fulfillment Policy
Refund Policy
We do not offer refunds for our services. As a marketing agency, clients pay a monthly retainer fee to retain our expertise and services. Our agreements are month-to-month, providing clients the flexibility to discontinue after any given month. We are confident in the value we deliver and believe that our month-to-month model eliminates the need for refunds.
Shipping/Delivery Policy
Our services are considered "delivered" through the following means:
Campaign Execution: Creating and sending email and SMS campaigns.
Monthly Strategy: Crafting and executing a calendar of initiatives, including email campaigns, SMS campaigns, offer testing, popup testing, and more.
We act as an extension of your internal team, collaborating with you daily to ensure the success of your retention marketing efforts.
Timeliness of Communication
To maintain project flow and meet deadlines, it is mandatory for clients to provide timely feedback and approvals within 1 business day. If delays occur due to untimely responses, missing assets, or unclear instructions from the client, we cannot be held responsible for any late campaign launches or changes to the planned initiatives.
Return Policy
We maintain full transparency with our clients during the planning and execution phases:
Before launching any email, SMS campaign, or test, clients have the opportunity to review and approve all mockups.
During this phase, we are happy to accommodate any revisions or adjustments to ensure alignment with your expectations.
Our work is structured around monthly deliverables and initiatives rather than hourly billing. This flexibility allows us to provide a holistic, results-driven approach to retention marketing.
Cancellation Policy
All agreements are month-to-month unless stated otherwise.
Notice Period
Clients must provide at least 10 days' notice if they wish to discontinue services for the upcoming month. This is necessary because we begin preparing for the next month's initiatives 14 days in advance. If no cancellation notice is received within the 10-day window, the agreement will automatically extend for one additional month.
Long-Term Contracts
Clients who trust us with a longer commitment (3, 6, or 9 months) may be eligible for reduced retainer rates. This is our way of showing appreciation for your trust and partnership.
Payment Policy
Our standard payment structure requires the full monthly retainer to be paid upfront on the first day of the engagement period.
For clients requiring alternative payment schedules, accommodations may be made on a case-by-case basis. However, retainer fees may be adjusted to account for the added financial risk and exposure. These adjustments will be communicated clearly during the agreement process.
Client Obligations
To ensure smooth project execution, clients are responsible for:
Providing Assets: Supplying imagery, photos, videos, or other necessary materials for campaigns in a timely manner.
Approving Deliverables: Reviewing and approving campaign mockups within the agreed-upon timeframes (typically 1 business day).
Establishing Protocols: Clearly outlining how to handle situations where timely communication is not possible. For example, if we must launch a campaign on a set date and the client is unresponsive, we need prior authorization to proceed autonomously.
Failure to fulfill these obligations may impact the success and timeliness of our efforts.
Third-Party Platforms
We rely on tools like Klaviyo, Postscript, and other third-party service providers to deliver our services. While we aim for seamless execution, occasional outages or issues with these platforms are beyond our control. In such cases, we will communicate promptly and work to resolve the situation to the best of our ability.
