2) Performance Based CRO Partnership For WooCommerce

2.1 Definitions

Performance Gateway

The initial proof period of up to 90 days with no fees unless and until the guarantee below is met.

Measurement Month

A calendar month from 00:00 on day 1 to 23:59 on the last day (used for post proof comparison and billing).

Measurement Window

A rolling 30 day period used solely to verify success during the Performance Gateway.

Baseline Month

The same calendar month in the prior year (unless a Pegged Baseline is agreed).

Baseline Period

The same dates in the prior year that correspond to a Measurement Window.

Conversion Rate (CR)

GA4 purchase conversion rate for sessions in the relevant period.

Revenue Per Visitor (RPV)

Net Revenue divided by Total Sessions. This metric captures improvements in both Conversion Rate and Average Order Value.

Success Threshold

A minimum twelve percent year on year increase in Revenue Per Visitor (RPV) OR Conversion Rate in any Measurement Window versus its Baseline.

Net Revenue (GA4)

GA4 revenue excluding VAT, shipping and any refunds or chargebacks posted within 30 days of the original transaction.

Incremental Revenue (Value Metric)

An estimated Net Revenue uplift attributable to optimisation, derived from GA4 metrics such as Revenue Per Visitor versus the agreed Baseline. It is used in reporting to evidence value and does not determine fees under these Terms.

Material Market Disruption (MMD)

Extraordinary macro economic events that make year on year comparisons unreliable (for example government mandated retail restrictions, pandemic response measures, war or comparable shocks).

Consent Reset Stabilisation Period

The first 7 days after a change to consent tooling or settings that require renewed explicit consent.

Source of truth

GA4 is the single source of truth for all uplift measurement and performance reporting under these Terms.

Shared Log

A shared working document where both parties record tracking gaps or anomalies, major launches or exceptional commercial events, consent or CMP changes, platform incidents, and agreed deployment windows or blackout periods. This helps keep performance interpretation and planning clear and consistent.

2.2 Up To Ninety Day Performance Gateway And Twelve Percent Uplift Guarantee

We work at no cost during the Performance Gateway for up to 90 days. If any Measurement Window within that period achieves the Success Threshold, the proof is successful. The paid partnership then commences for that successful 30 day window and we issue the first invoice in arrears for that window. Thereafter, billing is monthly in arrears under Section 2.4.

If we do not achieve twelve percent within the Performance Gateway (up to 90 days), you may walk away owing £0.

For clarity: if the Success Threshold is met at any point during the Performance Gateway, invoicing begins immediately for the preceding successful 30 day Measurement Window; the Gateway is not a guaranteed 90 day free period.

2.3 Measurement, Fairness And Disputes

• GA4 as arbiter: all uplift calculations and performance reporting use GA4. We provide a Looker Studio dashboard and a monthly one page Performance Report with baselines, results and illustrative value metrics.
• Testing quality: where A/B tests are used, we follow statistical best practice. As a rule of thumb we aim for 95% two tailed significance, no material sample ratio mismatch (±2.5%), a minimum run time of 14 days and no material anomaly, but we may agree sensible exceptions where traffic volume or seasonality makes rigid thresholds impractical.
• Fair play normalisation: if an anomaly or significant change would distort a year on year comparison, we may exclude affected days, extend the window or apply a documented adjustment. Examples include: tracking outages, consent signal loss or CMP misconfiguration, unusual one off promotions not run year on year, major channel mix shifts, stock out of top SKUs, force majeure, payment gateway downtime, material site changes introduced mid month without notice.
• Shared Log: we maintain the Shared Log to record measurement context (for example tracking gaps, launches, consent changes and incidents) and any agreed adjustments, so uplift verification stays transparent for both sides.
• Material Market Disruption (MMD): where a period is materially affected by an extraordinary macro event that makes year on year comparison unreliable, we may designate the affected days or month as MMD and exclude those days, extend the period or apply a documented adjustment. For clarity, MMD months are excluded from uplift checks for the Performance Gateway and any performance review under Section 2.5.
• Independent determination: unresolved measurement questions that remain after 5 business days may be referred by either party to an independent CRO or analytics specialist jointly appointed. Their determination is final and binding for that month. Fees for the determination are shared equally.

2.3.1 Incremental Revenue (Reporting Only)

We may calculate and present an estimated "Incremental Revenue" figure in the Performance Report to illustrate the value created by the CRO programme. This estimate is derived from GA4 metrics such as Net Revenue and Revenue Per Visitor compared to the agreed Baseline and is intended for transparency and ROI illustration only. It does not form part of the fee calculation under these Terms and your monthly fees remain the fixed amounts for your selected tier as set out in Schedule 1 and any applicable Order Form or SOW.

2.3.2 Anomalous or Missing Data ("Pegged Baseline")

Where historical GA4 data is absent, incomplete (e.g. less than 3 months), or unreliable due to recent re-platforming:

1. The parties shall agree in writing on a fixed "Pegged Baseline" for Conversion Rate and/or RPV during the Onboarding Phase (e.g. based on the first 30 days of stable tracking).
2. The Performance Guarantee (Section 2.2) and subsequent uplift calculations shall be measured against this Pegged Baseline rather than year on year history.
3. If the agreed uplift target against the Pegged Baseline is not met during the Performance Gateway, fees for that period remain at £0.

2.4 Fees And Billing (Fixed Tiered Model)

After a successful Performance Gateway, you select a fixed fee CRO Partnership tier (for example Essentials, Growth, Scale or Enterprise). For each Measurement Month you pay a single fixed monthly fee for that tier, as set out in Schedule 1 and/or the applicable Order Form or SOW. There are no percentage-of-uplift performance fees and no revenue share.

• Billing cadence: monthly in arrears. By the 10th to 15th we provide the Performance Report for the prior month. Invoices itemise “CRO Partnership – [Tier] – Month X” and any additional time and materials work agreed separately (for example development work under Section 3.3.2).
• Payment method: Stripe for cards and wallets. Bank transfer is available by written agreement or on request. VAT is added where applicable. Raise disputes within 30 days of invoice.
• Refunds and chargebacks in reporting: GA4 refunds or chargebacks posted within 30 days reduce Net Revenue and therefore impact reported uplift and any estimated Incremental Revenue. Where such adjustments fall after a reporting cycle, we reflect them in the next Performance Report. They do not retrospectively alter fixed monthly fees already invoiced.
• Fee certainty: you pay the agreed fixed monthly fee for your chosen tier while the engagement continues. There is no separate performance bonus, cap or turnover-based formula.
• Verification: you will grant reasonable read only access to GA4 and, if requested, short CSV extracts to verify uplift calculations and the Performance Gateway.

First invoice after proof: where the Success Threshold is achieved during the Performance Gateway, the first invoice covers that successful Measurement Window in arrears at the fixed fee for your selected tier. Thereafter invoicing is by Measurement Month.

Fee Tiers are set out in Schedule 1 and are fixed at signature. Later website updates do not amend Schedule 1 without a signed addendum.

2.4A Fixed Fee Partnership Tiers

The CRO Partnership is delivered on a fixed monthly fee basis. The fixed model keeps the programme, scope, Performance Gateway and measurement rules in Section 2 identical across tiers; only the level of service and fee differ.

• Scope: the fixed fee covers the agreed CRO programme and deliverables for your chosen tier, as described in your Order Form or SOW.
• Fees: the fixed monthly fees by tier are set out in Schedule 1. At the Effective Date they are: Essentials £1,750 per month; Growth £2,750 per month; Scale £4,500 per month; Enterprise from £9,000 per month, all plus VAT. These amounts may be updated for future engagements in the applicable Order Form or SOW.
• No performance bonus or cap: there is no percentage-of-uplift performance fee, no revenue share and no monthly cap. You pay the agreed fixed monthly amount for each Measurement Month after proof while the engagement continues.
• Performance review: we review CRO performance with you regularly (for example at quarterly or annual checkpoints). If results or needs change, you may upgrade, downgrade or terminate under Sections 2.6 and 4.
• Tier selection: your tier is selected in the Order Form or SOW and applies from the first paid Measurement Month after the Performance Gateway. Changes to tier require a signed addendum or written agreement and take effect only prospectively from the next Measurement Month. Pricing cannot be swapped retrospectively for prior periods.
• Revenue ranges as guidance only: any annual online revenue ranges shown in Schedule 1 are indicative and help recommend a suitable tier. They are not a billing formula. Fees are the fixed monthly amounts for the chosen tier regardless of actual turnover.
• Messy data / Stabilisation: where you have unreliable historical data, we may agree a stabilisation phase focused on repairing tracking and establishing a Pegged Baseline under Section 2.3.2. Unless stated otherwise in the Order Form, this work still sits within the Performance Gateway so you continue to pay £0 until the Success Threshold is verified against the agreed baseline.

2.5 Performance Reviews And Fairness

We continue to monitor performance after the Performance Gateway. Each Measurement Month we report year on year RPV and Conversion Rate uplift using GA4, applying the same Baseline and fairness rules in Sections 2.1 to 2.3.

Where results fall materially short of expectations over consecutive Measurement Months, we will review the CRO roadmap with you and agree appropriate actions (for example, adjusting the test plan, revisiting baselines or discussing a tier change or termination under Section 4). Fixed monthly fees are not automatically suspended or reduced by performance metrics, but you remain free to downgrade tier or terminate on notice in line with Section 4.

2.6 Tier changes (upgrade or downgrade)

• You may request to move to a different CRO Partnership tier (up or down).
• Changes take effect from the next Measurement Month provided you give at least 30 days’ written notice and we confirm capacity.
• Any tier change and resulting fee change must be agreed in writing (email is fine). Changes apply prospectively only.

2.7 Client Responsibilities

• Maintain functioning GA4 purchase tracking and required consent tooling.
• Consent and cookie compliance via CookieScript: you will implement and maintain a lawful consent mechanism using CookieScript (cookie-script.com) or an equivalent CMP on your site and keep it configured correctly. Where we assist with CMP setup, you remain responsible for compliance. Measurement windows may be paused or adjusted if consent signals materially impair GA4 or testing data. See Section 2.9.
• Provide timely approvals, content and access (GA4, WooCommerce, testing tools). Avoid uncoordinated changes that risk invalidating tests. Measurement windows may be paused or adjusted if needed.
• Third party plugin licences: you are responsible for purchasing and renewing third party licences such as Yoast Premium. If licences are not provided or renewed, we cannot guarantee updates or security and we are not liable for related issues.
• We do not manage your paid advertising. We may recommend actions.

2.8 Change Control, Acceptance And Rollback

• Acceptance: an experiment or change is accepted when you give written sign off or when we deploy a winning variant per your approval process.
• Out of scope after acceptance: client requested changes after acceptance or changes outside the agreed testing scope are billed as development at £65 per hour plus VAT with a 0.5 hour minimum unless otherwise agreed in a SOW. We do not provide fixed price quotes for development; all such work is billed hourly on a time and materials basis.
• Rollback: if you request rollback of an accepted change that is not due to our defect, rollback work is time and materials at the above rate.
• Change Requests: material scope changes are documented, estimated and approved in writing before work proceeds.

2.9 Consent Reset Protocol (GDPR)

Activating or tightening a consent mechanism (for example CookieScript) can reduce measured sessions and conversions in GA4 because only users who opt in are tracked. This may create an apparent step change versus pre compliance periods. To keep comparisons fair we will:

• treat the first 7 days after a consent change as a stabilisation period and exclude them from uplift verification and performance analysis,
• where feasible, use like for like segments (for example “consenting users only”) for comparisons during the first full Measurement Window post change, or
• if segments are unavailable or unsuitable, adopt the first full consent compliant 30 day window as the new baseline for uplift calculations.

For avoidance of doubt, a reduction in measured traffic due to consent enforcement is not a performance shortfall for the Success Threshold and does not count against you or us in performance reviews under Section 2.5.

2.10 Revenue & Spend Independence

Our success guarantee is defined by Conversion Rate or RPV uplift (GA4). Total Revenue can move for reasons outside our control (for example media spend changes, pricing, stock or supply constraints). A period may show lower Total Revenue while still meeting the required performance uplift.

After the Performance Gateway, our CRO Partnership fees are fixed by tier and do not vary with turnover or revenue. We may calculate and report estimated Incremental Revenue in your Performance Report for transparency, but this is an informational value metric only and does not affect billing.

7) Data Protection (GDPR) Summary

For CRO services you act as Controller and StrategyFive acts as Processor for personal data processed through analytics and experimentation tools such as GA4, Clarity or Hotjar and Nelio. For our own marketing and leads we act as Controller. A Data Processing Addendum (DPA) is incorporated by reference and available on request or signature.

7.1 Processor Obligations

• Process personal data only on your documented instructions and the contract.
• Maintain appropriate technical and organisational security such as encryption in transit, role based access, multi factor authentication where available and logging.
• Ensure personnel confidentiality. Assist with data subject requests and DPIAs where reasonable.
• Notify without undue delay upon becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting your data.
• Delete or return personal data upon termination within 30 days, except where law requires retention.

7.2 Sub Processors

• CookieScript for consent management.

We may update this list with notice under the DPA. Where personal data is transferred outside the UK or EEA, we will ensure an appropriate transfer mechanism such as the IDTA or SCCs is in place.

7.3 Retention

We keep service data while you are a client so we can provide and improve the service. We may keep optimisation and test metadata and de identified performance data to improve services. You can request deletion of client specific data at any time, subject to legal retention and backups.

See our Privacy And Cookies Notice for details.

8) Legal

8.1 Measurement And Data Integrity

We rely on GA4 and WooCommerce data you control. If tracking breaks or data is corrupted, including consent signal loss, we will pause, extend or normalise as set out in Section 2.3 and Section 2.9. You will provide reasonable read only access for verification.

8.2 Intellectual Property

• On full payment, you own deliverables we create for you. Our pre existing tools, libraries and know how remain ours and are licensed to you for your site. Open source remains under its licences.

8.3 Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other’s non public information confidential and use it only to perform under these Terms. Exclusions apply for information that is public, independently developed or rightfully received from a third party. Obligations survive for five years after termination or longer for trade secrets.

8.4 Defects, Changes And Environmental Issues

Defect means a reproducible failure of a deliverable to meet the written acceptance criteria in the supported environment agreed at sign off (for example the agreed WordPress/WooCommerce and PHP versions, hosting plan and plugin versions).

• Not defects: issues caused by third party plugins or themes, hosting or CDN, content or data changes, data volume or scale effects (for example very large product catalogues or order histories), breaking platform updates, payment gateway outages, or client/third party changes after acceptance.
• Remediation: corrections of defects within the applicable remedy period are provided at no charge. Remediation of non defects is billed at the hourly rate.

8.5 Responsible Use Of AI

We may use reputable AI tools to support internal research, drafting and quality checks. We will not input your Confidential Information or personal data into public AI tools without your written consent. Human review governs all outputs. This clause does not authorise any AI processing of your customer data.

8.6 Limitations Of Liability

• No liability for indirect, special or consequential loss or for lost profit, revenue, goodwill or data.
• Cap: our aggregate liability is limited as follows:
  • CRO Partnership: the greater of (a) three times the then current monthly CRO Partnership fee, or (b) £5,000 (or the EUR equivalent if invoiced in EUR).
  • Platform Only: the greater of (a) three times the then current monthly Platform Only fee, or (b) £1,000 (or the EUR equivalent if invoiced in EUR).
  • Other services: the greater of (a) three times the then current monthly fee for that service (or, where billed hourly, three times the average monthly fees paid for that service in the prior three months), or (b) £1,000 (or the EUR equivalent if invoiced in EUR).
• Service credit for material service failure: if, as a direct result of our breach, your website or checkout is unavailable to end users for a continuous period of more than 6 hours (excluding planned maintenance windows we have notified or agreed with you and third party outages), you are entitled to a service credit equal to 100% of the monthly fee for the month in which the event occurred. This is applied to the next invoice, is not refundable, and is without prejudice to any service credits under the SLA.
• Nothing limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited by law, including death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, or breaches of data protection obligations arising from our performance of the services.

8.7 Indemnities

• Client indemnity: you indemnify us against claims arising from your content, unlawful instructions or your breach of law.

8.14 Entire Agreement And Updates

These Terms and any service specific Order or addendum form the entire agreement and supersede prior statements. We may update Terms. Material changes will be notified at least 30 days in advance. Continued use constitutes acceptance.

8.15 Compliance
