IV. Special Notes with regard to Products and Services Purchased
a) The purchase.
$ 99 One-time Reservation fee – paid at sign-up.
$ 499 One-time Customization Fee (there are more than 57 customization items in the book)
$1,997 100 Fully-customized TrustBooks @ $19.97 each
$2,595 Total
b) The payment process
$ 99 Reservation fee – paid at sign-up.
$1,248 This equals 50% of the Customization fee and 50% of the TrustBooks production and printing fee – paid prior to the Customization Conference.
$1,248 This equals the balance of the Customization fee and the TrustBooks fee – paid prior to print production.
Any additional TrustBook orders will not include the Reservation and/or the Customization fees. Those are one-time fees per area.
c) Term of the $99 Area Reservation.
The $99 Area Reservation is valid for 30 days. There’s a very good reason why the “Reservation” is only 30 days – it’s because we want you to be motivated to get your book completed ASAP. (Once we complete your book, your Exclusive Area is valid for one year from your date of purchase.)
Please understand – we do not offer refunds.
In other words, you have 30 days to:
- Return your completed questionnaire to us; and
- Complete our Customization Conference phone call; and
- Send us everything we need to complete your customization – your logo, pictures, and anything else we’ve discussed to finalize your customization.
If you have not completed the foregoing within 30 days of paying your $99 Reservation Fee, we may offer (via e-mail) a one-time-only 90-day extension for $299.
If you don’t respond to our 90-day extension offer, you forfeit your $99, and we may offer your area to other contractors in your area.
Remember – the Area Reservations are first-come, first-serve, and that’s because of the way we offer our books. We typically choose a city, and send an offer to HVAC contractors located in that city. Because of that, and in many instances, we have other contractors attempting to reserve the same area. If you are the first to pay the $99 Reservation Fee, YOU’RE LOCKED IN, but only for 30 days.
It’s in your best interest to complete all the steps necessary to maintain your exclusive area.
d) The Exclusive Area.We want you to have a big advantage against any other HVAC contractors in your area. It’s real simple. We have software that identifies every zip code in your area. So during our Customization Conference, we’ll do a desktop share with you and create a map that allows you to have right around 100,000 households in your area.
You choose your primary zip code, and then we’ll create your exclusive area based on that zip code. We have only one rule – the zip codes must be contiguous, meaning they must be adjoining or touching. In other words, you can’t cherry-pick various zip codes around your city that aren’t touching or immediately adjacent to each other.
Your Exclusive Area expires one year from the date you paid the $99 Reservation Fee. If you want to extend your area for an additional year, you may do so simply by ordering an additional 100 TrustBooks at the then-current price.
We’ll do our best to send you an e-mail to remind you to order 100 more books, if you haven’t already done so, HOWEVER – this is not a guarantee that we will. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to calendar the anniversary date of your purchase.
Transparency here: It’s not our intent to raise the price on the books. But it’s possible that our printing and production costs could increase, and we need the flexibility to increase our prices based on increased expenses to us. We think that’s being fair to you and fair to us.
e) Why we won’t give anyone the entire city of a major metropolitan area. There’s 2 reasons why. First, we believe in giving entrepreneurs a way to stand up against (what we call) the “behemoths” – the huge guys. And the TrustBooks are a great way to do that. The “behemoths” have the assets to buy a lot of media – TV, radio, print, etc., and it’s very hard to compete against that. The TrustBooks give us smaller business owners a way to dominate in an ethical manner. And remember – none of the behemoths are marketing “Trust.” You will be with your new TrustBooks.
The second reason is that for almost any small to mid-size HVAC contractor, it’s difficult to serve an area larger than 100,000 households. It’s a fair and reasonable geographic area, and if you’d like to have a larger area – let’s talk. We don’t charge for the area, but we’ll ask you to purchase a higher number of TrustBooks.
f) What about adding additional specialty pages into the book – duct cleaning, geothermal, mini-splits, etc.? We will custom-write them for you. We’ll give you an additional 2 pages on any of those subject areas for a one-time fee of $299 per subject.
g) Revisions to the book. You are experts in HVAC maintenance, service, and replacement. We are experts in creating Trust Books. We would not stand over your shoulder and question every service and repair decision. Likewise, we ask that you do not stand over our shoulder and question every font, color, headline, etc. in the Trust Books.
The TrustBooks are designed to build trust with your prospective buyers. They are created with a LOT of marketing, neuro-language and behavioral science weaved into them. Please give us the opportunity to serve you best and help you sell more by using your Trust Books to increase your sales and closing ratio.
We’ve had clients revise and revise and revise and revise… “Well, I reviewed it, but Tom hasn’t…” “Oops – we forgot – we want to add this…” “Oh – I found 3 more pictures I want you to put in the book…” “Here’s 30 changes I want you to make…”
We think you get the point… We really are patient, and we understand forgetting something. But there comes a point that we may ask for an additional $499 Customization Fee (don’t worry – we give advance warnings).
The way to avoid that is to have everyone involved on your team review the book, and then compile your requested changes. That way there’s no back and forth and back and forth and back and forth… This is all about us being fair with you and you being fair with us.
We try and be reasonable with revisions, but there’s a few things we won’t do: We won’t add so much more copy (words) that it forces a new page and/or requires the removal of pictures and/or graphics. That completely messes up the pagination of the book. We won’t change fonts or colors for headlines, questions, body copy, title pages, etc.
One more thing… Please don’t ask us to begin your customization prior to getting us your information, logos, pictures, etc. We wouldn’t ask you to come out to our home or office and do a partial installation today, and then wait until next week to do another partial installation. That’s just not how we’d treat you.
Now that we’ve ranted and raved, let’s answer the original question, “How many revisions can I have?” After 2 revisions, maybe 3, it’s likely that we’re going to ask you for an additional $499 customization fee.
h) How many pictures of mine do you need? Your logo, a picture of you, a picture of your building, and a picture of your truck. If you have a picture of all of your team together – great. It’s that easy!
Some people send us a few more – their child(ren) standing next to a furnance or compressor, maybe 1 or 2 pics of their techs working on a system, or perhaps a few pictures of their office staff. That’s it!
And then we had a client the other day who sent us 257 images – 747 megabytes, and told us “you decide.” Please don’t do that to us or yourself. We get the idea and appreciate your confidence, but we want you to decide.
i) Will we give you digital versions of the book (including posting pages on your website)?
No. Here’s why: It’s easy to copy digital stuff. That means that your competitor could digitally capture your book, revise it with their information, and before you know it, you no longer have the EXCLUSIVE ADVANTAGE.
There’s another reason why. Think about it… EVERYBODY has digital books. What’s the value of them? ZERO!
THERE IS SO MUCH POWER IN GIVING A PROSPECT YOUR PHYSICAL TRUSTBOOK! That is SUPER-IMPRESSIVE!! Remember – your competitors are giving them a cheap little brochure they print on their office printers. Why would we want to de-value the books by offering them digitally? And why would we give our competitors an opportunity to steal from us? Our policy is clear – NO, you may not post, deliver, give, provide or sell a PDF or otherwise-printed version of your TrustBook in any manner whatsoever. In the event that we discover any such versions of your TrustBook on your website or elsewhere, you are subject to a $10,000.00 per month of use confessed judgment and fine due upon demand. Govern yourself accordingly.
j) The “90-Day Rule.”. We work in a timely manner responding to all communications and phone calls, and in the event that you have not delivered all requested content (such as pictures and logo) and/or have not provided us with your funds, authorization and approval to “go to print” within 90 days of your Customization Conference, you hereby forfeit your exclusive area reservation and any and all funds paid to acquire your customized TrustBooks – period. 90-days is a fair and reasonable term, therefore – no reasons / no excuses. We also will not work with you in the future as it is our belief that if you leave us hanging “on the hook” for 90 days, you’ll do the same to your customers, and that signifies the exact type of client we choose not to affiliate and/or work with. We have no further obligation to deliver any additional notifications about this rule. 90 days after our Customization Conference, we will terminate communications with you and anyone else you’ve designated to work with us. Govern yourself accordingly.

n) Product and Service Listings. TrustBook strives for accuracy in all item descriptions, photographs, compatibility references, detailed specifications, pricing, links and any other product-related information contained herein or referenced on our website, print collateral, and any other forms of communication. Due to human error and other determinates we cannot guarantee that all item descriptions, photographs, compatibility references, detailed specifications, pricing, links and any other service and/or product-related information listed is entirely accurate, complete or current, nor can we assume responsibility for these errors. In the event a product and/or service listed on our website is labeled with an incorrect price due to some typographical, informational, technical or other error, TrustBook shall at its sole discretion have the right to refuse and/or cancel any order for said product and immediately amend, correct and/or remove the inaccurate information. Additionally, all hyperlinks to other websites from TrustBook are provided as resources to you looking for additional information and/or professional opinion. TrustBook does not assume responsibility for the claims and/or representations made on these or any other websites.
o) Product and Service Revisions. TrustBook is not responsible for changes or variations in product and/or service specifications and/or physical appearance, since in some cases TrustBook acts as a distributor for others. In the interest of our Clients, TrustBook puts forth its best efforts to ensure that all product and service information is up-to-date and factual. Unfortunately there are varying determinates which, although infrequent, could cause the information on our website to become outdated without our immediate knowledge. This includes but is not limited to new versions or revisions, color deviations, retail package alterations and other variations that may be considered inconsequential by the manufacturer. In some cases, TrustBook relies on the manufacturer of a product to communicate these differences. Presently we have no way of alerting you and other clients prior to purchase in the event the manufacturer fails to do so. Consequently, TrustBook will not be held responsible for product revision changes.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily make your Personal Information available to third parties — for example on message boards or web logs; through email; during webinars, classes, telephone conferences, or coaching calls; or in comment or chat areas — that information can be seen, collected, heard, and/or used by others besides us.

RETARGETING
For select pages on the TrustBook website, we may use retargeting technology to connect you with information relevant to your visit while you visit other sites. Third party sites like Facebook or Google use cookies to “remember” your browser and display ads most relevant to your visit on PCG’s site. THESE COOKIES DO NOT IN ANY WAY IDENTIFY YOU OR GIVE US ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER. Instead, these cookies are used to say, “This person visited this site, so show them ads related to that site.” In other words, we use retargeting via Facebook or Google AdWords to better serve you, display information and offers most relevant to your visit to TrustBook’s site, and display ads that are only relevant to you. If you have any questions about TrustBook’s retargeting policies, please do not hesitate to contact us at 813-574-4355 or via email here: HelpDesk@HVACTrustBook.
HOW WE PROTECT THE INFORMATION
We take commercially reasonable steps to protect the Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

In particular, e-mail sent to or from the Websites may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.
NO SPAM!
We hate unsolicited commercial e-mail as much as you do. Also known as Spam or junk e-mail, it is a disservice to the Internet community. We fully endorse and comply with the requirements of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act), and all other applicable unsolicited commercial e-mail laws. We do not trade or share your private information with others. If you subscribe to electronic newsletters or other communications from our website, you will always have an option to unsubscribe immediately. If you have additional questions, comments or concerns, please contact us and provide us with information relating to your concern.
