EXCLUSIVE BUSINESS MARKETING SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. INTRODUCTION: Exclusive Business Marketing (“EBM”), agrees to provide you (the “USER”) with web services such as Web Design, Graphic Design, Video Creation, Advertising, Business Marketing, and / or Marketing Management Services, Website Maintenance, IT Support, subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions. These terms can be voided, changed, edited, by Exclusive Business Marketing, at any time, for any reason, without notification. Exclusive Business Marketing can void or exit any agreement that is set up for recurring management for any reason, or If the monthly Marketing Management fee is not paid by USER (person who has signed our agreement via DocuSign), or declined by bank or credit card company, as per agreement provided via DocuSign. Exclusive Business Marketing agreements come in two forms, one is a standard invoice for services ordered such as Website and Video Commercials, and one is in the form of a Marketing Management contract (sometimes these are combined). The Marketing Management Contract (Transaction Invoice) contract can be for monthly marketing of a product or service, SEO, advertising, Google AdWords Management, Social Media Advertisements, etc. If the USER has signed an agreement for Digital Web Products such Website Design and Build, Video Commercial, Video Editing, Social Media Marketing, Graphic Design, or any other service that requires a developer to create something digital online or elsewhere, there is absolutely no refunds. If the USER has signed an agreement for monthly recurring marketing of their product or service, there is absolutely no refunds provided once the agreement has been signed and work started. Once we begin work on an agreed upon project there are immediate incurred expenses and absolutely no refunds can be negotiated. All Management Contracts for monthly Marketing Campaigns require a recurring monthly payment for the contract to be considered active and in good standing. All payment agreements start on the date of “Sign-Up Date” specified on your initial “Transaction Invoice” and your monthly recurring “Account Management” fee is due every 30 days from the “Sign-Up Date”, unless a different date is specified in the “Recurring Bill Date” located on the initial “Transaction Invoice”. All payments need to be made on time or contract can be voided or cancelled at the discretion of management at Exclusive Business Marketing. The initial deposit is non-refundable in all occasions and any monthly management fees that have been paid will be forfeited.
2. TERM, PAYMENT, & MODIFICATION: The term of this agreement shall commence and become effective as of the sign-up date, which coincides with the one-time non-refundable down payment (SETUP FEE). This set-up fee always includes the first month of marketing management unless specified on the initial DocuSign “Transaction Invoice”. Site creation is included with initial setup fee, unless otherwise stated on initial “Transaction Invoice” and the monthly recurring “management fee” only includes management of the campaign, it never includes paid ads. In addition, Exclusive Business Marketing will use any USER-provided content to assist in site creation. Any content provided, USER revisions, or site alteration requests after site is active on the internet may be subject to design fee The design fee will not be applied if Exclusive Business Marketing is correcting an error on the site. Design fee base rate is $75.00 USD Per hour. There is never a guarantee that the design you want can be created. In all cases, Exclusive Business Marketing will take whatever steps it deems necessary to create the website features as close as possible to what is recommended by the USER. All websites are built using the WordPress website platform and EBM (Exclusive Business Marketing) can only design products within the scope of the WordPress platform capabilities. If the USER has requested features that are outside of the capabilities of the said website, we reserve the right to refuse the build of that particular feature(s), or can suggest an alternative and that alternative may come with additional pricing which will be paid by the USER.

Presence and Website Optimization differs in results with each client depending on area and saturation of industry. Exclusive Business Marketing has continued success ranking their clients on the first page of search engines organically, but in some cases, a Pay Per Click ad will be necessary for guaranteed results. Exclusive Business Marketing is dedicated to producing results for our clients (USER). USER agrees that billing is paid monthly for Marketing Management,  in accordance to date of agreement and shall remain that way until USER notifies Exclusive Business Marketing in writing of cancellation. USER must cancel with a minimum of 15-day notice prior to the next billing date or will be charged for next billing date and cancellation will go into effect the following month. If USER cancels before monthly billing cycle is complete, USER agrees to pay for entire month.

3. CANCELLATION: The periodic Exclusive Business Marketing fee is valid from the period starting on the billing date and continues through the periodic anniversary date (6 months/12 months/18 months and so on). Upon the fulfillment of the USER Agreement with Exclusive Business Marketing, if USER wishes to terminate service more than 15 days prior to the next anniversary billing date, the next monthly fee will not be charged. If USER requests to terminate service within 15 days of the next anniversary billing date, then USER agrees to pay the charge due on the next billing date. When cancelling service with Exclusive Business Marketing, USER must call or email and receive a cancellation confirmation number 15 days prior to USER’s anniversary billing date before service can be terminated. USER agrees that any charges incurred prior to cancellation are valid. Upon cancellation Exclusive Business Marketing will keep the website online and active for 30 days or until repurposing, whichever is sooner. Repurposing will require the USER to obtain their own hosting and domain transfer fees will be billed at cost. EBM can cancel an agreement at any time, for any reason. It is understood there are no early cancellations while under contract. USER agrees to pay all contract fees according to the service agreement terms.
4. CHARGEBACK / PAST DUE PAYMENTS / BREACH OF CONTRACT: In the event the USER (signer of the agreement) cannot make a payment due to unforeseen circumstances, it is agreed that the USER will contact EBM immediately to provide necessary information so the account can be “paused” for a specified period of time (so new expenses and fees are not incurred). The USER is still responsible for the remaining contract total. A “pause” in service can be extended up to 45 days from the date of the initial notification from USER. In the event of a “Charge-Back” by the USER for any amount previously paid or owed to EBM, this will be deemed an immediate BREACH OF CONTRACT. The USER will be notified of the CHARGE BACK by email. The USER will have 3-days from the date of the email to remit payment of the CHARGE BACK amount. If payment is not received within 3-days, a small claims will be filed for the full or remaining contract total plus USER agrees to pay all fees related to EBM disputing the chargeback and all fees related to filing a small claims case. The user will be billed at the rate of $75 per hour for every hour that is required for us to dispute the charge-back with the credit card company, file any claims, time away from the office to file claims, and all time needed to attend trial (20-40 hours on average). In the event the USER has pre-paid for a single digital product such as a Video Commercial or Website or Social Media Marketing Package and there is no recurring marketing associated with the agreement, it is understood that if a CHARGE BACK is initiated by the USER and a Small Claim Case needs to be filed, it will be filed for 1.5 x the amount of the initial agreement price plus the USER will be responsible for all fees related to disputing the chargeback as well as all fees related to filing a small claims case. It is also understood that Exclusive Business Marketing, LLC is a nationwide company and we reserve the right to file a small claims case locally to Orange County, California (where our main office is located), or in the county and state of the client. This will be at our sole discretion. If the case if filed locally, you will be responsible for all travel expenses. 
5. PAYMENT: Except as expressly set forth herein, all payments are non-refundable. If payment is made using a credit card or if there are any periodic charges for publication of a site, those charges may be billed automatically to a credit card provided by USER. USER agrees to have credit card on file charged monthly by Exclusive Business Marketing. Unless Exclusive Business Marketing provides a written billing agreement listing otherwise, charges will be automatically billed to the credit card USER designated during the setup process. Exclusive Business Marketing reserves the right to collect and send to collection agencies any outstanding balance due 30 days after the payment due date. If USER’s credit card on file expires, USER hereby gives Exclusive Business Marketing permission to charge the credit card with a later expiration date to allow for continued payment of Exclusive Business Marketing service.
