Terms & Conditions
Last updated:
1. Agreement to these terms
These terms apply to your use of ascendingmarketing.com (the “site”), operated by Ascending Marketing (“we,” “us”) in Pennsylvania, USA. By using the site or sending an inquiry, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.
2. Inquiries are not orders
Sending an inquiry, booking a call or requesting a website review is free and doesn’t commit you to anything. It doesn’t create an order, a charge, a subscription or a hosting enrollment, and it doesn’t commit us to taking on a project.
3. Quotes and service agreements
Website design, advertising management, automated follow-up and our other services are quoted individually based on scope and availability. Work begins only after you accept a written proposal or service agreement that sets out the deliverables, timing, revisions, fees and payment schedule. Descriptions and prices on the site are general information, not an offer that can be accepted as a contract. Prices may change, but a change won’t affect a proposal you have already accepted.
4. Optional managed hosting
Optional managed hosting is $99 per month and includes up to 30 minutes total per monthly billing period of minor updates, such as text changes or swapping photos. Unused time doesn’t roll over. New pages, redesigns, new features and work beyond that time are quoted separately and done only with your approval. Hosting depends on platform compatibility, and migrating an existing site is assessed separately. You can also host the site yourself.
You keep ownership of your domain name and the content you provide. Domain registration and renewals, and any third-party subscriptions (such as booking or e-commerce tools), are separate and paid by you unless your agreement says otherwise. Billing, cancellation notice, backups and transfer of your site if you leave are set out in your hosting agreement.
5. Advertising
Our management fee is separate from ad spend, which you pay directly to the advertising platform (such as Meta or Google). You keep ownership of your ad accounts and give us only the access needed for the agreed work. We won’t launch campaigns or change budgets without your approval. Ads are subject to each platform’s policies, which the platform may enforce or change at any time, including by rejecting ads or restricting accounts.
6. No guaranteed results
We work hard to improve how many people find and contact you, but marketing results depend on many things outside our control, including your market, competition, offer, budget and the platforms themselves. We don’t guarantee any specific number of leads, sales, rankings, reviews or return on investment. Any examples or estimates we share are illustrations, not promises.
7. Complimentary website reviews
The free three-point review is a manual, best-effort look at a publicly accessible business website. It covers clarity, how easy it is to get in touch, and one practical improvement where the evidence supports it; if we don’t find an issue, we’ll say so. It’s general guidance, not legal, accessibility-compliance or security advice. There’s no guaranteed turnaround and no obligation to buy anything.
8. Referral deal
Our limited referral deal runs for our first 10 paying clients from November 11, 2026, and ends once we reach that number. When a business you refer to us becomes a paying client, you and the business you referred each get 10% off your website quote. Please mention the referral when you get in touch. Each person or business can receive the discount once.
The discount does not stack: a business that was referred keeps its own 10% but does not earn an additional discount for referring someone else. The discount is confirmed in writing in your proposal or service agreement (see section 3). We may change or end the deal for future clients, but a change won’t affect a discount already confirmed in writing.
9. Your responsibilities
When using the site, please provide accurate information and send only material you have the right to share. Don’t impersonate anyone, send unlawful, abusive or misleading content, submit spam, upload malicious code, scrape the site at a harmful rate, or try to access parts of the site or our systems that aren’t meant for the public. Don’t send passwords, payment details or sensitive personal information through the inquiry form.
If we work together, you’re responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the claims, offers, licenses and materials you ask us to publish or advertise. Businesses in regulated fields (such as healthcare, finance, legal or real estate) must tell us about rules that apply to their marketing, and work involving regulated data, such as patient health information, requires a separate written agreement before it begins.
10. Intellectual property
The site’s text, design, graphics, logos and code belong to Ascending Marketing or its licensors and are protected by law. You may view and share pages for personal or internal business purposes, but you may not copy, republish or reuse them without our permission, except as the law allows. You keep all rights to materials you send us; you allow us to review and use them only to respond to your inquiry and discuss the work you asked about. We won’t feature your business or materials in our portfolio or advertising without your separate permission. Ownership of work we create for clients is set out in the client agreement.
If you believe something on the site infringes your rights, email joey@ascendingmarketing.com with details and we’ll review it promptly.
11. Third-party services and links
The site may link to, or our services may use, third-party websites and tools (such as hosting, booking, advertising and AI platforms). They are run by others under their own terms and privacy policies. A link isn’t an endorsement, and we aren’t responsible for third-party content, availability or practices.
12. Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” for general information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties about the site, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we don’t promise the site will be uninterrupted, error-free or always up to date. Nothing on the site is legal, tax, financial or medical advice.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ascending Marketing won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue or data, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to $100. Liability for paid services is governed by your client agreement, not this section. Some laws don’t allow certain limits, so some of these may not apply to you; nothing here limits liability that can’t be limited by law.
13. Which document controls
If these website terms conflict with a signed proposal, service, hosting or advertising agreement, the signed agreement controls for those services. Changes to these website terms don’t change a signed agreement.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If a disagreement comes up, please email us first; we’ll try in good faith to resolve it informally within 30 days. If we can’t, either of us may bring a claim in the state or federal courts located in Pennsylvania, and both of us agree to their jurisdiction. This doesn’t take away any right you have that can’t be waived by agreement.
15. General
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a term isn’t a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms without our consent. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about use of the site.
16. Changes and contact
We may update these terms by posting a new version here with a revised “Last updated” date. Changes apply from that date and don’t apply retroactively. Questions about these terms? Email joey@ascendingmarketing.com.
