Terms of Use

Eligibility and acceptable use

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use this site. You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes and not to:

• Violate any applicable law or the rights of others;
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems;
• Scrape, harvest, or copy site content except as permitted by these Terms; or
• Reverse engineer or interfere with the operation of the site.

Engagements are governed by a separate agreement

This site is informational. It is not an offer to provide services, and using it does not create a client relationship. Any consulting, design, or build work is governed by a separate written proposal and engagement agreement signed by both parties. That agreement — not these Terms — controls the scope, deliverables, fees, ownership, and other terms of the work.

Engagements typically begin only after a signed proposal and the agreed deposit have been received.

Fees and payment

Fees, deposits, milestones, and payment schedules for any engagement are set out in the applicable proposal. Payments are processed by Stripe and are subject to its terms. Unless stated otherwise, fees are exclusive of applicable taxes, which are your responsibility.

Intellectual property

The content, branding, text, graphics, and design of this site are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, or create derivative works from the site without our prior written permission. Ownership of any work product delivered under an engagement is defined in that engagement's agreement.

Third-party services and links

The site may reference or link to third-party services (such as Stripe) and websites we do not control. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party, and your use of those services is governed by their terms.

Disclaimers

The site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that any information on it is accurate or complete.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the site. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [Company legal name] and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising out of your misuse of the site or your violation of these Terms or any applicable law.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or for any other reason. The sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in [State] will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of these Terms or the site, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us to seek an informal resolution.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Your continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
