Using zebranorth.com means you accept these terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not, close the tab. Hiring us for work is a separate commercial agreement; the proposal or statement of work wins if it conflicts with this page.
1. These terms
They apply to visitors, newsletter subscribers, people who book a call, and clients. We may update them. The date at the top is the current version. Continued use of the site after a change is acceptance of the new version.
2. Who we are
Zebra North is a United Kingdom practice. The founder, Simon Sothcott, does the work. There is no junior bench behind the site. Write via the contact form.
3. The website
The site explains the offer, publishes writing, and lets you enquire or book. Content is general information, not legal, tax, or investment advice, and not a promise that a given tactic will work in your market.
We try to keep pages accurate and the site available. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or free of defects. We may change or withdraw pages without notice.
4. Consulting work
Typical work is fractional CMO / revenue architecture: a monthly Growth Partner engagement (4 days a month for £2,000 per month, 3-month minimum), extra days at £500 per day, a scoped project, or a larger fractional remit. Public pricing is the starting point, not an automatic checkout.
Work starts when both sides have agreed, in writing:
- The problem and the days or scope
- Fees, invoices, and the first date
- Access we need (ads, CRM, analytics, people)
You stay responsible for your business decisions, budgets, and anything we cannot control: product, sales capacity, brand, and the market.
5. Fees and invoices
Fees are in the proposal. Growth Partner is billed monthly in advance for the days booked that month. Projects are billed to the schedule in the scope. Extra days are the same day rate unless we write a different number.
Invoices are due as stated on them. Late payment can pause the work. This is not a self-serve subscription with a free trial that converts itself. Either side can stop a monthly engagement at the end of a month after the minimum, as the proposal says.
Public prices can change. A price already agreed in writing for an active engagement does not change mid-term unless both sides agree.
6. Results
Marketing performance depends on offer, sales, spend, creative, and timing. We do not guarantee pipeline, revenue, rankings, or a specific return. What we do guarantee is that the named person does the work and that we will say when a plan is not working.
7. Materials
You keep what you already own and the confidential data you give us access to. Finished work we produce for you in the engagement — plans, pages, account structures built in your properties — is yours once invoices for that work are paid.
We keep our methods, frameworks, unused drafts, and anything we bring that is not specific to you. We may talk about the type of work in general terms. Named case studies need your say-so.
8. Confidentiality
Both sides treat non-public commercial information as confidential and use it only for the engagement, unless the law requires disclosure or the information is already public.
9. Acceptable use
Do not use the site to:
- Break the law or anyone else's rights
- Probe, scrape at scale, or attempt to break in
- Send spam or dump malware
- Misrepresent who you are when you enquire
We can block access if that line is crossed.
10. Accounts
If you create a sign-in, keep the credentials to yourself and tell us if they leak. We can disable an account that is abused or compromised. Closing an account does not cancel an unpaid invoice.
11. Third parties
Booking uses Cal.com. Email uses Resend. Hosting is Vercel. Optional analytics and ads use Google, and only after you opt in — see the Cookie Policy. Those products have their own terms. We are not responsible for their uptime or their policies.
12. Ending work
You can stop a conversation at any time. A paid engagement ends as the proposal says — typically at month-end after the minimum. We can end work for non-payment, for a breach, or if the relationship is not workable. On ending, unpaid fees stay due; we hand back access we hold in your systems.
13. Liability
The site is provided as it stands. To the extent English law allows, we exclude implied warranties and are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profit, or lost data arising from use of the site.
For consulting work, unless a signed agreement says otherwise, our aggregate liability in a contract year is capped at the fees you paid us for that work in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or anything else that cannot be limited by law.
14. Changes
We can change these terms for the website at any time. Changes to an active engagement need a written agreement, not a silent website edit.
15. Law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except that we may seek injunctive relief wherever your assets or the misuse sit.
If something here is unenforceable, the rest still applies. A failure to enforce a point once is not a waiver. You cannot assign these terms without our written consent; we can assign them with the practice.
