These Terms apply to visitors and users of the public Bastrakov Media website. Paid client engagements are governed by separate written project agreements.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of https://bastrakovmedia.com and its public website features operated by Bastrakov Media LLC (“Bastrakov Media,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the website, you acknowledge these Terms. Where you are asked to expressly agree to these Terms, your affirmative acceptance constitutes your agreement to be bound by them. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the website where acceptance of these Terms is required.
2. Website Purpose and Business Services
Bastrakov Media provides website development, web design, digital marketing, advertising, social media, creative, and related business services. The website is primarily informational and allows prospective clients to review services, pricing ranges, portfolio materials, and submit inquiries or quote requests. Submitting a form, requesting a quote, or communicating with us does not by itself create a client relationship or obligate either party to enter into a project.
3. Separate Client Agreements Control Paid Projects
Paid services are governed by a separate written agreement, proposal, statement of work, order form, or other document accepted by Bastrakov Media and the client.
If these Terms conflict with an applicable client agreement, the client agreement will control with respect to that client engagement and only to the extent of the conflict.
4. Quotes, Pricing, and Estimates
Prices shown on the website are starting prices, general ranges, or examples unless expressly stated otherwise. Every project may differ in scope, complexity, timeline, integrations, content requirements, revisions, third-party costs, and other factors.
A quote or estimate is not binding until it is included in a written agreement accepted by both parties. We may revise or withdraw a quote before acceptance.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, website pricing does not include advertising spend, third-party software, domains, hosting, stock assets, paid plugins, platform fees, or other third-party costs.
5. No Guarantee of Business or Advertising Results
Marketing, advertising, SEO, website development, conversion optimization, lead generation, and related services are affected by factors outside our control, including market conditions, competition, advertising platform policies, ad auctions, budgets, audience behavior, client offers and responsiveness, and third-party systems.
Unless expressly guaranteed in a separate written client agreement, we do not guarantee search rankings, traffic levels, leads, sales, revenue, return on advertising spend, advertising account approval, ad approval, or any other specific business result.
6. User Submissions and Inquiry Content
When you submit information through the website, you represent that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to provide it.
You grant us permission to use the information you submit as reasonably necessary to review your inquiry, communicate with you, prepare a quote or proposal. You authorize us to use information you submit as reasonably necessary to review and respond to your inquiry, communicate with you, and prepare requested quotes or proposals. If we enter into a client relationship, use of project materials may be governed by the applicable client agreement.
Do not submit passwords, payment card information, Social Security numbers, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through a general website inquiry form unless we specifically request it through an appropriate secure method.
7. Acceptable Use
You may not use the website to violate law, infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights, transmit malicious code, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with website operation, scrape or harvest information in a manner that violates law or these Terms, impersonate another person or company, or submit fraudulent, abusive, or misleading inquiries.

Unless otherwise stated, the website, its layout, branding, text, graphics, logos, design elements, code, and other content are owned by or licensed to Bastrakov Media and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may view the website for personal or internal business evaluation. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, publish, modify, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit website content without our prior written permission, except as permitted by law.
Ownership of work created for a paying client is determined by the applicable client agreement and may depend on full payment and any third-party licensing terms.
9. Portfolio and Third-Party Materials
Our portfolio may include examples of work created for clients, including screenshots, trademarks, logos, photographs, written content, or other client or third-party materials, where such use has been authorized or is otherwise permitted by applicable law. Rights in client and third-party materials remain with their respective owners. References to clients or third parties do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or affiliation unless expressly stated.
10. Third-Party Platforms and Links
Our website or services may reference or integrate third-party platforms, hosting providers, advertising networks, analytics tools, payment providers, social networks, software, APIs, or other services. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for their availability, policy changes, account decisions, outages, security practices, fees, or other actions. Your use of third-party services may be subject to separate terms.

16. Severability and No Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it in the future.
