Legal
Terms of Service
The terms that govern your use of our website and Services.
1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legal agreement between you (“you,” “Client,” or “user”) and HRGC Mentors LLC (“HRGC Mentors,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a limited liability company formed in the State of Wyoming, United States. They govern your use of https://www.hrgcmentors.net (the “Site”) and any services we provide (the “Services”).
By accessing the Site, contacting us, or purchasing Services, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Refund & Cancellation Policy, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or Services.
2. Definitions
- “Services” means the IT consulting and software-development services described on the Site, including custom software development, web development, cloud and DevOps, systems integration, IT advisory, and application support.
- “SOW” means a written statement of work, proposal, or order that describes specific deliverables, fees, and timelines for an engagement.
- “Deliverables” means the work product we create for you under an SOW.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. If you act on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms.
4. Services and statements of work
We provide professional Services on a project or retainer basis. The specific scope, deliverables, fees, and schedule for each engagement are set out in an SOW agreed in writing by both parties. In the event of a conflict between an SOW and these Terms, the SOW controls for that engagement.
Estimates and timelines are good-faith projections based on the information available at the time. Changes to scope are handled through a written change request and may affect fees and schedule.
5. Fees, payment, and taxes
Fees are stated in U.S. dollars (USD) and are described in the applicable SOW or on our Pricing page. We offer two payment methods:
- Card payments online. Standardized packages and subscriptions may be paid by debit or credit card through our payment processor, Stripe, Inc. Card payments are subject to Stripe’s terms. We do not store full card numbers.
- Invoiced engagements. Custom projects are invoiced, typically with a deposit to begin and the balance billed by milestone, on Net-15 or Net-30 terms unless the SOW states otherwise.
Unless otherwise stated, fees are exclusive of applicable taxes; you are responsible for any sales, use, or similar taxes (other than taxes on our income). Undisputed invoices not paid when due may accrue interest at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum permitted by law, and we may suspend Services until payment is received.
6. Refunds and cancellation
Deposits, milestone billing, cancellation rights, and the circumstances under which fees are refundable are described in our Refund & Cancellation Policy. Please review it before purchasing.
7. Client responsibilities
To deliver the Services, we rely on your timely cooperation. You agree to provide accurate information, necessary access and materials, and prompt feedback and approvals. You represent that any content, data, or materials you provide do not infringe third-party rights and that you have the right to share them with us. Delays caused by late inputs may affect timelines and fees.
8. Intellectual property
Your deliverables. Upon our receipt of full payment for an engagement, we assign to you all right, title, and interest in the custom Deliverables created specifically for you under the applicable SOW, except for Pre-Existing IP and Third-Party Materials described below.
Pre-existing IP. We retain ownership of tools, libraries, frameworks, templates, and know-how that we owned or developed independently of your engagement (“Pre-Existing IP”). To the extent Pre-Existing IP is embedded in a Deliverable, we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use it as part of that Deliverable.
Third-party materials. Open-source and third-party components are licensed to you under their own license terms. Portfolio. Unless an SOW states otherwise, we may identify you as a client and describe the general nature of the work for marketing and portfolio purposes, without disclosing your confidential information.
9. Confidentiality
Each party may receive confidential information from the other. The receiving party will use it only to perform under these Terms, protect it with reasonable care, and not disclose it except to personnel or subcontractors bound by similar obligations. Confidentiality does not apply to information that is public through no fault of the receiving party, independently developed, or required to be disclosed by law.
10. Third-party services
The Services may rely on third-party platforms such as payment processors (Stripe), cloud providers, and software vendors. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, availability, or terms of third parties, and your use of their services may be subject to their own terms and policies.
11. Warranties and disclaimers
We warrant that the Services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with generally accepted industry standards. As your sole remedy for a breach of this warranty, we will re-perform the affected Services at no additional charge, provided you notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of delivery.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED, THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO US FOR THE SPECIFIC SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
13. Indemnification
By you. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless HRGC Mentors LLC and its members, officers, and personnel from any third-party claims, damages, and reasonable expenses arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Services, or content or materials you provide to us.
By us. We will indemnify you against third-party claims that the custom Deliverables we create for you, as delivered, infringe a U.S. patent, copyright, or trade secret, provided you promptly notify us, permit us to control the defense and settlement, and reasonably cooperate. This obligation does not apply to Pre-Existing IP or third-party/open-source components, to your modifications, or to use of a Deliverable in combination with materials not supplied by us. This indemnity is subject to the limitation of liability in section 12 and is your exclusive remedy for infringement claims.
14. Term and termination
These Terms apply while you use the Site or Services. Either party may terminate an engagement as provided in the applicable SOW or the Refund & Cancellation Policy. Upon termination, you will pay for Services performed and non-cancellable costs incurred up to the termination date. Sections that by their nature should survive (including IP, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) survive termination.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally first. Any dispute not resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Wyoming, and the parties consent to venue there. Nothing prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version. Material changes will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, communicated to active clients. Your continued use of the Site or Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
17. General
These Terms, together with any applicable SOW and the policies referenced above, are the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter and supersede prior agreements. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control (force majeure).
