Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern the services provided by Meta Business Consulting LLC (“Meta Business Consulting,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a limited liability company based in Houston, Texas, to our clients (“you” or “Client”). By engaging our services, signing a proposal or statement of work, or submitting payment, you agree to these Terms.

1. Services

Meta Business Consulting provides business-to-business music release management and marketing execution services to artist managers, record labels, and related music industry professionals. Depending on your engagement, our services may include:

• Release management — release planning, DSP setup, playlist pitching, content direction, and reporting
• Paid advertising management — campaign setup, optimization, and reporting across platforms such as Meta and Google
• Consulting and advisory services

The specific scope, deliverables, and fees for your engagement will be defined in a separate proposal, statement of work, or written agreement (“Engagement Agreement”). Where these Terms conflict with a signed Engagement Agreement, the Engagement Agreement controls.

2. Fees and Payment

Fees are billed as one-time project fees, monthly retainers, or as otherwise specified in your Engagement Agreement. Payments are processed through our third-party payment processor, Stripe. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees.

Unless otherwise stated in your Engagement Agreement:

• Retainer fees are billed monthly in advance.
• Project fees may require a deposit before work begins.
• Invoices are due upon receipt unless a due date is specified.
• Late payments may be subject to a service charge of 1.5% per month (or the maximum permitted by law) on outstanding balances.

3. Advertising Spend

Client advertising budgets (“Ad Spend”) are separate from and in addition to our service fees. Ad Spend is controlled and funded by the Client on the Client's own advertising accounts, or as otherwise agreed. We do not mark up Ad Spend. We are not responsible for the performance of third-party advertising platforms or for changes to their policies, pricing, or algorithms.

4. No Guarantee of Results

Marketing and release outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including the quality of the underlying music, market conditions, third-party platforms, and audience behavior. We do not guarantee any specific result, including streams, views, engagement, chart placement, revenue, or signing outcomes. Any figures describing past work reflect specific past campaigns and are not a promise of future performance.

5. Client Responsibilities

You agree to provide timely access to accounts, assets, approvals, and information reasonably necessary for us to perform the services. Delays in providing these may affect timelines and outcomes. You represent that you have the rights to any materials you provide to us and that our use of them will not infringe any third party's rights.

6. Intellectual Property

Each party retains ownership of its pre-existing intellectual property. Work product we create specifically for you under an Engagement Agreement becomes your property upon full payment, except for our pre-existing tools, templates, processes, and know-how, which remain ours. You grant us a limited license to use your name, logo, and campaign results for portfolio and promotional purposes unless you request otherwise in writing.

7. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other party's non-public business information confidential and to use it only in connection with the services.

8. Term and Termination

Either party may terminate an ongoing (retainer) engagement with 30 days' written notice unless the Engagement Agreement states otherwise. Fees for services performed through the effective termination date remain payable. Prepaid fees for services not yet performed will be handled as described in our Refund and Cancellation Policy.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Meta Business Consulting's total liability arising out of or related to the services will not exceed the fees you paid to us for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim during the three months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or lost-profit damages.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Meta Business Consulting harmless from claims arising out of your materials, your use of our deliverables, or your breach of these Terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent version. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance.
