Web marketing agreement
This agreement has been designed to regulate the relationship between a provider of web marketing services and a customer. It deals with a wide range of different services, and for this reason is a relatively complex document. It can however be simplified during editing.
The agreement has provisions covering: marketing consultancy, the supply of content for websites, email marketing (including the provision of a hosted email marketing platform), search engine optimisation, social media marketing and paid online advertising management. Each service is dealt with in a dedicated section of the agreement, and by removing unwanted sections the agreement can be adapted to cover only some of these services.
In addition to the core provisions, the agreement includes special clauses dealing with works and materials supplied by the client, client websites promoted through the services, online accounts used by the service provider in the course of providing the services and general client obligations with respect to the services.
The data processor clause in the agreement reflects the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR.
This is a B2B document and is not suitable for use in relation to B2C services.
