LEGAL
Terms of Service
Draft website and consulting terms for Ryan’s Consulting. These terms should be reviewed for the final business entity, jurisdiction, insurance, payment processor, and service model before public launch.
1. Informational website
Website content is provided for general information and does not create a consultant-client relationship. A project begins only after both parties accept a written scope, proposal, or service agreement.
2. Scope and client responsibilities
Deliverables, access, timing, assumptions, and fees will be defined in writing. Clients are responsible for providing accurate information, timely approvals, lawful content, and appropriate account access.
3. Fees, invoices, and refunds
Payment schedules and accepted methods will be stated in the project agreement or invoice. Deposits and completed work are generally non-refundable unless the written agreement states otherwise. If a project is cancelled, the client remains responsible for authorized work completed and non-recoverable expenses.
4. Third-party platforms
Services may involve Shopify, WordPress, hosting providers, payment processors, marketplaces, shipping platforms, or other third parties. Their availability, policies, fees, security, and service interruptions are outside my control.
5. No guaranteed business outcome
Recommendations and implementation support do not guarantee revenue, traffic, rankings, sales, uptime, or other commercial results.
6. Confidentiality and intellectual property
Confidential client information will be handled with reasonable care. Ownership and licensing of custom deliverables, client materials, templates, and pre-existing tools will be defined in the written project agreement.
7. Limitation and final agreement
Any limitation of liability, indemnity, dispute process, governing law, and insurance-related terms should be established in the signed service agreement. When a project agreement conflicts with these website terms, the signed agreement controls.
