Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern the services provided by Lawal Olatunji Treasure (“I,” “me,” or “my”) to clients (“you” or “Client”) for web development, design, and related digital services.

By engaging my services, signing a project agreement, or making a payment for a project, you agree to these Terms.

These Terms should be read together with any project proposal, statement of work, or other written agreement provided for a specific project. Where a project-specific agreement contains terms that differ from these Terms, the project-specific agreement will apply to the extent of that difference.

Projects generally begin with a discovery or planning phase. This phase is used to establish the project requirements, scope, deliverables, and expected timeline.

Work begins after the Project Agreement has been accepted and the required deposit has been received.

The number of revision rounds included in a project will depend on the terms of the Project Agreement. Additional revisions or changes outside the agreed scope may incur additional charges.

The Client is responsible for providing the information, content, assets, approvals, and feedback required to keep the project moving. Delays in receiving these materials or responses may result in corresponding changes to the project timeline.

A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required before work begins, unless a different arrangement is specified in the Project Agreement.

The remaining project balance will be payable according to the milestone or payment schedule established in the Project Agreement.

Invoices that remain unpaid for more than 7 working days after their due date may incur a late fee of 10% per month and may result in the suspension of project work.

All stated fees are exclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise specified.

Refunds and cancellations are subject to the applicable terms of the Refund Policy or the specific Project Agreement.

The Client agrees to provide accurate project requirements, branding materials, content, images, credentials, and other information reasonably required to complete the project.

The Client should designate an appropriate point of contact for project communication, approvals, and feedback where necessary.

Where access to external services is required, the Client is responsible for providing the necessary access to services such as hosting providers, domain registrars, payment platforms, or other third-party systems.

The Client is responsible for reviewing and approving deliverables within the timeframes specified in the Project Agreement.

Delays caused by the Client’s failure to provide required materials, access, feedback, or approvals may result in adjusted project timelines and will not be considered delays caused by me.

Upon receipt and confirmation of full payment, the Client will own the final website design and custom code created specifically for their project, except for pre-existing tools, frameworks, libraries, components, reusable systems, or other intellectual property owned by me or third parties.

Until full payment has been received, all project work and work product remain my property.

I retain the right to display completed projects, screenshots, descriptions, and related materials in my portfolio, marketing materials, and case studies unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Third-party assets used in a project, including stock photography, fonts, plugins, themes, libraries, and other licensed materials, remain subject to their respective licensing terms.

The transfer of ownership of custom project work does not transfer ownership of third-party software, frameworks, libraries, tools, or services used to build the project.

Projects may require the use or integration of third-party services, including hosting providers, domain registrars, payment gateways, content management systems, APIs, plugins, software libraries, and other external platforms.

I am not responsible for outages, bugs, changes, restrictions, discontinuation, or other issues caused by third-party providers.

Fees charged directly by third-party providers, including domain registration, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), hosting, subscriptions, premium licenses, and other external services, are the responsibility of the Client unless otherwise agreed.

I am not responsible for losses or damages resulting from limitations, failures, changes, or interruptions of third-party services outside my direct control.

Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

I do not guarantee specific business outcomes from a completed project. This includes, but is not limited to, search engine rankings, website traffic, conversion rates, revenue, sales, or other commercial results.

I will perform agreed services in a professional manner consistent with generally accepted industry practices.

Defects in custom work that are reported within 7 days of delivery will be reviewed and, where they are determined to be defects in the agreed work, corrected at no additional cost.

This does not include changes to requirements, new features, content changes, third-party issues, or problems caused by modifications made after delivery.

No warranty is provided for third-party tools, plugins, platforms, or services integrated into a project.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, my total liability for any claim arising from or relating to my services will not exceed the total amount paid by the Client for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

I will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of profits, data, business opportunities, or expected revenue arising from the use of my services or deliverables.

I am also not responsible for downtime, data loss, security incidents, service interruptions, or other issues occurring on third-party hosting platforms or services outside my direct control.

Both parties agree to keep confidential any proprietary, sensitive, or non-public information shared during the course of a project.

Neither party should disclose such information to third parties without prior written consent, except where disclosure is required by law or is reasonably necessary to perform the agreed services.

This obligation does not apply to information that is already publicly available, independently developed, or lawfully obtained from another source.

Either party may terminate a Project Agreement by providing written notice, subject to the payment and cancellation terms applicable to the project.

If a project is terminated, the Client remains responsible for payment for work completed up to the termination date and for any other non-refundable amounts agreed under the Project Agreement.

I reserve the right to suspend or terminate services where payment is not received as agreed or where the Client engages in abusive, unlawful, fraudulent, or otherwise inappropriate conduct.

Upon termination, any outstanding obligations that are intended to survive termination, including payment obligations, confidentiality, intellectual property, and limitation of liability provisions, will remain in effect.

Where ongoing hosting or maintenance services are provided, those services will be billed according to the recurring terms specified in the applicable Project Agreement.

The Client may cancel future billing cycles by providing at least 7 days’ written notice, unless a different notice period is specified in the Project Agreement.

I am not responsible for issues caused by changes made to the website, server, configuration, codebase, or related services by the Client or unauthorized third parties.

Hosting and maintenance services may also depend on third-party providers whose availability, pricing, policies, and technical limitations are outside my control.

These Terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Nigeria, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Subject to the dispute resolution provisions below, disputes arising under these Terms will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in Benin City, Edo State.

If a dispute arises in connection with these Terms or a project, both parties agree to first make a reasonable effort to resolve the matter through good-faith communication and negotiation.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within 7 days, either party may pursue mediation or arbitration before taking further legal action, where applicable under Nigerian law.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent legal relief where such relief is reasonably necessary.

I may update or modify these Terms from time to time.

When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page together with a revised “Last updated” date.

Unless otherwise required by law, continued engagement of my services after updated Terms have been published constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

For existing projects, the Terms applicable to the project will generally be those agreed upon when the Project Agreement was entered into, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
