- Subcontractors who work on client accounts under confidentiality agreements (PPC and design specialists)
- Legal and regulatory bodies where required by law
How Long We Keep Your Data
We keep your information for as long as needed to provide the services you've engaged us for, plus a reasonable period afterwards to comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes. Marketing data is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

International Transfers
Some of our service providers are based outside the UK and EU (for example, Google services). Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards including UK/EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the data we hold, but no system is completely secure. Please use strong passwords and don't share confidential information over insecure channels.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
TERMS OF SERVICE
Terms
The terms that apply when you use our website or engage us for services.
Website Use
By using this website you agree not to misuse it, attempt to compromise its security, or use it for any unlawful purpose. The content on this site is owned by CMC Distributors and may not be reproduced without permission.
Strategy Calls and Enquiries
Booking a strategy call doesn't oblige either party to enter a paid engagement. Information shared on these calls is held in confidence by both parties.
Service Engagements
Where you engage us for services, the specific terms — including scope, pricing, payment schedule, and term length — are set out in a separate service agreement signed by both parties. That agreement takes precedence over anything on this website.
No Guarantees of Specific Results
Past results referenced on this website (including revenue growth, compliance resolution timeframes, and case studies) are real, but they reflect outcomes for specific clients in specific situations. Your results will depend on factors outside our control — including your product, category, budget, competition, and Amazon's policies. We commit to running operations to a high standard, not to guaranteed outcomes.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by UK law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from our services is limited to the fees you've paid us in the three months preceding the claim. We're not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, revenue, or data.
Governing Law
These terms and any disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales, with exclusive jurisdiction in the courts of England and Wales.
