Terms of Service

IKR Media · Last updated October 2026

This page explains what each IKR Media service includes, what we ask of you, and how billing and cancellation work. Find your service below. By subscribing to or using a service, you agree to the terms that apply to every service and to your service's own section.

Terms that apply to every service

Billing

Monthly plans renew automatically each month until you cancel. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice before any price change. If a service's own section below says something different, that section applies.

If a payment is missed

It happens. Cards expire. If a payment fails, we'll let you know and retry automatically over the next 14 days. If it's still unpaid after that, we may pause your service until the balance is paid. Site Care has additional steps, explained in its section.

Cancelling

You can cancel anytime through the client portal or by contacting our support team. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

Refunds

Fees for a billing period that has already started aren't refunded, and one-time setup fees aren't refunded once work begins. Exceptions are stated in a service's own section (for example, annual Site Care plans) or agreed with you in writing.

No guarantees

We can't promise specific results, such as revenue, lead volume, rankings or conversion rates. Results depend on things like how you use the service, the quality of your data, your lead sources, market conditions and whether the law is followed.

What we ask of every client

  • Give us accurate information and keep it current.
  • Get proper consent from your own contacts before we message them for you.
  • Follow the laws that apply to your messages and data, including TCPA, CAN-SPAM and California privacy laws.
  • Use our systems ethically and legally.

What you can't use our services for

You may not use our services to send spam or unsolicited messages, break privacy or consumer protection laws, engage in fraud or deception, or send malicious code or content.

Suspension and ending service

We may pause or end a service for non-payment, breaking these terms, abuse of system resources, or legal or compliance concerns. If a violation is serious, we may end service immediately and without a refund.

What we own

The workflows, templates, systems and materials we build or use remain the property of IKR Media, LLC unless we agree otherwise in writing. Your content, domain, accounts and customer lists stay yours.

Limits of responsibility

We work hard to deliver every service well, but some things are outside our control, such as outages at third-party providers, problems caused by third-party services, and changes made by you or someone you've given access to. To the maximum extent permitted under California law, IKR Media, LLC isn't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, and our total responsibility is limited to the fees you've paid for the current billing period.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Changes to these terms

If we update these terms, we'll post the new version here and let you know by email if anything important changes. Continuing to use a service after a change means you accept it.

Site Care

IKR Media keeps your website fast, safe and up to date so you can focus on running your business. This section explains what we take care of, what we ask of you, and how things work if plans change.

Every plan includes uptime monitoring. Care-only plans include the same care for a site hosted somewhere else (see below).

What we take care of

  • Keeping WordPress, your theme and plugins updated on your plan's schedule.
  • Backing up your site daily and restoring it if something goes wrong.
  • Watching for downtime and security threats, and acting on them.
  • Answering your questions and fixing problems within your plan's response time.
  • Being honest with you about what something will take before we start.

What we ask of you

  • Keep your contact and billing details current so we can reach you.
  • Tell us before you install plugins or make big changes, so we don't undo each other's work.
  • Keep your own copies of important content, like photos and documents you can't replace.
  • Use your website legally and within the guidelines below.

Edits and fair use

Plus includes up to 60 minutes of edits each month, such as text changes, swapping images or small layout tweaks. Unused time doesn't carry over. Premium includes unlimited small edits: we work on one request at a time, and each takes under 30 minutes. New pages, redesigns, new features and larger projects are quoted separately, and we'll always tell you before any extra cost.

What we can't host

To protect every site on our servers, we don't host sites that sell or promote illegal goods or services, weapons, drugs or other high-risk products; that publish adult, hateful, harassing or misleading content; that send spam or distribute malware; or that infringe someone else's copyright or trademark. If a site breaks these guidelines, we'll contact you first. We may suspend it if it isn't resolved within 48 hours, or right away if it's putting other sites or visitors at risk.

Things outside our control

We work hard to keep your site running, but some things are beyond our reach: outages at our hosting provider or internet providers, problems caused by third-party plugins or services, changes made by you or someone you've given access to, and content older than your plan's backup history. We'll always help you recover, but we aren't responsible for lost revenue or other losses from these events. Our total responsibility is limited to the fees you've paid for the current billing period.

Your domain

One standard domain (like .com or .net) is included while you're subscribed. It's registered in your name, so it's always yours. We manage the renewals and settings for you. Premium or additional domains are billed at cost. If your plan ends for any reason, your domain stays registered to you until its current registration end date. Up to 30 days before that date, you can either transfer it to your new provider (we'll help) or keep it with us for $25 a year. If we don't hear from you by then, the domain won't be renewed.

If your site is hosted elsewhere (care-only plans)

We'll install our backup, security and monitoring tools on your site. Your hosting company is responsible for its servers, outages and server-level issues, and we'll work with them when needed. If you move your hosting to us, we'll waive the setup fee.

Billing

Monthly plans have a one-time $149 setup fee that covers moving your site in and getting everything set up. Annual plans have no setup fee and include two months free. Plans renew automatically until you cancel. Annual plans can be refunded within the first 30 days; after that, they run to the end of the term. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice before any price change.

If a payment is missed

If a payment fails, we'll let you know and retry automatically over the next 14 days while your site stays live. If it's still unpaid after 14 days, we'll pause your site until the balance is paid and a $35 reactivation fee applies. If it's unpaid 30 days after that, your plan is cancelled and your site and backups are deleted. Your domain stays yours; see "Your domain" for what happens next.

If you need to leave

You can cancel anytime. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. On request, we'll give you a full backup of your site, and your domain follows "Your domain" above. After cancellation, we keep your site and backups for 30 days, then delete them.

Local Visibility Boost

What's included

  • Google Business Profile setup and monthly updates, so you show up in local searches.
  • Onsite search settings and directory listings, set up in your first month.
  • A free-consultation booking page, so new inquiries can book with you easily.

What we ask of you

  • Keep manager access to your Google Business Profile and website available to us while your plan is active.
  • Keep your contact and business details current.
  • Please don't send private health or financial information through forms, texts or email.

Results

Search visibility builds gradually. We can't guarantee rankings, calls or new clients.

Billing

Local Visibility Boost is $197 per month, with no setup fee and no long-term contract. It renews monthly until you cancel.

If you leave

You can cancel anytime, effective at the end of your current billing period. Your Google Business Profile, website and listings stay yours. We'll stop work and remove our access when your plan ends.

Google Business Profile Management

What's included

  • Setup and optimization of your Google Business Profile: business details, categories, services, description and photos.
  • Ongoing management, including profile updates, posts, and monitoring of questions and reviews.
  • Reporting on how your profile is performing.

The exact scope for your plan is listed on your proposal or order form. Some of the work may be carried out by trusted providers working under our direction.

What we ask of you

  • Keep manager access to your Google Business Profile available to us while your plan is active.
  • Keep your business details, hours, services and photos current, and tell us about changes.
  • Please don't send private health or financial information through forms, texts or email.

Results

Search visibility builds gradually and depends on many things we don't control, including Google's rules and your competitors. We can't guarantee rankings, calls or new clients. Google can change or suspend a profile at its own discretion.

Billing

Current pricing, and any one-time setup fee, is shown on your proposal or order form. The service renews monthly until you cancel.

If you leave

You can cancel anytime, effective at the end of your current billing period. Your Google Business Profile stays yours. We'll stop work and remove our access when your plan ends.

Domain Names

What's included

  • Registration, renewal and settings management for your domain name (like .com or .net).
  • Help pointing your domain to your website, email and other services.
  • Help transferring your domain to or from another provider.

Your domain stays yours

Domains are registered in your name, and you're the owner. We manage renewals and settings for you.

What we ask of you

  • Keep your contact details accurate. Domain rules require a working owner contact, and an invalid contact can cause a domain to be suspended.
  • Tell us before you move or change your domain or its settings.

Billing and renewal

Current domain pricing is shown on your order or available on request at [email protected]. Domains renew automatically each year until you cancel, and we'll remind you before renewal. If a renewal payment fails, we'll retry. If it can't be paid before the registry's deadline, the domain may expire, and recovery may cost extra.

If you leave

Your domain stays registered to you until its current registration end date. Up to 30 days before that date, you can transfer it (we'll help) or keep it with us for the yearly fee shown on your order or available on request. If we don't hear from you by then, the domain won't be renewed. Domains included with Site Care follow "Your domain" in the Site Care section.

Things outside our control

Domain registries and registrars set their own rules, deadlines and fees. We aren't responsible for the loss of a domain caused by expired payment details, inaccurate contact information, or the actions of a registry or anyone else.

WordPress Hosting

What's included

  • Secure hosting for your WordPress site, with SSL and a CDN.
  • Daily backups, kept for the period shown on your plan.
  • Uptime monitoring.
  • WordPress, theme and plugin updates and support come with Site Care. Hosting on its own doesn't include them.

What we ask of you

  • Keep your contact and billing details current.
  • Tell us before you install plugins or make big changes.
  • Keep your own copies of important content, like photos and documents you can't replace.
  • Use your site legally and within the guidelines in "What we can't host" under Site Care.

Fair use

Hosting is for typical small-business websites. If your traffic or storage use would affect other sites on our servers, we'll contact you to talk about a plan that fits.

Billing

Current pricing is shown on your proposal or order form. Plans renew automatically until you cancel. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice before any price change.

If a payment is missed

The steps under "If a payment is missed" in the Site Care section apply: retries over 14 days while your site stays live, then a pause with a reactivation fee, and cancellation with deletion of the site and backups 30 days after that.

If you leave

You can cancel anytime, effective at the end of your current billing period. On request, we'll give you a full backup of your site. After cancellation, we keep your site and backups for 30 days, then delete them.

Things outside our control

Outages at our hosting or internet providers, third-party plugins or services, changes made by you or someone you've given access to, and content older than your backup history are beyond our control. Our responsibility is limited as described in "Limits of responsibility" in the terms that apply to every service.

Platform services (CRM, automation, messaging and AI)

This section applies if you use an IKR Media platform account for CRM, automation, texting, email, calling or AI features.

What's included, and what's usage-based

Your subscription covers the core platform workflows, AI infrastructure and pipeline databases at a flat rate. Phone, email delivery, validation and AI processing are billed by use and charged to your account's digital wallet.

Your digital wallet

To keep automated workflows, AI features, outbound calls and text campaigns running, keep a positive balance in your account's digital wallet. The wallet recharges automatically when the balance falls below a set amount, typically $10.00.

Typical usage rates (United States and Canada)

  • Text messages: approximately $0.012 per message segment, sent or received.
  • Email: approximately $1.01 per 1,000 emails successfully sent.
  • Outbound calls: approximately $0.021 per connected minute.
  • Inbound calls: approximately $0.013 per connected minute.
  • Email verification: approximately $3.75 per 1,000 addresses checked.

These are estimates for planning. Carrier pass-through changes, international routing and regulatory fees can move actual rates slightly. Continuing to use the communication tools means you accept these usage rates.

Usage limits

Accounts may have limits, or extra fees, for contacts, message volume (text and email), automation runs and user access. If you go over, we may charge extra fees, restrict the service or ask you to upgrade.
