Plain-language summary: By using our website or engaging our services, you agree to these terms. We provide digital marketing and web development services on a month-to-month basis (no lock-in). Fees are due as agreed. Ad spend is paid directly to platforms — we never hold your ad budget. Either party may terminate with 30 days' notice. We own the methodologies; you own the final deliverables once paid in full.
By accessing or using the website at advergenie.com (the "Site"), requesting a proposal, entering into a service agreement, or engaging AdverGenie in any capacity, you ("Client", "you", "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"), together with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our Site or services.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and AdverGenie. We recommend you read them in full and retain a copy for your records.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use our website or engage our services. Continued use of our Site or services after any update to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

The specific scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees for each engagement are set out in a written proposal or Statement of Work ("SOW") provided to and accepted by the Client before work commences. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a specific SOW, the SOW shall take precedence for that engagement.
4.1 Proposals
All proposals submitted by AdverGenie are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. A proposal does not constitute a binding contract until accepted in writing by the Client (via email confirmation or signed agreement) and any required deposit or advance payment has been received.
4.2 Commencement of Services
Work commences upon: (a) written acceptance of the proposal by the Client; and (b) receipt of any applicable advance payment or deposit as specified in the proposal. AdverGenie shall not be obliged to begin any work until both conditions are satisfied.
4.3 Changes to Scope
Any request for changes to the agreed scope of work must be submitted in writing. AdverGenie will assess the impact on timeline and cost and provide a revised quote. Additional scope will be charged accordingly and will not be undertaken until approved in writing by both parties. Verbal instructions do not constitute a binding change request.
4.4 Client Approvals
Where work requires Client review and approval (e.g., website designs, ad creatives, landing page copy), the Client agrees to provide feedback or approval within a reasonable timeframe — typically 3–5 business days. Delays in Client approvals may result in corresponding delays to the agreed project timeline, for which AdverGenie shall not be liable.
5.1 Fees
All fees are as stated in the agreed proposal or SOW. All amounts are in Indian Rupees (INR) unless otherwise specified. Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes (including GST at the prevailing rate), which will be added to invoices as required by law.
5.2 Invoicing
For monthly retainer services, invoices are issued on or around the 1st of each month for that month's services. For project-based work, invoices are issued as per the payment milestones specified in the SOW (typically 50% advance, 50% on completion or as agreed). AdverGenie reserves the right to withhold final deliverables until all invoices are paid in full.
5.3 Payment Terms
All invoices are due and payable within 7 days of the invoice date, unless otherwise specified in the SOW. Accepted payment methods include bank transfer (NEFT/RTGS/IMPS), UPI, and cheque (at AdverGenie' discretion).
5.4 Late Payment
Invoices not paid within 7 days of the due date will attract a late payment charge of 2% per month (or part thereof) on the outstanding balance, compounded monthly. AdverGenie reserves the right to suspend services (without liability) if any invoice remains unpaid for more than 14 days after the due date. Services will be resumed only upon receipt of all outstanding amounts including any applicable late fees.
5.5 Price Changes
AdverGenie may revise its service fees with a minimum of 30 days' written notice to the Client. Continued use of services after the revised fees take effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing. If the Client does not accept the revised pricing, they may terminate the agreement in accordance with Section 7 (Cancellation & Termination).
GST: AdverGenie is GST registered. All invoices will include applicable GST as per current Indian tax law. Our GSTIN is available on request for input tax credit purposes.
For services involving paid advertising (Google Ads, Meta Ads, YouTube Ads, and any other paid media platforms), the following terms apply:
6.1 Ad Spend is Separate from Management Fees
The advertising spend ("Ad Spend") — the money paid directly to Google, Meta, or other advertising platforms — is entirely separate from and in addition to AdverGenie' management fee. The management fee covers our strategic, operational, and reporting work; Ad Spend is the actual media budget that goes to the platforms.
6.2 Direct Payment to Platforms
AdverGenie operates on a direct-to-platform billing model. This means:
- The Client's credit card, debit card, or bank account is directly billed by Google, Meta, or other platforms for Ad Spend
- AdverGenie does not hold, collect, or manage Client Ad Spend funds
- AdverGenie does not mark up or add a commission to Ad Spend
- The Client has direct, real-time visibility into all spending via their own platform accounts
6.3 Ad Spend Recommendations
AdverGenie will recommend minimum Ad Spend levels based on campaign goals and industry benchmarks. However, the final Ad Spend decision rests entirely with the Client. AdverGenie shall not be responsible for underperformance resulting from Ad Spend levels lower than recommended minimums.
6.4 Platform Account Ownership
All advertising accounts (Google Ads, Meta Business Manager, etc.) are created in the Client's name and owned by the Client. AdverGenie will be granted Manager/Agency access to operate the accounts on the Client's behalf. Upon termination of services, AdverGenie' access will be removed and the Client retains full ownership of all accounts, historical data, and accumulated campaign history.
Your money is always yours: We never hold your ad budget. Your cards are billed directly by Google and Meta. You can see every rupee spent in your own platform accounts at any time.
7.1 Month-to-Month Services
All ongoing monthly retainer services are provided on a month-to-month basis with no minimum contract term, unless specifically agreed otherwise in the SOW. Either party may terminate monthly services by providing written notice of at least 30 days. Notice must be provided via email to the other party's designated contact address.
7.2 Project-Based Services
For one-time project engagements (web development, landing pages, etc.), the Client may cancel the project at any time. However:
- Any advance payment already made is non-refundable
- If the project is more than 50% complete at the time of cancellation, the full project fee is payable
- AdverGenie will invoice for all work completed to the date of cancellation notice, calculated on a pro-rata basis against the total project fee
7.3 Termination by AdverGenie
AdverGenie reserves the right to terminate any service agreement immediately, without notice or liability, in the following circumstances:
- Non-payment of invoices after 14 days past the due date
- Client breach of these Terms or any agreed SOW
- Client requests for services that are illegal, unethical, or violate Google, Meta, or other platform policies
- Client behaviour that is abusive, threatening, or hostile toward AdverGenie team members
7.4 Effects of Termination
Upon termination:
- All outstanding invoices for work completed become immediately due and payable
- AdverGenie will provide a handover of all relevant assets, credentials, and documentation within 14 business days
- Client retains ownership of all paid-for deliverables and platform account data
- Confidentiality obligations survive termination (see Section 11)
7.5 No Refunds on Monthly Services
Monthly management fees are not refundable once the calendar month has commenced, as the work for that month has begun. Refunds are not provided for unused portions of a month's service.
8.1 Deliverables Ownership
Upon receipt of full payment for a project, AdverGenie assigns to the Client all rights, title, and interest in the final deliverables created specifically for that Client under the relevant SOW — including website code, design files, written content, and graphics. This assignment takes effect only upon full payment.
8.2 AdverGenie' Pre-existing IP
Notwithstanding the above, AdverGenie retains all rights to:
- Pre-existing tools, frameworks, methodologies, processes, and know-how used in delivering the Services
- Generic templates, code libraries, and design systems used across multiple client projects
- Campaign strategies, optimisation frameworks, and reporting templates
- Any third-party software, fonts, images, or other licensed materials incorporated into deliverables (which are licensed to the Client under the applicable third-party terms)
8.3 Client Content & Data
The Client retains all rights to content, data, logos, branding, and materials provided to AdverGenie for use in delivering the Services. By providing such materials, the Client grants AdverGenie a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use them solely for the purpose of providing the Services.
8.4 Portfolio & Case Study Rights
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, AdverGenie reserves the right to feature completed work in its portfolio, case studies, website, social media, and marketing materials. This includes screenshots of websites, ad creative samples, and performance metrics (which may be anonymised). The Client may request exclusion from our portfolio by written notice at any time.
8.5 Third-Party Platforms
All advertising accounts, data, and creative assets on third-party platforms (Google Ads, Meta, etc.) are owned by the Client. AdverGenie operates these accounts as an authorised agent of the Client and has no independent ownership rights over them.
9.1 No Guaranteed Results
AdverGenie does not guarantee specific results, rankings, traffic volumes, lead counts, conversion rates, revenue outcomes, or return on investment from any digital marketing service. The performance of digital marketing campaigns is influenced by factors outside our control, including but not limited to:
- Changes to Google, Meta, and other platform algorithms and policies
- Market conditions and competitive landscape changes
- Seasonal demand fluctuations in the Client's industry
- Quality of the Client's product, service, pricing, and customer experience
- Client website performance, speed, and conversion rate
- Ad Spend levels relative to recommended minimums
- Timely provision of content, approvals, and instructions by the Client
9.2 Performance Targets
Where performance targets or projections are included in a proposal, these are estimates based on available industry data, historical benchmarks, and our professional experience. They are not guarantees. Actual performance may be higher or lower than projected.
9.3 Industry Benchmarks
Case studies, testimonials, and results mentioned on our website reflect actual results achieved for specific clients in specific circumstances. These results are not representative of what every client will achieve and should not be interpreted as typical or guaranteed outcomes.
Any agency that guarantees specific search rankings, traffic numbers, or revenue outcomes from digital marketing is making representations that cannot be substantiated. Our commitment is to apply best-in-class expertise, effort, and strategy — results depend on many factors beyond our control.
10.1 Exclusion of Consequential Losses
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AdverGenie shall not be liable to the Client for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of data, or loss of opportunity, arising out of or in connection with the provision or failure to provide the Services — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
10.2 Cap on Liability
In all cases, AdverGenie' total aggregate liability to the Client — whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise — shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client to AdverGenie in the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
10.3 Third-Party Platform Changes
AdverGenie shall not be liable for any impact on campaign performance, rankings, or results arising from changes to third-party platforms (including Google, Meta, or other advertising networks), algorithm updates, policy changes, or platform outages. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to adapt to such changes promptly.
10.4 Client-Provided Content
AdverGenie shall not be liable for any claim, loss, or liability arising from the use of content, materials, data, or instructions provided by the Client, including claims of intellectual property infringement, defamation, or regulatory non-compliance.
10.5 Force Majeure
AdverGenie shall not be in breach of these Terms or liable for delay or failure to perform any obligation if such delay or failure results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, pandemic, government action, internet or platform outages, or other force majeure events.
11.1 Mutual Confidentiality
Both parties may, in the course of the engagement, disclose confidential information to the other party ("Confidential Information"). Each party agrees to:
- Hold the other party's Confidential Information in strict confidence
- Not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without prior written consent
- Use Confidential Information only for the purposes of the engagement
- Apply at least the same degree of care to protecting the other party's Confidential Information as it applies to its own
11.2 What Constitutes Confidential Information
Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: campaign data, performance metrics, business strategy, pricing, client lists, technical specifications, ad account data, and any information marked as confidential or that a reasonable person would recognise as confidential given the context of disclosure.
11.3 Exceptions
The confidentiality obligations in this section do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was already known to the receiving party without restriction; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law or court order.
11.4 Survival
Confidentiality obligations survive termination of the engagement for a period of three years.
To enable AdverGenie to deliver the Services effectively, the Client agrees to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and timely information, content, and materials as reasonably required by AdverGenie
- Grant AdverGenie necessary access to relevant accounts, platforms, and systems (e.g., Google Ads, Google Analytics, Meta Business Manager, website CMS, hosting)
- Ensure that all content, materials, and instructions provided to AdverGenie are legally compliant, accurate, and do not infringe any third-party rights
- Review and respond to proposals, designs, copies, and other deliverables within agreed review windows

- Promptly notify AdverGenie of any significant changes to the business, products, services, pricing, or competitive environment that may affect the Services
- Designate a primary point of contact with authority to give instructions and approvals on behalf of the Client
AdverGenie shall not be liable for any reduction in performance or failure to meet targets resulting from the Client's failure to fulfil the above responsibilities.
