Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the DeckBuildersMarketing website and the services described on it. In these Terms, "DeckBuildersMarketing," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the provider of this website and services.

These website Terms apply to visitors and users of the website. If you engage us for marketing or other professional services, the specific proposal, statement of work, or written service agreement may contain additional terms that apply to that engagement.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms and any applicable laws. If you do not agree, please stop using the website. If you are using the website or agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a business or other organization, you confirm that you are authorized to do so.

3. About DeckBuildersMarketing

DeckBuildersMarketing provides digital marketing-related services for deck builders and outdoor living businesses. Information on this website is provided to describe our agency and the types of services that may be available. It is not, by itself, an offer or guarantee that a particular service is available in every location or situation.

4. Website Use

You may use this website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not harm us, other users, or the website. You must not:

• Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, or misleading purposes.
• Attempt unauthorized access to the website, its hosting environment, accounts, or related systems.
• Upload, transmit, or distribute malware, harmful code, or disruptive material.
• Copy, reproduce, scrape, or misuse website content except where permitted by law or with our written permission.
• Interfere with the website’s operation, availability, or security.
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information.

We may take reasonable steps to protect the website and enforce these Terms.

5. Marketing Services

Depending on the engagement, our services may include:

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Local SEO.
• Website design and development.
• Google Business Profile optimization.
• Paid advertising management.
• Lead generation and marketing strategy.
• Website performance and conversion optimization.

The actual services, scope, deliverables, fees, timelines, assumptions, and responsibilities for a client engagement will be set out in the relevant proposal, agreement, statement of work, or written confirmation. A service is not included merely because it is mentioned as a possible service on this website.

6. No Guarantee of Results

Digital marketing results depend on many factors, including competition, budget, website condition, market demand, client responsiveness, search engine algorithms, advertising platform policies, and other factors outside our control.

We do not guarantee specific search rankings, traffic levels, leads, conversions, sales, revenue, or return on investment. Search engines and advertising platforms may change their algorithms, policies, or systems at any time. Past performance, examples, estimates, or case studies do not guarantee future results.

7. Client Responsibilities

When engaging us for services, you agree, as applicable, to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and current business information.
• Provide timely access to relevant accounts, systems, content, images, and materials needed for the work.
• Review deliverables and provide feedback, approvals, and decisions within a reasonable time.
• Ensure you own or have permission to use the materials, claims, images, logos, and other content you provide.
• Pay invoices in accordance with the payment terms agreed for your project.
• Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and third-party platform policies in your business operations.

Delays in providing information, access, or approvals may affect project timelines and deliverables.

8. Payments and Fees

Service fees, deposits, payment schedules, recurring charges, expenses, and any other applicable charges will be communicated in the individual proposal or service agreement. We do not set universal prices, payment deadlines, refund periods, late-payment penalties, or cancellation fees through these general website Terms.

Where a signed agreement or written service arrangement specifies payment terms, that agreement will control for the relevant engagement. Any changes to fees or billing arrangements should be confirmed in writing.

9. Project Timelines and Deliverables

Project timelines and delivery dates depend on the agreed scope, timely client cooperation, access to required accounts and materials, approvals, and the availability and performance of third-party platforms or providers.

Requests that change the agreed scope or require additional work may require a revised proposal, adjusted timeline, additional fees, or written approval before the work begins.

10. Intellectual Property

The website and its content, including text, graphics, design elements, logos, and other materials, may be protected by intellectual property laws. Except as permitted by law, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or commercially exploit website content without appropriate permission.

Ownership and permitted use of materials created specifically for a client—including website content, copy, graphics, designs, and other deliverables—will be determined by the applicable service agreement. Nothing in these Terms creates a blanket transfer of ownership or license for client deliverables.

Subject to applicable agreements and law, DeckBuildersMarketing retains its rights in pre-existing materials, methods, processes, tools, templates, know-how, and website content used or developed independently of a client engagement.

11. Third-Party Services and Platforms

Our website or services may involve third-party platforms and providers, which may include search engines, social networks such as Google or Meta, advertising networks, hosting providers, analytics platforms, and scheduling or communication tools. These are examples only and do not mean that every listed service is currently used or integrated.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms, policies, and availability. We do not control third-party decisions, algorithm or policy changes, service interruptions, account restrictions, suspensions, or outages. Where our work depends on a third-party platform, those matters may affect results or delivery.

12. Website Availability

We aim to keep our website available and functioning, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuous access. The website may be unavailable or changed temporarily due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, security measures, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, DeckBuildersMarketing will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential losses, or for loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, data, goodwill, or anticipated savings, arising from or related to your use of this website or reliance on information provided through it.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law. Any liability relating to paid services may also be addressed in the applicable client agreement.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the website, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights. This does not apply to the extent a claim results from conduct for which applicable law does not permit you to be held responsible.

15. Privacy

Your use of the website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how information may be collected, used, and handled. Please review it before submitting personal or business information through the website.

16. External Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or resources for convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, availability, products, services, or privacy practices of external websites. Accessing third-party websites is at your own discretion and subject to their terms.

17. Suspension or Termination

We may restrict or suspend access to the website where we reasonably consider it necessary because of misuse, security concerns, unlawful activity, or a violation of these Terms. This website-access provision does not replace or modify termination, cancellation, or suspension rights set out in an individual client service agreement.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the website, our services, business practices, or legal requirements. We will display the latest revision date at the top of this page. Where permitted by applicable law, continued use of the website after revised Terms take effect may indicate acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to an update, stop using the website.

19. Governing Law and Disputes

[Insert applicable U.S. state] is the proposed governing-law jurisdiction and must be confirmed before publication. Do not rely on this placeholder as a selected jurisdiction. Any governing-law, venue, or dispute-resolution terms for a paid client engagement may instead be specified in the applicable client agreement, subject to applicable law.
