Tinko Projects — Terms of Service
These terms cover every service I offer. Part A applies to Google Review Management, Part B to one-time projects (websites, online booking and quotes, AI assistants and automations) and their monthly plans, and Part C to everything.
Part A — Google Review Management
1. What's included
- Replies to every new Google review within 2 business days, written in your business's voice.
- In the first month, replies to the reviews from the last 90 days that don't have one yet.
- Replies to 1- and 2-star reviews are sent to you for approval before they're posted. During the first week, every reply is sent for approval.
- A short monthly report: new reviews, replies posted and your current rating.
- Replies in Spanish when a review is written in Spanish.
2. What's not included
- Removing reviews. Only Google can remove a review. If a review clearly breaks Google's policies, I can report it, but there's no guarantee it will be taken down.
- Writing reviews, buying reviews, offering incentives for reviews, or asking only happy customers for reviews. These go against Google's rules and U.S. law.
- Other platforms (Yelp, Facebook, etc.), unless we agree on it in writing.
3. Your part
- Add me as a Manager on your Google Business Profile. You stay the owner at all times: a Manager can't remove your profile, add or remove people, or take ownership, and you can remove my access anytime.
- Fill out the short onboarding form so replies sound like you.
- Let me know about sensitive situations (legal disputes, injuries, health or safety complaints, refund disputes). I won't reply to those without your approval.
4. How replies are written
- Replies never share a customer's personal information, never admit legal fault, and never promise refunds or discounts on your behalf.
- Complaints are acknowledged and taken offline, with the contact method you choose.
- You can edit or delete any reply at any time.
5. Price and payment
- The monthly fee agreed by email, in U.S. dollars, billed in advance on the same day each month.
- Founding rates stay the same for as long as your subscription is active.
6. Cancellation
- No contract. Cancel anytime by emailing lucas@tinkoprojects.com.
- The service continues until the end of the month you've paid for. Partial months are not refunded.
- After cancellation, my Manager access is removed within 2 business days (you can also remove it yourself at any time).
7. Access and data
- Your Google Business Profile access is used only to read and reply to reviews. I won't change your business information without your written OK.
- Your reviews, replies and customer information are yours and are never shared or sold.
8. Results
- Replying to reviews helps how customers see your business, but no specific rating, ranking or number of customers is guaranteed.
Part B — One-time projects and monthly plans
1. Proposal
- Before any work starts, you get a written proposal with what's included, the timeline and a fixed price.
- Anything not in the proposal is quoted separately before I do it.
2. Payment
- 50% when you accept the proposal, to start the work, and 50% when the project is delivered, before it goes live.
- Prices are in U.S. dollars.
3. Changes
- Up to 2 rounds of changes are included. Additional changes or new features are quoted separately.
4. Your part
- Send the information the project needs (texts, photos, prices, business details) on time. Timelines start once I have it.
- If a project is on hold for more than 30 days waiting on information from you, I may close it. The first payment covers the work already done.
5. Ownership
- Once the project is paid in full, the website, its content and the domain are yours.
- I may show the project in my portfolio, unless you ask me not to.
6. Hosting and accounts
- Your website runs on your own hosting account and your own domain, in your name. I give you simple step-by-step instructions to set them up, and you add me as a collaborator so I can publish and maintain it.
- Third-party services (hosting, domain, booking tools, AI services, WhatsApp or online store platforms) are billed by those providers directly to you, under their own terms.
7. Monthly plans
- Website maintenance ($50/month): small updates (hours, text, photos), checking that your site is working, and help with anything technical. New pages or features are quoted separately.
- AI assistant plan: keeps the assistant running, updated with your business information and adjusted when needed.
- Monthly plans are billed in advance, have no contract and can be canceled anytime by emailing lucas@tinkoprojects.com. The service continues until the end of the month you've paid for.
8. Results
- I'll build exactly what's in the proposal, but no specific number of customers, bookings or sales is guaranteed.
Part C — For all services
1. Payment methods
- Preferred payment methods: bank transfer (ACH) or Zelle. Card payments are also available on request.
- If a payment is more than 7 days late, the service or project is paused until it's paid.
2. Your information
- Any access you give me is used only for the work we agreed on, and you can remove it anytime.
- Your information and your customers' information are never shared or sold.
3. Changes to these terms
- Any change to these terms will be sent by email at least 30 days before it applies.
