1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Blue Shore Marketing LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Blue Shore," "we," "us," or "our"). They apply when you visit blueshoremarketing.com, contact us through the site, book a call, or engage us for services.
By using the site or engaging our services, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site or engage us. If you are accepting on behalf of a company, you confirm that you have authority to bind that company.
2. Our services
Blue Shore provides digital marketing services, which may include website design and development, search engine optimization, paid advertising management, CRM implementation and automation, review management, analytics and reporting, and related consulting.
The free audit we offer before an engagement is provided as a courtesy and reflects our professional opinion at that time. It does not create an ongoing obligation for either of us, and you are free to act on it however you choose.
3. Proposals, scope, and changes
Work is performed under a written proposal, statement of work, or service agreement that describes the deliverables, timeline, and fees. Where that document conflicts with these Terms, that document controls for the engagement it covers.
Requests outside the agreed scope are quoted separately and require written approval before we begin. Timelines assume you supply required materials, approvals, and platform access on schedule, and adjust if you do not.
4. Fees and payment
Fees, payment schedule, and any deposit are stated in your proposal. Project work is typically quoted as a fixed scope. Ongoing work is billed as a flat monthly fee.
- Invoices are due on the terms stated in your agreement. Late amounts may accrue interest at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowed by Florida law.
- Advertising spend is separate from our fees and is paid by you directly to the platform unless your agreement says otherwise.
- Third-party costs such as software licenses, subscriptions, hosting, domains, and stock media are passed through at cost or billed to you directly.
- If an invoice is materially overdue, we may pause work after written notice. Fees already earned remain payable.
Unless your agreement provides otherwise, fees for work already performed are non-refundable.
5. Your responsibilities
To do our job we need timely cooperation from you. You agree to provide accurate information, reasonable access to the accounts and platforms involved, and prompt review of work submitted for approval.
You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of any content, claims, offers, pricing, testimonials, or customer data you provide, and for holding the rights necessary for us to use it. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to your business and your communications with customers, including advertising, email, SMS, and consumer protection rules.
6. Third-party platforms
Our work depends on platforms we do not control, including advertising networks, search engines, hosting providers, CRM and automation tools, payment processors, and analytics services. Their availability, pricing, policies, algorithms, and approval decisions can change without notice. We are not responsible for a third party suspending an account, rejecting an ad, changing rankings, altering an API, or losing data. You are bound by those providers' own terms of service.
7. Ownership and licenses
You keep ownership of everything you give us: your brand, content, data, and accounts. On full payment for an engagement, you own the final deliverables produced specifically for you under that engagement.
We keep ownership of our pre-existing and general materials, including our processes, templates, frameworks, internal tooling, code libraries, and know-how. We grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use those materials to the extent they are embedded in your deliverables.
Unless you tell us otherwise in writing, we may reference your business name, logo, and non-confidential work in our portfolio and marketing.
8. Confidentiality
Each of us may receive non-public information from the other. Both sides agree to use that information only to perform under the engagement and to protect it with at least reasonable care. This does not cover information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law.
9. Term and termination
Ongoing engagements continue until either side terminates with the written notice period stated in the agreement. If none is stated, thirty days' written notice applies. Either side may terminate immediately for a material breach that is not cured within fifteen days of written notice.
On termination you pay for work performed and costs committed through the effective date. We will hand over deliverables paid for in full and cooperate reasonably in transferring accounts. Accounts and logins created for you are in your name, so you keep them.
10. Disclaimers
We perform our services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Beyond that, the site and the services are provided "as is" and "as available," and we disclaim all other warranties to the fullest extent permitted by law, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not guarantee specific results. Marketing outcomes such as rankings, traffic, leads, conversions, revenue, or return on ad spend depend on factors outside our control, including your market, offer, pricing, sales process, competitors, and platform behavior. Nothing on this site or in our proposals is a promise of a particular result.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the services or these Terms will not exceed the fees you paid us in the three months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply to a party's fraud, willful misconduct, or liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Blue Shore Marketing LLC and its members, employees, and contractors from claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising from content or data you provide, your products and services, your use of the deliverables, or your breach of these Terms or of applicable law.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Before filing anything, both sides agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute by talking about it, starting with written notice of the issue and at least thirty days to work it out.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always posted here with its effective date. Material changes apply going forward, not retroactively, and your existing signed agreement continues to control the engagement it covers. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the updated Terms.
15. General
We are an independent contractor, not your employee, partner, or agent. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. Neither side is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent.
