Once a post is uploaded on the Verlocal Ambassador Facebook Group, you are given 36 hours to engage on the post. Failure to comply will result in immediate termination of Verlocal Ambassador privileges.
Your Verlocal Ambassador privileges will be renewed at a quarterly basis and at the discretion of InstQuest Inc.
In the event that you breach the confidence of the contract or fail to deliver the content and meet the responsibility of engaging in Verlocal social media requirement, InstQuest Inc. will have the right to terminate your Verlocal Ambassadors privileged immediately.
You shall cooperate fully with us and any third parties appointed by us as necessary to deliver the Content in accordance with this Contract.
You shall notify us prior to delivery, if any Content contains any content in which any third party claims or might claim any intellectual property right (“Third Party Content”). If so, you shall be responsible for obtaining all necessary rights and permissions, including intellectual property rights or waivers thereof, and contractual documentation in connection with its use. If possible, you shall assign to us all intellectual property rights in the Third Party Content in accordance with clause 3.1 below, or if not possible, you shall ensure that the intellectual property rights in such Third Party Content are licensed to us on an exclusive, perpetual and royalty-free basis for our full use and exploitation.
You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of any event or circumstance that has caused or may cause a delay in the completion or delivery of the Content to us.
You shall be solely responsible for promptly remedying, at your own expense and to our satisfaction, any non-conforming Content.
Our rights under this Contract are in addition to any applicable statutory terms implied in our favour by the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 and any other similar statute.
If You fail to deliver the Content as required by us, we may, without prejudice to any of our other rights or remedies under this Contract or law:
(a) terminate this Contract in whole or in part;
(b) refuse to accept any subsequent delivery of the Content;

(d) hold You responsible for any loss and/or additional costs incurred as a result of such failure.
The provisions of this clause 1, clause 3 and clause 4 shall be without prejudice to any acceptance or payment by us and shall extend to any substituted or remedial services that you provide.
We shall have no obligation or responsibility, to review the Content (including any Third Party Content) to determine whether it could result in any liability to any third party and if we reasonably believe in our sole discretion that it may, then we may remove it from publication and withhold payment of the Fee from you in full or in part. We will inform you in good time whenever we take this action.
In the event we are not satisfied that the Content delivered to us by you complies with this Contract (including without limitation the Content Description and relevant Brief) we will notify you and, subject always to compliance with the relevant Delivery Date, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to amend and resubmit the Content.
