When a user clicks on a Lead Generation Advertisement, that user will be directed to call or fill out a contact form (the “Form”), which will be created and hosted by or for Sayles Industries, that prompts the user to provide information that may include the user’s first name, last name, email address and telephone number. The information that the user provides is the “Lead,” and any information that personally identifies any individual user is “PII”. Sayles Industries will transmit the Leads directly to “the Client” on the IO.

Content for the Lead Generation Advertisements and the Form, which content may include trademarks, service marks, logos and other distinctive brand features of “the Client” (the “Ad Content”) will be provided to Sayles Industries by or on behalf of “the Client”. All Ad Content is subject to Sayles Industries’ approval and must comply with Sayles Industries’ then current specifications and advertising policies, including the lead-time prior to display of the Lead Generation Advertisement. Sayles Industries may reject Ad Content and/or stop displaying any Lead Generation Advertisement at any time, for any or no reason (including, but not limited to, a belief that the display of Ad Content may subject Sayles Industries to liability).
