Christopher & Company offers a range of digital marketing services, including but not limited to web development, SEO, social media management, advertising, and content creation. The specific scope, timeline, and fees for these services will be mutually agreed upon in a separate Service Agreement.

3. Payment Terms

  • Pricing: Our pricing is customized based on the services you require and will be detailed in a written proposal or contract.
  • Payment Schedule: Payments are due according to the agreed-upon schedule in the Service Agreement. An initial payment is required before work begins.

  • Non-Payment: If payment is not made within 28 days of the due date, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate services. Any deliverables or assets created will remain our property until full payment is received.

4. Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing accurate information, timely feedback, approvals, and all necessary materials required for the project. Delays resulting from the Client’s failure to provide required materials or feedback may affect the project timeline, and we will not be liable for such delays.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

  • Ownership Transfer: All deliverables, including websites, designs, and content, will remain the intellectual property of Christopher & Company until full payment has been received. Once full payment is made, ownership rights will transfer to the Client unless otherwise stated.
  • Portfolio Use: By engaging our services, the Client grants us permission to use the completed work in our portfolio and marketing materials unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain confidentiality concerning any proprietary or sensitive information shared during the course of the engagement. This includes client information, marketing strategies, and business details. Neither party will disclose such information to third parties without prior written consent, except as required by law.
