C. General AdWords/Facebook advertising Terms & Conditions

- By entering this Agreement with MMG you give us permission to access your Google AdWords/Facebook advertising account for the purposes of optimization and management of your online business.

- If we request more information from you for the setup of your new or existing account, MMG will not be held responsible for any delay arising from the need for further information.
- To allow us to finalize strategies started and ensure your account is not negatively affected by “half finished” optimization techniques, we require 2-weeks’ notice to cancel management and billing. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns at this time.
- MMG management (with MMG fees) is a separate service from the “per click” fees that Google AdWords/Facebook will charge you. Cancelation of your management does not automatically stop your Google AdWords advertising from running and incurring Google AdWords/Facebook “per click” fees. MMG will not be liable for any amounts that Google AdWords/Facebook charges you following the Facebook of your management with MMG PPC Management. If you wish to cease advertising online at the same time that you cancel your MMG, please notify your Client Manager in writing so that we can cancel your Google Adwords/Facebook advertising as well. Alternatively, you may choose to directly access your own Google Adwords/Facebook advertising account to arrange cancelation.
