Initial Term for Digital Marketing & Web Design Plans: 12 months from the date this Agreement is signed.
Initial Term for Dropship Program Plan: Month-to-month from the date this Agreement is signed.
Renewal for Digital Marketing & Web Design Plans: After the 12-month Initial Term ends, these services automatically continue on a month-to-month basis until the Client sends a written (email) notice to terminate.

No-Penalty Cancellation: The Client may cancel this Agreement (any plan) within 48 hours of signing, with no fees or penalties.

2.2 Payment Procedures and Terms

Monthly Payments: The Client agrees to pay the monthly fee for the selected service plan. All payments are due on the same calendar day each month (the “Renewal Date”), based on the date of the initial payment.
One-Time Setup & Onboarding Fee: A one-time setup and onboarding fee applies to both Digital Marketing and Dropship Program plans. This fee is charged separately at the start of the contract.
Automatic Payment Authorization: By signing this Agreement, the Client authorizes the Service Provider to automatically charge all applicable fees (monthly and one-time) to the payment method on file.
Taxes: All fees are subject to applicable local, state, or federal taxes.
Billing Information Responsibility: The Client must ensure their payment details are accurate and up to date.

2.3 Project Timeline and Client Responsibilities

Website Completion Timeline:
The website is expected to be completed within six (6) to eight (8) weeks from the official start date of the project.
Delays Due to Client Actions:
- If the Client requests changes, additions, or revisions after the project has started—or delays providing necessary materials, feedback, or approvals—this may extend the project timeline.
- The Client understands and agrees that such delays are their sole responsibility, and any additional time or costs resulting from these delays will be borne entirely by the Client.
Timeline Adjustments:
The Service Provider reserves the right to extend deadlines proportionally to the delay caused by the Client’s lack of response, delayed content delivery, or approval hold-ups.

2.4 Access and Management

I. Website Access:

For Website Design & Development services, the Client will be granted Manager Access immediately after the website is completed and goes live.
Full Admin Panel Access will be provided after the initial 12-month contract period has been fulfilled.
In cases where websites are built using third-party platforms such as Shopify, the Service Provider may perform work within an account that is initially accessible to the Client. However, all custom design, code, applications, and integrations developed by the Service Provider remain its exclusive intellectual property until the Client has fulfilled the full 12-month contract term and completed all payments.
In the event of early termination or nonpayment, the Client agrees not to retain, use, reproduce, or transfer any part of the Service Provider’s work. Unauthorized use of the delivered work in such cases shall constitute a material breach of contract and intellectual property infringement, subjecting the Client to legal consequences including but not limited to injunctive relief, recovery of damages, attorney fees, and statutory penalties under applicable intellectual property laws.

II. Inventory Management:

The Client is responsible for managing and updating their own inventory unless otherwise stated in a separate written agreement or if the Client has purchased inventory management as part of their selected plan.

2.5 Service Expectations and Limitations (Digital Marketing Plans Only)

Marketing Objective:
For Clients enrolled in Digital Marketing plans, the Service Provider's objective is to improve the Client’s online presence and generate high-quality leads through services such as SEO, social media, content marketing, and advertising.
No Guaranteed Sales:
The Service Provider’s role is to generate marketing reach, brand awareness, and leads. Sales performance, conversions, and customer behavior are influenced by multiple external factors and remain outside the Service Provider’s control.
As such, the Client agrees that marketing results will be evaluated based on measurable KPIs including traffic, lead volume, SEO ranking, and engagement metrics—not on final sales or revenue.
Factors Beyond Service Provider’s Control Include:
- Product quality, pricing, and availability
- Customer service and sales processes implemented by the Client
- Industry competition and shifting market trends
- Client's follow-up speed and strategy
Performance Benchmarks:
The success of Digital Marketing services will be evaluated using measurable marketing metrics such as:
- Website traffic
- Lead volume and engagement
- Social media growth and interaction
- SEO ranking improvements
These performance indicators—not the Client’s sales numbers—are the official benchmarks for service delivery.

Service Uptime Guarantee:
The Service Provider guarantees 99.9% uptime for all hosted services under this Agreement, ensuring reliable performance and minimal downtime.

2.7 Intellectual Property

Ownership During Contract Term:
All creative materials and assets produced by the Service Provider during the course of this Agreement, including but not limited to website design, written content, marketing materials, graphics, and code, will remain the sole property of the Service Provider until the initial contract term is completed.
Client Usage Rights After Contract Term:
Upon successful completion of the initial contract term (12 months for Digital Marketing and Web Design plans), the Client will receive full usage rights to all deliverables created as part of the project. These rights include the ability to edit, distribute, and publish the content for their business use.

Data Protection:
The Service Provider will handle, store, and protect all Client data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and recognized industry best practices. Reasonable security measures will be maintained to safeguard sensitive information.
Data Breach Notification:
In the event of a confirmed data breach, the Service Provider will notify the Client within 24 hours of discovery. Immediate steps will be taken to control the breach and prevent further unauthorized access.

If the Client fails to respond within 14 business days to a critical request, the Service Provider reserves the right to pause the project and adjust the timeline accordingly.
Approval and Cooperation:
- If the Client fails to provide required feedback, approvals, or deliverables within a reasonable timeframe, the Service Provider reserves the right to extend project deadlines accordingly.
- The Client acknowledges that lack of cooperation can directly affect project outcomes and agrees not to withhold payment due to such delays.
Social Media Content:
For Digital Marketing services, the Client is responsible for supplying all social media content unless content creation is included in their selected plan. This includes:
- High-quality product images
