Unbound Terms & Conditions
At Unbound, we like to make our conditions transparent as possible, so our terms are set out in three easy sections:
- Main Terms;
- Our General Terms – these apply to all our Services (see clauses 4 onwards below); and
- Our Service Specific Terms – these apply only to those Specific Services which you elect to
purchase in addition to the Base Service (see Part C below).

- Your term: If you have purchased any of our Products or Services, then you agree to purchase those Services for a minimum contract term (as specified in the quote or agreement). After the minimum contract term, you may request to cancel in writing and we will terminate the contract after one full billing cycle (typically 30 days).

If the breaching party fails to remedy that breach within that period then the other party may immediately, at any time afterwards, terminate this agreement by sending written notice of termination to the breaching party. Non-payment by you as customer of any sum due and payable to us will be deemed to be “material”.
- Suspension by us: We may suspend the provision of any Services to you immediately at any time if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that a breach of this agreement has occurred or is likely to occur.

- After termination: If this agreement terminates for any reason:
- We will cease performing any further Services for you;
- Each party will retain the rights and obligations it had under this agreement as at termination, including your obligation to pay us all current and future amounts due under all Agreements or Sales Orders for the remainder of the Term that would have applied under clause 20 below; except in the case of a material breach, which will follow the process set out in clause 9 above. In this situation, all current spend, and spend during the remedy and written notice period, will be payable.

This includes but is not limited to: website FTP access, Google Ads account, Facebook Ads account, Facebook Page access, LinkedIn Ads account, Google Search Console, Google Tag Manager, Google My Business, Google Analytics, and Website login.

Provision of Services by Unbound
- Unbound advertising campaign: Our rights: In relation to any of our Services, we may do one or more of the following at any time:
- Ask you to amend (or we may amend) any aspect of Your Content so that it complies with advertising standards or so that it otherwise complies with our Production Specifications and other requirements;
- Determine the category or categories within which Your Content will appear within our Services;
- Determine the placement of Your Content within those categories (and in relation to the placement of third-party advertisements or other content within those categories);
- Ask you to substantiate any claims about your business, organisation, products or services that you make in Your Content;
- Revise any aspect of Your Content to meet the requirements of Facebook, Google or any other third-party platform provider;
- Refuse to accept or publish (or cancel or remove) Your Content if there is a failure to comply with this clause or this agreement at any time; or
- Engage any third-party supplier to supply or assist us with supplying some or all the relevant Service to you if we remain liable to you always, and although we will endeavor to contact you in advance, we may need to do any of the above things without prior notice to you.
Price and Payment
- Price: The Price for the Services you purchase will be as stated in the Quote, Agreement or Sales Order we provide to you. You will be deemed to have accepted a Quote, Agreement or Sales Order if you use the relevant Service as stated in the Quote, Agreement or Sales Order. You agree to pay us the Prices as stated in that Quote, Agreement or Sales Order, on time in accordance with clause 8. All Prices and any other fees and charges are in New Zealand dollars and exclude GST unless we state otherwise in the relevant Quote, Agreement or Sales Order. You must pay us all applicable GST at the same time the Price is due for payment.
- Variable prices/third-party pricing: Some Services (such as Facebook and Google advertising) may use a variable pricing model. Those (or other) third parties we engage with as part of the Services you have purchased may vary their prices and other charges to us in any way from time to time. This is outside our control and as such we will be entitled to charge you for all such third-party price variations, and you agree to pay such charges.
- Suspension request: You may request that one or more of the Services you are purchasing be suspended for a limited period and restarted without incurring an additional set up charge. All such requests are subject to our prior written approval, which may or may not be provided (at our discretion) or with conditions attached. Even if approved, some payments by you may still need to continue for that Service, which we will outline at that time.
- Non-standard rates (discounts): If we have agreed in our Quote, Agreement or Sales Order to charge you a fixed price (or a non-rate card price) for a defined period, then, at the end of the applicable period, and for the remainder of your current Term and any renewed Term, you will be charged full rate card price for that Service. The maximum period available for non-standard or discounted prices is 12 months.
- Payment: The required method of payment or any payment options available will be set out in your Quote, Agreement or Sales Order. If a Service uses an upfront payment model, you will be charged the entire amount for that Service in advance. If a Service uses a subscription payment model, you will be charged in regular instalments for that Service. Instalments are usually monthly (payable in advance), but sometimes other periods are available as may be set out in the Quote, Agreement or Sales Order. Subscription amounts are payable for each period in advance, from the day of the Accepted Quote, Agreement or Sales Order being signed, and then on the same date each month afterwards. The first payment is generally taken within 48 hours of signing the Quote, Agreement or Sales Order, and we will not be required to start performing the relevant Service(s) until the first (or only) advance payment has been received by us in respect of that Service.
- Default: All amounts due and payable by you must be paid in full without set-off, counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever on or before that due date. If any payment due remains unpaid after its due date, we may invoke any of our rights under clauses 21 and 22, and we may also charge you interest at the rate of 18% (eighteen percent) per annum on all sums overdue, from the due date to the date all such amounts are paid in full. We will also be entitled to charge you for all our costs of recovery, including our legal fees. You also agree to pay any costs of recovery including legal fees that are charged by our Debt Recovery Agency should the amount outstanding be passed to an agency for recovery. You also accept that this may affect your credit rating for up to a minimum of 5 years.
- Invoices: We will send you an electronic invoice by email for all amounts we are entitled to invoice you for.
- These invoices will be due on the Invoice Due Date as per our agreement (typically 7 days from invoice date or the next 20th of the month).
- Payment of invoices will be via credit card payment or direct debit as arranged on the Agreement, unless otherwise specifically stated or arranged prior.

- Security: Our Digital Products are supplied using some of the latest technology, including in relation to the security of the data you supply to us. However, as many of our Services are supplied using the Internet, and as the Internet is widely acknowledged as being insecure, we are unable to guarantee that all your data as supplied to us will be kept safe and secure all the time even though we will use all reasonable endeavors to do so, and will comply with the applicable law in this regard too.

Google Advertising (Google Ads Search, Google Ads Display, Google Ads Video)
Note: The terms below are in addition to those terms in Parts A and B above:
What we’ll provide:
- We’ll set up your Google Ads and/or Google Display and/or YouTube advertising campaigns.
- We will set up conversion tracking which means we will create a Google Tag Manager (GTM) code and a Google Analytics code if you don’t already have one (This may be an additional charge).
- Once your advertising campaign is up and running, we’ll then modify and optimise it as the campaign runs, to try to deliver the best traffic for your spend.
- All results are available by checking your monthly Report.
- We’ll do our best to keep you notified of any changes or instructions from Google that affect you, but you agree that we’re not responsible for any of Google’s decisions or the way Google runs the Google Ads programme. While we will do our best to optimise your results, we can’t guarantee your Google Ads search position or the number of clicks, impressions, leads, that a campaign delivers.
What you need to do:
- If you already have Google Analytics, we need admin access to link your Google Ads account to your Google Analytics account.
- You are only allowed one Google Ads account (which includes Google Ads search, Google Ads display or Google Ads for video) at any one time. So, you can’t sign up to our service if you already have a Google Ads account that is currently active.
- You need to be aware of and agree that we need to pass certain information about you on to Google. This includes the information in the signup form, as well as your name, email, address and other contact information that we already hold about your business. By signing up, you agree that we can do this. We’ll also keep a copy of this information in accordance with our privacy and security policy.

This includes things like: a. not advertising anything illegal. b. granting Google the right to use your name and trademarks to advertise your business. c. complying with Google’s Editorial Guidelines, Trademark Guidelines and other policies (these are also available at https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/). This includes Google’s rules on advertising alcohol, gambling, fireworks and other restricted products and Services.
- You need to be aware Google also has rules about the content of any advertisement, and has a general right to reject or remove any advertisement, and update or change the Google Ads programme at any time. And if Google tells us to do something, we will do it.
Ownership
- Unlike many other Google Ad Agencies, You “own” your Google Ads account. If you no longer want a Google Ads advertising campaign from Unbound, we can transfer your Google Ads account to you.
Charges
- Your monthly management fee that we charge for setting up and managing your Google Ads advertising campaign. The rate we charge is based on our current rates. Therefore if for whatever reason you decide to increase or decrease your Google Ads budget this will impact your monthly management fee. If you are overspending your Google Ads Budget by more than 10% for 3 consecutive months your monthly management fee will be increased to the corresponding price band.
- Your monthly Google Ads budget covers the amount we pay to Google. Please note: While we make best efforts to manage the campaign in line with your monthly Google Ads budget, the exact spend with Google Ads over any month will vary depending on the market conditions. In the event of over/underspend we will endeavor to adjust the spend accordingly to compensate. This spending adjustment will have a short-term impact on performance. You agree to these service specific conditions.
- Your monthly Google Ads budget will be paid direct to Google via your nominated credit card or via invoicing if arranged prior with Google.
- If you select one of our Unbound Plans (Starter Plan, Growth Plan, Bespoke Plan), then all setup costs and services to track conversions (call tracking, Google Analytics conversion tracking setup) are incorporated into the plan. These setup costs are spread over the length of the 12 month term of the plan. If you terminate the Plan before the end of the 12 month term there is a cancellation fee. If you have also opted for the custom landing page option there is an additional cancellation fee. Upon completion of the 12 month term all plans automatically revert to a month to month rolling contract with cancellation terms covered above.
Please note:
- While we make best efforts to manage the campaign in line with your budget, the exact spend with Google over any month will vary depending on the market conditions and the number of days in a month. In the event of over/underspend we will endeavor to adjust the spend accordingly to compensate. This spending adjustment will only have a short-term impact on performance.
- Unbound might not be able to provide your Google Ads advertising campaign for the full period. For example, Google might terminate the programmed part way through a contracted term. If this happens the full monthly fee will still be due.
Unbound Call Tracking
