Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of barkingbee.co and any digital marketing services provided by Barking Bee (“we,” “our,” or “us”), registered and operating out of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

By accessing our website or entering into a service engagement with Barking Bee, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our website and do not engage our services.

Barking Bee provides the following digital marketing services:

• Social Media Marketing — organic strategy, content creation, community management
• SEO & Content Strategy — technical SEO, keyword research, blog and landing page content

• Brand Strategy — positioning, messaging frameworks, visual identity direction
• Creative Production — ad creatives, reels, video, photography, design assets
• Email Marketing — ESP setup, automation flows, segmentation, campaign management

The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees for each engagement are defined in a separate Scope of Work (SOW) or proposal agreed upon in writing prior to commencement.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the following payment terms apply to all Barking Bee engagements:

• Retainer fees are due on the 1st of each month, in advance
• Project fees are structured as 50% upfront and 50% on delivery, unless agreed otherwise
• Ad spend is billed separately and must be funded by the client directly to the platform (Google, Meta)
• Invoices unpaid beyond 15 days of the due date may attract a late fee of 2% per month
• Barking Bee reserves the right to pause active campaigns if invoices remain unpaid

All prices are in Indian Rupees (INR) unless explicitly stated otherwise. GST is applicable as per prevailing Indian tax regulations and will be added to all invoices.

Our intellectual property

All proprietary frameworks, systems, templates, processes, and methodologies developed by Barking Bee remain the exclusive intellectual property of Barking Bee, regardless of whether they were used or adapted during a client engagement.

Client deliverables

Upon full payment, ownership of final creative deliverables (ad creatives, copy, design files) produced specifically for a client project transfers to the client. Raw files and working files remain the property of Barking Bee unless explicitly included in the agreed scope.

Portfolio rights

Barking Bee reserves the right to feature client work in our portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials unless the client requests otherwise in writing prior to project commencement.

To enable Barking Bee to deliver effective results, clients agree to:

• Provide timely access to platforms, accounts, and assets required for the engagement
• Supply accurate brand guidelines, approvals, and feedback within agreed timelines
• Fund ad accounts directly with agreed budgets before campaign launch
• Designate a primary point of contact for day-to-day communication
• Notify Barking Bee of any business changes that may affect campaign strategy
• Ensure that all products, services, and claims promoted comply with applicable laws

Delays caused by the client’s failure to meet these responsibilities may affect delivery timelines without constituting a breach by Barking Bee.

Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary information, business data, strategies, financial details, or client lists shared during the engagement. This obligation survives the termination of the engagement for a period of two (2) years.

Barking Bee will not disclose client data to third parties except as required to deliver the agreed services (e.g., platform access for ad management) or as required by law.

Barking Bee does not guarantee specific results, rankings, ROAS, lead volumes, or revenue outcomes from any campaign. Digital marketing performance is influenced by market conditions, platform algorithm changes, and factors outside our control.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Barking Bee’s total liability arising out of or in connection with any engagement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client in the three (3) months immediately preceding the claim.

Barking Bee is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind.

Either party may terminate a retainer engagement by providing 30 days’ written notice. Project-based engagements may be terminated subject to the payment of fees for work completed up to the termination date.

Barking Bee reserves the right to terminate an engagement immediately, without notice, if a client engages in conduct that is unlawful, abusive, or in violation of these Terms.

Upon termination, Barking Bee will transfer all client-owned assets and access credentials within 14 business days.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
