Terms of Service
1. Agreement to Terms
By engaging Lewis and Scott Consulting LLC ("Company," "we," "us") for digital marketing services ("Services"), you ("Client") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the Company.
2. Provision of Services
The scope of Services, including specific deliverables, timelines, and strategies, will be outlined in a separate Statement of Work (SOW) or service agreement. The Company agrees to perform the Services with professional skill and care. The Client agrees to provide the necessary access to accounts, data, and materials required for the Company to perform the Services.
3. Timelines and Delays
The Company will make every reasonable effort to meet the project timelines agreed upon in the SOW. However, timelines are estimates and may be subject to delays caused by the Client's failure to provide timely feedback, content, or necessary access. The Company is not liable for delays resulting from such Client-side dependencies.
4. Payment Terms
Payment terms, including service fees, billing cycles, and payment methods, will be specified in the SOW or invoice. Services typically require an upfront payment or retainer. All payments are due upon receipt of the invoice unless otherwise specified. Failure to make timely payments may result in a suspension or termination of Services.
5. Intellectual Property
Upon full payment for the Services, the Client shall own the final deliverables created by the Company specifically for the Client (e.g., ad copy, website content, custom reports). The Company retains ownership of all its pre-existing intellectual property, including its methodologies, tools, software, and proprietary strategies used in the provision of Services.
6. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to treat all non-public information received from the other party as confidential. This includes business strategies, client lists, campaign data, and performance metrics. This obligation of confidentiality shall survive the termination of the service agreement.
7. Limitation of Liability
While the Company strives to achieve the best possible results, we do not guarantee specific outcomes, such as a number one ranking in search engines, a specific number of leads, or a certain return on investment. The digital marketing landscape is volatile and subject to factors beyond our control. In no event shall Lewis and Scott Consulting LLC be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with our Services.
8. Termination
Either party may terminate the service agreement with a written notice period as defined in the SOW. Upon termination, the Client is responsible for paying for all Services rendered up to the effective date of termination. The Company will cooperate in the orderly transition of accounts and data back to the Client.
9. Governing Law
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which Lewis and Scott Consulting LLC is registered, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
