The IME software ancillary services, provided through IME’s Site, are provided to both the referral contractor and the customer and include payment management assistance and installation project scheduling and monitoring. The term “Services” shall also refer to the contractor referral and ancillary project management assistance provided to IME’s referral contractors and its retail partners’ and manufacturers’ customers through the Site.
The Site may contain materials and other items relating to IME and its services including: data, files, images, scripts, designs, graphics, instructions, illustrations, photographs, sounds, pictures, videos, advertising copy, layout, databases, articles, posts, text, URLs, software, technology, interactive features, and the “look and feel” of the Site (collectively “Content”).
