Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 3, 2026

⚡ The "No-Fluff" Summary (Read This First)
  • I am not Google: I control the settings, but Google controls the algorithm. I cannot guarantee #1 rankings (no one can).
  • No Refunds on Labor: Once I start the "Forensic Audit" or write code, that time is spent.
  • You Own Everything: Unlike agencies, I don't hold your account hostage. If you leave, you keep the data and the landing page code.
  • Respect: I am a blunt technical auditor, not a customer service rep. We treat each other with professional respect.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the StopAdWaste website and our services. By hiring Simon (StopAdWaste) for an audit or ongoing management, you agree to these terms.

1. Nature of Services

StopAdWaste provides digital marketing consulting, specifically:

  • Forensic Audits: Reviewing Google Ads accounts to identify wasted spend.
  • Landing Page Development: Coding high-performance HTML pages.
  • Campaign Management: Ongoing optimization of keywords, bids, and tracking.

Disclaimer: We are an independent third-party consultancy. We are not employed by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Google Inc.

2. No Guarantees on Ad Performance

While we use industry-leading "Forensic" methods to optimize your account, we cannot legally guarantee specific results (e.g., "You will get 50 calls this week").

Google Ads works on a live auction system. Results depend on market demand, competitor activity, and your budget. We guarantee best practices and technical excellence, not algorithm outcomes.

3. Payment & Refund Policy

A. Audits & Setup Fees

Fees for Audits, Landing Page Coding, and Account Setup are non-refundable once the work has commenced. These fees cover the technical labor and intellectual property required to build your system.

B. Monthly Management

Management fees are billed monthly. You may cancel at any time with 30 days' notice. We do not lock you into long-term 6-month or 12-month contracts.

C. Ad Spend

You pay Google directly for your ad clicks. StopAdWaste never touches your ad budget. You must have a valid payment method connected to your Google Ads account.

4. Intellectual Property & Ownership

This is what makes us different. Upon full payment of your setup fees:

  • You Own The Account: The Google Ads account ID belongs to you.
  • You Own The Data: All keyword data, conversion data, and search term history is yours.
  • You Own The Landing Page: You are granted a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use the HTML landing page code we build for you, even if you stop working with us.

5. Client Responsibilities

To ensure the "Forensic System" works, you agree to:

  • Provide timely access to your Google Ads account and Google Analytics.
  • Answer phone calls from leads professionally (we can send traffic, but we can't close the deal for you).
  • Not interfere with the campaign (e.g., changing keywords or budgets without notifying us), as this breaks the optimization data.

6. Limitation of Liability

StopAdWaste is not liable for:

  • Click fraud or bot traffic (though we use tools to minimize this).
  • Suspensions of your Google Ads account due to your business practices or prior policy violations.
  • Loss of profits or revenue due to market changes.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any client who is abusive, refuses to follow technical recommendations that harm performance, or fails to pay invoices on time.
