Terms of Service

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Digital Broker Marketing ("Digital Broker Marketing," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the website at digitalbmarketing.com, including all pages, content, forms, and tools on it (together, the "Site").

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Site. If you are using the Site on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business, and "you" includes the business.

2. About Us and Definitions

Digital Broker Marketing is a digital marketing and business growth infrastructure company based in Laguna Niguel, California, serving established businesses across Southern California. In these Terms:

• "Services" means our professional offerings described on the Site — including Google Ads management, SEO, website development, AI search optimization (GEO), CRM and automation, and tracking and reporting.
• "Audit" means the Free In-Person Growth Infrastructure Audit described on the Site.
• "Content" means all text, graphics, designs, page layouts, case studies, logos, and other material on the Site.

3. What the Site Is For

The Site describes our Services, shares case studies and educational content, and lets you request an Audit or contact us. The Site is informational. Nothing on it constitutes legal, financial, accounting, or other professional advice, and nothing on it creates a client relationship by itself.

4. Eligibility

The Site is intended for use by businesses and by individuals who are at least 18 years old. By using the Site, you confirm you meet these requirements.

5. The Free In-Person Growth Infrastructure Audit

The Audit is a genuine, no-cost review of a business's digital growth system — typically covering the website, Google presence, advertising, SEO, AI search visibility, tracking, CRM, reporting, and follow-up process. About the Audit:

• Requesting or receiving an Audit creates no obligation on your part and no client relationship with us.
• The Audit and any resulting recommendations are provided for your information. You are free to implement them yourself, hire us, hire someone else, or do nothing.
• Audit availability depends on scheduling and location; we serve Southern California and confirm each visit individually.
• We may decline or reschedule an Audit request at our discretion — for example if a business is outside our service area or not a realistic fit.
• Audit findings reflect our professional assessment at the time of review, based on what is visible and what you share with us. They are recommendations, not guarantees.

6. Service Engagements Are Governed by Separate Agreements

If your business engages us for Services, that engagement will be governed by a separate written agreement covering scope, deliverables, fees, timelines, confidentiality, and termination. That written agreement — not these Terms — controls the engagement. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed service agreement, the service agreement wins for matters within its scope.

7. Partner Program

Our Partner Program allows qualified professionals to earn recurring commission for introducing businesses that become clients. Regarding the program:

• Program details on the Site — including commission percentages and example earnings — are illustrations of the program's structure, not an offer that can be accepted by conduct.
• Participation requires our approval and a written partner agreement, confirmed before any introduction or client work begins. The written agreement controls all partner terms.
• Example calculations on the Site (including the commission calculator) assume hypothetical client retainers and durations; actual partner revenue depends on real clients, real retainers, and how long clients remain active.
• The Partner Program is a professional referral arrangement — it is not employment, a franchise, a security, or a passive income scheme.

8. Case Studies, Metrics, and Representative Examples

The Site includes case studies and performance figures. Please read this carefully:

• Some case studies describe real client work. Others are clearly labeled as representative examples — illustrations of typical engagement structure with identifying details changed. Labeled examples are not real client results and should not be read as such.
• All marketing results — ours and anyone's — depend on factors outside an agency's control: your market, competition, pricing, capacity, sales process, seasonality, platform changes, and economic conditions.
• Past performance, real or representative, is not a promise of future results. A business in the same industry with the same budget can get different outcomes.

9. No Guarantees of Rankings, AI Placement, Leads, or Revenue

We do not guarantee — and you should not interpret anything on the Site as guaranteeing — specific search rankings, placement or citation in AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews), lead volume, appointment volume, conversion rates, or revenue. Search engines and AI platforms control their own results. What we stand behind is the quality of the work: honest audits, properly built infrastructure, and measurement that shows you what your investment is actually producing.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not:

• Use the Site in violation of any applicable law or regulation
• Attempt to probe, scan, or breach the Site's security, or interfere with its operation
• Introduce malware, automated scraping at abusive volumes, or denial-of-service traffic
• Submit forms with false identity information or on behalf of someone who hasn't authorized it
• Use our forms or email addresses to send spam, solicitations, or content unrelated to a genuine business inquiry
• Copy, frame, or mirror the Site or substantial portions of its Content without written permission
• Misrepresent an affiliation with Digital Broker Marketing

We may restrict or block access to the Site for conduct that violates these Terms.

11. Intellectual Property

The Site and all Content are owned by Digital Broker Marketing or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to view the Site and its Content for evaluating our Services and for other lawful, non-commercial purposes. This license does not permit republishing, redistributing, or commercial use of the Content without our prior written consent. You may always link to the Site.

If you send us feedback or suggestions about the Site or our Services, you grant us the right to use that feedback without restriction or compensation — we appreciate it, and this clause just lets us act on it.

12. Trademarks

"Digital Broker Marketing," our logo, and the look and feel of the Site are our trademarks and trade dress. Third-party names and logos on the Site — including Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and client or platform names — belong to their respective owners; their appearance does not imply endorsement of us by them, or of them by us.

13. Third-Party Websites, Tools, and Platforms

The Site references and links to third-party websites and services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy, terms, or privacy practices. Linking does not mean we endorse them. Your use of any third-party service is at your own risk and subject to that service's terms.

14. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information through the Site is described in our Privacy Policy. Short version: we collect what you give us and standard analytics, we use it to respond and serve you, and we never sell it.

15. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED — INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT CONTENT IS CURRENT OR COMPLETE AT ALL TIMES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DIGITAL BROKER MARKETING AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, EVEN IF WE'VE BEEN ADVISED SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

This limitation applies to the free, informational Site. Liability arising from a paid service engagement is addressed in the applicable written service agreement. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud or willful misconduct.

17. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Digital Broker Marketing from and against claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or third-party right in connection with the Site.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising from them or the Site are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Orange County, California, and waive any objection to that venue.

19. Dispute Resolution — Talk to Us First

Before filing any formal claim, you agree to contact us at hello@digitalbmarketing.com with a description of the issue and give us 30 days to work toward an informal resolution. Most problems are misunderstandings, and we fix those fast. This informal step doesn't waive either party's rights if resolution fails.

20. General Provisions

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site, superseding prior understandings about the Site. (Signed service and partner agreements govern their own subject matter.)
• Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remain in full effect, and the unenforceable provision is modified to the minimum extent needed.
• No waiver. Our not enforcing a provision isn't a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Headings are for convenience and don't affect interpretation.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms take effect when posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. For material changes, we'll make the update reasonably visible. Continuing to use the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
