Thank you for considering the marketing and website packages for your business with Shark Jockey Digital. Services provided can include a range of digital applications, such as digital marketing, website design, SEO, social media, landing pages, videography, graphic design, and business consulting. While some companies seek a one-time custom solution to their problem(s), most businesses prefer having experts available to them each month, who know and understand their specific industry and goals.
Shark Jockey strives to provide businesses with these services through unique Managed Marketing Programs. By doing so, we are able to offer a range of services powered by various experts on multiple teams. Rather than paying a high amount for just one expert, we are able to draw on knowledge and proven results from multiple businesses to help provide solutions.
Shark Jockey is owned and managed by Nick Stover, a former Chief Operating Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, General Manager, and Social Media Director for multiple companies. Nick’s career includes over 20 years of personal experience in marketing, advertising, sales, website creation, business development, and digital applications. His network provides an incredible opportunity for clients to gain agency-quality experience and production from experts who power many of the largest and fastest growing businesses in North America.

I further acknowledge that if Shark Jockey Digital determines additional work not documented in the Statement of Work is needed, the cost will be impacted. I will however have the opportunity to review and approve these changes prior to Shark Jockey Digital moving forward.

It is also understood that it is not possible for Shark Jockey to guarantee that every user will have the exact same experience due to a variety of factors including but not limited to Internet speed, browser updates, device optimizations, screen size, and more.
A standard 30-day support window is provided as part of this project following the website launch in order to assist with minor changes to content or optimization improvements. Changes requiring website redesign, graphic design, and functionality that may require more than 1 hour of work will require additional project scopes and proposal options. Shark Jockey Digital will do everything possible to build you an amazing marketing plan and assets, but we (Nick Stover and associates) accept no liability for your sales, revenue, and/or the success of your website, business, marketing plans, or assets directly, indirectly, or consequentially. We do not test, change, endorse, or certify claims, products, slogans, branding, marks or statements. All language used on physical or digital materials and the website, their originality, and legal use is guaranteed by the client, NOT Shark Jockey Digital.

Claims made online or in other places, products, sales, slogans, content, and other materials are still the sole responsibility of the majority owner and/or client.

Please click below to view the official Terms and Conditions clients agree to when signing with Shark Jockey Digital. By signing this document, and/or, submitting payment to Shark Jockey Digital through digital platforms, cash, or check, the business, person, or paying party agrees to these terms and conditions.*
https://sharkjockey.com/terms-and-conditions/
Concerns related to arbitration have not occurred in Shark Jockey’s past, however Shark Jockey utilizes the services of multiple legal and insurance teams each year. In the event of a dispute, Shark Jockey is prepared to show evidence of all agreements, terms, services, work and communication. Shark Jockey never wants to utilize court, jury trials, or class actions and prefers clients communicate any issues openly so that fair “makegoods” can be provided if necessary and all parties can avoid unnecessary fees, frustration, and hostility.
It is in the best interest of our clients, Shark Jockey, and its representatives, for Shark Jockey to do everything possible to show a willingness to go above and beyond for clients whenever possible. Clients of Shark Jockey agree to all Terms of Service when they sign the Proposal or submit payment to Shark Jockey through cash, check, or the online payment platform. These Terms of Service are described in detail for anyone to review at any time by following the link below.*
https://sharkjockey.com/terms-of-service/
*Shark Jockey does not intend at any time to trick or lock clients into unnecessary or hidden long-term contracts. Details about the length of the agreement will always be provided on the Proposal or Invoice submitted to clients for review. Any reference to contract length in the links above are intended as a precaution and example, NOT as a means of locking clients into agreements they no longer wish to partake in. If clients desire to end agreements at any time, that is possible as long as costs for resources, time, and labor are fairly rewarded in a reasonable manner. Meaning, Shark Jockey will always ask clients to cover the third party and / or hard costs incurred on their behalf, regardless of if the client wishes to end a program early or not. This is because, in order to get the best price for clients, Shark Jockey often commits to long-term contracts on behalf of clients. These cannot be broken (and are often regulated by additional legal agreements Shark Jockey enters), but that is due to the third party’s rules and Shark Jockey’s attempt to help clients, NOT because Shark Jockey is attempting to gain profit unfairly. If clients wish to end agreements early, Shark Jockey will typically accept a loss in regards to the unrealized profit that may have occurred if the client were to remain a happy customer. This is extremely rare, but if it occurs, details and arrangements are considered on a case by case basis. This statement is an attempt to offer open and honest transparency from the beginning of any agreement so that clients understand their rights and never feel as though they are trapped in a relationship they do not want. Divorces happen in life and in business. We are prepared to handle these professionally if they occur, fight for our rights (and yours) if needed, and most importantly keep lines of communication open at all times.
