- Outbound and inbound lead generation campaign execution
- Lead qualification, scoring, and delivery
- Campaign performance reporting and optimisation
The specific scope, deliverables, volume, pricing, and timelines for each engagement are defined exclusively in the applicable SOW. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a SOW, the SOW shall prevail to the extent of the conflict.
2.1 What We Do Not Provide
Unless explicitly stated in a SOW, GreyOps does not provide:
- Sales closing, negotiation, or deal management services
- Legal, financial, tax, or compliance advice
- Guarantees of revenue, conversion rates, deal closure, or specific business outcomes
- Website design, development, or hosting services
- Ongoing CRM management or sales enablement beyond lead delivery
3. Engagement & Acceptance
An engagement is formed when:
- Both parties sign a Service Agreement or SOW; or
- The Client pays an invoice issued by GreyOps; or
- The Client provides written confirmation (including email) to proceed with services.
Verbal agreements or informal discussions do not constitute a binding engagement unless confirmed in writing.
4. Payment Terms
4.1 Pricing Model
GreyOps operates on a prepay-per-lead model unless otherwise specified in the SOW. The per-lead price is calculated based on factors including target industry, role seniority, geographic region, and expected acquisition cost. Pricing is fixed for the duration of a SOW and may be renegotiated upon renewal.
4.2 Payment Schedule
- Payment is due before lead delivery commences, unless a different schedule is specified in the SOW.
- All fees are quoted in the currency specified in the SOW (NZD, USD, AUD, or GBP).
- Payment methods accepted: bank transfer, credit card, or as specified in the invoice.
4.3 Late Payment
- Invoices not paid within 7 days of the due date will incur a late fee of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) on the outstanding balance, compounding monthly.
- GreyOps reserves the right to suspend all services if payment is more than 14 days overdue, without liability for any resulting delays in delivery.
- The Client is responsible for all costs incurred by GreyOps in collecting overdue payments, including legal fees and collection agency costs.
4.4 Taxes
All prices are exclusive of GST (Goods and Services Tax), VAT, sales tax, or other applicable taxes unless explicitly stated otherwise. The Client is responsible for all applicable taxes in their jurisdiction.
5. Refund & Cancellation Policy
5.1 Non-Refundable Fees
All payments are non-refundable once any of the following have occurred:
- Lead delivery has commenced
- Infrastructure setup has begun (domains purchased, accounts created, campaigns built)
- Campaign strategy or ICP research has been delivered
5.2 Cancellation Before Work Begins
If the Client cancels before any work has commenced, GreyOps will refund the full amount paid, less any administrative fees (up to 10% of the total). Cancellation must be in writing.
5.3 Early Termination by Client
If the Client terminates mid-engagement, GreyOps will deliver any leads already in the pipeline. No refund is due for the remaining undelivered portion unless GreyOps, at its sole discretion, agrees to a partial credit toward a future engagement.
6. Lead Qualification & Delivery
6.1 Qualified Lead Definition
A "Qualified Lead" is defined as a prospect who:
- Matches the ICP criteria agreed upon in the SOW (industry, company size, role, geography)
- Has responded to outreach with expressed interest, or has taken a qualifying action (e.g., booked a call, completed a form, replied affirmatively)
- Has been verified to be a real person at a real business
The specific qualification criteria are documented in each Client's SOW. If no SOW-specific criteria exist, the above definition applies.
6.2 Delivery Method
Leads are delivered via the method specified in the SOW, which may include email notification, CRM integration, shared dashboard, or spreadsheet. GreyOps is not responsible for leads that go unactioned due to the Client's failure to monitor the agreed delivery channel.
6.3 Lead Exclusions
The following do not count as Qualified Leads and will not be billed:
- Duplicate leads (same individual already delivered within the same campaign)
- Leads from outside the agreed geographic or industry scope
- Automated or bot-generated responses
- Leads that do not meet the minimum ICP criteria
7. Replacement & Dispute Policy
7.1 Replacement Eligibility
If a delivered lead does not meet the agreed qualification criteria, the Client may request a replacement within 7 business days of delivery. Requests must include a written explanation of why the lead does not qualify.
7.2 Review Process
GreyOps will review each dispute within 5 business days. If the lead is confirmed to fall below the agreed criteria, GreyOps will, at its discretion:
- Provide a replacement lead of equal or greater quality; or
- Issue a credit toward the Client's next order.
7.3 Replacement Exclusions
Leads are not eligible for replacement if:
- The Client failed to follow up within 48 hours of delivery
- The lead was contacted but did not convert (conversion is not guaranteed)
- The Client changed their ICP criteria after the lead was delivered
- The dispute is raised more than 7 business days after delivery
- The lead ghosted or became unresponsive after initial qualification
7.4 Dispute Cap
Replacement requests are capped at 15% of total leads delivered per SOW period. If disputes exceed this threshold, both parties agree to review and, if necessary, revise the ICP criteria and qualification standards.
8. Client Responsibilities
The Client agrees to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and current business information, ICP details, and any required brand assets or approvals
- Respond to delivered leads within 48 hours of delivery -- leads degrade rapidly and GreyOps cannot be held responsible for stale leads caused by Client inaction
- Provide timely feedback on lead quality (within 7 days of delivery) to enable ongoing campaign optimisation
- Not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or share leads delivered by GreyOps with any third party
- Not use leads for purposes other than those specified in the SOW
- Not contact leads using methods that violate applicable anti-spam, telemarketing, or data protection laws
- Not reverse-engineer, replicate, or attempt to replicate GreyOps' systems, processes, sequences, or methods
- Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction regarding the use of leads and personal data
- Not engage in any activity that could damage GreyOps' reputation, domains, or sending infrastructure
8.1 Client Cooperation
Timely cooperation from the Client is essential for successful delivery. If the Client fails to provide required information, approvals, or feedback within reasonable timeframes, GreyOps reserves the right to adjust delivery timelines without penalty. Delays caused by the Client do not entitle the Client to refunds or credits.
9. Infrastructure & Third-Party Platforms
9.1 Infrastructure Ownership
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all infrastructure deployed by GreyOps (including email domains, sending accounts, advertising accounts, and tracking systems) remains the property of GreyOps. The Client does not acquire any ownership or rights to the infrastructure upon termination.
9.2 Third-Party Platform Disclaimer
GreyOps relies on Third-Party Platforms (including Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and various email service providers) to deliver services. These platforms are governed by their own terms of service, policies, and algorithms, which may change without notice. GreyOps is not liable for:
- Account suspensions, bans, or restrictions imposed by Third-Party Platforms
- Changes to platform algorithms, policies, pricing, or features that affect campaign performance
- Deliverability fluctuations caused by email provider filtering, spam classification, or inbox placement changes
- Data loss or service interruptions caused by Third-Party Platform outages
GreyOps will make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of such events and will communicate any material disruptions to the Client promptly.
9.3 Ad Spend
Where GreyOps manages paid advertising on behalf of the Client, ad spend is either included in the per-lead price (as specified in the SOW) or billed separately. GreyOps does not guarantee specific return on ad spend (ROAS) and is not liable for ad spend on campaigns that do not generate the expected volume of leads.
10. Compliance & Data Protection
10.1 Regulatory Compliance
GreyOps conducts all outreach in compliance with applicable regulations, including:
- TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act, United States)
- CAN-SPAM Act (United States)
- CASL (Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation)
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, European Union) -- where applicable to EU-based prospects
- New Zealand Privacy Act 2020
- Australian Privacy Act 1988 and Spam Act 2003 -- where applicable
We use TrustedForm and Jornaya for consent verification where applicable. All outreach is conducted through verified, compliant infrastructure with proper unsubscribe mechanisms, sender identification, and opt-out handling.
10.2 Data Processing
In performing services, GreyOps may process personal data on behalf of the Client. Both parties acknowledge their respective obligations under applicable data protection laws:
- GreyOps acts as a data processor when handling lead data on behalf of the Client
- The Client acts as the data controller once leads are delivered and is responsible for their own compliance with data protection laws when contacting and processing those leads
- GreyOps will not use Client lead data for any purpose other than fulfilling the services unless authorised in writing
10.3 Data Security
GreyOps implements commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data, including encrypted communications, access controls, secure storage, and regular security reviews. However, no system is completely secure, and GreyOps does not warrant that data transmissions will be entirely free from unauthorised access.
11. Intellectual Property
11.1 GreyOps IP
All systems, software, templates, email sequences, targeting methodologies, proprietary data sets, campaign strategies, processes, and know-how used by GreyOps remain the sole and exclusive intellectual property of GreyOps. No license, assignment, or transfer of intellectual property rights is granted to the Client except as expressly stated herein.
11.2 Client IP
Any brand assets, logos, marketing materials, or proprietary content provided by the Client remain the Client's intellectual property. The Client grants GreyOps a limited, non-exclusive license to use such materials solely for the purpose of delivering the agreed services.
11.3 Lead Data Ownership
Upon delivery and payment, the Client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the delivered lead data for their own internal business purposes only. The Client may not resell, sublicense, or redistribute lead data. GreyOps retains the right to use anonymised, aggregated data derived from campaigns for internal benchmarking and service improvement.
12. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential all proprietary and sensitive information disclosed during the engagement ("Confidential Information"), including but not limited to:
- Pricing, commercial terms, and fee structures
- Lead data, prospect lists, and contact information
- Campaign performance data, metrics, and analytics
- Business strategies, internal processes, and trade secrets
- Technology, systems, and infrastructure details
Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was already known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed without reference to the disclosing party's Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law or legal process.
This confidentiality obligation survives termination of the agreement for a period of 3 years.
13. Non-Exclusivity
Unless expressly agreed in a SOW, the relationship between GreyOps and the Client is non-exclusive. GreyOps reserves the right to provide services to other clients, including those in the same or similar industries as the Client. GreyOps will use reasonable efforts to avoid delivering duplicate leads across concurrent campaigns in overlapping markets, but does not guarantee exclusivity of leads or territories.
14. Non-Solicitation
During the term of any SOW and for 12 months following its termination, the Client agrees not to directly or indirectly solicit, recruit, or hire any employee, contractor, or agent of GreyOps who was involved in delivering services to the Client. Violation of this clause entitles GreyOps to liquidated damages equal to 6 months of the individual's compensation.
