These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of https://localadvertisingandmarketing.com (the “Site”), operated by Elite Acquisitions LLC DBA Local Advertising & Marketing. Elite Acquisitions LLC is the parent company of Local Advertising & Marketing. Local Advertising & Marketing operates as a registered DBA of Elite Acquisitions LLC and conducts business under the name Local Advertising & Marketing. Elite Acquisitions LLC is operated by Jarrett Phillips. By using the Site or buying a plan, you agree to these Terms.

Use of the Site

You agree to use the Site for lawful purposes only and not to interfere with its operation, security, or availability.

Intellectual property and proprietary tools

Jarrett Phillips owns the website content, the Advertising Budget Calculator, the calculator interface, the calculator source code, the underlying implementation logic, the written explanations, the formula documentation, and all related proprietary materials. Elite Acquisitions LLC is operated by Jarrett Phillips.

Visitors may use the Site and the Advertising Budget Calculator for personal or business evaluation only. You may not copy, reproduce, scrape, reverse engineer, republish, duplicate, resell, or use the calculator or its implementation to build competing or derivative tools without prior written permission.

Calculator disclaimer

The Advertising Budget Calculator provides preliminary planning estimates only. It does not guarantee calls, inquiries, sales, revenue, return on ad spend, search rankings, campaign performance, or any business result. Final advertising recommendations depend on market conditions, creative quality, targeting, budget, campaign length, the offer, competition, your follow-up process, and other factors outside the calculator’s inputs.

Anything in the calculator or on the Site that touches taxes, deductions, or accounting treatment is for general information only. Confirm tax-related questions with a CPA or qualified tax professional.

No professional advice

Information on this Site is provided for general informational purposes. It is not professional, legal, financial, medical, or specific marketing advice for your business. Custom engagements are governed by separate written agreements; plans bought online are governed by the Subscription plans section below.

Subscription plans

Business use. Our plans are sold to businesses for business use. By buying a plan, you confirm that you are buying it for a business and that you can agree to these Terms for that business.

Billing. Plans bought online are paid by card through Stripe, billed monthly, and renew automatically until cancelled. Prices are shown on the Site and at checkout. Phone and text usage on the Front Desk plans, and phone, text, email and AI usage on the Venue Booking Desk plan, is paid separately, at cost, from a prepaid balance in your account.

Website and Front Desk plans. The Website, Front Desk, and Front Desk + Website plans are month to month with no minimum term. You can cancel anytime by emailing jarrett@localadvertisingandmarketing.com.

Advertising plans: 3-month minimum term. The plans that include advertising (the Front Desk + Website bundles that include Search Ads or Search & Meta Ads) are sold for a minimum term of three consecutive monthly billing periods, starting on the date of purchase, and are billed monthly. You can tell us you want to cancel at any time by emailing jarrett@localadvertisingandmarketing.com. If you do so during the minimum term, your cancellation takes effect at the end of the minimum term: your front desk, website, and ads keep running, and the remaining monthly payments for the minimum term are billed as scheduled. We will email you before your minimum term ends. After the minimum term, the plan continues month to month, and you can cancel anytime by email.

Venue Booking Desk plan: 30-day money-back guarantee. The Venue Booking Desk plan (formerly the venue follow-up plan; $249 a month plus usage at cost) is billed when you sign up and then monthly, month to month, and you can cancel anytime by email. If you are not happy with it, email jarrett@localadvertisingandmarketing.com within 30 days of your purchase date and we refund your first monthly payment in full. The guarantee covers the first payment of your first subscription to this plan; usage-based charges already passed on at cost are not refunded.

Venue Booking Desk: how the service works. The Venue Booking Desk uses automated, AI-based tools to answer calls and messages and draft replies on your venue’s behalf, from the details you approve. Its answers can occasionally be wrong or incomplete; you approve its wording before launch, you choose whether replies wait for your approval or send automatically, and your team stays responsible for prices, dates, contracts and commitments made to your customers. Usage (call minutes, texts, emails, AI replies, phone numbers, carrier and WhatsApp fees) is billed at cost from a prepaid balance in your account that you fund or set to refill; usage already used is not refundable, and any unused prepaid balance is refunded on request when you cancel. The plan has no limit on inquiries under normal use for one venue; we may contact you if use looks automated, abusive or far beyond a single venue’s needs.

Venue Booking Desk: your customers’ consent. Your venue is the sender of the messages and calls made to your customers. You agree to add only people who contacted your venue or gave you their details, to mark someone as OK to text only when they agreed to texts themselves, and to follow the laws that apply to contacting your customers. We set up opt-out handling, texting registration and quiet hours for you, and we honor every opt-out we receive.

If a payment fails. If a payment fails or is reversed, we may pause your services until it is resolved. You remain responsible for amounts due for services already provided.

Advertising. Campaigns begin after onboarding, which includes setting up or connecting the ad accounts, receiving the business details we need, and your approval of the ads. Advertising platforms such as Google and Meta set their own policies and may reject, limit, or pause ads. Campaign budgets, targeting, and the split between channels are managed by us within your plan. We do not guarantee calls, leads, sales, rankings, or any other result from advertising.

Your website and domain. On plans that include a website, the domain is registered in your name. When the service ends, the website comes down and the domain stays yours.

SMS messaging terms

Program description. Elite Acquisitions LLC DBA Local Advertising & Marketing operates an SMS program for people who opt in by checking an optional text-message consent box on a form on this Site. There are two separate, optional boxes. Transactional messages: replies to your inquiry, appointment confirmations and reminders, and follow-ups on quotes and advertising plans you have requested. Marketing and promotional messages: special offers, new service announcements, and upcoming events. You receive only the type(s) of message you opted in to. Consent is not a condition of purchase and is never required to submit a form or purchase any service.

Opt-out. You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Text STOP to any message to unsubscribe. After you text STOP, we will send one final message confirming you have been unsubscribed, and you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. To rejoin, submit a form on this Site and check the SMS consent box(es) again.

Help. If you are experiencing issues with the SMS program, text HELP to any message, or email jarrett@localadvertisingandmarketing.com.

Message and data rates. Message & data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency may vary. If you have questions about your text or data plan, contact your wireless provider.

Carrier liability. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Age restriction. You must be 18 years of age or older to opt in to receive SMS messages from us.

Privacy. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information. We do not sell, rent, or share your phone number or SMS consent with any third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for marketing or promotional purposes.
