the fact that UpNext customers typically provide more content relative to their non-customer counterparts (e.g., in the form of offers, business biographies, etc.), it is possible that UpNext customers will be displayed at a higher ranking in a search results page.

UpNext customer listings may be rotated within the search results due to a number of factors, none of which are determined by paid inclusion or paid placement. Thus, such variable placement of UpNext customers is not intended to displace non-customer search results placement or inclusion. Indeed, non-customers with a good deal of quality content could appear higher on search result returns than UpNext customers.

Offline Conduct

Although UpNext cannot monitor the conduct of its users off the Site, it is a violation of these rules to use any information obtained from this Site in order to harass, abuse, or harm another person, or in order to contact, advertise to, solicit, or sell to any user without his/her prior explicit consent.

Unauthorized Use of the Site

Illegal and/or unauthorized uses of the Site, including, but not limited to, unauthorized framing of or linking to the Site or unauthorized use of any robot, spider, or other automated device on the Site, will be investigated and subject to appropriate legal action, including, without limitation, civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.
