Cancellation Policy

FAQ’s
Absolutely. If there's a change in your business needs and you're looking to engage a Fractional Marketing Executive on an ad-hoc basis, you're free to switch to our Flex Pricing Plan after the first four weeks of engagement. Or, if a fixed price for specific work is more your style, our Fixed Pricing Plan is another option. Whichever route you decide on, we'll provide an updated Scope of Work to reflect your choice.
Yes, but it depends on the notice period. If you cancel with more than 4 weeks' notice in writing, there's no fee. But, if the notice is under 4 weeks, the fee equals the cost of 2 days' hire. This policy is due to the commitment you make under our Retain Pricing Plan, which reserves our Fractional Marketing Executive's time for your project, and considers the possibility of lost opportunities for them.
Once we have agreed to work together, we issue our Terms of Business through our Zoho platform that you can review and sign electronically.
You enter into a minimum 3-month Retainer Agreement consisting of at least 12 hire days. All details will be included in our proposal for the Scope of Work and you simply sign our Terms of Business.
No, we're confident our standard day rate is competitively priced and provides excellent value. However, you might consider our Retainer Pricing Plan, which offers a 5% discount, or choose to set a price based on specific work scope delivery.

We aim to support businesses of all sizes in improving their marketing results. Our equitable pricing philosophy takes into account that bigger companies typically have more complicated needs and can afford a higher level of marketing expertise. It wouldn't be fair to charge small businesses the same rate given the difference in resources and needs.
Since VCMO is in its early stages, maintaining a healthy cash flow is crucial for us. Therefore, we kindly ask our clients to pay for our services once a day of hire or a sequence of consecutive hire days is completed. We will continue review and adjust our payment terms once we have achieved sufficient scale.
Yes. Any travel costs incurred by our Fractional Marketing Executives supporting your business will be itemised on our invoices, and receipts will be provided. For any agreed on-site work, travel and subsistence expenses will be claimed commensurate with your travel policy. This will be agreed with you before any travel commitment is made by your Fractional Executive.
