By working with Carylis Palacios, you agree to the terms outlined below. If something’s not in writing, it’s not part of the deal.
Scope of Work
Everything we do—services, deliverables, formats, and platforms—is defined exclusively in the Statement of Work (SOW) we mutually agree on and sign before kicking things off. No more, no less. If it’s not in the SOW, it’s not included.
Agreement
Each project includes a custom proposal and SOW that clearly outlines:
- Scope of work
- Deliverables
- Timeline
- Payment terms
- Platform access, approval, and communication workflows
Once signed, these terms are binding.
Strategy Customization
Content length, tone, format, and approach are customized based on what serves your strategy best—within the scope of the signed SOW. Creative decisions are made at our discretion unless otherwise specified.
Copywriting & Content Creation
What’s included:
- Strategy, copy, and creative content development
- Edits and revisions (as outlined in your SOW)
- Suggestions for headlines, CTAs, captions, emails, blogs, etc.
- Formatting and prep for your approved platforms
What’s not included:
- Legal review or compliance checks
- Fact-checking proprietary claims or data
- Guarantees about audience reactions or public perception
- Responsibility for third-party content accuracy (quotes, stats, testimonials, etc.)
Your responsibilities:
- Review every asset before it’s published
- Confirm accuracy, compliance, and brand alignment
- Approve final copy and creative in writing
Nothing gets published under your name or on your platforms without your explicit approval. Period. You’re the final gatekeeper. If it’s live, it’s because you signed off.
Graphic Design & Video Editing
Included:
- Captions and minimalist graphic design
- Basic design and video editing (cuts, text overlays, transitions—if defined in the SOW)
Not included:
- Advanced photo/video editing or manipulation
- Studio-style videography
- Web design or development
Your responsibilities:
- Providing original or licensed visuals (photo/video)
- Supplying pre-edited media if required
- Accepting that stock content may be used where relevant (we use royalty-free sources and are not liable for third-party copyright claims)

- Squarespace
Others may be considered with prior agreement.

If you’re using a different tool, we’ll need to confirm compatibility in advance.
Social Media Platforms Supported

- Podcast (copywriting and strategy only)
- ManyChat (automation flows for Instagram and Facebook)
Supported platforms are listed in your SOW. Anything beyond that must be discussed ahead of time.
Deliverables & Format
Unless stated otherwise, we’ll choose the delivery format and tools (e.g., Notion, Canva files, Google Docs, PDFs, Drive folders) based on efficiency and collaboration.
Billing Cycle & Contract Period
- Content planning and production starts once your billing cycle is active.
- Publishing may run past the cycle depending on scheduling.
- Either party may end the contract at any time.
Refunds and reimbursements:
- Reimbursements are handled case-by-case.
- No refunds for work already drafted, created, or delivered.
Additional Costs
You’re responsible for external or third-party costs not included in your package (e.g., paid tools, ad spend, paid stock photos).
Deadlines & Delays
- We depend on timely input, feedback, and access.
- Missed approvals, slow responses, or delayed materials from your end? That’ll delay delivery, and that’s on you.
Payment Delays
- Late payments pause all project work.
- We’re not responsible for any lost opportunities caused by your delays.
Force Majeure
We’re not liable for missed deadlines or failures caused by things outside our control—think natural disasters, internet outages, strikes, or major global events.
Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep each other’s confidential info safe. No leaks, no sharing, unless we’ve got written permission.
Portfolio Use
Unless we’ve agreed otherwise in writing, Carylis Palacios reserves the right to:
- Reference your brand
- Showcase final, public-facing work as part of her portfolio or promotional content
Intellectual Property
- All creative content remains the intellectual property of Carylis Palacios unless stated otherwise in your SOW.
- You receive a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use delivered materials as outlined in your agreement.
Dispute Resolution
In case things go sideways, both parties agree to:
- Start with a good-faith conversation
- Move to mediation or arbitration if needed
- Use legal action only as a last resort
Limitation of Liability
We’re not liable for:
- Lost profits
- Indirect or incidental damages
- Any consequences tied to how you use the content
Use it wisely.
