60-Day Services Agreement

Effective Date: on signing  ·  Term: 60 days from start of services.

1. Services (60-day term)

During the 60-day term, Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the following for the Client:

• Social-media management & posting on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X (Twitter) — scheduling and posting content (primarily content created and provided by CSC Innovations and/or the Client), light account upkeep, and basic community engagement, using the Client’s own accounts.
• Proofreading of the Client’s manuscript The Upright Words of the Righteous — a thorough, professional proofread to a high standard, with free correction of any errors the Client identifies within fourteen (14) days of delivery (Section 4).
• AI narration & audiobook/digital copy — sourcing an AI text-to-speech narration and producing a digital/audiobook version of the book using that narration (Section 5).
• Sales-link setup — setting up a link on the website connected to the Client’s own Stripe account so the Client can sell the digital copy (and, per below, hardcover copies) (Section 6).
• Hardcover sales link at end of term — at or around the end of the 60-day term, setting up a hyperlink on the website for hardcover sales, again through the Client’s own seller/processor account (Section 6).

After the 60-day term, Provider has no further obligation. The parties may separately discuss a new arrangement or further opportunity, which would be a new written agreement.

2. What Provider is NOT responsible for

Provider makes no guarantees and is not responsible for outcomes or results, including:

• Social-media performance — no guarantee of followers, reach, views, engagement, virality, or growth, and no responsibility for how the social media accounts or posts perform.
• Book and sales performance — no guarantee of any sales, revenue, downloads, rankings, or reviews, and no responsibility for how the book or audiobook sells or performs.
• Platforms & third-party services — no responsibility for account suspensions, bans, restrictions, removals, shadow-bans, algorithm or policy changes, outages, data loss, or pricing changes on any platform (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X), on Stripe, on any AI-narration tool, or on any hosting/domain provider.
• Sales, payments, taxes & fulfillment — the Client is the seller and merchant of record; Provider is not responsible for any sale, order, payment, refund, chargeback, tax, shipping, printing, or fulfillment of any digital or hardcover copy.

3. Client owns the accounts and cooperates

• Client owns all accounts — the social-media accounts, the Stripe account, the domain, and any other accounts are the Client’s. Client will create them (or authorize their creation) and grant Provider temporary access to perform the Services, and will change or remove that access at or before the end of the term.
• Client is responsible for compliance with each platform’s and Stripe’s Terms of Service and applicable law, and for any content the Client approves for posting or sale. Provider will use reasonable care and follow the Client’s reasonable direction.

4. Proofreading standard

Provider will perform a thorough, professional proofread of the manuscript to a high standard and will correct, at no additional charge, any error the Client identifies and reports within fourteen (14) days of delivery of the proofread. Because no human or tool can guarantee a text is perfectly free of every conceivable error, this is a diligent best-effort professional service, not an absolute guarantee of perfection; Provider’s only obligation for any error is to correct it under this Section, and Provider has no other liability for typographical or similar errors.

5. AI narration & audiobook — rights

6. Sales links — Client is the seller

Any sales link (digital or hardcover) will be connected to the Client’s own Stripe and/or seller account. The Client is the seller and merchant of record and is solely responsible for pricing, taxes, payment processing, refunds, chargebacks, order fulfillment, printing, shipping, customer service, and all legal compliance of any sale. Provider only performs the technical setup and is not a party to any sale.

7. Client Materials, Rights & Indemnification

• Client warrants that it owns or has all necessary rights and licenses to the book, its text, any lyrics, music, audio, images, and artwork, and to everything posted or sold, and authorizes Provider to use them to perform the Services.
• Client will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Provider from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the Client’s content, book, business, sales, social-media posts, conduct, legal violations, or breach of this agreement.

8. Limitation of Liability; “As Is”

• The Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” with all warranties (merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement) disclaimed.
• Provider will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost sales, lost data, or loss of goodwill, even if advised of the possibility.
• Provider’s total cumulative liability for any and all claims under this agreement will not exceed the total fees actually received by Provider for these Services.

9. Independent Contractor

Provider is an independent contractor, not an employee, partner, or agent of the Client or of CSC Innovations. Provider controls the manner and means of performing the Services and is responsible for her own taxes. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.

10. Payment

Provider’s Services are part of the combined $1,700 one-time fee for this 60-Day Services Agreement and the separate CSC Innovations Website & Content Agreement, due in full upon signing and collected by CSC Innovations in a single Stripe payment, from which Provider’s portion is paid. Services begin after payment is received. Fees are non-refundable once services have begun.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate with written notice. On termination, Client pays for all services performed to that date. Provider will return or remove access to the Client’s accounts.

12. Confidentiality

Provider will protect the Client’s non-public information and account credentials with reasonable care and use them only to perform the Services.

13. Entire Agreement

This agreement is the full understanding between Sheila Foley and the Client as to its subject matter and supersedes prior discussions; changes must be in writing and signed by both parties. Governed by the laws of the State of North Dakota.
