Clear Expectations Make Better Business Relationships.
Rogue Media Solutions believes clients should understand how their information is handled, how projects are structured, who may work on them, what they own, what RMS is responsible for, and how payment arrangements work.
We collect what we need to do the work.
RMS collects and processes information necessary to communicate with clients, build and maintain digital properties, measure performance, provide support, and operate our business.
Information We May Collect
- Contact form and inquiry information
- Client onboarding and project intake details
- Business names, contact details, locations, and service information
- Website analytics and search-performance data
- Technical credentials or access provided for project purposes
- Billing, invoice, and transaction records
- Communications related to active or prospective projects
How We Use It
- Build, improve, maintain, and troubleshoot websites
- Manage SEO, analytics, hosting, and digital infrastructure
- Measure performance and prepare reports
- Communicate project updates and requests
- Provide customer support
- Maintain accounting and business records
- Improve RMS systems and service delivery
We do not sell client data.
Rogue Media Solutions does not sell, rent, or trade client personal information for third-party marketing purposes.
Modern websites depend on outside infrastructure.
RMS uses third-party platforms when necessary to provide services. Those providers operate under their own privacy policies, security practices, licensing terms, uptime commitments, and service agreements.
Analytics & Search
Examples may include Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google Business Profile, Bing Webmaster Tools, and related measurement platforms.
Web & Infrastructure
Examples may include WordPress, hosting providers, DNS/CDN services, security plugins, backup systems, business email platforms, and domain registrars.
Business Operations
Examples may include Jotform, QuickBooks, Google Workspace, Titan, project-management systems, payment processors, and secure connectivity tools.
Third-party services have their own terms.
RMS cannot guarantee the uptime, continued availability, policies, pricing, security, algorithm changes, account decisions, or future operation of an independent third-party platform.
RMS may bring in trusted specialists when it makes the project better.
Rogue Media Solutions operates inside a growing Southern Oregon business ecosystem. Certain projects may involve subcontractors, independent specialists, strategic partners, or other businesses that provide skills complementary to RMS.
This may include website designers, developers, photographers, videographers, writers, advertising specialists, technical consultants, social-media professionals, or other service providers.
Whenever practical, RMS prefers to work with trusted local businesses and professionals within our ecosystem, including collaborators connected through RMS, SitesCovered, the Rogue Valley Business Collective, and other established regional relationships.
How that works
- RMS may subcontract portions of a project when specialized expertise or additional capacity is useful.
- Subcontractors receive only the information or access reasonably necessary to complete their assigned work.
- RMS remains the primary client relationship for projects contracted directly through RMS unless otherwise stated in writing.
- Some specialty services may be contracted directly between the client and another provider when that structure is more appropriate.
- Independent businesses remain responsible for their own professional services, licensing, insurance, taxes, and operations.
Not every business needs the same deal structure.
Most RMS work uses straightforward project pricing or recurring service fees. In certain situations, RMS may also consider alternative arrangements when the economics make sense for both sides.
Fixed Project Pricing
Most website builds, migrations, setup projects, technical work, and one-time consulting engagements use a defined project price.
- Scope established before work begins
- Deposits or milestone payments may apply
- Out-of-scope changes may require additional approval
Monthly Services
Hosting, maintenance, SEO, reporting, marketing, advertising management, and other ongoing services may use recurring monthly pricing.
- Scope varies by service
- Cancellation terms depend on the applicable agreement
- Third-party advertising and software costs may be separate
Revenue Share
For certain businesses and growth opportunities, RMS may consider partial or full revenue-share arrangements instead of—or in combination with—traditional fees.
- Revenue share is not available for every project
- Eligibility is evaluated case by case
- A setup fee or minimum payment may still apply
- Percentage, measurement, term, and reporting requirements must be defined in writing
- Advertising, software, hosting, or outside-vendor expenses may be handled separately
Revenue share does not automatically create ownership.
A revenue-share arrangement does not create equity, a legal partnership, joint venture, fiduciary relationship, employment relationship, or ownership interest unless a separate written agreement explicitly says otherwise.
We can improve the foundation. We cannot control the market.
RMS works to improve technical quality, search visibility, usability, conversion opportunities, digital ownership, and measurement. No legitimate provider can guarantee a specific Google ranking, number of leads, revenue level, ad performance, or business outcome.
Search Engines
Google, Bing, and other search engines control their own algorithms, indexing systems, search features, and ranking decisions.
Advertising
Advertising performance depends on demand, competition, budget, offer quality, seasonality, platform systems, and customer behavior.
Business Performance
Website and marketing services cannot guarantee closing rates, pricing acceptance, customer retention, operational capacity, or profitability.
Good projects require accurate information from both sides.
Content & Accuracy
Clients are responsible for the accuracy of business information, pricing, claims, credentials, licenses, service areas, policies, product information, and other facts provided to RMS.
RMS may improve clarity and presentation, but clients remain responsible for confirming that business-specific statements are accurate and lawful.
Rights & Permissions
Clients should have appropriate rights or permission to use logos, photography, trademarks, copy, videos, testimonials, product images, and other materials they provide for publication.
Client-specific regulatory, licensing, tax, accessibility, privacy, employment, healthcare, financial, legal, or industry compliance remains the client’s responsibility unless separately contracted.
RMS maintains business insurance.
Rogue Media Solutions maintains active business insurance appropriate to its digital-service operations, including general liability and professional/errors-and-omissions coverage.
Coverage is intended to support professional accountability and protect both RMS and its clients when applicable.
Insurance remains subject to the insurer’s policy terms, limits, exclusions, deductibles, and coverage determinations.
Need proof of insurance?
For projects requiring a certificate or other documentation, contact RMS and we can provide available proof of coverage.
Custom digital work is handled differently from retail products.
Because RMS provides custom professional services, refund and cancellation treatment depends on the type of work, project stage, expenses already incurred, and the terms of the applicable agreement.
Website Projects
Deposits generally become non-refundable once substantive project work begins because they reserve production capacity and compensate for work already performed.
Hosting & Maintenance
Recurring services may be cancelled according to the applicable agreement. Prepaid periods generally are not refundable after the service period begins.
Third-Party Purchases
Domains, advertising spend, software licenses, hosting, plugins, processing fees, and other third-party costs may be non-refundable or subject to the provider’s refund policy.
Some recommended tools may compensate RMS.
Rogue Media Solutions may participate in affiliate or referral programs for products and services we use, recommend, or believe may be useful to clients.
Examples may include hosting providers, accounting software, form platforms, security services, email providers, ecommerce tools, and other business software.
If RMS receives a referral fee or commission, the client’s purchase price is not increased solely because the referral link was used unless clearly disclosed otherwise.
Affiliate relationships do not guarantee that a product is appropriate for every business. Clients remain free to choose another provider.
Clients should own the website they paid RMS to build.
Client Deliverables
- Once contractual payment obligations are satisfied, clients own the custom final website content and deliverables created specifically for their project, except where otherwise agreed in writing.
- Client-provided branding, content, photography, logos, and other materials remain the client’s property or the property of their respective rights holders.
- Third-party software, themes, fonts, plugins, stock media, APIs, and licensed assets remain subject to their original licenses.
RMS Systems & Know-How
- RMS retains ownership of internal processes, reusable systems, methods, templates, workflows, documentation, development techniques, and general know-how not created exclusively for a client’s ownership.
- RMS trademarks, logos, branding, proprietary educational material, and original publications may not be represented as another party’s work without permission.
- Nothing prevents RMS from using general knowledge or non-confidential techniques learned while performing client work.
RMS designs with accessibility in mind.
RMS uses accessibility-oriented practices such as semantic structure, readable contrast, responsive layouts, alternative text where appropriate, keyboard-access considerations, and reference to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) .
Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a permanent one-time certification. Websites change as clients add content, plugins, integrations, forms, media, and third-party services.
If you encounter an accessibility issue on an RMS-controlled website, email RichM@RogueMediaSolutions.com so the issue can be reviewed.
The blog exists to make invisible systems easier to see.
RMS publishes essays about local economies, money leakage, business infrastructure, agriculture, continuity, community systems, and the practical constraints facing Southern Oregon.
The goal is civic and business education rather than partisan advocacy. Articles may combine public data, cited research, professional experience, observation, analysis, and opinion.
Nothing published in an RMS article should be treated as individualized legal, tax, accounting, investment, medical, or other regulated professional advice.
This work is published freely because access matters. Businesses, organizations, or individuals may underwrite or support RMS publishing when appropriate. Sponsorship or underwriting does not purchase editorial conclusions.
For underwriting inquiries, contact RichM@RogueMediaSolutions.com .
A few boundaries worth stating clearly.
No Professional Legal or Tax Advice
RMS provides digital strategy, website, marketing, hosting, analytics, local SEO, and related consulting services. Statements about business operations, accessibility, privacy, tax deductibility, contracts, employment, or regulation are general information unless qualified counsel is separately engaged.
Project Agreements Control
A written proposal, contract, statement of work, revenue-share agreement, advertising agreement, hosting agreement, or other signed document may create terms specific to a project. Those written terms control where they directly conflict with this general page.
These terms may evolve as RMS evolves.
RMS may update these policies to reflect changes in services, technology, vendors, business relationships, insurance, regulations, or operating practices.
The current version posted on this page is the general policy version in effect for website visitors. Existing signed agreements are not automatically rewritten by a later website-policy update unless the applicable agreement provides otherwise.
