Terms of Service
Last updated: 3/1/2026
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing our website and using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.
2. Website Services & Ownership
Website Ownership Models
Websites developed by Groves Digital Marketing are serviced in two distinct ways, as agreed upon during your initial consultation:
- Built to Buy: The client purchases the website outright. Upon full payment, ownership of all design assets, code, and content is transferred to the client.
- Lease with Management Fees: The website remains the property of Groves Digital Marketing and is leased to the client. The client pays a recurring management fee for the use, maintenance, and hosting of the website.
The specific model applicable to your project is detailed in your service agreement or contract.
3. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated (as in the "Built to Buy" model), the website and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by Groves Digital Marketing and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.
4. Payment Terms
Payment terms are strictly enforced as per the service agreement. Failure to pay management fees for leased websites may result in the suspension or termination of services and website accessibility.
5. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Groves Digital Marketing, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of or inability to access or use the service.
