Terms of Service

These terms apply to your use of 1000islandsmarketing.com and to the Market Pain Test. By using this website or asking for a Market Pain Test, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1000 Islands Marketing is a sole proprietorship registered in Ontario, Canada, owned and run by Sarah Ovington. In these terms, "I" and "me" mean Sarah Ovington, doing business as 1000 Islands Marketing, and "you" means you and the business you represent.

1. Using this website

You may use this website to learn about my services and to contact me. Please do not misuse it, for example by trying to break its security, sending spam through the form, or copying its content to pass it off as your own.

The content on this site, including text, images and examples, belongs to me or is used with permission. You may share links to it, but please do not copy or reuse it without my written permission.

The information on this site is general information about my services. It is not professional advice for your specific business.

This site may link to other websites, such as Meta. I am not responsible for their content or how they handle your information.

2. The Market Pain Test

The Market Pain Test is a short message test using small Facebook and Instagram ads. These terms apply to it:

• It runs in your own ad account. The test runs in your own Facebook ad account and Page. You give me partner access so I can set it up, run it and report on it. You can remove that access at any time.
• You pay the ad spend directly to Meta. The ad spend (usually around $35) is charged by Meta to the payment method on your own ad account. I do not handle that money. I will tell you the planned amount before anything goes live, and nothing runs until you say yes. Meta's final charge can differ slightly from the planned amount, and Meta's own terms apply to your ads and billing.
• No fee for my time. I do not charge for my time on the Market Pain Test.
• No obligation. You do not have to buy anything or continue after the test.
• You approve the ads. I will share the ads with you before they run. You are responsible for making sure any claims about your business, products or services are true, and that you are allowed to make them. Meta may reject or limit ads under its own rules, which I do not control.
• I may decline or stop a test. I may decline to run a test, or stop one, at my discretion, for example if the business is not a good fit, the ads would break Meta's rules or the law, or the account is not in good standing.
• You own your account and your data. Your ad account, Page, ads, audience and results stay yours. I do not take ownership of any of them.
• No guaranteed results. A test shows which messages people clicked on during the test. It does not promise sales, leads or any other result.
• Using your results. I will only share your results publicly, even in anonymized form (with your name and business details removed), if you give me your written consent first. You can say no, and it will not affect our work.

3. The Message Foundations Program and other paid work

The Message Foundations Program, and any other paid work, is covered by a separate written agreement between you and me. That agreement sets out the scope, price, payment and cancellation terms. If it conflicts with these terms, the separate agreement wins for that work. Ad spend for any program is paid by you in your own ad account.

4. No guarantees of results

Advertising and testing involve things I cannot control, such as your market, your offer, your follow-up, your competitors and Meta's systems. I do not guarantee any particular result, including sales, leads, clicks, costs or return on ad spend. Examples on this site show real past work, shared with permission. They are not a promise that you will get the same results. Individual results vary.

The decisions you make based on a test or program are yours.

5. Limitation of liability

I provide this website and my services with care, but "as is", without promises beyond those written in these terms or in a separate written agreement.

To the fullest extent allowed by law:

• I am not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits, lost revenue, lost data or business interruption, arising from your use of this website, the Market Pain Test or my services;
• I am not responsible for Meta's actions, such as ad rejections, account restrictions, outages, or how Meta charges your ad spend; and
• my total liability for any claim relating to this website or the Market Pain Test is limited to the amount you paid me for it (the Market Pain Test has no fee for my time). For paid work, the limit in your separate agreement applies.

Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have that cannot be limited by law.

8. Changes to these terms

I may update these terms from time to time. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. The version in place when you use the site or start a test is the one that applies.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Any dispute will be handled by the courts of Ontario, unless the law where you live gives you the right to use your local courts.

If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest still applies.
