3. SERVICES
At Surf Lifters Media, we provide Public Relations services built around press releases and press distribution. Our goal is simple: help brands, founders, and CEOs publish credible news, expand visibility, and strengthen authority through a clear PR workflow that’s professional, repeatable, and measurable.
Our services are focused on PR communication and press visibility. Every engagement is tailored to the client’s announcement, industry, and goals. Details such as pricing, scope, delivery timelines, revision limits, payment methods, and deliverables will be agreed upon in advance and documented in the corresponding service contract.
a) Press Release Writing
We write newsroom-ready press releases that communicate your message clearly and professionally. Our writing is structured for readability and credibility, while also incorporating release-led SEO best practices such as natural keyword integration, clean formatting, and strategic link placement where appropriate.
b) Press Distribution
We handle press distribution through a structured publishing system designed to support consistent visibility. This includes setting up and organizing your digital newsroom presence (profile details, verified contact links, branding assets, categories/tags/archives, and media assets), then managing the publishing workflow so each release is formatted correctly, positioned appropriately, and distributed through verified press distribution networks.
c) Release Visibility Support (SEO Strategy, Tracking, and Backlinking)
We help your press release continue performing after it’s published. This includes release-focused SEO strategy to improve discoverability, UTM tracking to understand traffic impact, and backlink-minded PR positioning to support authority-building opportunities tied directly to your announcement.
Pricing depends on the service package selected by the client. The scope of services, pricing, delivery timelines, payment terms, payment methods, and all service specifications will be agreed upon beforehand and clearly established in the corresponding service contract. Our commitment to quality and client satisfaction is reflected in every project we deliver, ensuring our PR services meet high professional standards and support the long-term growth of our clients.
4. PAYMENTS
The price and payment for our services will depend on the specific services or package of services contracted by the client. Every detail regarding services, including scope, pricing, and delivery times, will be agreed in advance with the client and will be clearly stated in the corresponding service contract. We are committed to providing a transparent and fair pricing structure, tailored to the specific needs of each client and project.

We strive to maintain open and effective communication with our clients to ensure that the billing and payment process is as smooth as possible.
5. REFUND POLICY
Surf Lifters Media offers customized services that are specifically tailored to each client’s needs. Given the exclusive nature of these services, it is important to understand that once initiated, they are non-refundable. This policy is due to the nature of the resources and efforts that are irreversibly committed at the beginning of each project.
Before starting any service, we ensure that all details, such as objectives, expected results, schedule and costs, are clearly understood and agreed upon by both parties. This ensures that both client and provider have clear and agreed-upon expectations from the outset.
If the client decides to cancel services after they have begun, Surf Lifters Media reserves the right to charge for work performed up to the time of cancellation, reflecting the use of resources and time up to that date.
We encourage our clients to carefully consider their needs before contracting our services and to maintain fluid communication with us during the execution of the project. We are committed to working together with our clients to tailor services to their requirements as far as possible, always within the limits of this non-refund policy.
6. DELIVERY TIMES
We understand that punctuality in the delivery of our services is crucial for planning and client satisfaction. The delivery times of our services will depend on the specific nature of the contracted services and will be clearly established and detailed in the corresponding service contract. Each contract will reflect a schedule tailored to the needs of the project and the execution capabilities of our agency, ensuring that both client and supplier have clear and agreed expectations.
We recognize that, on occasion, unforeseen situations may arise that are beyond our control, such as delays by third parties, unexpected changes in project scope requested by the client, or exceptional circumstances such as natural disasters or technological disruptions. In such cases, the delivery times originally established in the contract may need to be extended.
In any situation where an extension of delivery times is foreseen, Surf Lifters Media commits to immediately and transparently communicate to the client the reasons for the delay and the new time estimate. We will work collaboratively with the client to minimize any negative impact and to readjust delivery times to accommodate the new situation.
Our goal is to always maintain open and proactive communication with our clients to manage any changes effectively and to ensure that we continue to fulfill our obligations in the most professional manner possible.
7. CLIENT CONTENT

To write and distribute press releases and PR content accurately, the client may be required to provide certain materials and information needed to execute the contracted work.

The client confirms that they have the necessary rights and permissions to provide these materials and that Surf Lifters Media’s use of them for the contracted services will not infringe upon the rights of any third party.
Client-provided materials will be used strictly for the purpose of completing the agreed PR services, including press release writing, press distribution workflow requirements, digital newsroom publishing elements, and related visibility support (such as tracking links and supporting media assets). The client is responsible for supplying required materials in a timely manner and in an appropriate format so that delivery timelines and publishing schedules can be met.
Surf Lifters Media will handle all client materials with care and confidentiality and will use them only for the agreed purposes. Upon completion of services, client-provided materials will be returned, deleted, or removed from our systems according to the terms outlined in the service contract.
Timely delivery of accurate materials is critical to both quality and turnaround time. If required information or assets are delayed or provided in an unusable format, Surf Lifters Media will not be responsible for resulting delays, revisions, or impacts on delivery schedules or outcomes.
