Content Growth Strategies LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is a California limited liability company with its principal place of business at 23 Earlymorn, Irvine, CA 92614. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client," "you," or "your") and Content Growth Strategies LLC.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using our website, submitting a contact form, requesting a consultation, or signing a service agreement with Content Growth Strategies LLC, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our website or engage our services. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of our website or services after any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
2. Marketing Consulting Services
Content Growth Strategies LLC provides content marketing consulting services including strategic planning, content audits, competitive analysis, editorial calendar development, and marketing advisory services. Our consulting services are provided based on our professional expertise and industry knowledge. While we make every effort to provide accurate and actionable recommendations, we cannot guarantee specific business outcomes from the implementation of our strategic recommendations.
Marketing consulting engagements are governed by a written Statement of Work or Service Agreement that specifies the scope of services, deliverables, timeline, and fees. All consulting engagements require execution of a written agreement before work begins. Verbal agreements are not binding on Content Growth Strategies LLC.
Consulting recommendations are based on information provided by the client and publicly available market information. The client is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of information provided to us. We are not responsible for consulting outcomes based on incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the client.
3. Content Creation Services
Content Growth Strategies LLC provides content creation services including blog writing, website copywriting, email marketing content, white papers, case studies, and other written content marketing materials. All content creation services are provided in accordance with a written Service Agreement that specifies the content types, quantities, word counts, delivery schedule, and revision policy.
We create original content for each client engagement. We do not recycle, repurpose, or resell content created for one client to any other client. All content is written specifically for the client's industry, audience, and brand voice as described in the project brief and discovery process.
Content created for clients is intended for marketing and informational purposes only. Content related to healthcare, legal, financial, or other regulated industries is provided for marketing purposes and does not constitute professional advice in those fields. Clients in regulated industries are responsible for ensuring that all published content complies with applicable regulations and professional standards.
4. Project Scope and Change Orders
The scope of each project is defined in the written Service Agreement or Statement of Work executed by both parties. Any requests for work that falls outside the defined scope will be treated as a change order and will require written approval and may result in additional fees. We will provide written notice and a cost estimate before undertaking any out-of-scope work.
Scope changes that affect project timelines will be addressed through a written amendment to the original Service Agreement. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate scope changes within existing timelines, but cannot guarantee that scope additions will be completed within the original project timeline without additional time and fees.
Clients are responsible for providing complete and accurate project briefs, brand guidelines, and source materials within the timeframes specified in the Service Agreement. Delays caused by late delivery of client materials may affect project completion dates and will not constitute a breach of contract by Content Growth Strategies LLC.
5. Revision Policy
Our standard content creation services include two rounds of revisions per content piece. A "round of revisions" means a single consolidated set of feedback provided within 7 business days of content delivery. Revisions must be provided in writing via email or our project management system. Verbal revision requests will not be acted upon without written confirmation.
Revisions are defined as modifications to existing content based on the original brief and scope. Revisions do not include fundamental changes to the topic, audience, tone, or purpose of the content, which would constitute new work and may be subject to additional fees. Factual corrections are addressed at no additional charge regardless of the revision round.
Additional revision rounds beyond the two included in the standard service may be purchased at our then-current hourly rate. Clients who require more than two revision rounds on a consistent basis should discuss this with their account manager, as it may indicate that the initial brief and discovery process needs to be more thorough.
6. Payment Terms
Payment terms are specified in each Service Agreement. Standard payment terms are as follows: project-based work requires a 50% deposit before work begins, with the remaining 50% due upon delivery of final content. Monthly retainer services are invoiced at the beginning of each month and are due within 15 days of the invoice date. Consulting sessions are invoiced immediately following the session and are due within 10 days.
Invoices that are not paid within the specified payment terms are subject to a late payment fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. We reserve the right to suspend services for accounts that are more than 30 days past due. Suspended services will resume upon receipt of full payment of all outstanding balances, including late fees.
All fees are stated in United States Dollars. Clients are responsible for any applicable taxes on services received. If you are a tax-exempt organization, you must provide documentation of your tax-exempt status before your first invoice is issued.
7. Intellectual Property
Upon receipt of full payment for content creation services, Content Growth Strategies LLC assigns to the client all rights, title, and interest in the content created under the service agreement, including all intellectual property rights. This assignment is exclusive and irrevocable. We retain no rights to use, reproduce, or distribute content created for clients after the assignment is complete.
Content Growth Strategies LLC retains ownership of all pre-existing intellectual property, including our methodologies, frameworks, templates, and tools used in the delivery of services. The client receives a license to use any such pre-existing materials as incorporated into the deliverables, but does not receive ownership of the underlying materials.
By providing source materials, brand guidelines, images, data, or other materials to Content Growth Strategies LLC for use in content creation, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to use those materials and to authorize us to use them in the creation of your content. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Content Growth Strategies LLC from any claims arising from the use of materials you provide.

Either party may terminate a month-to-month service engagement with 30 days written notice. Project-based engagements may be terminated by the client with written notice, subject to payment for all work completed through the termination date plus any non-refundable deposits as specified in the Service Agreement.
Content Growth Strategies LLC reserves the right to terminate any service engagement immediately if the client fails to pay invoices within the specified payment terms, requests that we create content that is illegal, defamatory, or violates the rights of third parties, or materially breaches any provision of these Terms or the applicable Service Agreement.

Before initiating any legal action, both parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may pursue their legal remedies. For claims under $10,000, either party may elect to use binding arbitration through a mutually agreed-upon arbitration service in lieu of court proceedings.
