Terms of Service

1. Who We Are

These Terms govern web design and development services provided by Black Sands Media LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, c/o its registered agent at [REGISTERED AGENT ADDRESS — fill in from your Harvard Business Services paperwork]. (“Black Sands”, “we”, “us”). By engaging us or purchasing a package you agree to these Terms.

2. Scope of Work

The specific deliverables, timeline, and price for your project are set out in your project proposal or invoice. Anything not listed there is out of scope and will be quoted separately. Package descriptions on this website are indicative and do not by themselves form a contract.

3. Revisions

Each package includes a defined number of revision rounds, stated in your proposal. Additional revisions are billed at our then-current hourly rate.

4. Client Responsibilities

You are responsible for supplying content (text, images, video, links, platform details) in a timely manner. Projects delayed more than 30 days awaiting client materials may be paused and re-scheduled.

5. Content Warranties

You represent and warrant that: (a) every person depicted in any content you supply was at least 18 years of age at the time of creation; (b) you have obtained and maintain all records required by 18 U.S.C. § 2257 and its implementing regulations where applicable; (c) you hold all rights necessary to use the content you supply; and (d) your content and business comply with all applicable laws. You agree to indemnify Black Sands against any claim arising from a breach of these warranties.

6. Prohibited Content

We will not build, host, or assist with any site involving minors, non-consensual material, trafficking, or any other unlawful content. We terminate immediately and without refund upon discovering such material, and will cooperate fully with law enforcement.

7. Payment

A deposit is required to begin work and is non-refundable. The balance is due before launch or handover. Care Plan fees are billed monthly in advance.

8. Intellectual Property

On receipt of final payment, ownership of the custom design and content produced for your project transfers to you. Third-party themes, plugins, fonts, and stock assets remain licensed under their own terms. We retain the right to reuse generic underlying code, techniques, and components.

9. Portfolio Rights

We may reference completed work in our portfolio only with your written permission. Discretion runs both ways.

10. Limitation of Liability

Our total liability arising from any project is limited to the amount you paid us for that project. We are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, platform deplatforming, payment processor decisions, or any indirect or consequential loss.

11. No Guarantee of Results

We do not guarantee traffic, rankings, subscriber counts, revenue, or that any third-party platform or payment processor will accept or continue to serve you.

12. Termination

Either party may terminate with written notice. You remain liable for work completed to the date of termination.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
