Terms of Use
The rules for using this website, which entity you contract with, and a clear statement of who owns what when we do work for you.
Effective July 27, 2026
The short version
Use the site sensibly. The words and images on it belong to us. Anything we design and build for you as a client belongs to you, completely, and that is written into every agreement we sign. Nothing on this website is a contract by itself, and nothing on it is professional advice for your specific situation.
Using this site
You are welcome to read, print, and share anything published here. What you may not do is scrape the site at scale, attempt to break or overload it, misrepresent yourself when contacting us, use the form to send unsolicited commercial messages, or copy our written content and publish it as your own.
We may change, move, or remove anything on the site at any time without notice. We try to keep old links working but we cannot promise every URL will exist forever.
Who you are contracting with
Orca Agency is the front door to three divisions: Orca Creative for brand, web, and search, Orca Marketing for growth systems, and Orca IT for infrastructure and security. They share ownership, standards, and a single point of contact.
When you engage us, the written agreement names which entity is delivering the work and what it covers. If a project spans more than one division you receive a single contract and a single price rather than three that contradict each other. Nothing on this page replaces the terms of that agreement.
Who owns what
This website
The copy, design, photography, code, and the Orca name and marks on this site belong to Orca Agency. You may quote short passages with attribution and a link. You may not republish substantial portions, and you may not use our name or marks in a way that suggests we endorse you.
Work we do for clients
This is the part that matters most and it works in your favor. When a project completes and final payment is made, ownership of everything we produced for you transfers to you in full. Source files, working files, code, copy, and copyright. Your domain, hosting, analytics, and repositories are registered in your name from day one, not ours.
We do not license work back to the businesses that paid for it. If you decide to leave, you take everything with you and nothing stops working. This is stated here because a surprising number of agencies do the opposite, and because we are happy to be held to it.
Things we cannot transfer
A few components genuinely are not ours to give away. Licensed typefaces, stock photography, and third party plugins remain governed by their own licenses, which we disclose in writing before they are used and before you pay for anything that depends on them. We also keep the right to show completed work in our own portfolio unless you ask us not to, which some clients do and which we always respect.
This site is not advice
The articles, guides, and price ranges on this site are general information for a general audience. They are not legal, financial, tax, or professional advice, and they are not a substitute for someone who knows your specific situation.
Prices quoted anywhere on this site are typical ranges, not offers. An actual price only exists once we have scoped your project and put a written proposal in front of you.
What we do not promise
We are direct about this rather than hiding it in capital letters at the bottom of the page. This website is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error free, or that every piece of information on it is current.
Nobody can honestly guarantee search rankings, traffic figures, or revenue outcomes, and anyone who does is either mistaken or selling something. What we guarantee in a client engagement is the work itself, the transparency, and that we will tell you when something is not performing rather than hide it in a chart.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Orca Agency and its divisions are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this website. For client engagements our total liability is limited to the fees paid for the specific work in question, and that limit is stated in the agreement you sign rather than only here.
Some states do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you. Nothing here is intended to limit liability for fraud or for anything else the law does not permit us to limit.
Links to other sites
We link to other websites where they are useful, including our own divisions at orcacreative.io, orca.marketing, and orcait.io. We do not control third party sites and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Their terms apply once you leave ours.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [Your State] and the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by a straightforward conversation will be handled in the state or federal courts located in [Your State].
We would genuinely rather pick up the phone. In more than a decade we have not needed this clause once, and we would like to keep it that way.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the business changes. The effective date at the top of this page will always tell you which version is current. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms. This version took effect on July 27, 2026.
How to reach us
If anything here is unclear, ask before you agree to it. Call 800.274.6775 or use the form on this site and we will explain it in plain English.
