Terms of Service

Effective Date: September 26, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing this website and engaging DevMarlo for web development, system analysis, or maintenance services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

2. Services Provided

DevMarlo provides freelance web development, WordPress customization, front-end development (React/Vue/PHP), server administration, and CRM/SEO integrations. Project scope, timelines, and deliverables will be explicitly defined in a separate proposal or contract before work begins.

3. Intellectual Property

Upon full payment for the agreed-upon services, the client retains ownership of the final website design, content, and tailored assets. DevMarlo retains the right to reuse standard code libraries, generic scripts, and open-source frameworks. DevMarlo also reserves the right to display the completed project in the portfolio unless a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is signed.

4. Payment Terms

Projects generally require an upfront deposit (e.g., 50%) before development begins, with the remaining balance due upon project completion and before the final site launch or file transfer. Late payments may result in a suspension of services or hosting.

5. Revisions and Scope Creep

Each project includes a specified number of revision rounds. Requests outside the original agreed-upon scope (scope creep) will be billed at a standard hourly rate or quoted separately.

6. Limitation of Liability

DevMarlo aims to deliver secure and error-free digital solutions; however, the services are provided "as is." DevMarlo is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from website downtime, server failures, third-party plugin conflicts, or data loss.

7. Termination

Either party may terminate a project with written notice. In the event of termination, the client will be invoiced for all work completed up to the date of cancellation.
