Customer acknowledges and understands that software and/or website development projects are NOT fixed-price projects in any way. The estimate of development and design hours provided in the invoice to Client by Company is based exclusively on a “BEST ESTIMATE” of total development time in hours projected to be spent by Company and its development team to design, develop and complete the project. If the Company’s total time spent on the development/design project exceeds the time estimate provided to Client via the invoice, Customer will be invoiced accordingly at the standard hourly rate. Invoices are due in full once issued and deposit to commence the project is paid. Payments for all development and design projects made to us in increments is only a courtesy to the client. Once a payment or deposit is made, it is non-refundable and the full balance of the invoice is due to Company without exception.

Customer is free to choose the web hosting company of its choice and Company will migrate the website to the web host of Customer’s choice for a migration fee. Migration to a separate third party web host will have certain technical requirements that Customer will be responsible for if Customer chooses to use a third-party hosting service.
Customer acknowledges and understands that software and website development involves hundreds if not thousands of small details and that development of a new website or software product/integration often involves new ideas, evolutions, iterations or changes that the Customer would like implemented as the project develops over time. Customer also acknowledges that it is impossible for Company to anticipate Customer’s exact development and design wishes as the project gets underway and that the estimated time to complete a project in the invoice are solely a good faith estimate provided for the Customer’s own budget/resource planning and is in no way a guarantee the work performed and completed under the invoice will be completed under the time estimate provided.

Recurring products and subscription services are defined as the same product or subscription service being invoiced and provided for two or more consecutive months. Examples of these recurring subscription services include, but are not limited to, content marketing, web presence, SEO, local search visibility, PPC, social media, reputation and location data management and directory listing marketing. Invoices are issued in advance of services being rendered on all recurring subscription services. Payments for all digital marketing subscription services are non-refundable without exception. All digital/internet/online marketing solutions are a pre-paid monthly recurring subscription and payments for the invoices issued each month are payments in advance for the services to be rendered. Quite often we expend hard costs in the beginning of the new billing cycle to provide for the subscribed products and/or services. We do not receive refunds on advertising dollars spent or labor hours expended/provided to conduct the work noted in the invoice, therefore we cannot and do not provide any refunds on any digital marketing services once payment is made for any reason. While we do not require a contract with any of our digital marketing packages, a 30-day written notice of cancellation is required to cancel any of these recurring invoiced products and services and shall be assessed as a cancellation fee in the event that Customer fails to provide Company with proper notice of intent to cancel services. No exceptions. Month one payment of your digital marketing solution shall be deemed as your authorization and acceptance of this policy. Written notice of cancellation may be sent by email to info[at]jbldigitalmarketing.co. Due to the nature of recurring services and the costs to Company to deliver them, recurring services will be suspended if an account invoice remains unpaid past 14 days of the date of issue. Unpaid invoices are delinquent and turned over to collections after 30 days.
Digital advertising is a recurring product and service however digital advertising campaigns require significant setup and ongoing connections to many different third-party providers for audience targeting and advertising campaign deployment. Third-party platforms include, but are not limited to, Google Ads, Google Display Network, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, Geofence Ads and more. Due to the extensive and significant amount of setup and ongoing maintenance required for deploying digital advertising campaigns, ALL digital ad campaigns require a three (3) month minimum commitment. The start date of the campaign is the date the customer makes the payment on the first invoice for the actual ad campaign deployment. Please note that ad campaign setup is NOT part of the 3-month minimum commitment. Once the setup phase of the digital ad campaign is complete, Company issues Customer a separate invoice for the ad campaign which includes advertising spend, campaign management and optimizations, and ongoing monthly analysis and reporting. If customer cancels a digital advertising solution with Company prior to the 90-day minimum, Customer is responsible for paying the full amount of the 90-day term using the first month’s line item amount(s) as the monthly obligation to calculate the total minimum due for the three-month commitment requirement and the remaining balance of the three-month minimum term shall be assessed as a cancellation fee in the event that Customer fails to provide Company with proper notice of intent to cancel digital advertising solutions.
Payments for all consulting services are non-refundable without exception. Consulting services provide immense value in the knowledge, advice, trade secrets, methods, strategies, tactics and other valuable considerations provided by us in and through the consultative process. Because of the nature of these services we do not provide refunds on any payments made on any invoice for consulting services by Company.
You authorize JBL Digital Marketing (Company) to bill all charges related to products and/or services provided by Company to the credit card provided by you and agree to pay these charges according to the cardholder agreement. You agree that there are no refunds for any reason under the terms and policies stated herein. You hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the card issuer to deny any chargeback requests relating to this charge authorization at anytime and for any reason and agree that fax, digital or electronic transmission of this agreement and/or payment on any invoice is mutually acceptable and legally binding under these terms and conditions and constitutes acknowledgment of these terms and conditions as noted on the associated invoice.
If, at any time after you have placed your order and made a payment for the product/subscription service from our site or over the phone, you subsequently attempt to file a chargeback with your credit card company or your credit card is declined, we reserve the right to have your work removed from the Internet immediately and cease all work in progress. As some of our services are delivered via email or the internet, the client will have access to all files so emailed or hosted in the cloud. In the event of a decline or chargeback being filed where you are still in possession of any of Company’s work product, we may commence any necessary legal action to prevent any unauthorized or unlawful use of our work or work product. All files are to be returned to us immediately and are not to be used by the client at any future stage until the decline or chargeback issue has been resolved and we have been compensated for work performed, products and/or services, or both.
If we receive a decline, chargeback or payment dispute (i.e. PayPal Dispute or Credit Card dispute) from a credit card company or bank, your service and/or project will be suspended without further notice. A $250.00 decline/chargeback fee (issued to recover fees passed on to us by our merchant account and/or back and labor to process), plus any outstanding balances accrued as a result of the chargeback(s) must be paid in full before service is restored, files delivered, or any further work is done. Instead of issuing a chargeback, contact us to address any billing issues or questions. Requesting a chargeback or opening a PayPal dispute for a valid charge from us is a fraud and is never an appropriate or legal means of obtaining a refund. Please read and make sure you fully understand our billing, payment terms and refund policy prior to making a payment. If any arbitration or legal proceeding is brought for the enforcement of these terms and conditions under this Agreement, or because of an alleged breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any provision of this Agreement, or other dispute concerning this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with such arbitration or legal proceeding.
