Terms of Service
Last updated: July 2026
1. Services
The Church CMO provides outsourced marketing and growth services to churches and religious organizations. Specific services, deliverables, and pricing are defined in a separate service agreement signed by both parties prior to engagement.
2. Payment Terms
Services are billed monthly in advance. All plans are month-to-month unless otherwise agreed in writing. A one-time onboarding fee is due before services begin. Ad spend budgets are paid directly to the advertising platforms by the client and are not included in monthly service fees.
3. Cancellation
Either party may cancel services with 30 days written notice. Work completed prior to cancellation is non-refundable. We do not charge early termination fees.
4. Intellectual Property
Content and creative assets created by The Church CMO on behalf of a client are owned by that client upon full payment for the month in which they were created. Strategy documents, templates, and internal processes remain the intellectual property of The Church CMO.
5. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary business information shared during the engagement. This includes church financial data, attendance records, and strategic plans.
6. Limitation of Liability
The Church CMO is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from our services. Our maximum liability is limited to fees paid in the 30 days prior to any claim. We make no guarantees of specific attendance or revenue outcomes, as these depend on factors outside our control.
7. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes shall be resolved in San Diego County, California.
