Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of sterlingmediahouse.com and any information or services provided through it by Sterling Media House ("Sterling," "we," "us," or "our"). By using this site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Our Services
Sterling provides marketing services including website development, advertising, lead generation, reputation management, and related automation. This site describes our services in general terms; it is not an offer or a contract.
Client Engagements
Any paid engagement is governed by a separate written agreement between you and Sterling, which controls in the event of any conflict with these Terms. Nothing on this website creates a binding service commitment until such an agreement is signed.
Exclusive Territory
Where offered, market exclusivity is defined and limited by the terms of your individual service agreement, including the geographic scope, duration, and conditions described there.
Fees and Payment
Fees, billing, and payment terms for any services are set out in your service agreement. Where applicable, third-party costs (such as advertising spend paid to platforms) are separate from our fees and are passed through to or paid directly by the client.
No Guarantee of Specific Results
Marketing outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including your market, pricing, responsiveness, and how you handle the leads we generate. Any figures, timelines, or examples on this site describe our process and commitments, not guaranteed results. We do not warrant any specific level of leads, sales, rankings, or revenue.
[Confirm this disclaimer with counsel, especially alongside any performance figures shown on the site, to ensure consistency and adequate protection.]
Client Responsibilities
To deliver our services, we may need timely access to accounts, information, and approvals. Delays or inaccurate information you provide may affect timelines and outcomes.
Intellectual Property
All content on this site — including text, design, graphics, and logos — is owned by Sterling or its licensors and may not be copied or reused without permission. Ownership of deliverables produced under a client engagement is governed by your service agreement.
Third-Party Services
Our services may rely on third-party platforms (such as search, advertising, hosting, and communication providers). We are not responsible for the availability, performance, or policies of those third parties.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sterling will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site. Our total liability relating to the site is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, for access to it.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Sterling harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of this site or violation of these Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
