ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF SERVICE
This document was last updated on February 9, 2024.
You must review and accept this Terms of Service Agreement (“Terms of Service”) before using our services. The Terms of Service set forth the standards of use of the Services provided by Longer Days Holdings, LLC (“LongerDays”) for Registered Clients and individuals who the client authorizes to use the Services on their behalf. By using LongerDays’ Services, you (“the Client” or “you”) agree to these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement, you should immediately cease all usage of our Services. We reserve the right, at any time, to modify, alter, or update the terms and conditions of this agreement without prior notice. Modifications shall become effective immediately upon being posted on https://longerdays.com/terms-conditions/. You will be notified of changes to the Terms of Service via the email account that you used to register with LongerDays. Your continued use of the Services after amendments are posted constitutes an acknowledgment and acceptance of the Agreement and its modifications. Except as provided in this paragraph, this Agreement may not be amended.
Restrictions
You must be eighteen (18) years or older to legally agree to the Terms of Service set forth herein. If you are under eighteen years old, you are not permitted to acquire any services from LongerDays.
Satisfaction Guarantee
If at any time the Client is dissatisfied with services LongerDays has provided, the Client can request a refund for unused time from the current month. The Client will not receive a refund for material charges or a refund for every month that the Client was billed for our service. In other words, if the Client signed up in January and became dissatisfied the following September, the Client would get a refund for the unused hours that were pre-purchased for September, not a refund for the entire 9-month period.
Description of Service
LongerDays is providing the Client with Virtual Business Services (the “Service”). The client must provide all documents, instructions, and equipment necessary for satisfactory completion of Service. The scope of Service may include, but is not limited to: remote administrative assistance, graphic design, email monitoring, web development, social media marketing, ghostwriting, data entry, internet research, task automation, business process outsourcing, scheduling, invoicing, bookkeeping, database management, travel planning, proofreading, copy editing, video editing, and customer support. The scope of the service may be limited or expanded by Client and LongerDays, as they mutually agree. We go to great lengths to make sure any information provided by our Service is accurate and useful, however, our role is to be an assistant to the client, not an expert consultant. We recommend seeking professional assurance that any information provided by our Service, and your interpretation of it, is appropriate to your particular situation.
Subscription Payment Method
Our Service is provided on a pay-in-advance, monthly subscription model. Client will be billed immediately upon signup, and the Service plan renews the first day of each month until Client cancels the Service. Your plan can be upgraded during the current billing cycle or downgraded effective on the next billing cycle.
To cancel services and cease future billing, complete the Service Cancellation Form located at: https://longerdays.com/service-cancellation
Failure of credit card payment upon renewal does not constitute cancellation. Service will be suspended due to non-payment, however Client remains responsible for subscription charges incurred.
Unused Time
It is the Client’s responsibility to assign enough work so LongerDays can productively use the hours included in the Client’s monthly subscription plan. We cannot issue refunds for unused time of past months because, regardless of whether the Client utilizes the Service or not, LongerDays is obligated to maintain the level of staff required to provide the Service should the Client decide to utilize it at any point during the month. Maintaining proper staffing levels is the reason we have monthly plans.
Material Charges
All material charges will be made known to the Client in advance. The Client will never receive a bill for material charges that the Client did not authorized in advance. The credit card used to pay for the Client’s monthly subscription plan will be charged within thirty days (30) of the date the Client approved the material charges.
Overuse of Services (Overages)
If you use all of the hours that are included in your monthly plan subscription, LongerDays will stop work and notify you before any additional services are provided. The Client must choose one of the following three options:
– Upgrade up to a larger monthly plan (prorated for the first month)
– Continue work at the current plan’s effective hourly rate
– Tell us to stop work until Client’s plan refreshes at the beginning of the month
If LongerDays uses more time than what is prepaid under the Client’s plan amount without Client’s authorization, Client will not be billed for those hours. If the client is notified of the excess time use and then approves continuation of work, Client will be billed for all hours used.
Task Turn Around Time
Due to the variety of tasks submitted to us, we cannot guarantee a standard turn around time. The turn around time for each task submitted to us depends on a number of factors, primarily the size and complexity of the task. We always try to complete tasks as quickly as possible, and our clients often experience turn around times of less than one (1) business day. However, the fastest turn around time you should expect under normal circumstances is one (1) business day for all non-scheduled tasks. Scheduled tasks (ongoing tasks) are to be completed by the scheduled date.
Agency Relationship
LongerDays is your agent. Anything we do on your behalf has the same effect as if you do it yourself. As your agent, with permission, we can provide information to others, make recommendations to others, make promises you have authorized to be made, send communications in your name, make purchases or render services, or anything else that you need done and that we can do. Our responsibility is to carry out your instructions and to work within the limits of the authority you grant us. You and you alone are responsible for the transactions entered into on your behalf, and this responsibility continues even if you stop being our Client.

THE SATISFACTION GUARANTEE CONTAINED WITHIN THE TERMS OF SERVICE LIMITS CLIENT TO A REFUND OF ONLY THE UNUSED PORTION OF PRE-PAID TIME AND DOES NOT CREATE A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES AND DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
