Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the provision of digital marketing services by:

By submitting an enquiry, signing a proposal or scope of work document, making a payment, or otherwise engaging SAVVYARDS for services, you ("Client") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not engage our services.

SAVVYARDS is not currently registered as a company in any country and delivers its services remotely from India. These Terms do not imply the existence of any local offices, subsidiaries, or registered addresses in any country served.

2. Services

SAVVYARDS provides remote digital marketing execution services including, but not limited to: paid advertising (PPC/social), search engine optimisation (SEO), content marketing, email marketing, social media management, brand strategy, e-commerce execution, and web development.

All services are delivered remotely from India. No in-person meetings, physical deliveries, or local presence is offered or implied in any country.

SAVVYARDS operates on a daily-hours execution model. Clients select the number of execution hours required per day; those hours are reserved for the Client each month and billed in advance, as set out in Section 3. The minimum engagement is 4 hours per day.

The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and any KPIs tracked (but not guaranteed — see Section 5) will be agreed in writing before commencement. Any changes to scope must be approved in writing by both parties.

3. Payment Terms

• Currency — All fees are quoted and invoiced in USD (United States Dollars). No other currency is accepted unless agreed in writing.
• Billing in advance — The agreed execution hours are reserved for the Client each month. Each month's fee is invoiced at the start of that month, before work for the month begins.
• Monthly fee — The monthly fee equals the agreed execution hours per day, multiplied by the number of billable days in the month, multiplied by the agreed hourly rate. The hourly rate is confirmed in writing before the engagement begins.
• Billable days and the holiday calendar — Billable days are the working days (Monday to Friday) in the month, less the holidays in the holiday calendar agreed with the Client. The holiday calendar is agreed month by month and shared with the Client before the engagement begins. Agreed holidays are not billed.
• Payment and start of work — Work for a month begins once that month's payment has been received. If an invoice remains unpaid 7 calendar days after it is issued, SAVVYARDS will stop work until payment is received. No interest is charged on late payment.
• Client availability — If the Client is unavailable, or does not provide the access, approvals or input needed, on a billable day for any reason, that time remains the Client's responsibility and is not refunded or carried over.
• Hours SAVVYARDS cannot deliver — If SAVVYARDS cannot deliver reserved hours for reasons on its side (for example illness or a technical outage), those hours are made up within 30 days or credited on the next invoice.
• Taxes — All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. Clients are solely responsible for any taxes, duties, GST, VAT, withholding taxes, or levies applicable in their jurisdiction on payments made to SAVVYARDS.
• Third-party ad spend — Advertising spend on platforms such as Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn is billed directly by those platforms to the Client. Ad spend is entirely separate from and in addition to SAVVYARDS' execution fees.

4. Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full payment of all outstanding invoices, all deliverables created specifically for the Client (including ad creatives, written copy, strategy documents, and campaign assets) become the property of the Client.

SAVVYARDS retains the right to reference completed work in its portfolio and marketing materials unless the Client requests otherwise in writing before commencement. This right does not include disclosure of confidential client data.

All methodologies, processes, frameworks, templates, proprietary systems, and know-how developed by or belonging to SAVVYARDS ("SAVVYARDS IP") remain the exclusive intellectual property of SAVVYARDS. During the engagement, the Client receives a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use SAVVYARDS IP solely for the purposes of the engagement. This licence terminates upon the end of the engagement.

5. No Performance Guarantees

SAVVYARDS commits to best-practice execution, transparency, and continuous improvement. However, the Client acknowledges and agrees that:

• No specific search engine rankings, positions, traffic volumes, conversion rates, revenue targets, or return on ad spend (ROAS) are guaranteed by SAVVYARDS.
• SEO outcomes depend on factors entirely outside SAVVYARDS' control, including search engine algorithm updates, competitor activity, changes to the Client's website, and market conditions.
• Paid advertising results depend on platform algorithms, auction dynamics, industry competition, ad budget levels, audience targeting options, landing page quality, and factors specific to each advertising platform.
• Any projections, forecasts, or estimates provided by SAVVYARDS are illustrative only and do not constitute promises or warranties of results.
• SAVVYARDS is not liable for any loss of revenue, profit, or business opportunity resulting from changes to search engine or advertising platform algorithms, platform policy changes, or any other factor outside SAVVYARDS' control.

6. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential all non-public, proprietary, or commercially sensitive information received from the other party. SAVVYARDS will not disclose Client business data, campaign metrics, financial information, strategic plans, or client identities to any third party without the Client's express written consent.

A mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is available upon request and will be executed before any confidential information is shared. Confidentiality obligations survive termination of the engagement indefinitely.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SAVVYARDS's total aggregate liability to the Client for all claims arising from or related to these Terms or the services shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client to SAVVYARDS in the three (3) calendar months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

In no event shall SAVVYARDS be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of profit, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or loss of business opportunity, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable mandatory law, including any liability arising from GDPR infringements or mandatory consumer protection legislation.

8. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement by providing 14 calendar days' written notice to the other party. There is no minimum contract term or lock-in period.

The notice period is covered by the month the Client has already paid for, so there is no separate charge for it. If the notice period runs past the end of a paid month, the additional billable days are invoiced at the same rate. Invoices issued before termination remain due and payable.

SAVVYARDS reserves the right to terminate an engagement immediately, without notice, if the Client engages in conduct that is fraudulent, illegal, abusive, threatening, or in material breach of these Terms.

9. Acceptable Use

By engaging SAVVYARDS, the Client warrants that:

• The Client's business, products, and services are lawful in all jurisdictions in which they operate
• The Client has the authority and right to provide SAVVYARDS with all assets, access, and information shared during the engagement
• The Client's advertising campaigns and content do not violate the policies of any advertising platform (Google, Meta, TikTok, etc.) or applicable law
• The Client will not use SAVVYARDS' services to promote illegal products or services, hate speech, misleading claims, or content that violates any applicable law or regulation

SAVVYARDS reserves the right to decline or immediately cease work on any campaign, creative, or content that, in its sole judgement, violates these standards.

10. Geographic Restrictions

SAVVYARDS delivers services to clients globally on a remote basis from India. However, SAVVYARDS reserves the right to decline any engagement from any jurisdiction where applicable law makes service provision impractical or non-compliant for a remote, India-based provider.

11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising from or relating to these Terms or the services (including their formation, validity, breach, or termination) shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Delhi, India.

EU clients: The choice of Indian governing law does not affect any mandatory rights you hold under applicable EU consumer protection law or the GDPR.

Before initiating formal dispute proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation for a period of 30 days.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter herein and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral.

12. Changes & Contact

SAVVYARDS may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, regulation, or our services. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of our services after any revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

For engagements already in progress when Terms are updated, the version in force at commencement of the engagement shall govern unless both parties agree in writing to adopt the revised Terms.
