Welcome to JayDoolan.com (“I,” “me,” “my”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of my website, services, and products (collectively, the “Services”). By using my Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use my Services. Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using my Services.
1. Services Provided
1.1 Scope of Services: I offer WordPress development services, including but not limited to custom theme and plugin development, website design, website maintenance, and other related services as agreed upon with you.

1.2 Proposal and Acceptance: Before I start any work, I’ll provide you with a detailed proposal outlining the scope, timeline, and costs of the Services. Your acceptance of the proposal and payment of the initial deposit constitutes an agreement to these Terms.

1.3 Modifications to Services: I reserve the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice at any time. You agree that I shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services.
2. Client Responsibilities
2.1 Provision of Materials: You agree to provide me with all necessary content, materials, and information required to perform the Services in a timely manner. You are responsible for ensuring that all such materials are accurate, complete, and up-to-date.

2.2 Approval and Feedback: Your timely feedback and approvals are crucial to the progress of the project. Delays in providing feedback or approvals may result in delays in the completion of the Services.

2.3 Access and Permissions: You agree to provide me with the necessary access and permissions to your WordPress site, hosting account, and any other relevant resources to perform the Services. I am not liable for any delays or issues caused by a lack of access or permissions.

3.2 Deposit: A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total project cost is required before I begin work. This deposit will be applied towards the total project cost.

3.3 Payment Schedule: The remaining balance will be invoiced according to the payment schedule outlined in the proposal. Payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date. Late payments may incur interest at a rate of 10% per month. 3.4 Additional Costs: You are responsible for any additional costs incurred as a result of changes to the project scope, third-party services, or additional features requested by you that were not included in the original proposal.
4. Intellectual Property
4.1 Ownership of Deliverables: Upon full payment of all fees, I will transfer ownership of the final deliverables to you. However, I retain the right to use any code, designs, or other deliverables created during the project for my portfolio and promotional purposes.

4.2 Third-Party Materials: If I use any third-party materials or software in the course of providing the Services, you will be responsible for obtaining the necessary licenses and complying with all applicable terms and conditions.

4.3 Pre-Existing Intellectual Property: Any pre-existing intellectual property that I bring to the project, including but not limited to frameworks, libraries, and tools, shall remain my property. You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use such intellectual property solely in connection with the Services.
5. Confidentiality
5.1 Confidential Information: Both parties agree to keep confidential any information that is disclosed during the course of the project that is identified as confidential or that should reasonably be understood to be confidential.

7.1 No Liability for Indirect Damages: In no event shall I be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with the Services, even if I have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

7.2 Limitation of Liability: My total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the total fees paid by you to me under these Terms.
