Terms
Terms of service
Written to be read rather than skimmed past. The commercial terms in the same plain language as everything else on this site.
The short version
You pay a monthly fee for work. You pay the ad platforms separately, at cost. You own your accounts, your logins, and everything we build for you. We do not guarantee rankings, bookings, or revenue, because nobody honestly can.
What these terms cover
These terms apply to the marketing services described on this site and agreed with you in writing before work begins. Where a written scope or proposal differs from this page, the written scope wins.
Fees, and the second bill
Our monthly fee covers labour: strategy, build, and operation. Advertising spend is separate and is paid by you, directly to the platform, at cost. We do not take a percentage of media spend, and we do not mark it up. If a platform bill changes, that is between you and the platform.
Scope and change requests
Each plan carries a defined scope and a monthly capacity for work. Requests that fall outside it are quoted before they are started, and nothing is invoiced without your agreement. Capacity that is unused in a month does not roll over unless the written scope says so.
Term and cancellation
Plans run month to month unless the written scope says otherwise. Either party may end a plan with written notice before the next billing date. Work already delivered or in progress for the current period remains payable. On ending, we hand over access and assets rather than holding them.
What we do not guarantee
We do not guarantee search rankings, booking volumes, or revenue. Search results depend on competitors, platform changes, seasonality, and your own pricing and availability, none of which we control. We report what changed and we say plainly when something did not work.
We do not buy reviews, and we do not present purchased reviews as organic ones. We do not use tactics intended to deceive a platform or a client.
Ownership and access
Your domain, hosting, Google Business Profile, advertising accounts, analytics, and the content we produce for you belong to you. We work inside accounts you own and you keep administrator access throughout. If we build a site for you, the design and code are yours once paid for, excluding third-party components under their own licences.
Your responsibilities
We need timely answers, accurate information about your shop, and access to the accounts involved. Work that depends on your approval does not proceed until we have it. You are responsible for the accuracy of claims you ask us to publish about your business.
Confidentiality
Your data, numbers, and internal detail stay private. We publish client results only with permission, and we would rather describe the work than the client.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from the services is limited to the fees paid in the three months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits or lost bookings.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
Changes to these terms
We may update this page. The version in force is the one published here when work is agreed, and we will tell you directly if a change affects an active plan.
