About these terms

CodeGenius Studios provides websites, web applications, business systems, e-commerce solutions, API integrations, and cloud and DevOps services. These Terms of Service govern use of this website and set out the general conditions for our professional services.

A proposal, quotation, statement of work or signed project agreement may contain additional or different terms. Where there is a conflict, the signed project-specific agreement will take priority for that engagement.

02

Website use

You may use this website only for lawful purposes. You must not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, misuse its content, or use it in a way that infringes another person's rights.

Information on this website is provided for general information. Service descriptions, availability, estimates and examples do not form a binding offer until confirmed by us in writing.

03

Project engagements

Work begins after the scope, fees, timeline and any required deposit have been agreed in writing. The applicable proposal or agreement will define the specific deliverables, milestones and acceptance process.

Any dates given before we receive required content, access, approvals or payment are estimates and may be adjusted when those dependencies are delayed.

04

Client responsibilities

The client is responsible for:

  • Providing accurate requirements, content, brand assets and access when requested.
  • Giving consolidated feedback and approvals within the agreed timeframes.
  • Ensuring supplied text, images, data and other materials may lawfully be used.
  • Appointing an authorised contact who can make project decisions.
  • Reviewing deliverables and reporting concerns promptly.

Delays in these responsibilities may move milestones and the final delivery date. Substantial inactivity may require the project to be rescheduled.

05

Fees and payment

Fees, deposits, instalments, taxes, expenses and payment dates are stated in the applicable quotation or agreement. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, third-party costs such as domains, hosting, licences, payment-gateway charges and paid services are separate from our professional fees.

We may pause work or withhold deployment, handover or transfer of project assets when an amount is overdue. Deposits and refunds will be handled according to the project-specific agreement and the work already completed or committed.

06

Scope, revisions and change requests

The agreed scope defines what is included in the project. Revisions are limited to the number or review rounds stated in the proposal. Requests for new features, additional pages, changed requirements, further revisions or work outside the approved scope may require a revised timeline and additional fee.

We will explain the likely impact and seek written approval before proceeding with chargeable out-of-scope work.

07

Delivery and acceptance

We will deliver work through the method agreed for the project. The client must review each milestone and notify us of any material non-conformity within the agreed review period. If no issue is reported within that period, the deliverable may be treated as accepted.

Launch dates depend on timely approvals, access, content, payment and third-party services. We are not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

08

Intellectual property and portfolio use

The client retains ownership of materials they supply. Unless a project agreement states otherwise, ownership of the final, client-specific deliverables transfers after full payment of all amounts due.

Pre-existing tools, reusable components, development methods, frameworks, open-source software and third-party materials remain owned by their respective owners and may be subject to separate licences.

Unless confidentiality has been agreed in writing, we may identify the client and display non-confidential completed work in our portfolio, proposals and promotional channels. We will honour any agreed embargo or confidentiality restriction.

09

Third-party services

Projects may depend on external providers such as hosting companies, domain registrars, cloud platforms, payment processors, email providers, APIs, plugins and open-source packages. Their services are governed by their own terms, pricing, availability and policies.

We will use reasonable care when recommending or integrating them, but we cannot guarantee their uninterrupted operation or be responsible for changes, failures or discontinuation beyond our control.

10

Warranty, maintenance and support

Any warranty period will be stated in the project agreement. Unless otherwise agreed, warranty support is limited to correcting reproducible errors caused by the delivered work not operating in accordance with the approved scope.

Warranty support does not include new features, content changes, redesigns, problems caused by client or third-party modifications, unsupported environments, third-party service failures, misuse, or work outside the original scope. Ongoing maintenance and support require a separate agreement unless expressly included.

11

Confidentiality and personal data

Each party will take reasonable steps to protect confidential information received for a project and will use it only for the engagement, except where disclosure is authorised or required by law.

Personal information submitted through this website or processed during a project will be handled in accordance with applicable Kenyan data protection law and our Privacy Policy. Clients remain responsible for ensuring their own collection and use of personal data is lawful.

12

Suspension and termination

Either party may terminate a project as provided in the applicable agreement. We may suspend or terminate work for material breach, unlawful instructions, persistent non-payment, abusive conduct or prolonged client inactivity after reasonable notice.

On termination, the client must pay for completed work, approved expenses and non-cancellable commitments up to the termination date. Handover and usage rights remain subject to payment and the relevant project agreement.

13

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, neither party will be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, including loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, goodwill or data. Our total liability relating to a project will not exceed the fees paid to us for the specific services giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. The client is responsible for maintaining appropriate backups and business continuity arrangements unless those services are expressly included in writing.

14

Changes, disputes and governing law

We may update these terms by publishing a revised version on this page. Changes apply from the stated update date and do not replace agreed project-specific terms retrospectively.

The parties should first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith discussion. These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, and unresolved disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Kenyan courts unless another written agreement provides a different lawful process.

These general terms work alongside your approved proposal, quotation or signed project agreement. They do not replace the specific commercial terms agreed for an individual project.
