Refund &
Cancellation
Policy.
Krimson Square provides professional digital marketing services. Because our work involves the investment of time, expertise, and proprietary processes, our refund and cancellation policy reflects the nature of service-based engagements. Please read this policy carefully before engaging our services.
By signing a service agreement or submitting payment, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined below.
1. Service Categories
Krimson Square offers two categories of services, each with distinct refund and cancellation terms:
| Category | Services | Payment Structure |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — One-Time Projects | Digital Audit, Website Refresh, Meta Ads Build-Out | 50% deposit at start, 50% on delivery |
| Tier 2 — Monthly Retainers | SEO, Meta Ads Management, Social Media Mastery | Monthly flat fee, billed in advance |
| Tier 3 — Premium Retainer | Full-Stack Growth Partner | Monthly flat fee, billed in advance |
2. One-Time Projects (Tier 1)
Deposit Policy
All one-time projects require a 50% non-refundable deposit before work begins. This deposit covers the initial time invested in project scoping, intake, research, and resource allocation. The deposit is earned upon receipt and is not refundable under any circumstances once work has commenced.
Final Payment
The remaining 50% balance is due upon delivery of the final deliverables. Final payment is required before access to deliverables is granted.
Refund Eligibility for One-Time Projects
Refunds on the final payment may be considered only in the following limited circumstances:
- Krimson Square fails to deliver the agreed-upon deliverables within the timeline specified in the signed service agreement, and no extension has been mutually agreed upon in writing.
- The deliverables materially fail to meet the specifications outlined in the signed service agreement, and Krimson Square is given a reasonable opportunity to remedy the issue but fails to do so within 14 business days.
Refunds are not available for dissatisfaction with results, outcomes, or performance metrics after deliverables have been accepted. Digital marketing results depend on many factors outside our control, including market conditions, algorithm changes, and client-side implementation.
Client-Initiated Cancellation
If a client cancels a one-time project after work has commenced:
- The 50% deposit is forfeited in full.
- If work completed at the time of cancellation exceeds the value of the deposit, the client will be invoiced for the additional work completed at our standard hourly rate of $150/hour.
- All work completed to the point of cancellation will be delivered to the client upon receipt of any outstanding balance.
3. Monthly Retainers (Tier 2 and Tier 3)
Billing
Monthly retainers are billed in advance at the beginning of each service period. Payment is due within 5 business days of the invoice date. Services for the upcoming month will not commence until payment is received.
Minimum Commitment
All monthly retainers require a minimum 3-month commitment. This minimum exists because meaningful results in SEO, paid media, and social media require time to build. The first three months are non-cancellable and non-refundable once the engagement has begun.
Cancellation After the Minimum Period
After the initial 3-month minimum period, retainers are month-to-month. To cancel a retainer, the client must provide written notice to [email protected] at least 30 days before the next billing date. Cancellation requests received with less than 30 days notice will result in one additional month being billed.
Refunds on Monthly Retainers
Monthly retainer fees are non-refundable once a service period has begun. If Krimson Square fails to deliver the core services outlined in the signed agreement for a given month, the client may request a credit toward a future month's invoice. Credits are issued at our sole discretion and are not transferable to cash.
Pause Policy
Clients may request to pause a retainer engagement for up to 60 days once per 12-month period. Pause requests must be submitted in writing with at least 14 days notice. During a pause, no services are rendered and no fees are charged. The minimum commitment period is extended by the length of any pause.
4. Ad Spend and Third-Party Costs
Krimson Square management fees do not include advertising spend. Ad spend is paid directly by the client to Meta, Google, or other advertising platforms. Krimson Square has no control over and accepts no liability for ad spend charged by third-party platforms. Ad spend is not refundable through Krimson Square under any circumstances.
Third-party costs incurred on behalf of the client (e.g., software subscriptions, stock photography, domain registration) are non-refundable once purchased.
5. Scope Changes and Additional Work
Work performed outside the scope of the signed service agreement will be quoted separately and billed at our standard rate. Scope changes must be agreed upon in writing before additional work begins. Krimson Square reserves the right to pause work on an existing project until scope changes are formally agreed upon and any required additional deposit is received.
6. Dispute Resolution
If you have a concern about the quality of work delivered, we ask that you contact us at [email protected] before initiating a chargeback or dispute with your payment provider. We are committed to resolving issues fairly and promptly. Chargebacks filed without prior communication may result in immediate termination of services and referral to collections for any outstanding balance.
7. Returns Policy
Krimson Square provides digital services, not physical products. As such, there are no physical goods to return. All deliverables — including reports, HTML files, ad creative, written content, and strategy documents — are provided digitally. Once deliverables have been delivered and accepted, they are considered final.
If you have received a digital deliverable that is materially different from what was agreed upon in your service agreement, please contact us within 7 business days of delivery at [email protected] with a detailed description of the discrepancy. We will review your concern and work to resolve it in accordance with the terms of your service agreement.
8. How to Request a Refund or Cancel
All refund requests and cancellation notices must be submitted in writing to:
Krimson Square
Attn: Client Services
19 1/2 N 4th St, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17101
Email: [email protected]
Please include your full name, business name, the service(s) in question, and a description of your request. We will acknowledge your request within 2 business days and provide a resolution within 10 business days.
9. Changes to This Policy
Krimson Square reserves the right to update this Refund and Cancellation Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. The policy in effect at the time of your service agreement signing governs that engagement. New policies apply to new agreements entered into after the effective date of the change.
10. Governing Law
This policy is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States. Any disputes arising from this policy or your engagement with Krimson Square shall be resolved in the courts of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
