Terms of Service
1. Agreement to terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the BrindLeaf website at brindleaf.com (the "Site") and, at a general level, the services BrindLeaf provides. By using the Site — browsing it, submitting an intake form, or sending a message through the Contact page — you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.
2. About BrindLeaf
BrindLeaf is currently operated as a sole proprietorship. If BrindLeaf is later operated by a successor entity (for example, if it is incorporated as an LLC or corporation), that entity automatically assumes the rights and obligations under these Terms — you won't need to sign anything new, and these Terms continue to apply without interruption.
3. Services described
BrindLeaf provides web design, SEO, AI integration, app building, and website management services. The Site lets you describe a project through an intake form so BrindLeaf can review it and respond.
4. Project engagements are governed by a separate contract
These Terms cover use of the website — they are not the contract for any specific project. If BrindLeaf takes on your project, the scope, timeline, deliverables, and payment terms for that engagement are set out in a separate contract signed directly with you. Where anything in a signed project contract conflicts with these Terms, the signed contract controls for that project.
5. No guarantee of results
BrindLeaf will act in good faith and in line with reasonable professional practice, but does not guarantee specific outcomes — including specific search rankings, traffic, conversion rates, or other business results — from any web design, SEO, or AI integration work. Statements about approach or strategy are not promises of a particular result.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Site to submit false or fraudulent information, attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the Site or its systems, or use the Site for any unlawful purpose.
7. Intellectual property
You retain ownership of the content, project details, and files you submit through the Site. The Site's own design, code, and branding belong to BrindLeaf. Ownership of deliverables produced for a specific project is addressed in that project's separate signed contract, not in these Terms.
8. Third-party services
The Site relies on third-party infrastructure to operate — including hosting, database and file storage, and email delivery. Details of what's collected and who processes it are in the Privacy Policy.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, BrindLeaf is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
11. Termination
BrindLeaf may restrict or terminate access to the Site for anyone who violates these Terms. Termination of Site access does not, by itself, terminate a separately signed project contract, which is governed by its own terms.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or use of the Site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York.
13. Changes to these terms
These Terms may be updated from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
14. Contact
Questions about these Terms can be sent through the Contact page.
