Terms of Service

1. Services

We provide digital marketing, automation, AI agent development, website design, consulting, and related services as outlined in individual proposals, invoices, or statements of work ("SOW"). The specific scope, deliverables, and timeline for each engagement will be defined in the applicable SOW or invoice.

1.1 Scope Changes

Requests outside the original SOW will be quoted separately and require written approval before work begins. Additional work will be billed at our standard hourly rate of $250/hour unless otherwise agreed in writing.

1.2 Revisions

Unless otherwise specified, projects include up to 2 rounds of revisions. Additional revisions will be billed at $250/hour.

2. Payment Terms

2.1 Fees

All fees are as stated in the applicable invoice or SOW. Unless otherwise specified, fees are quoted in U.S. dollars.

2.2 Payment Schedule

• Retainer services: Billed monthly in advance, due upon receipt.
• DIY/Training packages: Full payment due before sessions are scheduled.

2.3 Late Payment

Invoices unpaid after 15 days will incur a late fee of 1.5% per month (18% annually) on the outstanding balance. We reserve the right to pause or terminate services for accounts more than 30 days past due.

3. Refund Policy

3.1 Cancellation Before Work Begins

If you cancel before any work has commenced, you are entitled to a full refund of any amounts paid, minus an administrative fee of 10% or $100, whichever is greater.

3.2 Cancellation After Work Begins

• Less than 25% complete: 50% refund of total project fee.
• 25% to 50% complete: 25% refund of total project fee.
• More than 50% complete: No refund. Full project fee is due.

3.3 Determination of Completion

Project completion percentage is determined solely by the Company based on deliverables completed, hours expended, and resources allocated. We will provide documentation of work completed upon request. Such documentation is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute agreement on completion percentage.

3.4 Retainer Services

Retainer fees are non-refundable once a billing period has begun. No refunds will be issued for the current billing period. You may cancel future billing periods with 14 days written notice before the next billing cycle; cancellation applies to future periods only.

3.5 DIY/Training Packages

Training packages are non-refundable once the first session has been scheduled. Rescheduling is permitted with 48 hours notice.

3.6 No Refunds For

• Dissatisfaction with results, outcomes, or performance metrics
• Change of business direction or priorities
• Third-party platform changes, outages, or policy updates
• Failure to provide required materials, access, or feedback in a timely manner

3.7 Small Projects (Under $500)

For any project, service, or package with a total fee of less than $500, the following applies in place of Sections 3.1 and 3.2:

• Before draft delivery: You may cancel for a refund of amounts paid, less the administrative fee described in Section 3.1.
• After draft delivery: Once we have delivered initial draft work, the fee is fully earned and non-refundable, except as provided below. Delivery of a draft reflects the substantial setup, design, and production effort completed before a draft can be produced.
• Completion guarantee: If, after draft delivery, we fail to deliver the completed final work within 14 days after the agreed-upon delivery date, you may request a refund of the fees paid—unless the delay is caused by material changes to the agreed scope, additional findings or requirements that arise during the work, or your failure to meet the responsibilities in Section 4 (including timely feedback, access, or materials).

This Section does not limit any refund right that cannot be waived under applicable law.

4. Client Responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide timely access to accounts, platforms, and materials necessary for project completion
• Respond to requests for feedback or approval within 5 business days
• Ensure all materials provided are owned by you or properly licensed
• Designate a single point of contact for project communications

Delays caused by failure to meet these responsibilities may result in project timeline extensions and do not entitle you to a refund.

5. Deliverables and Acceptance

5.1 Delivery

We will deliver completed work as specified in the SOW or via agreed-upon communication channels.

5.2 Acceptance

Deliverables are considered accepted if no written objection with specific deficiencies is received within 7 business days of delivery. General dissatisfaction or change of direction does not constitute a valid objection.

5.3 Rejection

If you reject a deliverable, you must provide specific, actionable feedback. We will address legitimate deficiencies within the original scope. Rejections based on out-of-scope requests will be treated as change orders under Section 1.1.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Client Materials

You retain ownership of all materials you provide to us.

6.2 Deliverables

Upon receipt of full payment, you own the final deliverables created specifically for your project. We retain ownership of all underlying tools, templates, processes, frameworks, and methodologies used to create the deliverables.
