3. Marlin Media Services

The specific scope, deliverables, fees, timelines, responsibilities, and approval requirements for client services are defined in the applicable proposal, statement of work, contract, or other written agreement.

Marketing and advertising performance depends on many factors outside Marlin Media's control, including market conditions, competition, product demand, pricing, inventory, website performance, platform algorithms, attribution systems, and client decisions.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, Marlin Media does not guarantee specific advertising results, revenue, return on advertising spend, search rankings, lead volume, or other performance outcomes.

4. Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for providing accurate information, timely approvals, necessary platform access, appropriate account permissions, and any materials reasonably required for Marlin Media to perform agreed services.

Clients are responsible for ensuring that their products, services, claims, offers, websites, creative materials, and business practices comply with applicable laws and platform policies.

5. Advertising and Technology Platforms

Marlin Media may use or interact with third-party platforms including Google, Meta, ecommerce platforms, analytics services, hosting providers, and other technology services while providing client services.

These third-party platforms are governed by their own terms, policies, availability, and technical limitations.

Marlin Media is not responsible for outages, account suspensions, policy changes, algorithm changes, reporting discrepancies, or other actions taken by third-party platforms outside Marlin Media's reasonable control.

6. Authorized Account Access

Clients may authorize Marlin Media to access advertising, analytics, ecommerce, or other business accounts for the purpose of providing agreed services.

Marlin Media will use such access only for legitimate activities related to the applicable client engagement and in accordance with applicable platform permissions and internal authorization controls.

Clients remain responsible for ownership of their accounts unless otherwise expressly agreed.

7. Internal Technology and Marlin Paid Media

Marlin Media may use proprietary or internally developed tools to support the delivery of services.

Marlin Paid Media is a private internal paid-media operations system used by authorized Marlin Media personnel to support advertising reporting, monitoring, analysis, strategic recommendations, approved account operations, and performance evaluation.

Access to Marlin Paid Media does not transfer ownership of Marlin Media's internal systems, software, processes, methods, or intellectual property to a client.

8. Human Approval and Advertising Decisions

Marlin Media may use automated systems and artificial intelligence to assist with analysis, monitoring, recommendations, and operational workflows.

Material advertising decisions remain subject to Marlin Media's internal controls and applicable human approval processes.

Where a client agreement requires client approval for specific actions, such as changes to an agreed advertising budget, those approval requirements will continue to apply.

9. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Marlin Media retains ownership of its pre-existing intellectual property, internal tools, processes, systems, methodologies, templates, software, and know-how.

Client-owned materials remain the property of the client.

Ownership and permitted use of custom creative work, deliverables, or other materials produced for a client may be further defined in the applicable client agreement.

10. Confidentiality

Marlin Media will take reasonable measures to protect confidential client information received in connection with its services.

Clients must likewise respect Marlin Media's confidential information, internal systems, credentials, methods, and non-public materials.

Separate confidentiality obligations contained in a written client agreement or nondisclosure agreement will control where applicable.

To the extent permitted by law, the Marlin Media website and any general informational materials are provided on an "as available" basis.

Marlin Media does not warrant that third-party platforms, integrations, websites, APIs, or other external services will operate without interruption or error.

Nothing in these Terms limits obligations expressly stated in a separate written client agreement.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to any separate written client agreement, Marlin Media will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the website or third-party platforms.

Any contractual limitations of liability agreed with a client in a separate written agreement will govern that client engagement.

14. Changes to These Terms

Marlin Media may update these Terms as its services, technology, or legal requirements evolve.

The current version will be published on this page with the date of the latest revision.
