- Our Search Engine Ads Service operates on two elements from a client cost factor, a service fee and a monthly budget. The service fee covers the provision of the service both from a perspective of direct CSR consultation/management and the software/reporting and provider management. This fee is non-refundable in any and all instances. The monthly budget is an amount specified by you on sign up and on update of your account. This amount specifies the value to which we can commit to the advertising service.
The service fee is paid in full for the selected term in advance of service provision. The monthly budget is paid in full for the upcoming calendar month in advance of service. Credit card details are stored securely to allow for simple and efficient pre-payment for the coming calendar month budget. Please note: As part of the ongoing account maintenance and optimisation, a 10% fee is charged on your spend budget. This fee accounts for CSR resources to manage, fine tune and optimise your account to drive better value and outcomes for your needs. The amount is automatically drawn from the chosen budget and will be reflected on invoicing and reports. Changes to the budget must be made 3 business days prior to the end of the calendar month for it to be effected towards the following month. If a change is registered less than 3 business days prior to the end of the calendar month the previous budget shall apply. If an allocated budget is not fully utilised within a calendar month, the remaining amount shall be rolled over to the following month. If you choose to alter the budget to zero, providing it complies with the above 3 business day rule, no budget will be allocated to the following calendar month and as such no roll over would be recorded. In such instances, the service fee is not refundable. If the service expires and there is funds remaining from the ultimate month of service, any roll over shall be forfeited.
