Terms of Service

Last updated: April 10, 2026

These Terms of Service explain how you may use the Domain Methods website and how consulting engagements with Domain Methods are generally handled. If we sign a separate statement of work, proposal, or master services agreement with you, that written agreement controls if anything conflicts with this page.

Website use

You may use this website to learn about Domain Methods, download resources, and contact us about potential work. You may not misuse the site, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, or reuse site content in a misleading way.

Consulting engagements

Domain Methods provides strategy, analytics, data, and AI-related consulting services. The exact scope, timeline, deliverables, working model, and fees for any paid engagement are defined in a separate written agreement, proposal, or statement of work.

That matters because consulting work is rarely one-size-fits-all. A two-week diagnostic, an analytics cleanup sprint, and a longer implementation engagement do not carry the same timeline, level of access, or deliverable format.

Fees, invoices, and payment

Unless we agree otherwise in writing:

• fees, billing cadence, and payment timing are defined in the applicable proposal or statement of work
• invoices are due according to the payment terms in that agreement
• late or missed payment may pause work, delivery, or future scheduling
• out-of-pocket expenses are billed only when they were approved in advance or included in the engagement terms

Discovery calls and early scoping conversations are not paid engagements unless we explicitly say otherwise.

Client responsibilities

To do good work, we need timely access to the people, systems, documents, and decisions that affect the engagement. You agree to provide reasonably accurate information and timely feedback. If key stakeholders, source systems, or approvals are unavailable, timelines and deliverables may need to change.

In plain English: when a team says “we need clean reporting in two weeks” but access to CRM logic, finance definitions, or ad platform data takes ten days to unlock, the calendar moves. That is an operating constraint, not a surprise fee tactic.

Deliverables and intellectual property

Unless a written engagement agreement says otherwise:

• Domain Methods retains ownership of its pre-existing materials, methods, frameworks, templates, code snippets, and know-how
• you own your underlying business data and materials that you provide to us
• after full payment, you may use the final deliverables created specifically for your engagement for your internal business purposes
• third-party tools, platforms, connectors, and software remain subject to their own licenses and terms

If an engagement includes shared working files, dashboards, models, or documentation, the specific ownership and reuse rights should be stated in the applicable agreement.

Confidentiality

We treat non-public business information shared during an engagement as confidential and use it only to perform the work, except where disclosure is required by law or where the information becomes public through no fault of Domain Methods.

If your procurement process requires a separate nondisclosure agreement, we can usually handle that as part of contracting.

Data handling and privacy

If you contact us, book a call, or work with us, we may receive business contact details and other information needed to evaluate or perform the engagement. Our handling of personal information on the website is described in the Privacy Policy.

Clients are responsible for ensuring they have the right to share any data, account access, or materials needed for the work. We are not responsible for restrictions or compliance obligations that were not disclosed to us before the engagement starts.

No guarantee of specific business outcomes

We provide advice, analysis, implementation support, and decision frameworks. We do not guarantee a specific revenue outcome, campaign result, cost reduction, funding event, or board decision. Good analytics work improves the quality and speed of decision-making, but it does not eliminate execution risk.

Warranties and disclaimers

The website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Domain Methods disclaims warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement unless they are expressly stated in a written agreement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Domain Methods will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from use of the website or services.

If Domain Methods is found liable for any claim arising out of a paid engagement, our total liability will not exceed the fees paid to Domain Methods for the specific services giving rise to the claim during the 3 months before the event that caused the claim, unless a different limit is stated in a written agreement.

Termination

Either party may choose not to move forward before a paid engagement begins. Once an engagement is in progress, termination, rescheduling, refunds, and any wind-down obligations are governed by the applicable written agreement.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
