Terms & Conditions

Our DTR with those interacting with our website.

This is a contract between SEO Skyrocket, Inc. dba Digital Skyrocket (“Us” or “We”) and [Client] (“You”). It is an important document because it describes how we will work together and other characteristics of our business relationship. It is also a legal document, so some of the wording is technical. However, we have tried to make it as readable as possible. Even so, these terms and conditions are so important that we cannot provide our services unless you agree to them. By signing below, you agree to these terms and conditions.

These are the standard terms and conditions for all products and/or services provided by SEO Skyrocket, Inc. (“Skyrocket Services”). More specific additional terms and conditions may apply for specific products and/or services, but they do not supersede or amend these. When there is a conflict, this document controls.

1. Fees and Deposits.

For all projects that will not be paid monthly, payment must be received for 50% of all labor costs associated with the project and 100% of all product costs associated with the project. The remaining 50% of all labor costs must be received within 14 days after the completion of the project.

For all projects with a recurring monthly invoice, the entire first payment must be received before we begin work on the project.

You agree to pay any costs of collection, including attorney’s fees. You agree that all past due amounts shall accrue interest until paid at the highest rate permitted by applicable law. In the event the maximum rate is not specified by law, the rate shall be eighteen percent (18%) per annum. In no event shall interest contracted for, charged, or received hereunder, plus any other charges in connection herewith which constitute interest, exceed the maximum interest permitted by applicable law.

2. Supply of Materials.

You must supply all materials and information required by us to complete the work in accordance with any agreed specification. Such materials may include, but are not limited to, pictures, videos, email addresses, account login credentials, written copy, and logos (“Customer Materials”). In the event that we receive such materials at a time that renders us incapable of meeting any agreed upon project deadline, we have the right to extend any previously agreed deadlines by a reasonable amount. Should we fail to receive materials and that failure prevents us from continuing and/or completing your project, we reserve the right to invoice you for any work we have already completed and any items we have already used toward the completion of your project.

Moreover, SEO Skyrocket, Inc. bears no responsibility for copyright infringements caused by materials supplied by our clients (e.g. logos, fonts, photographs, videos, songs).

3. Variations.

We obligate ourselves to fulfill the terms of the contracts we negotiate, so clients are required to supply, prior to the beginning of their project(s), all of their expectations for their project(s). Such expectations may include, but are not limited to, color schemes, font styles, layout specifications, required functionality, number of pages, and the use of media (e.g. pictures, audio, video, graphic art).

4. Project Delays & Client Liability.

Any time frames or estimates we provide are contingent upon the full cooperation of our clients. As such, one point of contact must be specified for your project and that contact should be available on a daily basis during the life of the project. Should we fail to reach that contact at his/her phone number, email address, and/or other provided means of communication, and he/she fail to reply to us on the same business day, then we reserve the right to extend our deadline(s) for your project(s).

Neither party will be responsible for failure or delay of performance if caused by: an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; act of God; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage that is not caused by the obligated party; government restrictions; or other event outside the reasonable control of the obligated party. Each party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event.

5. Approval of Work.

Upon completion of your project (“End Project”), we will notify you and provide for you a 7-day time period to review our work. Should you determine during that time period that any of our work is unsatisfactory, we must receive written notification within 7 days. Should we receive no notice from you during that 7-day period, we will deem your project to have been approved and invoice you for any remaining balance.

6. Rejected Work.

Should you find any of our work to be (1) unsatisfactory and (2) in express violation of our contract, then we will remedy the issue(s) within a reasonable time period. Should you fail to demonstrate that your dissatisfaction is grounded in an express violation of our contract, then we reserve the right to refuse your change request(s). Should your change request fall outside the bounds of our contract, then we are glad to consider the negotiation of a new contract with you to perform the requested changes. Should you elect to withhold payment after we deem your request outside the bounds of our contract, then we reserve the right to recover payment by means of legal action.

7. Refunds.

All work and services provided by SEO Skyrocket, Inc. are non-refundable.

8. Indemnification.

You will indemnify, defend and hold us harmless, at your expense, against any third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding (each, an “Action”) brought against us (and our officers, directors, employees, agents, service providers, licensors, and affiliates) by a third party not affiliated with us to the extent that such Action is based upon or arises out of (a) unauthorized, including copyright or trademark infringement, or illegal use of the Customer Materials by you; (b) your noncompliance with or breach of this Agreement, (c) your use of Third-Party Products, or (d) the unauthorized use of the End Project by any other person using your User information.

We will: notify you in writing within thirty (30) days of our becoming aware of any such claim; give you sole control of the defense or settlement of such a claim; and provide you (at your expense) with any and all information and assistance reasonably requested by you to handle the defense or settlement of the claim. You shall not accept any settlement that (i) imposes an obligation on us; (ii) requires us to make an admission; or (iii) imposes liability not covered by these indemnifications or places restrictions on us without our prior written consent.
