## What we don't do

- **No monthly retainers or rolling contracts.** Work is paid by the hour, by the project, or scoped to a written brief. There is no minimum commitment beyond the work itself.
- **No SLAs or guaranteed response windows.** Contact-form messages are usually replied to within a day, but this is not a written guarantee.
- **No vendor certifications claimed.** We are not a Google Partner, a Meta Business Partner, or any similar badge holder. We do the work; we do not collect logos.
- **No ongoing managed paid ad spend.** The /digital-marketing service is campaign work scoped to a written brief — building, copy, and reporting on Google Ads, Meta Ads and email campaigns. We do not act as an outsourced media buyer running monthly ad spend on a retainer.
