2. SERVICES DESCRIPTION
2.1 Directory Listings
Dependable Brokers provides directory listing services that include placement of business information in our proprietary directory system.

A basic directory listing provides only a listing placement within our directory. Basic directory listings do not include optimization services, search engine placement guarantees, or placement on any other search platforms.

All basic directory listings renew every four (4) months. This renewal period applies to all contracts, including existing annual or six-month agreements, which will transition to the four-month renewal cycle effective January 1, 2026.
3.3 Payment Due
Payment is due in advance of each renewal period. Failure to pay by the renewal date will result in service suspension.

4.1 Company Ownership
Dependable Brokers owns all content within directory listings, including but not limited to formatting, placement, and presentation of information.

If your directory listing payment lapses or your account becomes delinquent, you forfeit all rights to your directory placement, which reverts to Company ownership.

5.1 No Search Engine Guarantees
Company provides NO guarantees regarding optimization results or placement on any search engine, including but not limited to Google, Bing, Yahoo, or other search platforms.

Our business is managed by our group. We reserve the right to alter, modify, or amend contracts for any purpose, at any time, with or without notice.
