This End User License Agreement (“Agreement”), applies to web search applications (each a “Search Application”) developed by or for LBA Group and / or it’s partners (together “LBA”, “we” or “us”) and downloaded, installed and/or executed on or via your computer on or after the “Revision Date” set forth at the end of this Agreement. Such Search Applications may include certain web search toolbars, browser or OS plug-ins, taskbars, desktop widgets, new tab/startpage products, search extensions and/or search settings extensions, and may be branded (or co-branded) with LBA, or third party brands, or bear other brands owned by or licensed to LBA.
Upon the installation or execution of a Search Application, one or more of the following features may be added/enabled in your Internet browser (which may include both your active browser and any other compatible Internet browser(s) resident on your computer). Features may vary between different browsers and different Search Applications or versions of Search Applications:
In this Agreement “Web Sites” shall refer to the web pages that your query resolves to on the www.easysearchnow.com domain or some other domain owned or controlled by us or some other LBA-operated search service through which we provide the service in connection with the Search Application. “Services” as used herein means the LBA search service and other services offered in or through a Search Application.
Search Application: The Search Application may install into your Internet browser or operating system and allows you to search the Internet with the Services, and may provide other features as further described herein or during the Search Application installation process. If you already have a Search Application on your computer, you may be precluded from adding a subsequent Search Application unless the functionalities and/or branding differ. In such cases, we may still make such changes to your settings as you have elected during the offer and install process for such Search Application. Further, in certain cases, the Search Application itself may only comprise settings changes; in other cases, a Search Application may be offered alongside (or before or after) a distinct Search Application. In such cases, each Search Application must be disabled on uninstalled separately.
Installer: Your installation of a Search Application may be facilitated by LBA’s installer technology which: (i) downloads the files necessary to install the software; and (ii) scans your computer for specific files and registry settings to ensure compatibility with your operating system and other software installed on your computer. Once the installer technology has been initiated, the installer technology may present you with additional offers from LBA partners in addition to the Search Application.
Updater: An updater component (“Updater”) may also automatically install alongside a Search Application in order to facilitate updates to the applicable Search Application. If such an Updater is installed, it will uninstall when the applicable Search Application is uninstalled.
Default Search, Address Bar Queries, DNS Errors: With your consent, your Internet browser default search feature will be set to the Service, and you will access such Service (i) by entering queries in your browser chrome search box; (ii) by entering queries in your browser address bar, and/or (iii) in response to misspelled, incorrectly formatted or unresolved DNS submissions in your browser address bar, in each case if and as applicable based on your browser(s) and the specific Search Application version.
Home Page, New Tab Page: During the Search Application download process, you may be given the option to download the LBA new tab product and/or you may be given the option to reset your Internet browsers’ default homepage (or similar page – e.g., a start page, start tab, etc.) to a Website or some other specified webpage, and/or reset your new tab page (in compatible browsers) to a LBA new tab product. If you elect this option, the specified webpage will become your default home page and/or the specified new tab product will appear each time you open a new tab in your Internet browser. The homepage and new tab products are further subject to the policies/terms of service linked to in the footer of such products themselves.
Related Search: The Search Application may include functionality that provides search suggestions and related search suggestions based on all of your web queries and/or the content or URL of the web pages you visit.
Top Sites: The Search Application may include functionality that provides you quick access to top sites across your browsers.
