Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

Services

I provide web development services including website design, development, and related consulting. Specific deliverables, timelines, and pricing are outlined in individual project proposals.

Project Agreements

All projects require a signed agreement or accepted proposal before work begins. This agreement will outline the scope of work, timeline, payment terms, and other project-specific details.

Payment Terms

Payment terms are specified in each project proposal. Typical terms include:

  • 50% deposit to begin work
  • Milestone payments as specified
  • Final payment before launch

Intellectual Property

Upon full payment, you receive full ownership of all custom code and designs created specifically for your project. Third-party tools, libraries, and assets remain under their respective licenses.

Revisions

Each project includes a specified number of revision rounds. Additional revisions beyond the agreed scope may incur additional charges.

Support

All projects include 30 days of post-launch support for bug fixes and minor adjustments. Ongoing support and maintenance packages are available separately.

Limitation of Liability

I am not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of services or deliverables. Total liability is limited to the amount paid for the specific service.

Termination

Either party may terminate a project with written notice. In case of termination, payment is due for all work completed up to that point.

Approval & Acceptance

Upon delivery of completed work, you have 14 business days to review and provide feedback. If no response is received within 14 business days, the deliverables are considered approved and final payment is due.

Scope Changes

Work not described in the original project agreement is outside scope. Additional features, pages, or functionality require a separate quote and written approval before work begins.

Independent Contractor

I operate as an independent contractor. This agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between us.

Client Content & Indemnification

You warrant that all content provided (text, images, logos, media) is owned by or licensed to you. You agree to indemnify and hold me harmless against any claims arising from client-provided content.

Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary or sensitive information shared during the course of a project. This includes business strategies, login credentials, and any non-public information.

Governing Law

These terms and any project agreements are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any disputes shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes will be settled through binding arbitration in Suffolk County, New York.

Changes to Terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use of this website after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
