Effective: January 2025
Version: 1.0
Section 01 — Introduction

Introduction

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website and services of BV Integrated Marketing Solutions (“BVIMS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), a marketing and communications firm operating in the Republic of Cameroon.

These Terms apply to all individuals who visit our website, submit enquiries, access our content, or enter into a service relationship with BVIMS in any capacity — including prospective clients, active clients, business partners, and general website visitors.

By accessing our website or engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms in their entirety, you should discontinue use of our website and refrain from engaging our services.

These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which governs the collection and use of personal information, and any separate service agreement or contract entered into between BVIMS and a client.

Where a conflict arises between these Terms and the terms of a specific client agreement, the terms of the client agreement shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

Section 02 — Services

Services

BV Integrated Marketing Solutions provides a range of professional marketing, branding, communications, and business strategy services. The specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and commercial terms applicable to any engagement are defined in individual service agreements, proposals, or contracts entered into with each client.

Our services include, but are not limited to, the following categories:

  • Brand Positioning. Strategic development of market positioning, value propositions, and brand identity frameworks.
  • Digital Growth Systems. Design and implementation of digital lead generation, conversion, and content infrastructure.
  • Performance Marketing. Paid media strategy, campaign management, and acquisition system optimisation.
  • Corporate Communications. Narrative development, stakeholder communications, and brand voice management.
  • Market Expansion Strategy. Research-grounded planning for entry into new markets, geographies, and client segments.

No Guarantee of Business Outcomes. BVIMS provides strategic and execution-based marketing services. The delivery of services does not constitute a guarantee of specific business results, including but not limited to revenue targets, lead volumes, conversion rates, market share, or profitability. Business outcomes depend on numerous factors outside the control of BVIMS, including market conditions, client implementation, and competitive dynamics.

Section 03 — Website Use

Use of the BVIMS Website

By accessing and using the BVIMS website, you agree to use it solely for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of any third party or restrict or inhibit the use of the website by others.

The following conduct is expressly prohibited:

  • Unlawful Use. Using the website in any manner that violates applicable laws, regulations, or ordinances, including laws relating to data protection, intellectual property, or electronic communications.
  • System Interference. Attempting to gain unauthorised access to any part of the website, its servers, or any system or database connected to the website — including through hacking, password mining, or any other means.
  • Malicious Content. Transmitting or uploading any material that contains viruses, malware, spyware, or any other malicious or harmful code.
  • Data Harvesting. Collecting or extracting data from the website through automated means, including scraping, crawling, or mining, without the prior written consent of BVIMS.

BVIMS reserves the right to restrict or terminate access to the website, in whole or in part, at any time and without prior notice, at our sole discretion.

Section 04 — Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property Rights

All content published on the BVIMS website — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, data compilations, service descriptions, and structural elements — is the intellectual property of BV Integrated Marketing Solutions or its licensors, unless expressly stated otherwise.

This intellectual property is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws of the Republic of Cameroon and other applicable jurisdictions. All rights are expressly reserved.

The following uses are prohibited without the prior written consent of BVIMS:

  • Reproduction or duplication of any content from this website in any form or medium, whether digital or physical.
  • Distribution, publication, or transmission of website content to any third party without authorisation.
  • Modification or creation of derivative works based on any content from this website.
  • Commercial use of any website content, including use in advertising, presentations, or competing publications.
  • Removal or alteration of any copyright notices, attribution statements, or proprietary designations appearing on the website.

With respect to client deliverables produced under a service agreement, intellectual property ownership and licensing terms are governed by the specific provisions of the applicable client contract. Absent specific contractual provisions, intellectual property in deliverables remains with BVIMS until full payment has been received.

Section 05 — Client Responsibilities

Client Responsibilities

Where BVIMS has entered into a service agreement with a client, the client accepts the following responsibilities in order to enable effective service delivery:

Accurate Information
Clients are required to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information relevant to the engagement, including business details, target market information, brand assets, and any data required for strategy development or campaign execution. BVIMS accepts no responsibility for outcomes resulting from information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or withheld.
Timely Communication
Clients are responsible for responding to requests for feedback, approvals, and information within the timeframes specified in the service agreement or communicated by the BVIMS team. Delayed responses may affect delivery schedules and milestone completions.
Approval Processes
Where deliverables require client review and approval before publication or deployment, the client is responsible for completing such reviews within agreed timeframes. Approvals, once given, are binding. Requests for revisions following approval may be subject to additional fees as defined in the service agreement.
Access and Resources
Clients must provide BVIMS with access to all platforms, accounts, and resources necessary to deliver the agreed scope of services — including website back-end access, advertising accounts, analytics platforms, and brand asset libraries — within a reasonable period of engagement commencement.
Lawful Content
Clients warrant that all materials, content, and information provided to BVIMS for use in service delivery are lawful, do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party, and comply with applicable laws and advertising standards. Clients indemnify BVIMS against any claims arising from the use of client-supplied materials.

Impact of Client Delays. Where delays in client approvals, information provision, or resource access affect the agreed delivery schedule, BVIMS reserves the right to revise timelines accordingly. Such delays shall not constitute a failure by BVIMS to meet its contractual obligations.

Section 06 — Payment

Payment Terms

The specific payment terms applicable to any engagement — including amounts, currency, payment schedule, and invoicing arrangements — are defined in the individual service agreement or proposal accepted by the client. The following general provisions apply in the absence of or in addition to such specific terms:

Advance Payments
BVIMS may require an advance payment or initial deposit before commencing service delivery. The amount and conditions of any advance payment are specified in the service agreement. Work shall not commence until any required advance payment has been received in cleared funds.
Milestone Payments
Where a service agreement specifies milestone-based payment, each milestone payment becomes due upon completion of the corresponding phase or deliverable. BVIMS reserves the right to withhold subsequent phase commencement until outstanding milestone payments are received.
Invoice Payment Period
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are payable within the period specified on the invoice from the date of issue. BVIMS reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at a rate consistent with applicable law, and to suspend or withhold service delivery until outstanding amounts are settled.
Disputed Invoices
Any dispute regarding an invoice must be raised in writing within seven days of the invoice date, specifying the nature and basis of the dispute. Undisputed portions of an invoice remain due for payment within the standard payment period. Failure to raise a dispute within the specified period shall be deemed acceptance of the invoice.
Effect of Late Payment
BVIMS reserves the right to suspend, pause, or terminate service delivery in the event of overdue payments. Suspension of services due to non-payment does not relieve the client of obligations to pay for services already delivered or to meet any outstanding payment obligations.
Section 07 — Liability

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BV Integrated Marketing Solutions shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss or damage arising out of or in connection with:

  • The use of, or inability to use, our website or any content contained therein.
  • The performance or non-performance of any service, whether arising from contract, negligence, or otherwise.
  • Any failure to achieve specific business outcomes including but not limited to revenue generation, lead targets, conversion rates, market share, or profitability.
  • The actions or omissions of third-party platforms, tools, or services used in connection with service delivery.
  • Any interruption, delay, or deficiency in the performance of third-party digital platforms including advertising networks, social media platforms, or analytics services.
  • Any loss of data, business opportunity, revenue, or goodwill, even where BVIMS has been advised of the possibility of such loss.

Maximum Liability. Where BVIMS is found liable for any loss or damage arising from the provision of services, the maximum aggregate liability of BVIMS shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for the specific service that gave rise to the claim, as invoiced and received in the three-month period preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.

Section 08 — Confidentiality

Confidentiality

BVIMS treats all client information, business data, strategic materials, and commercially sensitive information received in connection with a service engagement as strictly confidential.

Confidential Information
Confidential information includes, but is not limited to, business strategies, financial information, market data, client lists, operational processes, project briefs, and any other information that a reasonable person would consider confidential given the nature of the disclosure.
Non-Disclosure
BVIMS will not disclose client confidential information to any third party without the express written consent of the client, except where required by applicable law, court order, or the lawful request of a competent regulatory or governmental authority. Where disclosure is legally required, BVIMS will endeavour to notify the client in advance where permitted to do so.
Internal Use Only
Confidential information is shared internally at BVIMS only on a need-to-know basis, and solely for the purpose of delivering the services for which the information was provided. Personnel with access to confidential information are subject to equivalent confidentiality obligations.
Post-Engagement Obligations
Confidentiality obligations survive the termination or expiry of any service agreement. Following the conclusion of an engagement, BVIMS will retain and protect confidential information in accordance with our data retention policy and will not use it for any purpose other than legal compliance and record-keeping.

The confidentiality obligations set out in this section apply equally to BVIMS as they apply to clients in respect of any proprietary information, methodologies, or intellectual property belonging to BVIMS that may be disclosed in the course of an engagement.

Section 09 — Termination

Termination of Services

Either party may seek to terminate a service engagement in accordance with the terms of the applicable service agreement. In the absence of specific contractual provisions, the following general terms apply:

Termination by BVIMS
BVIMS reserves the right to terminate or suspend service delivery, in whole or in part, in the following circumstances: material breach of these Terms or the service agreement by the client; non-payment or persistent late payment of invoices; provision of false, misleading, or materially incomplete information by the client; or circumstances that make continued service delivery commercially or ethically untenable.
Termination by Client
Clients may terminate a service engagement in accordance with the notice provisions and conditions specified in the applicable service agreement. Termination notices must be submitted in writing. Early termination by the client may be subject to fees or penalties as defined in the service agreement.
Outstanding Obligations
Termination of a service engagement, for any reason, does not relieve either party of obligations that arose prior to the effective date of termination. All amounts due for services delivered up to the termination date remain payable by the client. BVIMS shall deliver any completed or partially completed deliverables to the client upon receipt of all outstanding payments.
Return of Materials
Upon termination, each party will return or securely destroy confidential information belonging to the other party, subject to any legal retention obligations. BVIMS will facilitate the orderly transition of any ongoing campaigns, platform access, or active accounts to the client or a designated successor party within a reasonable period.
Section 10 — Third Parties

Third-Party Services and Platforms

In the course of delivering marketing services, BVIMS may utilise or recommend third-party tools, software platforms, advertising networks, analytics services, or digital infrastructure providers. The use of such third-party services is subject to the following terms:

  • Third-Party Terms. The use of any third-party platform or service is governed by the terms and conditions of the respective provider. Clients and website users are responsible for reviewing and complying with the terms applicable to any third-party services they use in connection with BVIMS engagements.
  • No Endorsement. Reference to any third-party service, platform, or product on the BVIMS website or in a client engagement does not constitute an endorsement of that service. BVIMS does not warrant the accuracy, reliability, or fitness for purpose of any third-party platform.
  • Third-Party Performance. BVIMS is not liable for any failure, outage, data loss, policy change, or performance issue arising from a third-party platform or service — including but not limited to advertising platforms, analytics providers, content management systems, or email marketing tools.
  • Platform Policy Changes. Where a third-party platform changes its terms, pricing, or algorithms in a manner that materially affects campaign delivery or performance, BVIMS will notify the client and propose an appropriate response. Such changes shall not constitute a breach by BVIMS of its service obligations.
  • Ad Spend. Where BVIMS manages paid advertising on behalf of a client, advertising spend is paid directly by the client or through a client-funded account. BVIMS fees for management services are separate from and in addition to any third-party advertising spend, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
Section 11 — Governing Law

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and Conditions, and any service agreement entered into between BVIMS and a client, are governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the Republic of Cameroon, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the services provided by BVIMS, or any related agreement, the parties agree to attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation in the first instance. Either party may initiate this process by delivering written notice to the other party describing the nature and basis of the dispute.

Where direct negotiation fails to resolve the dispute within a reasonable period, the parties agree to refer the matter for resolution through the appropriate judicial or arbitral mechanism available under applicable Cameroonian law.

Where BVIMS provides services to clients located outside the Republic of Cameroon, the governing law applicable to any specific engagement may be modified by express written agreement between the parties. Absent such agreement, Cameroonian law applies.

Section 12 — Updates

BVIMS reserves the right to revise or update these Terms and Conditions at any time and for any reason, including to reflect changes in our services, operating practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements.
