  • What you’re getting. NicaSeeker provides a hosted, custom-branded web presence designed to showcase your business and may include online bookings, reservations, online orders, payment gateways, and direct customer communication features via third-party tools.

  • Where it’s hosted. Branded Websites are published either as a single branded page (e.g., https://nicaseeker.com/your-business-name/) or https://your-business-name.nicaseeker.com/).

  • Content ownership. All content you submit (text, images, links, files, media) must be your own or used with permission. You retain ownership of your trademarks, logos, and supplied content.

  • Design consistency. NicaSeeker may edit, format, or adjust layout and styling for consistency with site design.

(Your custom agreement may provide additional details; if there is a conflict, the custom agreement controls.)

  • You submit false, misleading, offensive, illegal, or infringing content; violate these Terms or applicable laws; or otherwise harm the reputation/operation of the NicaSeeker platform.

NicaSeeker will make reasonable efforts to provide notice and an opportunity to resolve issues prior to removal where practicable.

9. Changes to the Branded Website Plan

Rivas Run facilitates the purchase and delivery of groceries and goods from Rivas and surrounding areas to customers located in San Juan del Sur, Escamequita, and nearby regions. We act as your agent in purchasing items based on your submitted order form.

b) Order Submissions

All orders must be submitted via the Rivas Run form by the deadline communicated each week or listed on the website. NicaSeeker is not responsible for missed submissions, incomplete information, or unavailable items at time of purchase.

c) Price Estimates & Payments

Customers must submit an estimated total cost for their requested items. This estimate will be used to calculate the total payment due upon form submission. The following applies:

  • A service fee of $10 or 10% of the total estimated cost (whichever is greater) is applied automatically.

  • A delivery fee of $5 is added for home deliveries within San Juan del Sur or Escamequita.

  • The total amount due must be paid in full before we fulfill your order.

After purchase, if your final total is less than the amount paid, you will receive a refund or credit.  If your order exceeds the amount paid, the balance must be settled at or before collection.  NicaSeeker reserves the right to withhold delivery or collection until payment is complete.
