Social media marketing terms and conditions

Social media marketing includes a range of different activities. For instance: online account creation and management, content creation, content publication, content promotion and analytics. These terms and conditions provide a legal framework for these sorts of services.

The scope of social media marketing services will vary greatly from contract to contract. For this reason, the scope of the services is to be set out in a separate statement of work. A template statement is included with the terms and conditions.

The terms and conditions place obligations upon the customer to help the services provider to perform its obligations under the contract. As well as general cooperation and information obligations, the customer may be obligated to help with content production and analytics data access. The customer may also be obligated to provide an email address under the relevant website's domain.

The customer gives to the service provider a warranty that content provided by the customer will not create legal difficulties for the provider.

A special clause covers ownership and use of online accounts. Such accounts are divided into three categories: pre-existing service provider accounts; accounts created by the customer; and new accounts created by the services provider. Under the suggested wording, accounts in the first category remain in the control of the services provider while accounts in the second and third categories fall under the control of the customer.

An optional trade mark licence, from the customer to the services provider, is included.

Other more generic clauses cover IPR in deliverables, charges and payments, confidentiality, data protection, warranties and indemnities, limits of liability, and so on.
