Legal
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern all services provided by Yare Strategy ("Yare Strategy", "we", "us" or "our") to any client ("you" or "Client"). By booking a consultation, signing a Project Agreement, approving a milestone or paying an invoice, you agree to these Terms.
Where a signed Project Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the Project Agreement governs for that project only.
The scope of each engagement, including Milestones, Deliverables, fees, currency, timelines and refund terms, is set out in a Project Agreement agreed in writing before any work begins.
Work outside the agreed scope is not included unless both parties agree to it in writing, which may involve an additional Milestone and fee. We will always tell you before out-of-scope work begins.
Every project starts with an initial consultation at no cost and with no obligation. Nothing discussed in a consultation creates a binding commitment for either party until a Project Agreement is accepted in writing.
Work is delivered in the Milestones set out in the Project Agreement. When a Milestone is complete, we will submit it for your review.
You agree to review each Milestone within ten (10) business days of submission and either give Approval or describe the revisions reasonably needed to meet the agreed outcome. If you do not respond within that period, we will follow up in writing; a Milestone is never deemed approved without your confirmation.
Reasonable revisions needed to achieve the outcome agreed in the Project Agreement are included in the Milestone fee and are not charged separately. Requests that change the agreed outcome or scope are treated as new work under Section 3.
You agree to provide timely access to the information, materials, accounts and decision-makers reasonably needed to deliver the Services, and to confirm that any materials you supply do not infringe the rights of others. Delays caused by late inputs may extend timelines accordingly.
On payment of a Milestone, ownership of the final Deliverables for that Milestone transfers to you, excluding third-party materials (such as licensed fonts, stock assets or software), which remain subject to their own licences.
We retain ownership of our pre-existing know-how, methods, templates and tools. Unless you tell us otherwise in writing, we may describe the general nature of the work in our portfolio without disclosing confidential information.
Each party will keep the other's non-public business information confidential and use it only to perform or receive the Services. This obligation survives the end of the engagement for three (3) years, or longer for trade secrets.
Some Services involve third-party platforms, including AI models, APIs, advertising networks and software providers. Those platforms are governed by their own terms, pricing and availability, which we do not control.
AI-generated output can contain errors. We review output we deliver, but you remain responsible for final review and for decisions made using AI systems we configure. We will not upload your confidential data to a third-party AI service without your approval.
Advertising budgets are paid by you directly to the relevant platforms and are separate from our fees. While we work to improve performance, we do not guarantee specific results, rankings, leads, sales or return on ad spend, as these depend on factors outside our control.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Yare Strategy's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, is limited to the total fees you paid to us in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential or special losses, including loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
You agree to indemnify Yare Strategy against claims arising from materials you supply, your use of Deliverables outside the agreed purpose, or your breach of these Terms or applicable law.
Either party may end an engagement with written notice. On termination, approved Milestones are payable, any paid but undelivered Milestone is refunded pro rata under Section 8, and work in progress on an unreached Milestone is not charged. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will do so.
We collect and use personal information only to respond to enquiries and deliver the Services, in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy law, including PIPEDA. Information submitted through our contact form is used solely to reply to you and is not sold or shared for marketing.
These Terms and any Project Agreement are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The version in effect when a Project Agreement is accepted applies to that project unless both parties agree otherwise in writing.
