Clients engaging Lockstep Media services agree to:
Lockstep Media uses the Google Ads API to manage advertising campaigns on behalf of clients. Our use of the Google Ads API is governed by the Google Ads API Terms of Service. We access client Google Ads accounts solely for the purpose of campaign management as authorized by the client. We do not use client data for purposes beyond those agreed upon in our service agreement.
Service fees are as agreed upon in individual client agreements. Ad spend is separate from management fees and is billed directly through the respective advertising platforms. Lockstep Media is not responsible for ad spend charges incurred directly by client-owned accounts.
Creative assets, strategies, and materials developed by Lockstep Media for a client become the property of that client upon full payment. Lockstep Media retains the right to reference client work in its portfolio unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary or sensitive information shared in the course of the business relationship, including but not limited to account credentials, business strategies, and financial information.
Lockstep Media's liability shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client in the three months preceding any claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our services or third-party platforms.
Lockstep Media operates within the policies of all advertising platforms we use. We are not responsible for account suspensions, policy violations, or changes to platform algorithms that affect campaign performance. We will notify clients promptly of any such issues.
Either party may terminate services with 30 days written notice. Upon termination, client retains full ownership of their advertising accounts, data, and creative assets. Lockstep Media will facilitate a smooth transition of account access.
