1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the services provided by CleverStack ("we," "us," or "our"), including our website at cleverstack.dev and all related development, consulting, and digital services, you ("Client" or "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use our services. These terms apply to all clients, visitors, and users of our services, regardless of geographic location, including but not limited to clients in the USA, UK, Europe, and Nigeria.
2. Services Description
CleverStack is a full-stack development studio providing website development, web application development, e-commerce solutions, CMS development, SEO optimization, speed optimization, UI/UX design, and ongoing maintenance services. The scope, deliverables, timeline, and pricing for each project will be defined in a separate written agreement, proposal, or statement of work (SOW) agreed upon by both parties prior to the commencement of work.
We reserve the right to refuse or terminate any project at our discretion if we determine that the project requirements fall outside our areas of expertise or could result in outcomes inconsistent with our quality standards.
3. Payment Terms
Payment terms will be specified in the project proposal or SOW. Unless otherwise agreed in writing:
- A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total project fee is required before work begins.
- The remaining balance is due upon project completion and before final delivery of source files or deployment to the client's production environment.
- For ongoing retainer or maintenance services, invoices are issued monthly and are due within 14 days of the invoice date.
- Late payments may incur a fee of 2% per week on the outstanding balance.
- All prices are quoted in US Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified. Clients are responsible for any currency conversion fees charged by their payment provider.
4. Intellectual Property
Upon receipt of full payment for a project, CleverStack grants the Client full ownership of the final deliverables, including all custom code, designs, and assets created specifically for the project. This excludes:
- Third-party libraries, frameworks, plugins, and stock assets used under their respective licenses.
- CleverStack's proprietary tools, frameworks, boilerplate code, and internal utilities, which remain the property of CleverStack.
- Any pre-existing intellectual property owned by either party prior to the engagement.
CleverStack reserves the right to display completed projects in its portfolio, case studies, and marketing materials unless the Client explicitly requests confidentiality in writing prior to the start of the project.
5. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CleverStack shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to the use of our services. Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or related to a project shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client for that specific project.
CleverStack is not responsible for losses resulting from third-party service outages, hosting failures, domain expiration, plugin vulnerabilities, or changes in third-party platform policies beyond our control. Clients are responsible for maintaining their own hosting, domain registrations, and third-party service accounts.
6. Termination
Either party may terminate a project engagement with 14 days' written notice. In the event of termination:
- The Client is responsible for payment of all work completed up to the date of termination.
- If the Client terminates without cause, the initial deposit is non-refundable.
- If CleverStack terminates without cause, any work completed beyond the deposit amount will be invoiced and due within 14 days.
- All completed deliverables and source files for which payment has been received will be transferred to the Client within 14 business days of final payment.
7. Governing Law
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms or the services provided shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties.
For clients based in the USA, UK, or EU, the parties acknowledge that these services are provided remotely from Nigeria and that Nigerian law applies regardless of the Client's location. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any rights that the Client may have under the consumer protection laws applicable in their jurisdiction. Where mandatory local consumer protections apply, such provisions shall override any conflicting terms in this agreement to the extent required by applicable law.
If any dispute cannot be resolved amicably within 30 days, either party may refer the matter to the courts of competent jurisdiction in Oyo State, Nigeria.
