Last updated: July 2026
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of this website and any services provided by The Bearded Marketer Studios (ABN 18 861 025 737), operated by Anthony Holmes and based in Cairns, Queensland ("we", "us", "our"). By using this website or engaging our services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
About us
The Bearded Marketer is the consultancy of Anthony Holmes, a Cairns-based digital marketing consultant and authorised Localsearch contractor. We provide services including website design, SEO, local SEO, Google Ads, and Google Business Profile optimisation for small and regional businesses.
Use of this website
The content on this website is provided for general information only. You agree not to:
- use the site for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage or disrupt it;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or data;
- copy, reproduce or republish our content without permission (see Intellectual property below);
- submit false, misleading or malicious information through our forms or assistant.
Quotes, engagement and fees
Any quote or proposal we provide describes the scope, deliverables and fees for a specific piece of work and is valid for the period stated. A formal engagement begins only once scope and fees are agreed in writing. Unless otherwise agreed, fees are payable in Australian dollars in accordance with the invoice terms we provide.
Your responsibilities
To deliver our services we may need timely access to accounts, content, approvals and information from you (for example your Google Business Profile, website hosting, brand assets or ad accounts). You are responsible for the accuracy of the material you provide and for holding the necessary rights to it. Delays in providing what we need may affect timeframes and outcomes.
Results and performance
Digital marketing outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including third-party platform algorithms, competition, your market and your own responsiveness to enquiries. While we apply genuine skill and care, we do not guarantee specific results such as a particular ranking, traffic level, number of leads, or return on investment. Any examples, case references or figures on this site describe past work and are not a promise of future results.
Intellectual property
The design, text, graphics and branding of this website are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by copyright. For client work, ownership of final deliverables transfers to you on full payment, unless a specific agreement says otherwise. We may retain the right to reference completed work in our portfolio and marketing. Third-party tools, templates and libraries remain the property of their owners.
Third-party services and trademarks
Our services often rely on third-party platforms such as Google, Meta and Localsearch. Your use of those platforms is subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for changes they make or for their availability. Localsearch, Google and other names and trademarks referenced on this site remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and attribution only.
Your consumer rights and our liability
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes those rights. To the maximum extent permitted by law, and other than for those non-excludable guarantees, our liability arising from your use of this website or our services is limited to re-supplying the relevant service or paying the cost of having it re-supplied, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.
Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
Termination
Either party may end an engagement in accordance with the agreed terms of that engagement. Fees for work performed up to the date of termination remain payable. We may also suspend or withdraw access to this website at any time without notice.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that State.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The current version, with its effective date, will always be published on this page.
