These Terms & Conditions govern your use of sdtechnologist.com and the services we provide. By engaging us or using the site, you agree to them.
1. Who we are
“SDTechnologist”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean SDTechnologist Ltd, the company identified above. “You” means the person or organization using the site or engaging our services.
2. Our services
We provide personal websites and portfolios, AI assistants for inquiries, bookings and content, book publishing and author services, and media features and press for individual professionals. We also offer Wikipedia-related notability, drafting and disclosed-editing services. The scope, deliverables, price and timeline for each project are set out in a written quote, proposal or statement of work (“SOW”) that you accept. The SOW forms part of our agreement together with these Terms. If they conflict, the SOW applies to that project.
3. Payment
- Smaller projects: payment in full before work begins.
- Larger projects: a 50% deposit before work begins and the remaining 50% on delivery.
- Very large projects: payment in milestones tied to agreed deliverables, as set out in the SOW.
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Prices are in US dollars unless we agree otherwise in writing. Third-party costs that the SOW says are not included, such as government copyright filing fees or advertising and distribution fees charged by outside platforms, are paid at cost.
4. Refunds
- Work has not started: full refund of anything you paid.
- Work has started but is not finished: a 50% refund of the amount paid for the unfinished part.
- Work has been completed and delivered: no refund.
For Wikipedia-related work, our fees pay for the research, drafting and disclosed submission that we perform, not for a guaranteed outcome. No agency can guarantee that Wikipedia will accept or keep a page, so these refund tiers apply according to the work completed, whatever Wikipedia’s editors decide. The same principle applies to media features and press: fees pay for the work of pitching and producing, not for a guaranteed placement.
5. Cancellation
You may cancel a project at any time by telling us in writing. Cancellation is handled under the refund terms in section 4, based on how much work has been completed.
6. Intellectual property
Who owns the finished work depends on whether a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) has been signed for the project:
- With a signed NDA: we keep no ownership rights in the final deliverables, and all intellectual property in the completed work passes to you once you have paid in full.
- Without a signed NDA: we keep the rights to our underlying frameworks, reusable components and general methods. You may use, operate and modify the specific deliverables we provide for your own professional purposes.
Unless you ask for confidentiality in writing, we may refer to completed projects in our portfolio and marketing materials.
7. Materials you give us
You confirm that you own, or have permission to use, everything you give us, such as text, photographs, recordings and credentials, and that what you tell us about yourself is accurate. You are responsible for approving the final content published in your name, including the accuracy of any statement about your qualifications, experience or results. We will not publish claims we believe to be false or misleading.
8. AI assistants, media and sponsored content
- AI-generated text and replies can contain mistakes. We set up review and hand-off rules with you, but you remain responsible for how you use an assistant and for anything published in your name.
- Sponsored articles and paid editing are always labeled as the law and each platform’s policies require. We do not guarantee earned coverage, placement, rankings, approvals or book sales, because they depend on independent editors, readers, platforms and search engines.
9. Support after launch
Any support after launch, and how long it lasts, is set out in the SOW. If it does not mention support, ongoing support and maintenance can be quoted separately on request.
10. Acceptable use
You agree not to use our site or services for anything unlawful, to infringe anyone’s rights, or to try to gain unauthorized access to our systems or anyone else’s.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability arising from any service is limited to the fees you paid for that service in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive loss, including lost profit, revenue, data or opportunity, even if we were told it was possible.
These limits do not apply to liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, breach of confidentiality, infringement of intellectual property rights, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. Nothing in these Terms removes rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law where you live.
12. Disclaimers
Estimators, examples and AI-generated suggestions are planning aids, not guaranteed outcomes, professional advice or binding commitments outside an agreed SOW. See our Disclaimer for more.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms and any dispute arising from them or from our services are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, wherever you are located. This does not limit any mandatory rights you have as a consumer in your own country.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date above shows the current version. Changes do not affect a project already under an accepted SOW unless we both agree.
