Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using any services provided by Rocima Media (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our services.

4. Payments and Fees

All pricing, payment schedules, milestones, and deliverables are defined in a separate service agreement, proposal, or invoice issued to the client.

Payment structures may include milestone-based payments. Where milestone payments apply, each milestone must be paid in full before progression to the next stage of work, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Failure to make payment on time may result in suspension or termination of services.

Rocima Media reserves the right to withhold delivery of completed work, including manuscripts, files, or published materials, until full payment has been received.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable service agreement, all payments are non-refundable.

5. Intellectual Property

Clients retain full ownership of their original content, including manuscripts, ideas, and materials provided to Rocima Media.

By engaging our services, clients grant Rocima Media a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use completed or partially completed work for the purpose of:

  • Portfolio display
  • Marketing and promotional materials
  • Case studies and service demonstrations

This does not transfer ownership of client content.

6. Client Responsibilities

Clients are solely responsible for ensuring that all materials submitted to Rocima Media are legal, original, or properly licensed.

This includes responsibility for:

  • Copyright compliance
  • Plagiarism avoidance
  • Legal rights to all submitted content
  • Accuracy and legality of provided materials

Rocima Media assumes no liability for legal issues arising from client-submitted content.

7. Revisions, Feedback, and Timelines

Project timelines and deliverables are based on agreed scopes of work.

While fixed deadlines may be established in service agreements, timelines may be adjusted due to:

  • Client feedback delays
  • Revision requests
  • Scope changes
  • Additional content requirements

Significant changes in scope may require revised timelines or additional fees as agreed in writing.

8. Termination of Services

Rocima Media reserves the right to suspend or terminate services if:

  • Payments are not made as agreed
  • The client breaches these Terms
  • The client engages in unlawful, abusive, or uncooperative behavior

Clients may terminate services at any time; however, all completed work up to the termination point remains payable.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

All services are provided on an “as-is” basis. Rocima Media does not guarantee specific outcomes, including:

  • Book sales
  • Publishing success
  • Audience growth
  • Commercial performance

Results depend on external factors beyond our control.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Rocima Media shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our services.

Our total liability shall not exceed the total amount paid by the client for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

11. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Trinidad and Tobago.

In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of our services, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter in good faith through written notice and direct communication.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through informal discussions within a reasonable period, the parties agree to attempt mediation in good faith before initiating formal legal proceedings, unless urgent injunctive relief is required.

If the dispute remains unresolved after mediation, the matter shall be finally resolved through binding arbitration conducted remotely in English. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on both parties.

12. Relationship Between Agreements

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any signed service agreement, proposal, or invoice, the service agreement shall prevail.

13. Changes to Terms

Rocima Media reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of our services after changes are made constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any signed service agreements, proposals, or invoices, constitute the entire agreement between Rocima Media and the client.
