These terms and conditions apply to any service purchased from the Company, whether via its website (www.mydigitalego.com) or through a statement of work signed directly between you and the Company (a “SOW”). If you agree to these terms and conditions on our website, you signify your agreement by ticking a box to accept when placing your order and, at that stage, a legally binding contract has been created between you and us. Whether accepting online or agreeing to as part of an SOW, you have created a “contract” with us. 

In the event of a discrepancy between these terms and conditions and a SOW, the SOW shall prevail. 

In the event of a discrepancy between these terms and conditions and our website, these terms and conditions shall prevail.

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time, and such updates will apply to you. So please check back regularly to ensure you have the most up to date version. 

About Us 

We are a digital marketing agency, making brands digitally discoverable, bringing them to life and telling their story, generating engagement, traffic and sales. We offer a variety of services, all of which are governed by these terms and conditions. 

Our Services 

The services we provide (the “Services”) are as follows: 

• Social media management – we work from the perspective of your brand and its tone of voice to research and create social media posts for you, which are posted across the main social media challenges, and then manage reactions from those posts accordingly. All social media posts are pre-approved by you via our client portal, to allow you to have complete control of the social media management process 
• Search engine optimisation (SEO) – we research your brand’s audience and behaviours, then use this to create content with purpose, in order to drive traffic to your website via search engines. All website content is pre-approved by you via our client portal, to allow you to have complete control of the SEO process 

• Web chat plug-in – we provide full-service software and agent support for 24/7 live webchat functionality on your website. We work with you to create a ‘frequently asked questions’ document, which contains answers pre-approved by you. We manage all questions submitted through the web chat through a defined ticketing process to ensure these are communicated and managed effectively 
• Web build and hosting – we offer a low-cost, full design and delivery web-build service with optional hosting and maintenance.  

We may change the content of the Services from time to time, and will update these terms and conditions accordingly. 

The contract comes into force on the date specified in the SOW, or the date you accept these terms and conditions on our website, and shall continue in relation to all Services provided to you, unless and until you provide us with 30 days’ written notice to terminate the contract. This does not apply to fixed term services, which shall automatically rollover for subsequent periods, and this will be specified in the SOW or on our website, as appropriate. 

Your Obligations 

You will use your best endeavours to provide all information needed by us, and as we may request from time to time, in order to provide the Services. 

Any delay in the provision of the Services that results from your failure or delay in providing that information will not be our fault or responsibility, and will not impact payment of fees by you to us. 

Website Hosting and Maintenance Services 

Where you enter into a contract for these services with us, this is a fixed term 12-month contract, from the date of signing of the SOW or acceptance of these terms and conditions on our website. Following this 12 month period, the contract will automatically rollover for additional 12-month periods, unless you provide us with one months’ written notice to end the contract. 

All fees for hosting are paid annually in advance, before the Services shall commence. This allows us to purchase the various elements required in order to provide hosting to you. 

We provide this Service to you via our hosting provider, namecheap. For this Service, we act as a reseller for their services. This means that namecheap’s terms and conditions regarding hosting will apply to your use of these Services. These can be found here: https://www.namecheap.com/legal/hosting/tos/ You agree to these terms and conditions by purchasing hosting services form us. 

We use our best endeavours to respond to your queries within 3 hours of you raising the issue. This applies during working hours (9am to 5pm) on business days in England. We are not liable to you if we do not meet this service level. 

We will do our best to resolve any issues between you and namecheap that may arise during the provision of the Services; however, if you have any legal issues with such Services, their terms and conditions will prevail. 

Fees and Payment 

We will provide you with the cost of the Services at the time of purchase, either on our website or in a SOW. At this time, you will also be notified as to whether payment is due in advance or in arrears, and how often payment is due. 

In the event that any payment becomes overdue by more than 14 days from the due date, we are permitted to charge interest at a rate of 5% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, from time to time, accruing daily. We may also suspend the Services until payment has been made. 

Liability, Indemnity and Insurance 

We will not be liable for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage suffered by you in relation to the Services and this contract.  

Nothing in these terms and conditions shall limit or exclude our liability for death or personal injury. 

Our total liability for any loss or damage caused as a result of its negligence or breach of this contract shall be limited to the value of the fees paid by you from the date the contract commences.  

We will not be liable for any delay in providing the Services to you. You understand and agree that the nature of the Services means that timescales cannot be guaranteed, and often relies on information being provided by you.  

As part of the Services, we work alongside third parties. We are not liable for any indirect, special or consequential loss as a result of any acts or omissions of such third parties. 

We are not liable for any content that is generated and posted on social media platforms or on your website. You are responsible for approving all content, and therefore retain responsibility for ensuring that it is in line with your brand and any regulatory obligations that may be imposed on your industry. 

We are not responsible for any answers provided via the web chat plug-in. We do our best to ensure that the answers we provide are correct and in line with your brand, which is why we have a ‘frequently asked questions’ document that we work on with you. However, we cannot guarantee that the answers we provide will be identical to those you would provide at all times. 

We provide the highest quality of Services to you, but we are not responsible for how your brand grows or develops, or the revenue or profit that derives from your use of the Services. You understand that this is outside our control, and subject to many factors other than digital marketing services. You are responsible for the growth and success of your own business. 

Confidentiality 

Each party undertakes that, except as authorised in writing by the other party, it shall, at all times during the continuance of the contract, and for 2 years after its termination, keep confidential all confidential information in relation to the other party. This includes, but is not limited to, the processes, procedures, methodologies, trade secrets, passwords and login details of the parties. 

The provisions of this clause shall continue in force in accordance with these terms, notwithstanding the termination of this contract for any reason. 

Force Majeure 

No party to this contract shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing their obligations where such failure or delay results from any cause that is beyond the reasonable control of that party.  Such causes include, but are not limited to: power failure, internet service provider failure, industrial action, civil unrest, fire, flood, storms, earthquakes, acts of terrorism, acts of war, governmental action or any other event that is beyond the control of the party in question. 

Termination 

You will have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving 30 days’ written notice to us, except where you have purchased a service for a fixed term (as detailed further above).
