Frequently asked questions

What should a marketing services agreement include?
It should identify the parties, describe the marketing services and deliverables, set payment terms, define reporting obligations, allocate content ownership, protect confidential information, address compliance responsibilities, and explain termination rights.
Does this agreement guarantee marketing results?
Marketing agreements typically track performance metrics but do not guarantee specific sales, leads, rankings, or conversion results unless the parties expressly agree to measurable guarantees and related remedies.
Who owns the marketing content created under the agreement?
Ownership depends on the agreement terms. A common approach is for the client to own final approved deliverables after full payment, while the marketer retains rights in pre-existing tools, templates, concepts, and unused drafts.
Can the client terminate the agreement before the campaign ends?
Yes, if the agreement permits termination with written notice or for cause. The contract should also state what fees, expenses, transition assistance, and asset handover obligations apply after termination.
