Marketing Services Agreement
This Marketing Services Agreement (the "Agreement") is dated as of ____________ (the "Effective Date"), by and between __________________________ (the "Service Provider") and __________________________ (the "Client") (collectively, the "Parties"). The Parties agree as follows:
This is a general-purpose US-focused marketing services template based on the brief provided. It is not legal advice. Local requirements and specific business needs may require changes.
1. SERVICES:
1.1 Scope of Services. Service Provider will perform marketing strategy, campaign, and content services for Client (the "Services"). 1.2 Description of Services. The Services may include: (a) marketing strategy planning; (b) campaign planning and management; (c) content planning, creation, and revisions; and (d) related consulting and reporting, as agreed in writing by the Parties. 1.3 Service Schedule or Appendix. The Parties may describe detailed monthly deliverables, campaigns, and reporting cadence in one or more written schedules, statements of work, or appendices (each, a "Service Schedule"). If there is any conflict between this Agreement and a Service Schedule, this Agreement will control unless the Service Schedule clearly states that it will control for a specific item. 1.4 Changes to Services. Either Party may request changes to the Services. No change will be binding unless both Parties agree in writing, including any impact on fees, timelines, or deliverables. 1.5 Standard of Performance. Service Provider will perform the Services using reasonable care and skill, in a professional manner consistent with generally accepted marketing industry practices. 1.6 Client Responsibilities. Client will provide timely access to information, branding assets, approvals, and tools or platforms that Service Provider reasonably needs to perform the Services. Delays in Client’s responses may delay delivery dates.
2. FEES & PAYMENT:
2.1 Fees. Client will pay Service Provider a flat fee of $1,500 (one thousand five hundred US dollars) per month for the Services, unless the Parties agree otherwise in a signed writing. 2.2 Billing and Payment Timing. Service Provider will bill the monthly fee on the 1st day of each month, in advance of Services for that month. Client must pay each invoice within ten (10) calendar days of the invoice date, unless the invoice states a different due date agreed by the Parties. 2.3 Payment Method. Payments may be made by check, bank transfer, credit card, or other methods accepted by Service Provider. Service Provider may require electronic payment for recurring monthly fees. 2.4 Late Payments. If Client does not pay any undisputed amount by the due date, Service Provider may: (a) charge a late fee of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed on the overdue amount; and/or (b) suspend or delay Services until Client pays all overdue amounts. Service Provider will give Client at least five (5) calendar days’ written notice before suspending Services for non-payment. 2.5 Disputed Amounts. If Client disputes any portion of an invoice in good faith, Client must notify Service Provider in writing within ten (10) calendar days of the invoice date, describe the disputed amount, and pay the undisputed portion when due. The Parties will work together in good faith to resolve the dispute. 2.6 Expenses. Unless stated in a Service Schedule, the monthly fee does not include third-party costs such as ad spend, media buys, software subscriptions, stock media, or printing. Client will either (a) pay such third-party costs directly; or (b) reimburse Service Provider for approved costs within ten (10) calendar days after receiving documentation.
3. SCHEDULE & CANCELLATIONS:
3.1 Service Period and Cadence. The Parties expect the Services to be ongoing on a monthly basis. Specific milestones, content calendars, and reporting dates may be described in a Service Schedule or monthly plan agreed by the Parties. 3.2 Meetings and Reviews. The Parties will schedule regular check-in meetings and reporting reviews (for example, monthly or as stated in a Service Schedule). Either Party may request to reschedule a meeting with reasonable notice. 3.3 Client Cancellations or Rescheduling of Meetings. Client may cancel or reschedule a scheduled strategy, review, or content meeting without charge if Client gives at least forty-eight (48) hours’ notice by email or other written method accepted by Service Provider. If Client cancels or reschedules a meeting with less than forty-eight (48) hours’ notice, Service Provider may charge a late rescheduling fee equal to a reasonable percentage of the estimated time cost for that meeting, not to exceed the value of that meeting under the monthly plan. 3.4 Service Suspension by Service Provider. Service Provider may reschedule meetings or temporarily pause non-critical work for staffing or operational reasons, but will give Client reasonable advance notice and use reasonable efforts to avoid negative impact on active campaigns. 3.5 Campaign Changes and Approvals. Client will review and approve drafts, content, and campaign plans in a timely manner. If Client does not provide approvals or feedback within the timeframes set out in a Service Schedule or within a reasonable period, delivery dates may shift, but the monthly fee will still be due.
4. ACCESS, KEYS & SAFETY:
4.1 Access to Systems and Accounts. Client will provide Service Provider with the access, permissions, and credentials reasonably needed to perform the Services, such as access to advertising platforms, analytics tools, content management systems, and brand assets. 4.2 Security Practices. Service Provider will use reasonable care to protect Client’s confidential access credentials and will not share them outside its staff, contractors, or agents who need access to perform the Services. 4.3 Client Policies. If Client has written security, brand, or communication policies and provides them to Service Provider, Service Provider will use reasonable efforts to follow those policies while performing the Services. 4.4 No On-Site Requirements. Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, the Services will be performed remotely and will not require on-site work at Client’s premises.
5. PETS & SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
5.1 No Pets On-Site. The Parties do not expect pets or animals to be involved in the performance of the Services because the Services are primarily marketing and remote in nature. 5.2 Special Conditions. If the Parties later agree that Services will be performed on-site at a location with special conditions (such as restricted areas, access rules, or safety requirements), they will describe those conditions in writing and follow any agreed procedures.
6. EXCLUSIONS:
6.1 Services Not Included. Unless specifically stated in a Service Schedule, the Services do not include: (a) legal, tax, or regulatory advice; (b) guarantees of specific results such as sales volume, revenue, or customer numbers; (c) software development or website coding beyond minor content edits; or (d) public relations crisis management. 6.2 Third-Party Platforms and Results. Client understands that performance of campaigns depends on many factors that Service Provider does not control, such as changes by advertising platforms, algorithms, competitors, and market conditions. Service Provider does not promise any minimum return on ad spend or similar metrics unless expressly stated in a Service Schedule. 6.3 Out-of-Scope Work. If Client requests work that is outside the scope of the Services or Service Schedule, Service Provider may offer to perform such work under a separate written agreement or a change order with additional fees.
8. LIABILITY & DAMAGE:
8.1 Limitation of Liability. To the maximum extent allowed, each Party’s total liability to the other for all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement will be limited to one thousand US dollars (USD $1,000) in the aggregate. 8.2 Exclusion of Certain Damages. Neither Party will be responsible to the other for any lost profits, loss of business, loss of data, or any indirect, special, or consequential damages that arise from this Agreement or the Services, even if advised that such damages were possible. 8.3 Exceptions. The limits in this Section 8 will not apply to: (a) a Party’s obligation to pay fees or approved expenses under this Agreement; (b) a Party’s intentional misconduct; or (c) a Party’s breach of confidentiality obligations. 8.4 Third-Party Services and Platforms. Service Provider is not responsible for acts or failures of third-party service providers, platforms, or vendors, including advertising networks, social media platforms, email providers, or hosting services, except to the extent caused by Service Provider’s failure to follow Client’s clear written instructions.
7. TERM & TERMINATION:
7.1 Term. This Agreement will start on the Effective Date and will continue on a month-to-month basis until ended under this Section 7. 7.2 Termination for Convenience. Either Party may terminate this Agreement for any reason by giving the other Party at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice. Services and billing will continue through the end of the then-current monthly period, unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. 7.3 Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate this Agreement if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and does not fix the breach within fifteen (15) calendar days after receiving written notice describing the breach. 7.4 Effect of Termination. Upon termination: (a) Client will pay Service Provider all fees earned and approved expenses incurred through the effective date of termination; (b) Service Provider will deliver any work-in-progress and reasonable documentation prepared up to the effective date, to the extent paid for by Client; and (c) each Party will return or destroy the other Party’s confidential information upon request, subject to reasonable backup and record-keeping practices. 7.5 Surviving Provisions. Any clauses that by their nature should continue after termination, including payment obligations, confidentiality, intellectual property ownership or license terms, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution, will continue to apply.

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS:
10.1 Independent Contractor. Service Provider is an independent contractor and not an employee, partner, or agent of Client. Service Provider is responsible for its own taxes, benefits, and insurance. 10.2 Intellectual Property and Licenses. Unless a Service Schedule states otherwise, and subject to full payment of all fees due, Client will own the final marketing content and deliverables that Service Provider creates specifically for Client under this Agreement, excluding any Service Provider pre-existing materials, tools, or templates. Service Provider grants Client a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display such pre-existing materials only as part of or together with the deliverables. 10.3 Confidentiality. Each Party will keep the other Party’s non-public business, marketing, and technical information confidential and will use it only to perform or receive the Services. This obligation does not apply to information that is or becomes public without breach, is received from another source without duty of confidentiality, or is independently developed. 10.4 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent, except that either Party may assign this Agreement to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets. 10.5 Notices. Formal notices under this Agreement must be in writing and sent by email with confirmation, certified mail, or a recognized courier to the contact information the Parties provide below, or to updated contact information given in writing. 10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any Service Schedules, is the entire agreement between the Parties about the Services and replaces all prior proposals, understandings, or communications about the same subject. 10.7 Amendments. Any change to this Agreement or a Service Schedule must be in a written document signed or otherwise clearly agreed to by both Parties. 10.8 No Waiver. If a Party delays or does not enforce a right under this Agreement, that does not mean the Party waives that right. 10.9 Severability. If any part of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the Agreement will remain in effect, and the Parties will replace the invalid part with a valid term that best matches the original intent. 10.10 Counterparts and Electronic Signatures.
