Service Agreement

Updated December 20241 min read

1. Services

1.1 "Services" refers to the various tasks or products provided by JRR Marketing as displayed on our website. The specific services provided by JRR Marketing will depend on the plan you subscribe to, which may include the following:

(i) Unlimited Plan

The Unlimited Plan is highly adaptable and moulds to your business's evolving needs. It includes ongoing marketing support across areas such as SEO, Google Ads management, landing pages, funnels, content creation, web design, and general marketing tasks. Work is prioritised based on your current goals and may shift from month to month to make sure your marketing stays aligned with your business direction.

(ii) Plan Hours and Work Allocation

Each plan includes a set number of monthly work hours. The Starter Plan includes up to 5 hours of active work per month, plus up to 5 overflow hours for urgent issues. The Unlimited Plan includes up to 20 hours of active work per month, plus up to 5 overflow hours for urgent issues. See Sections 3.5 to 3.10 for how plan hours, time tracking and resource allocation are managed.

1.2 Once you agree to follow the rules in this agreement and subscribe to a plan, you can use our Services as long as you have paid for them on time. We will try our best to keep the Services available for you, except during planned downtime or unexpected emergencies.

1.3 When using the Services, it's important to follow the rules outlined in the Agreement, including providing correct information, keeping your password secure, and being responsible for everything that happens on your account.

2. Subscription

2.1 Your subscription begins on the date we receive your first payment and continues for the period you selected when signing up. Monthly plans are 30 days, Quarterly plans are 3 months, and Annual plans are 12 months.

2.2 Either you or JRR Marketing PTE LTD may end this agreement by giving at least 30 days' written notice by email to hello@josiahroche.co during business hours (9 a.m.– 5 p.m. Singapore Time, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays).

2.3 Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each Billing Cycle for the same length of time as the plan you selected. We will charge your saved payment method through Stripe at the start of each new Billing Cycle.

2.4 By subscribing to our services, you authorise JRR Marketing PTE LTD to automatically debit your designated credit card or payment method through Stripe for the applicable subscription fees.

2.5 Plan Changes During Notice Period

If a cancellation notice is submitted under Section 2.2, the subscription will be considered in a cancellation period from the date notice is received until the effective termination date ("Cancellation Period"). Any scheduled or requested plan changes — including downgrades, upgrades, or billing adjustments — will not take effect during the Cancellation Period. The subscription will continue under the plan active at the time the cancellation notice is given, and all fees for the Cancellation Period will be charged at that plan's rate. For clarity: plan changes requested or scheduled prior to cancellation but due to take effect after the cancellation notice is received will be considered void unless otherwise agreed in writing by JRR Marketing.

3. Use of Services

3.1 You can use our Services for different projects and sizes that you have signed up for in your plan. We accept unlimited requests and revisions, but we may not always be able to complete them quickly if there is a high volume of work.

3.2 We always try our hardest to avoid making mistakes. However, because creative design and marketing can be complex and subjective in nature, we cannot promise that the services delivered to you will be completely free of errors.

3.3 When you use our Services, you give us information, data, or materials that belong to you ("Customer Content"). By giving us your Customer Content, you are saying that you own it or have permission to share it with us.

3.4 For clients subscribed to the Unlimited Plan, you will own all assets specifically created for your company by JRR Marketing once all fees due have been received.

3.5 Subscription Access Model

The Services are provided on a subscription basis as a pay-for-access model. Each plan grants the Client access to a monthly allocation of JRR Marketing's agency capacity, tools, systems and team resources. The plan fee is paid for ongoing access to that capacity and to the Services described in the Client's subscribed plan; it is not a purchase of a fixed number of billable consulting hours, a guarantee that the full monthly allocation will be consumed, or a deposit against which unused time accrues. JRR Marketing is under no obligation to consume, exhaust or deliver the full monthly hour allocation, and the Client is not entitled to a refund, credit, cash equivalent, rebate or fee adjustment for any portion of the monthly allocation that is not used within a Billing Cycle.

In practice, actual hours used in any given month may run slightly above or below the monthly allocation depending on workload, request volume and team capacity. JRR Marketing aims for delivery to balance out across the subscription term, but no individual month's over-delivery or under-delivery creates a credit, debit, refund entitlement or obligation between the parties.

3.6 Monthly Reset, Add-On Hour Packets and Measurement of Hours

(a) Monthly reset. Plan hour allocations operate on a calendar-month basis. The monthly allocation resets at the start of each calendar month and any unused hours from the prior month expire at that point. This reset is applied uniformly across all clients to keep capacity allocation equitable, and JRR Marketing does not offer preferential rollover, banking or carry-forward arrangements to individual clients.

(b) Add-on hour packets. From time to time the Client may purchase additional hour packets (for example, a 10-hour or 15-hour add-on) on top of the base monthly allocation. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, add-on hour packets are purchased for use within the calendar month in which they are bought. JRR Marketing will use reasonable efforts to consume add-on packet hours within that month where capacity, scope and request volume allow, but full consumption is not guaranteed. Unused add-on hours are subject to the same treatment as unused plan hours under Sections 3.5 and 3.7 and do not carry over, accrue or convert to a refund or credit unless JRR Marketing expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

(c) Non-refundable. Consistent with Section 4.2, all fees for add-on hour packets are non-refundable and non-transferable, including where the Client does not use, or JRR Marketing does not fully consume, the purchased hours within the relevant calendar month.

(d) Cancellation period interaction. Where a cancellation notice has been given under Section 2.2, any add-on hour packets purchased before or during the Cancellation Period remain subject to the calendar-month reset in 3.6(a) and the non-refund posture in 3.6(c). Add-on hours that are not consumed by the effective termination date expire on that date and are not refundable, transferable or convertible to credit, regardless of the reason for non-consumption.

(e) Measurement of hours. Time is measured using JRR Marketing's internal time-tracking tools and is rounded to the nearest fifteen (15) minutes per logged work segment. Time spent on internal coordination, account management, status reporting, tool configuration, briefing, research and quality review that is reasonably attributable to the Client's work is included in plan hour consumption. JRR Marketing's internal records of time consumed are, absent manifest error, conclusive for the purposes of determining when the monthly allocation or an add-on packet has been used.

3.7 Unused Hours and Spillover

Unused plan hours do not accrue, carry over or roll into subsequent Billing Cycles and have no monetary value. JRR Marketing may, at its sole and absolute discretion and on a case-by-case basis, permit a limited amount of spillover from a preceding month where capacity allows. Any such spillover is a goodwill exception, is not a contractual right, does not establish a course of dealing, and may be withdrawn or refused at any time without notice. Reliance on past spillover does not create any expectation of future spillover.

3.8 Time Tracking: Purpose and Limitations

JRR Marketing may track time internally for the sole purposes of capacity management, resource planning, providing the Client with visibility of plan usage, and determining when the monthly allocation has been substantially consumed. Time tracking is an internal operational tool and is not, and shall not be interpreted by the Client as:

  • a billable-hours consulting engagement, professional services timesheet, employee time card, payroll record or labour audit;
  • a task-by-task activity log, work diary, billing ledger or itemised invoice;
  • a representation that any specific minute, entry, timestamp or team member assignment is independently verifiable, approvable, disputable or chargeable; or
  • the source of truth for work performed under the plan.

Where JRR Marketing chooses to surface plan usage to the Client, for example through an hours-used indicator, such visibility is provided as a convenience to help the Client anticipate when additional capacity may be required. It does not grant the Client any right to manage, approve, audit, reconcile, dispute, withhold payment against, or micromanage how individual minutes, tasks, team members, internal contractors, tools or other resources are allocated or recorded.

3.9 Source of Truth for Work Performed

The authoritative record of work performed under the plan is the body of client-facing outputs and updates that JRR Marketing makes available, which may include ClickUp workspaces and task boards, task statuses, task comments, delivered assets and files, project updates, weekly summaries, completed-task lists and similar communications. Individual timer entries, internal time descriptions and internal notes are not part of this record and are not deliverables. JRR Marketing is under no obligation to provide narratives, descriptions, explanations, screenshots, breakdowns, screen recordings, justifications or supporting evidence for any individual time entry, timestamp, team member entry or internal work segment. JRR Marketing may, at its discretion, provide additional summaries, explanations or context from time to time; doing so on any occasion does not create a continuing obligation to do so, nor a precedent or course of dealing.

3.10 Operational Control

JRR Marketing retains sole and absolute discretion over task prioritisation, sequencing, scheduling, team and personnel allocation, internal collaboration, choice of tools and systems, internal workflow, and the manner in which plan hours and agency resources are used to deliver the Services, provided that the work performed relates to the Client's subscribed plan and the scope contemplated by this Agreement. The Client may submit requests, priorities and feedback through the agreed channels, and JRR Marketing will take these into reasonable account; however, the Client shall not direct, instruct or supervise individual team members, dictate internal processes, or require changes to JRR Marketing's internal operating procedures. Any attempt to use time-tracking visibility, ClickUp access or other operational tooling to audit, direct, performance-manage or restructure JRR Marketing's internal workflow is outside the scope of this Agreement and may, at JRR Marketing's discretion, be treated as a material breach under Section 2.

4. Payments

4.1 Fees for any services will be as stated on the Quote and are exclusive of GST and other applicable taxes.

4.2 All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. This includes but is not limited to situations where the client decides to cancel or terminate the services, irrespective of the reasons.

4.3 If any invoiced amount remains unpaid past the due date, you agree to pay interest at a rate of 2% per month on the outstanding balance.

4.4 In the event of non-payment and if legal action becomes necessary to recover outstanding amounts, you agree to be responsible for all costs associated with collection including legal fees and court costs.

5. Recovery

Should any outstanding amounts be owed to JRR Marketing PTE LTD under the terms of this Agreement, the debtor agrees to bear all costs associated with the recovery of these funds. These costs encompass fees associated with recovery agents, repossession activities, location searches, process serving, debt collection commissions, and legal representation.

6. Service Interruptions

JRR Marketing PTE LTD will not be held responsible for any delays or disruptions in service delivery due to unforeseen obstacles, including:

  • Inability to access crucial tools or systems because you haven't provided the required permissions
  • Delayed responses from your end (more than one business day)
  • External events beyond our control, such as natural disasters or third-party service interruptions

7. Guarantees

7.1 JRR Marketing offers a performance guarantee as part of the "Unlimited Plan." Under this guarantee, if JRR Marketing does not outperform your current agency or in-house team's results within the first 90 days of the contract, JRR Marketing will refund the retainer fees paid for that initial 90-day period.

7.2 To qualify for the performance guarantee, clients must prepay the full amount for the 90-day period and commit to a full 90-day period of the Unlimited Plan.

7.3 Outside the specific performance guarantee detailed above, JRR Marketing does not guarantee any particular outcomes, such as overall business success, profitability, or growth.
