THE CLIENT will sign approvals and authorizations. Social Sipper will notify THE CLIENT of all space and/or time ordered and amendments. THE CLIENT may request changes, cancellations, or stop any work in progress, provided they have the Social Sipper’s contractual obligations. Where changes or cancellations are requested on previously approved or owed work, THE CLIENT will reimburse Social Sipper for unrecoverable charges or expenses. 

PAYMENT DETAILS

Upon executing this Agreement, THE CLIENT agrees to pay the Agency a contract fee based on the selection in the proposal. THE CLIENT will be charged for additional products and/or services as ordered, in writing, by THE CLIENT, which is not part of the Services covered by this Agreement, at the Agency’s current rates for such additional products and/or services. THE CLIENT agrees to pay the Agency all reasonable, out-of-pocket miscellaneous expenses, pre-approved delivery charges, and travel expenses when applicable. A monthly statement will be provided with an itemization of work performed during the month.

Ownership

All advertising, trade names, plans, or ideas prepared for and purchased by THE CLIENT shall be THE CLIENT’S property after the contract.  

Marketing of Customer Products

Social Sipper reserves the right to display any materials created for THE CLIENT by Social Sipper in our marketing assets unless otherwise noted by the client.  

Legal Liability and Insurance

Social Sipper shall not be liable for delay, omission, or error in any advertisement without willful default or neglect.   

Hold Harmless

Social Sipper agrees to exercise its best judgment in preparing and placing all advertising and publicity for THE CLIENT to avoid any claims, proceedings, or suits being made or instituted against you or us. It is mutually agreed, however, that THE CLIENT will indemnify Social Sipper against any loss we may incur as the result of any claim, suit, or proceedings made or brought against Social Sipper based upon any advertising or publicity which Social Sipper prepared for THE CLIENT based on information provided by THE CLIENT and which THE CLIENT approved in writing before its publication or broadcast.  

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Social Sipper to undertake any campaign or prepare any advertising or publicity which, in our judgment, is misleading, libelous, unlawful, indecent, or otherwise prejudicial to us or your interest.  

Examination of Records

THE CLIENT may examine our files for records about your advertising at any time, with reasonable notice. 

Industry, Codes, and Standards

Social Sipper abides by Advertising Standards, Industry Ethics, and other standards laid down by the media to ensure that all advertising is legal, in good taste, honest, and truthful.  

THE CLIENT agrees to inform us if, at any time, any copy claim submitted for approval is incorrect or misleading concerning the product or service advertised.  

Termination of Agreement

Either party to this Agreement may terminate it with 30 days written notice. THE CLIENT will be responsible for all unpaid invoices for services up to the contract termination date on a pro-rata basis. THE CLIENT agrees to reimburse us for all approved work in progress.   The total value of all branded materials, including website development, logos, etc., will be due at the time of termination, along with any outstanding invoices for marketing services provided. At that time, Social Sipper will release all designed and developed materials from the contract to THE CLIENT. 

On termination of the Agreement and payment of all items properly chargeable, the Agency agrees to give all reasonable co-operation in transferring the account to another agency or vendor of THE CLIENT’s choice.
