DEALDOT MEDIA
Billing, scope & service delivery
How client documents work, how changes are approved, and what needs to be settled before signing.
Where do I find DealDot’s service terms?
The Service Agreements directory is the central reference point. It contains candidate master terms, service schedules and addenda. Your accepted engagement identifies the documents and versions that actually apply; the directory is not a checkout or acceptance mechanism.
Are the public drafts my final contract?
No. They are working base documents for review. They become part of an engagement only through express identification and acceptance. Client-specific scope, commercial terms and negotiated changes belong in the proposal, order, SOW or amendment.
Which document controls if terms conflict?
The proposed structure puts signed amendments first, then accepted client-specific order/SOW terms, applicable service schedules and master terms. Data-processing provisions take priority on personal-data issues, and mandatory law controls. Your signed agreement should confirm that structure.
Why do draft agreements contain $PRICE and $DATE?
Custom fees and dates have not been established for every Client. Placeholders make the decisions visible. Complete the relevant scope, payment, timing, responsibility and risk fields before signing instead of assuming the website supplies those terms.
What is the billing schedule or refund policy?
There is no universal schedule or refund rule established by this update. Your accepted terms must state charges, due dates, recurring costs, renewal, cancellation and any lawful credits/refunds. Do not infer them from another brand or a provider’s own agreement.
How are extra requests handled?
Use a written Change Order that explains the new work and its effects on deliverables, fees, timing and responsibilities. Both authorized representatives accept the change before additional work or spending is authorized. A request is not itself approval of a fee.
What happens if content or approvals are delayed?
Discuss the affected dependencies and document revised timing or scope. The engagement should state the review process and any agreed consequences. A universal late-response penalty, deemed approval or fixed extension is not supplied by these drafts.
Do I get automatic renewals or unlimited support?
Only if you expressly agree those terms. Project work, ongoing maintenance, hosting, third-party subscriptions and support can have different arrangements. Confirm each service term and renewal or cancellation procedure.
What should be resolved before signing?
The legal parties, scope, deliverables, prices, dates, acceptance process, IP rights, required providers, data roles, support, hosting responsibility, cancellation, transition and risk allocation. Do not leave a material placeholder unanswered or assume every candidate schedule applies.
Does a later website update change my signed engagement?
Not automatically. Retain the versions incorporated into your agreement. A document can move or become restricted without changing accepted terms; changes to your engagement follow the agreed amendment process.
Scope and availability are confirmed for your engagement. Discuss your business or visit the Service Agreements directory.
