The specific services to be provided by the Company to a Client shall be outlined in a separate service agreement, statement of work, proposal, or engagement letter (collectively, "Service Agreement"). Each Service Agreement shall be governed by these Terms of Service unless otherwise expressly stated. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a Service Agreement, the terms of the Service Agreement shall prevail with respect to the specific services described therein.
No engagement for Services shall be deemed to exist until a Service Agreement has been signed by both parties and, where applicable, any required deposit or advance payment has been received by the Company.
Any proposal, estimate, or quote provided by the Company (a "Proposal") is valid for the period stated therein or, if no period is stated, for thirty (30) days from the date of issuance. All Proposals are subject to these Terms of Service. The Company reserves the right to withdraw or modify any Proposal prior to acceptance by the Client.
Each Proposal shall specify the scope of work, deliverables, timeline, fees, payment schedule, and any assumptions or exclusions. Work outside the defined scope shall be subject to additional fees as mutually agreed upon in writing.
The Client agrees to:
Failure by the Client to fulfill these responsibilities may result in delays, increased costs, or termination of the engagement, for which the Client shall remain fully responsible.
Both parties acknowledge that, in the course of an engagement, they may receive access to Confidential Information of the other party. Each party agrees to: (a) hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence; (b) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the disclosing party; (c) use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of performing obligations under the engagement; and (d) return or destroy all Confidential Information upon the termination of the engagement or upon request.
The obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) was rightfully in the receiving party's possession prior to disclosure; (iii) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information; or (iv) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, provided that the receiving party gives prompt notice to the disclosing party to allow for protective measures.
These confidentiality obligations shall survive the termination of these Terms and any Service Agreement for a period of three (3) years, or indefinitely for trade secrets as defined by applicable law.
The fees for Services shall be as set forth in the applicable Proposal or Service Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars and are exclusive of any taxes, duties, or other governmental charges.
Payment terms shall be as specified in the applicable Service Agreement. In the absence of specific payment terms, invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. The Company reserves the right to charge interest on any overdue amounts at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.
All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise expressly stated in the Service Agreement. The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate Services if payment is not received within the specified payment terms. The Client shall reimburse the Company for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting overdue payments, including attorneys' fees and court costs.
The Client shall be responsible for all sales, use, excise, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes imposed by any governmental authority in connection with the Services, excluding taxes based on the Company's net income. If the Company is required to pay any such taxes on behalf of the Client, the Client shall reimburse the Company accordingly.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, or assigns be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to: loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or cost of procurement of substitute services, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the Site, or the Services, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The Company's total cumulative liability to the Client for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the total amount of fees paid by the Client to the Company in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise.
The parties acknowledge that the fees charged by the Company reflect the allocation of risk set forth in this section and that the Company would not enter into any engagement without these limitations. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless STARTING FROM SCRATCH, INC., its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to:
The Company reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you shall cooperate with the Company in asserting any available defenses. You shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent of the Company if such settlement would impose any obligation or restriction on the Company.
THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE COMPANY OR THROUGH THE SITE SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the above disclaimers may not apply to you. In such cases, the disclaimers shall be construed to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

In the event of termination of a Service Agreement, the Client shall pay the Company for all Services performed and expenses incurred up to the effective date of termination. Any provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall so survive, including but not limited to provisions relating to intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.
Upon termination, your right to access and use the Site and Services shall immediately cease. The Company shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access or use.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to these Terms.
Informal Resolution: Before filing any claim, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting the other party with a written description of the dispute. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days to resolve the matter.
Binding Arbitration: If the dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiation, any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Austin, Texas, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
Class Action Waiver: YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings shall be conducted only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information.
Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms or any Service Agreement if such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond the party's reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, epidemic, governmental action or regulation, strikes or labor disputes, fire, flood, earthquake, power outages, internet service interruptions, telecommunications failures, or any other event that is unforeseeable and outside the control of the affected party.
The affected party shall promptly notify the other party of the force majeure event and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of the event and resume performance as soon as practicable. If the force majeure event continues for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected Service Agreement without further liability, except that the Client shall pay for all Services rendered and expenses incurred prior to the date of termination.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable and valid, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. The unenforceable or invalid provision shall be interpreted in a manner that best reflects the original intent of the parties.
In the event that a provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, that provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
These Terms of Service, together with any Service Agreements, Proposals, statements of work, and any other documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and STARTING FROM SCRATCH, INC. with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements, whether oral or written, relating to such subject matter.
Each party acknowledges that in entering into these Terms and any Service Agreement, it has not relied on any representation, warranty, or promise not expressly set forth herein. No modification or amendment to these Terms shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each party.
Any failure by the Company to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. The headings used in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision.
No waiver of any term or condition of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. Any waiver by the Company of any provision of these Terms must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company to be effective.
The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The exercise by either party of any of its remedies hereunder shall be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise available at law or in equity.
No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.
