TERMS OF
SERVICE.

Last updated: April 18, 2026

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the relationship between Techmines LLC ("Techmines," "we," "us," or "our") and any individual or entity ("Client," "you") that engages our services or uses this website.

By submitting a contact form, signing a proposal, or making any payment, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use our services.

Services

Techmines provides web design, web development, search engine optimization (SEO), custom application development, brand strategy, and marketing automation services. The specific deliverables, timeline, and scope for any engagement are defined in a written Proposal or Statement of Work ("SOW") issued and accepted prior to project commencement.

We reserve the right to decline any project at our sole discretion. Acceptance of a contact form submission does not constitute a binding services agreement — only a countersigned Proposal or SOW does.

Payment Terms

All projects require a deposit before work begins. Standard payment structure:

  • 50% deposit — due upon proposal acceptance to reserve your project slot
  • 25% milestone payment — due upon design approval before development begins
  • 25% final payment — due upon project completion before site launch or final file delivery

Invoices are payable within 7 days of issuance. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. We reserve the right to suspend work or withhold deliverables until all outstanding invoices are paid in full.

All prices are in USD. Techmines is not responsible for currency conversion losses on international payments.

Revisions Policy

Each project phase includes a defined number of revision rounds as stated in the Proposal. A "revision" is a refinement of an approved direction — not a change of concept, scope, or previously approved decisions.

  • Revision rounds beyond the included allocation are billed at our standard hourly rate
  • Scope changes requested after a phase has been approved are treated as new work and priced accordingly
  • Prolonged client silence (more than 14 days without feedback) may result in revised timelines and, at our discretion, a restart fee

Client Responsibilities

A successful project requires your active participation. You agree to:

  • Provide all required content, assets, credentials, and approvals in a timely manner
  • Designate a single point of contact with authority to approve decisions
  • Review and respond to deliverables within the timeframes specified in the SOW
  • Ensure all content, images, and trademarks you supply are legally cleared for use

Project delays caused by late client feedback or missing materials will not entitle the client to a refund and may result in revised delivery dates.

Intellectual Property & Ownership

Upon receipt of final payment in full, the client receives full ownership of all custom design and code deliverables created specifically for their project. This transfer includes:

  • Custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files
  • Original graphic and UI design assets
  • Written copy authored by Techmines on the client's behalf (if applicable)

The following are not included in the ownership transfer:

  • Third-party libraries, fonts, stock assets, or plugins governed by their own licenses
  • Techmines's internal frameworks, methodologies, or proprietary processes
  • Any tools or software used during production that require ongoing licenses

Prior to final payment, all work remains the intellectual property of Techmines. We retain the right to display completed work in our portfolio unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.

Cancellation & Refunds

Either party may terminate a project engagement with written notice. Upon termination:

  • Work completed to date is billable at the project's pro-rated rate
  • Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced
  • If Techmines terminates without cause, any deposit covering work not yet delivered will be refunded

No refunds are issued for completed and approved phases.

Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business information shared during the engagement. This includes client business strategies, unreleased products, financials, and any materials explicitly marked confidential. This obligation survives termination of the agreement for a period of three (3) years.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Techmines's total liability for any claim arising from or related to the services shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client in the six (6) months preceding the claim.

Techmines is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of revenue, lost profits, or business interruption — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. We do not guarantee specific SEO rankings, traffic levels, or conversion rates, as these depend on factors outside our control.

Warranties & Disclaimer

We warrant that our work will be completed with professional skill and care, and that custom deliverables will function as specified at the time of delivery. We do not warrant that deliverables will be error-free indefinitely or remain compatible with future third-party platform updates.

The website techminesllc.com is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Use of the site is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or a services engagement shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Active client agreements will not be retroactively altered without written mutual consent. For prospective engagements, the Terms in effect at the time of proposal acceptance govern the agreement.
