LEGAL

Terms of Service

The terms that apply to this website and to work done by TJB WebMedia.

Last updated: [18/7/2026]

[DRAFT NOTE — remove before publishing]
This is a starting draft, not legal advice. TJB’s attorney must review it before publishing — particularly the payment, cancellation, liability and ownership sections, which need to match how David actually runs the business.

Agreement to these terms

These terms apply to your use of tjbwebmedia.com and to services provided by TJB WebMedia, a New Jersey SEO and web design company located at 14 Beverly Rd, Piscataway, NJ 08854.

By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you engage us for services, the written proposal or agreement we send you governs that work, and these terms apply to anything it does not cover.

Our services

TJB WebMedia provides search engine optimization, web design and development, AI search optimization, and related digital services. What is included in any engagement is set out in the proposal we send you before work starts.

No guarantee of rankings or results

This one matters, so we will be direct about it. Search engines and AI systems control their own algorithms and change them without notice. Nobody — including us — can guarantee a specific ranking, a specific amount of traffic, a specific number of leads, or that any AI system will mention your business.

What we commit to is professional, ethical work; clear reporting of what we did and what happened; and honesty when something is not working. Any agency that guarantees you page one is either misleading you or planning to do something that will hurt you later.

Your responsibilities

For us to do our job, we need you to:

  • Give us timely access to the accounts and systems the work requires
  • Provide content, approvals and feedback within a reasonable time
  • Make sure anything you give us to publish is accurate and that you have the right to use it
  • Tell us about changes to your business that affect the work

Delays in these areas will affect timelines, and in some cases results.

Fees and payment

Fees are set out in your proposal or agreement before any work begins. We do not add charges you have not agreed to.

[DRAFT NOTE — remove before publishing]
[PAYMENT TERMS NEEDED FROM DAVID: when are invoices issued, what is the payment window (net 15? net 30?), what happens if an invoice is late, is there a deposit on web design projects, are project payments milestone-based? These need to reflect reality, not boilerplate.]

Month-to-month engagements and cancellation

SEO engagements with TJB WebMedia are month to month. There is no long-term contract and no cancellation penalty.

[DRAFT NOTE — remove before publishing]
[CANCELLATION SPECIFICS NEEDED: how much notice is required to cancel — 30 days? End of the current month? What happens to work in progress and to the final invoice? State it plainly here so nobody argues about it later.]

Ownership

You own your business. That includes your domain name, your hosting account, your website and its content once paid for, your Google accounts, and your data. We do not hold any of it hostage, and if you leave, you take all of it with you and it keeps working.

We retain ownership of our own internal tools, templates, processes and know-how, and the right to describe the work in our portfolio and case studies unless you ask us not to.

[DRAFT NOTE — remove before publishing]
[PORTFOLIO RIGHTS: confirm David is comfortable with the default being "we may show the work unless you object". Some clients — particularly medical and legal — will want the opposite default.]

Third-party services

Our work often involves third-party platforms — Google, WordPress, plugins, hosting providers, review platforms. We do not control those services, their pricing, or their policies, and we are not responsible for their outages, changes or decisions.

Confidentiality

We treat what you tell us about your business as confidential, and we expect the same of anything we share with you about how we work.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by New Jersey law, TJB WebMedia is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including lost profits or lost business, arising from our services or your use of this website.

[DRAFT NOTE — remove before publishing]
[LIABILITY CAP: most agency agreements cap total liability at the amount paid over some period — commonly the last 3, 6 or 12 months of fees. The attorney should set this and confirm it is enforceable in NJ.]

Website content

The content on tjbwebmedia.com is provided for general information. We keep it accurate and current as best we can, but it is not professional advice for your specific situation, and we do not warrant that everything on the site is complete or error-free.

The content, design and code of this site belong to TJB WebMedia. You are welcome to read, share and quote it with attribution — you may not copy it wholesale and publish it as your own.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey. Any dispute will be handled in the courts of New Jersey.

[DRAFT NOTE — remove before publishing]
[DISPUTE RESOLUTION: decide with the attorney whether to require mediation or arbitration before litigation, and which county’s courts. Middlesex County would be the natural choice given the Piscataway office.]

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Questions about these terms?

Call David directly. We would rather explain something than have you guess.
