Terms of service

Current version: 2026-08-13-v1

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using the Savage Strategic website or services, creating an account, requesting an audit, submitting an application, or accessing the Client Portal, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, you may not create an account, request an audit, submit an application, connect a source, or access the Client Portal.

2. Services

Savage Strategic provides data-driven marketing services for home services companies. Our services include digital advertising management, search engine optimization, analytics and reporting, and strategic consulting. Specific deliverables and terms are outlined in individual client agreements.

3. Eligibility

Our services are designed for home services companies generating over $1M per year in revenue. We reserve the right to decline service at our discretion based on our qualification criteria.

4. Scheduling & Cancellations

Qualification calls scheduled through our website are subject to availability. We appreciate at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Repeated no-shows may result in restricted booking access.

5. Intellectual Property

All content, branding, and materials on this website are the property of Savage Strategic and may not be reproduced, distributed, or used without prior written consent.

6. Business Materials and Marketing-Use License

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the business grants Savage Strategic, its affiliates, contractors, successors, and marketing partners a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, adapt, edit, combine, publish, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit Client Materials for Savage Strategic marketing, advertising, sales, portfolio, case-study, recruiting, educational, and promotional purposes in any media now known or later developed.

Client Materials include the business name, trade names, logos, branding, website, public-facing content, non-confidential business information, audits, findings, reports, deliverables, work product, strategies, project artifacts, screenshots, before-and-after materials, performance data, metrics, results, testimonials, reviews, statements, and any other materials, information, or outcomes created, supplied, observed, or documented in connection with the business relationship, an audit, a proposal, a service, or the Client Portal.

The license permits Savage Strategic to identify the business, describe the engagement, publish and promote audit findings, work, and results, prepare derivative materials and summaries, and use excerpts or full materials without further approval, review, notice, attribution, or compensation to the business or its representatives. A withdrawal, account closure, completed engagement, or termination does not revoke previously granted rights, except where non-waivable law requires otherwise.

The business represents that it owns or controls the Client Materials and has secured every permission, release, license, notice, and authority needed for this use. Unless a later written agreement signed by an authorized Savage Strategic representative expressly identifies particular material and expressly overrides this section, this marketing-use license controls over a conflicting informal instruction, portal note, request, or confidentiality marking.

7. Calls, Meetings, Recordings, and Third-Party Information

The marketing-use license covers business-side meeting and communication materials, including Zoom or other meeting recordings, video, audio, transcripts, screenshots, chat, and other engagement records, only when Savage Strategic has obtained every notice and consent required from the individuals whose communications or likenesses are involved. The business is responsible for informing its attendees and obtaining any authority it is required to obtain before inviting them to a recorded or documented engagement.

Nothing in these terms authorizes Savage Strategic to publish credentials, payment-card data, protected health information, or personal information of the business customers, leads, employees, or other third parties when that publication would violate applicable law, provider terms, or a non-waivable right. Those legal limits do not narrow the business license for all other Client Materials.

8. Limitation of Liability

Savage Strategic provides marketing services on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee specific results, rankings, or revenue outcomes. Our liability is limited to the fees paid for services rendered.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be resolved in the courts of Texas.

10. SMS & Text Message Notifications

As part of our marketing services, Savage Strategic may send SMS (text message) notifications to clients who have opted in. These messages include lead notifications, such as forwarded text messages from potential customers who contact your business via marketing tracking numbers.

Opt-In: Clients opt in to SMS lead notifications by signing a service agreement and enabling SMS forwarding in their account dashboard. SMS notifications are only sent to business phone numbers designated by the client.

Message Frequency:Message frequency varies based on lead volume. Clients typically receive 1–50 messages per week depending on campaign activity.

Opt-Out: You may opt out of SMS notifications at any time by replying STOP to any message, disabling SMS forwarding in your account dashboard, or contacting us at support@savagestrategic.io.

Help: Reply HELP to any message for support, or contact support@savagestrategic.io.

Message & Data Rates: Standard message and data rates may apply. Savage Strategic does not charge for SMS notifications.

Carriers:Supported carriers include AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and other major US carriers. Savage Strategic is not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages due to carrier issues.

11. Commercial Checkout and Electronic Acceptance

When you use a private proposal checkout, your package and location selections, the checkout summary, these linked terms, and your affirmative checkbox acceptance form the electronic record of your purchase. By proceeding, you represent that you are authorized to bind the company identified in the checkout.

The final checkout summary identifies whether your offer contains recurring services, one-time project work, or both. Unless the private proposal expressly states otherwise, the initial agency partnership term is 12 months and each added location has a six-month minimum commitment. A project-only offer does not create a future recurring subscription. Any promotion or waiver applies only to the line items, quantities, and duration shown in the final checkout summary.

If you select a project payment schedule, the schedule divides only the one-time project investment into the displayed phases. The first project payment is due when you accept. Each remaining payment becomes due when Savage Strategic reaches the corresponding phase shown in the accepted schedule and issues the related invoice. Recurring services, if any, are billed separately and are not divided by the project schedule. The final project payment is due before launch or final delivery unless the proposal expressly states a different milestone.

Savage Strategic may provide a follow-up service agreement to document operational details, deliverables, and account administration. If a later agreement signed by both parties expressly changes a term, that later agreement controls that term.

Advertising spend is not included in the amounts shown at checkout. Where we manage advertising for you, your advertising budget is billed separately on the schedule described in section 12 below. A payment processing charge applies to card payments and is waived for ACH bank transfer and Zelle, as described in section 13.

12. Advertising Spend and Pass-Through Billing

Where we manage advertising for you, your advertising budget is separate from the management fee shown at checkout. Savage Strategic pays the advertising platforms — for example Google Ads, Google Local Services Ads, and Meta — using our own payment method, and then charges you to be reimbursed. We advance these amounts on your behalf as your agent for payment. We do not mark up advertising spend, except for an advertising spend service fee expressly stated in your proposal or service order.

Twice-monthly billing. You authorize us to charge the payment method on file for advertising spend on the 1st and the 15th of each month. If a billing date falls on a weekend or United States bank holiday, the charge is taken on the next business day. This authorization continues for every future advertising spend charge until you cancel in writing, and we do not ask again before each charge.

The amount of each charge varies.Each charge covers advertising spend actually incurred on your accounts since the previous billing date. Advertising platforms bill us on their own spending thresholds rather than on calendar dates, so one charge may be larger and the next smaller, and any single charge may be more or less than half of your approved monthly budget. We will not place more than your approved monthly budget of advertising in a calendar month without your written approval. That ceiling applies to the spend placed in a month, not to the amounts charged in it — because we bill after the spend has run, a charge on the 1st usually carries the tail end of the month before.

Spend deposit. Before campaigns begin you pay a refundable spend deposit in the amount stated in your service order. It is not a fee and we do not earn it; it funds and secures the advertising spend we advance for you, and each twice-monthly charge restores it to that amount. We refund the remaining balance within 10 business days after your final advertising spend charge.

If a charge is declined. If a scheduled advertising spend charge is declined or reversed, we may pause your campaigns and stop advancing further spend until the balance is paid. Advertising spend already incurred remains payable.

Refunds. Advertising spend already delivered by a platform is not refundable by Savage Strategic, because we have already paid that amount to the platform on your behalf. Your spend deposit remains refundable as described above.

Cancellation. Cancelling does not by itself stop advertising delivery. We pause your campaigns on the date stated in our written acknowledgment, then take one final advertising spend charge covering spend incurred through that pause date and not yet reimbursed, and refund any remaining spend deposit. Advertising spend incurred before the pause date remains payable.

13. Payment Methods and Processing Charge

You choose how you pay. We accept card or bank debit through our payment processor, ACH bank transfer, and Zelle. The method you select applies to your recurring management fee, to your advertising spend charges under section 12, and to your spend deposit, until you tell us otherwise in writing.

Processing charge. The amounts we invoice include a payment processing charge of 3%, shown as its own line on every invoice. It reimburses what our payment processor charges us to accept the payment. It is not additional compensation for our services. We waive it in full on any amount you pay by ACH bank transfer or Zelle, because those methods cost us nothing to accept — so paying that way is always the lower total.

The processing charge is not a markup on advertising spend. Your advertising budget still passes through to the platforms at cost, exactly as described in section 12. The processing charge applies to the invoice as a whole, on the same basis it applies to your management fee, and it does not change what we place with the platforms on your behalf.

Refunds. Where we refund an amount, we refund that amount. The processing charge on a refunded payment is not returned, because our payment processor does not return it to us.
