Effective 23 August 2026. These terms apply to your use of this website and to any services you buy from Simple Grow Marketing.
1. Who we are
Simple Grow Marketing is a personal brand and website consultancy operated by Ashkan, based in Seattle, Washington, United States. In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Simple Grow Marketing. “You”, “your” and “Client” mean the person or business using this website or engaging our services.
You can reach us at info@simplegrowmarketing.com.
2. Using this website
By using this website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please stop using the site.
You agree not to use this website to do anything unlawful; to copy, scrape or republish our content for commercial use without written permission; to attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its systems; or to interfere with the site working properly for anyone else.
3. Our website content
Unless stated otherwise, we own or are licensed to use everything on this website, including text, layout, design, graphics, logos and downloadable resources. You may view, download and print pages for your own reference. You may not republish, sell, rent or sub-licence our material, or reproduce it substantially, without our written permission.
You may link to our pages in a fair way that does not damage our reputation or suggest an association or endorsement that does not exist. We may ask you to remove a link at any time, and you agree to do so promptly.
4. Free resources
We offer free resources such as the 10-Minute Authority Audit and the Instagram Profile Blueprint. These are provided for general information only. They are not tailored advice for your business, and downloading one does not create a client relationship between us.
5. How an engagement starts
Nothing on this website is a binding offer. A paid engagement begins only when we have agreed the scope and price in writing (by email, proposal or invoice) and you have paid the deposit or the full fee, whichever applies.
Where a written proposal or statement of work conflicts with these terms, the proposal or statement of work governs for that engagement.
6. Services and fees
Our current services and price ranges are published on the Work With Me page. Prices are in US dollars and may change at any time, but the price agreed in writing for your engagement will not change once work has begun, unless the scope changes under section 9.
Payment terms. Unless we agree otherwise in writing:
- Fixed-price projects require a 50% deposit before work begins, with the balance due on delivery and before any files, accounts or assets are handed over.
- Fixed-fee services under $200 are paid in full up front.
- Monthly retainers are billed in advance on the same date each month.
- Invoices are due within 7 days unless stated otherwise on the invoice.
Late payment. If an invoice is more than 14 days overdue we may pause all work and withhold delivery until it is paid, and we may charge interest of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by Washington law if that is lower. You are responsible for reasonable costs of recovering an unpaid invoice.
Fees do not include third-party costs such as hosting, domains, stock imagery, fonts, plugin licences or advertising spend. Where those are needed, we will tell you before they are incurred.
7. Refunds and cancellation
Free resources carry no charge and no refund.
The $149 Personalized Authority Review may be cancelled for a full refund at any time before we begin the review. Once the review has been delivered, it is non-refundable, because it is a completed piece of work.
Projects and sprints. Deposits are non-refundable, because they reserve capacity we then turn away other work to hold. If you cancel mid-project, you will be invoiced for the work completed up to the cancellation date, and any amount already paid beyond that will be refunded within 30 days.
Monthly retainers may be cancelled by either side with 14 days written notice. The current month is not refunded, and no further months are billed.
We do not offer refunds on the basis of results. See section 12.
8. What we need from you
Our work depends on your input. You agree to provide the content, access, feedback and approvals we reasonably need, within the timescales we agree.
You confirm that any material you give us — text, images, logos, video, data — is yours to use, or that you have permission to use it, and that our using it in your project will not infringe anyone else’s rights.
If a project stalls for more than 30 days because we are waiting on you, we may treat it as paused, invoice for work completed to date, and re-quote the remainder when you are ready to continue.
9. Scope and revisions
Each engagement includes the revision rounds set out in its proposal. Where no number is stated, two rounds of revisions are included.
Work outside the agreed scope — additional pages, extra deliverables, new directions after approval — is quoted separately and starts only once you approve it in writing.
10. Timelines
Any dates we give are estimates made in good faith. We will tell you promptly if a date is going to move. We are not liable for delays caused by late input from you, third-party providers, or events outside our reasonable control.
11. Ownership of what we make for you
On final payment, ownership of the final deliverables we create specifically for you — your website design, brand assets, written copy and content plans — transfers to you.
Until final payment is received, all deliverables remain our property and you have no licence to use them.
Two things do not transfer. First, we keep ownership of our own underlying tools, templates, frameworks and methods, and of anything we developed before or outside your project; you get a non-exclusive licence to use those as part of your deliverables. Second, third-party assets — fonts, stock images, plugins, themes — remain owned by their licensors and are supplied to you under their licences, not ours.
Portfolio. We keep the right to show the work we did for you in our portfolio, case studies and marketing, including on this website and on social media. If you would prefer we did not, tell us in writing and we will not.
12. No guarantee of results
We do not guarantee any specific outcome: not a level of followers, traffic, rankings, leads, sales or revenue. Marketing results depend on your market, your offer, your delivery, your consistency and platform behaviour we do not control.
Anything we share about past results, our own or others’, is an illustration of what has happened, not a promise of what will happen for you.
13. Third-party platforms
Our work often involves third-party services such as Instagram, Google, WordPress, hosting providers, email platforms and payment processors. We do not control those platforms. Their rules, pricing, availability and algorithms can change without notice, and we are not liable for changes they make, or for the suspension or loss of any account you hold with them.
14. Confidentiality
Each of us agrees to keep the other’s non-public business information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of the engagement. This does not apply to information that is already public, that we receive lawfully from someone else, or that we are required to disclose by law.
15. Disclaimers
This website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any content on it is accurate, complete or current. Nothing on this website is legal, financial, tax or professional advice.
16. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost business or lost goodwill, whether or not we were told such damages were possible.
Our total liability to you for any claim connected with an engagement is limited to the fees you actually paid us for that engagement in the three months before the claim arose.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
17. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss or cost arising from material you supplied to us, from your use of the deliverables after handover, or from your breach of these terms or of any law.
18. Ending an engagement
Either of us may end an engagement with 14 days written notice. We may end it immediately if an invoice is more than 30 days overdue, or if continuing would require us to act unlawfully or unethically.
On termination you pay for all work completed to the termination date. Sections 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 20 survive the end of an engagement.
19. Links to other websites
This website may link to sites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy or privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement.
20. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
If a dispute arises, we both agree to try to resolve it in good faith by direct discussion first. If that does not work within 30 days, the dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
21. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The version published here at the moment you engage us is the version that applies to that engagement. Changes are not applied retroactively to work already agreed.
22. General
These terms, together with any proposal or statement of work and our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us on their subject. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. Failing to enforce a term is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms without our written consent.
