The Social Construct Terms and Conditions
1. Introduction
These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of social media marketing, content creation, website designing, rebranding, logo designing, and documentation designing services provided by The Social Construct ("we", "us", "our") to our clients ("you", "your"). By engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
2. Services
We offer a range of services tailored specifically to the construction industry and related sectors. Services are delivered digitally via email and other relevant platforms. For social media management, we aim to post up to five times per week on client accounts, subject to varying operational requirements.
3. Client Engagement and Payment Terms
Our services are offered on a monthly rolling contract basis for social media services, with ad-hoc project-based work available. Communication with clients is maintained through email, phone, and secure channels such as WhatsApp. Payment is required via GoCardless before any work commences. Subsequent payments are due monthly through GoCardless. Terms for ad-hoc project payments may vary and will be agreed upon separately. No work will commence until the first payment has been successfully collected.
4. Content Ownership and Use
Clients retain ownership of all content created by us. However, we reserve the right to use and showcase the content for our promotional purposes without licensing restrictions.
5. Data Protection
We commit to storing all client data securely and adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
6. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
We shall not be liable for any loss, damage, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or related to our services, including the use of any third-party apps, websites, companies, or services. This limitation of liability extends to all standard liabilities associated with providing marketing and/or social media services.
7. Termination
The monthly rolling contract for social media services may be terminated by either party with at least one month's billing cycle notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if the client wishes to pause the service at any point, this must be agreed to in writing by Us and the service will not be deemed paused unless the Client has the agreement from us. We reserve the right to reject the pausation request and instead view the request as a termination, in which case the one month’s billing cycle notice fee will be applicable and the client agrees to pay any outstanding fees including the notice period.
8. Dispute Resolution
Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Both parties agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

This includes, but is not limited to, social media posts, websites, case studies, testimonials, presentations, and any other forms of media or communication used for promotional activities. The Client agrees that We may display, reproduce, and distribute these materials without further approval, provided such use is in connection with the services provided and does not misrepresent the Client.
