RevvSpark Client Terms & Legal Policies

Intellectual Property Rights

Last updated May 26, 2023.

TL;DR

The work we do for you becomes yours once you pay for it.

You can’t use the work until you pay for it.

If you don’t pay for it, we won’t be delivering it.

We retain the copyright and can share our work in our portfolio.

Supplier agrees that any and all deliverables, plans, specifications, documentation, and other materials delivered to Client under the Proposal, excluding all development ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, inventions, or discoveries developed by Supplier, are and shall become the property of Client, upon final payment for the work.

Until final payment has cleared Supplier financial institution processing, ownership of the work remains with the Supplier. The Supplier can, at any time, refuse to deliver work due to Client nonpayment.

The Client may not use any work that has been delivered, until final payment for all work has cleared Supplier financial institution processing.

Copyright of the material remains sole property of the Supplier, and Supplier may use material in portfolio as Client Work examples.

Supplier’s original Intellectual Property, including templates, worksheets, guides, walkthroughs, diagrams, inventions, videos, training, and frameworks outside of Client deliverables are and shall be the property of Supplier.

Communications

Last updated May 26, 2023.

TL;DR

We are available weekdays (excluding holidays) during normal working hours, Pacific Time.

Don’t expect an answer outside of those hours except in emergency.

An emergency is strictly a life-or-death emergency.

We communicate via email – if you require communication via a different platform, this is an extra cost.

Don’t be a jerk to our team.

Our work hours are 8a-5p Pacific Time, M-F (not including company holidays). After-hours requests and communications will be responded to the next business day. Communications during business hours will be responded to within 24 hours. We are available via email for all requests.

We will do our best to respond to emergencies outside of our normal business hours.

Emergencies include sudden sickness, accidents, sudden disappearance of website we are managing, or anything sudden, unexpected, life-threatening, or that impact Client business in a significant way.

Emergencies do not include Client thinking of a new direction for campaign, changing strategy, shifting course, stopping ad spend, doing something else because a competitor is, or website, social platform, or internet issues outside of our control.

If a Client requires our team to be available for communication via one of their preferred platforms (eg, Text/Voxer/Slack), it is an additional cost per team member per month for this service.

We adhere to a non-bullying and equitable treatment policy; if Client repeatedly subjects our team members to verbal harassment, discrimination, or threats we reserve the right to terminate the Client relationship.

Assumptions & Exclusions

Last updated August 17, 2022.

Client agrees not to solicit, or make offers of employment to, or enter into consultant relationships with any RevvSpark employee involved, directly or indirectly, in the performance of growth hacking services hereunder for twelve (12) months after the date such employee ceases to perform services under these terms. Client shall not be prevented from hiring any employee who responds to a general hiring program conducted in the ordinary course of business and not specifically directed to such growth hacking employees.

Changes in scope are not allowed. Additional or different services requested by the client may be accommodated at an additional cost through a separate Project or Project Change Order.

At the Proposal stage there will still be unknowns about Client’s state of business, business processes, cashflow, technology stack, and specific issues. The Proposal has been created with the information that we have today, and as such, will always be as comprehensive as we can make it without specific knowledge. The budget has been generated to cover such information that Supplier was not aware of at the time, however, there are elements of the Proposal that may indicate extra costs relating to these items when full discovery has been completed. The costs for these items will be scoped separately in addition to the items covered in the Proposal.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY

The Supplier agrees that both during and after engagement with the Client and the Company, the Supplier will not use for the Supplier’s own, or for another’s benefit, or disclose or permit the disclosure of any confidential information relating to the Client or the Company,

The Supplier may:

• use the Confidential Information of the other party solely for the purposes of complying with its obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement; and

The Company is required and shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Supplier against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including legal fees and expenses, which shall be advanced by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law prior to a final and non-appealable determination that the Supplier is not entitled to be indemnified), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals, in which the Supplier may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of his status or former status as Senior Business Development Manager whether arising from acts or omissions, except to the extent such indemnification claim is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to arise out of the Supplier’s bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct.

To the full extent permitted by law, the Supplier excludes all representations, warranties or terms (whether express or implied) other than those expressly set out in this Agreement or the Proposal.

This Agreement is to be read subject to any legislation, which prohibits or restricts the exclusion, restriction or modification of any implied warranties, conditions or obligations.

Stock Photography Licensing – depending on the project, the Supplier may need to use stock photography for Client Projects. The license to these images are purchased through third-party platforms and transferred to the Client. We alert the Client to any ongoing costs associated with continuing to use the stock imagery. Maintenance of a valid license for stock imagery is the sole responsibility of the Client once the work has been paid for in full and ownership has transferred to the Client. All liability on the part of the Supplier is excluded once license transfer has occurred.

The Client will also be responsible for any fees and charges applied by his/her/its financial institution for each unsuccessful debit attempt together with any collection fees, including but not limited to any debt recovery agency or law firm’s fee, as may be incurred by the Supplier. The Client authorizes the Supplier to attempt to re-process any unsuccessful payments immediately.

In the event of a failed payment, the Client agrees to pay the Supplier an administrative fee of $12 per failed transaction within 10 days of an invoice being provided. All Supplier invoices must be paid by their Due Date. Any invoice unpaid after its Due Date will incur a 5% Late Fee assessed every month, compounding until the invoice is paid.

Acceptance

Last updated August 17, 2022.

Deliverable Acceptance

All project Deliverables released for approval will be recorded and tracked by the Supplier. All Deliverables will be submitted by Supplier to the Client project manager. Upon receipt of a Deliverable, the Client Project Manager will coordinate the evaluation and approval of that Deliverable within five (5) business days, unless another timeframe is agreed upon. Approvals via email are acceptable if they are explicit, as to which Deliverable is being accepted. The acceptance or rejection of Materials will be based on the description and completion criteria herein.

A deliverable Material is acknowledged in one of the following ways:

1. Approved As-Is. Indicates the acceptance of the deliverable Material prior to the expiration of the deemed accepted date. The deliverable does not require any modifications.

2. Refused With Feedback or Change Request. If a Deliverable Material is rejected, a detailed description of why it was rejected must be included on the form. If required, a meeting can be held to discuss in detail.

In this case, the Deliverable is not considered accepted until the Client feedback has been addressed or Change Request accommodated. Upon resolution of the problem, Supplier will submit a revised Deliverable for approval.

The review period for modified Deliverables will depend upon the number of changes required. The process for review and approval of revised Deliverables will be the same as that for the original Deliverables.

3. Approved By Default. “Conditional” approvals are not allowed. In the event that a Deliverable is neither accepted or rejected in the period specified above, the Supplier will send the Client a Final Acceptance, reflecting that the Deliverable has been approved by default. This Final Acceptance means that all Materials as defined in the Project are complete. Supplier will not push live any website or landing page changes until Client confirms Final Acceptance, but other Deliverables that do not require “pushing live” will be considered accepted and approved by default in the absence of communication from the Client.
