Businesses using the Local Siren platform agree to adhere to the Terms of Service of all major review sites. This includes but not limited to Google, Facebook, Yelp, and other review sites.
Review gating: Businesses using Local Siren cannot implement any form of review gating. Review gating is a process where companies send a message to customers asking if their experience was positive or negative. Those who had a positive experience are directed to leave an online review. Those who had a negative experience are typically sent to a form to leave comments that are not made public.
When soliciting reviews using the Local Siren platform, businesses must provide all recipients the same options to provide feedback, regardless of their sentiment. This applies to review requests sent via standard review templates, custom email templates, and surveys.
Sites prohibiting solicitation of reviews: Businesses using Local Siren will fully comply with sites such as Yelp that prohibit review solicitation, and will not misuse the Local Siren platform to bypass review sites’ policies.
Failure to comply with 3rd Party Review site policies: If a business attempts to circumvent the Terms of Service of 3rd party review sites, Local Siren will notify the business and allow them 30 days to take corrective action. Should the business fail to comply within the 30-day notice period, their account will be suspended from Local Siren.

10. Fair Use.
Local Siren’s priority to its customers is to keep the Services available and running at optimal speed, which requires each customer to use the Services fairly and reasonably so as to not affect the access or use by other customers. The Services include broad access to a variety of resources such as bandwidth, API requests, and storage which are not unlimited (unless expressly stated as such in a Customer Agreement, Order Form or other agreement) or the overuse of which would affect the stability of the Local Siren platform, including but not limited to the Services, which is why we have this fair use clause (“Fair Use Policy” or “FUP”). Fair use will be considered the processing of 3 times the average number of requests or processed transactions per Location (as that term is defined in a Customer Agreement, Order Form or other written agreement) for other Local Siren customers in the same or similar industry. If Local Siren determines your use of the Services is in violation of its Fair Use Policy, in its sole reasonable discretion, it may take unilateral action regarding your use of the Services including, but not limited to, limiting the frequency of access to the Services or limiting the number of processed requests through the Services in order to bring usage in line with this FUP. Local Siren also reserves the right to invoice you for use of the Services in violation of the FUP.
