2.1. Scope of Work

The specific details of the Services to be provided (e.g., number of social media posts, specific keywords for SEO, website pages to be designed) will be outlined in a separate Service Agreement, Statement of Work (SOW), or Invoice provided to the Client. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a specific Service Agreement, the specific Service Agreement shall prevail.

2.2. Client Obligations

To ensure the successful delivery of Services, the Client agrees to:

  • Provide necessary access to accounts (e.g., Facebook Business Manager, Google Analytics, Website Hosting) in a timely manner.
  • Supply all necessary text, images, and brand assets required for content creation.
  • Review and approve deliverables within three (3) business days. Failure to provide feedback within this timeframe will be deemed as automatic approval.

2.3. Change Orders

Any request for work outside the scope defined in the initial Agreement (e.g., extra website pages, additional video edits) will be considered a “Change Order.” The Agency reserves the right to charge additional fees for Change Orders at our standard hourly rates or a fixed project fee, which must be agreed upon in writing before work proceeds.

2.4. Timelines

While the Agency strives to meet all deadlines, timelines provided are estimates. The Agency shall not be liable for delays caused by the Client’s failure to provide assets, third-party platform outages (e.g., Facebook server crash), or other factors outside our reasonable control.

3. PAYMENT TERMS

3.1. Pricing and Invoicing

  • Retainers: Monthly marketing packages are billed in advance. Invoices are generated on the 1st of the month and are due upon receipt or within 5 days.
  • Projects (Websites): Typically require a 50% non-refundable deposit to commence work, with the remaining 50% due upon completion or prior to the site going live.
  • Ad Spend: The Client acknowledges that Media/Ad Spend (money paid to Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, etc.) is separate from the Agency’s management fee. Ad Spend is paid directly by the Client to the ad platform.

3.2. Taxes (GST)

  • If an invoice remains unpaid for more than seven (7) days past the due date, the Agency reserves the right to suspend all Services (including pausing ad campaigns and taking websites offline) until full payment is received.
