1. Communication Standards
- All communication between the client and the agency must occur through approved and documented channels:
- Official company email accounts.
- A client portal or project management system (if provided).
- Scheduled phone or video meetings.
- This prevents miscommunication and ensures accountability for both parties.
- Response Time Commitments:
- Critical issues (e.g., website outage, urgent campaign error): reply within 24 hours.
- Standard issues (e.g., content updates, minor requests): reply within 1–2 business days.
- General inquiries: reply within 3 business days.
- Clients are responsible for providing clear instructions, meeting deadlines for approvals, and communicating expected timelines.
- Clients must designate a primary contact person for communication.
- Clients must ensure that all necessary materials, data, and approvals are provided in a timely manner to avoid delays.
- Failure to cooperate or respond within agreed timelines may result in project delays or suspension, as described in the Cancellation & Service Termination Policy.
- The agency collects only the data required to provide agreed services, which may include:
- Contact details (name, email, phone).

Many of our services, particularly Search Engine Optimization (SEO), are designed as long-term strategies. It takes time for these efforts to build momentum and show measurable results, with initial signs of effectiveness often appearing after six months. To ensure the strategy has a chance to succeed, our service agreements, especially for SEO, are structured with a minimum initial term, often lasting six months. This initial term is legally binding.
During this minimum service term, cancellation is not permitted, and no refunds will be provided for services that have been delivered.
