Pilot program terms
Effective August 2026 · Public summary
A pilot is 60 days of real work at no management fee, or at a reduced fee, in exchange for something specific: the right to publish what happened. It is not a free trial that quietly continues, and it is not unpaid work with no end date. Both of those are bad for the client and worse for us. This page is a summary. The signed Pilot Agreement and order form control on any conflict.
- 60 days, with a date on it. The pilot starts at kickoff and ends 60 days later. On or before day 55 we sit down with the numbers and you choose: convert to a published package, or end it. There is no automatic renewal into a paid engagement and no invoice you did not agree to. If you choose nothing, the pilot ends.
- You still own every account. Identical to a paid engagement. Ad accounts, analytics properties, tag containers, pixels, audiences, your Google Business Profile, landing pages, creative, and email and SMS lists are registered to your business from day one and stay yours when the pilot ends, whatever you decide. No offboarding fee, no data-export fee, ever.
- You pay the platforms directly. The management fee is what is reduced or waived, not your ad spend. Spend goes from your card to Google, Meta, or whoever else, and it is not refundable by us or by them.
- What we get: the right to publish it. This is the actual consideration for the free work, so it is stated plainly. CurrentAds may publish the results of a pilot as a named case study, including your business name, logo, the channels we ran, and the real performance figures, and may use them in marketing. You get to review the case study before it goes live and you can correct anything factually wrong. You cannot withhold approval simply because the numbers are good and you would rather competitors did not see them, because that is precisely what the free work bought.
- And a review. At day 55 you agree to leave an honest public review on our Trustpilot profile. Honest is the operative word: a bad pilot should get a bad review, and we would rather carry that than a profile full of manufactured ones.
- Verified tracking is a condition of entry. No exceptions. A pilot exists to produce a number both sides believe, and that is impossible if conversion tracking cannot be verified. If we cannot get access to build and verify it within the first five business days, the pilot does not start.
- Still no promise of a result. The delivery guarantee at /guarantee covers whether the work in your written plan gets delivered on time. Nothing in a pilot is a guarantee of a specific cost per lead, revenue figure, ranking, or return. Advertising outcomes vary by market, offer, and budget.
- Either side can stop. You can end a pilot at any point with written notice and keep everything listed above. So can we, if access, approvals, or budget do not arrive and the work cannot proceed.
- Limited slots, and that is a capacity fact. Pilots are run by the same senior operators who run paid accounts, so we take a small number at a time. When they are full, the answer is a start date, not a discount.
