Circumstances may arise where, because of a default or other liability, one of us is entitled to recover damages from the other. The following terms apply as your exclusive remedy and our exclusive liability.

  1. COMPANY’s Liability.
  1. Regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from Company (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), Company’s entire liability for all claims in the aggregate arising from or related to each Product or Service or otherwise arising under this Agreement will not exceed the amount of any actual direct damages up to the greater of U.S. [Dollar amount] (or equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Product or Service that is the subject of the claim. This limit also applies to any of Company’s subcontractors and Program developers. It is the maximum for which Company and its subcontractors and Program developers are collectively responsible.

    1. Items for Which COMPANY Is Not Liable
    2. Except as expressly required by law without the possibility of contractual waiver, under no circumstances is Company, its subcontractors, or Program developers liable for any of the following even if informed of their possibility: 1. loss of, or damage to, data; 2. special, incidental, exemplary, or indirect damages, or for any economic consequential damages; or 3. lost profits, business, revenue, goodwill or anticipated savings.

    3. Your Liability. In addition to damages for which you are liable under applicable law or the terms of this Agreement, you will indemnify Company for claims made against Company by others arising out of your conduct under this Agreement or as a result of your relationship with any third party, including without limitation, any claim based on representations, statements, claims or warranties not authorized by Company.

If either party desires to exchange confidential information, such exchange will be governed by the Nondisclosure Agreement entered into between the parties (“NDA”).

In the event that a dispute hereunder arises which cannot be resolved in the normal course, the following dispute resolution procedures shall be followed:

  1. If a dispute arises, then within ten (10) business days of a written request by either party, Client’s authorized representative and Company’s authorized representative shall meet in person or on the telephone and resolve the issue; if these parties cannot resolve the issue within ten (10) business days of the meeting, then (ii) the issue shall be submitted to persons in the position of [Title for Client] for Client and in the position of [Title of Sender] for Company.
  2. This provision shall not apply to the exclusion of claims for equitable relief (for example, injunction to prevent disclosure of confidential information).

15. Miscellaneous Provisions

  1. Company reserves the right to assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, on written notice. Company is also permitted to assign its rights to payments without obtaining your consent. It is not considered an assignment for Company to divest a portion of its business in a manner that similarly affects all of its Companies. Your rights under this Agreement are not property rights and, therefore, you can not transfer them to another party or encumber them in any way. For example, you can not sell your approval to market Company’s Products or Services or your rights to use Company’s Trademarks. You agree not to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement, your rights under this Agreement, or any of its approvals, or delegate any duties, unless expressly permitted to do so in this Agreement. Otherwise, any attempt to do so is void.
  2. Both parties agree to the application of the laws of [PLACE] to govern, interpret, and enforce all of your and COMPANY’s respective rights, duties and obligations arising from, or relating, in any manner to, the subject matter of this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law principles. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. The “United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods” does not apply.
  3. This Marketing Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes any and all written or verbal agreements between the parties related to the subject matter hereof. Any amendment to this Agreement must be in writing signed by a duly authorized officer or representative of the parties.
  1. Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person, or sent by overnight globally recognized courier addressed to the designated representative of any party as set forth below (or such other representatives as may be designated).
  2. The relationship of the parties shall at all times be one between independent contractors, and neither party shall be, nor represent itself to be, an employee, agent, representative, or joint venture of the other, nor shall either party have the right or authority to assume or create any obligation on behalf of, or in the name of, the other or otherwise to act on behalf of the other.
  3. All communications, written (including but not limited to e-mail), and oral, will be in American English. If any party desires to translate, the cost of such will be on the party which desires the translation.

16. Exclusivity

Company is free to advertise, promote, and market its Products and Services in or outside the Territory, either directly or through third-party partners, and may enter into similar agreements with any other person or entity without restriction.

Client agrees that, for the full duration of this Agreement and for as long as they remain an active paying client of OverDrive Digital Marketing, they will not engage, contract with, or otherwise utilize any third party that offers services that are substantially similar to those provided by Company. This includes, but is not limited to, website design, search engine optimization (SEO), Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, and email marketing.

This exclusivity provision is a material condition of service and applies regardless of the geographic location of the third party. Violation of this provision may result in immediate termination of services and forfeiture of any service guarantees, discounts, or bundled pricing associated with the Client’s account.

17. Termination

This Agreement shall continue unless terminated by either party with thirty (30) days written notice. Company may also terminate this Agreement immediately upon material breach by Client, including but not limited to non-payment, misrepresentation, or violation of exclusivity terms.

If payment fails, services will be suspended after 30 days and fully terminated on the 45th day following the first failed payment. Once terminated, all associated website files, backups, emails, or related materials will be permanently deleted. Clients who have failed to pay any outstanding balances will not receive a copy of their website or any related assets.

Clients who cancel services before the end of an agreed contract term (such as 12 or 24-month SEO plans) are still responsible for the remaining balance of the agreement. Early termination does not release Client from their financial obligation. This includes, but is not limited to, build fees, monthly service fees, content creation, and any digital assets already created by Company.

All fees paid are non-refundable. Work performed by OverDrive Digital Marketing, whether completed or in progress, is billable and payable in full upon cancellation or termination.

Company’s obligation to provide services ends upon termination, but the Client’s obligation to pay for work already delivered, initiated, or contractually agreed upon survives termination.

Upon early cancellation of an SEO service plan prior to the completion of the agreed term, Company reserves the right to reverse, remove, or undo some or all SEO efforts made on behalf of the Client, including but not limited to backlinks, on-page optimization, internal linking, content placement, meta tag configuration, and analytics integration. These elements are considered proprietary work products and remain under Company’s control until full payment is received for the agreed term of service.

18. AGREED UPON ORDER(S)

By completing this purchase on our website you agree to all the terms of this contract stated above.
