Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Bezalel Nexus website (the “Site”) and any services we provide. By accessing the Site or engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Bezalel Nexus (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a web design studio operated by Michael Adebayo, based in Lagos, Nigeria.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use the Site or our services.

2. About Our Services

We provide design, branding, and custom web development services to businesses and individuals globally. Services are delivered under separate written agreements (“Service Agreements” or “Project Contracts”) that detail scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees specific to each engagement.

These Terms apply to general use of our website and to client engagements except where a signed Service Agreement specifies otherwise. Where conflict exists between these Terms and a signed Service Agreement, the Service Agreement prevails.

3. Use of the Site

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes. You may not:

• Use the Site in any way that breaches applicable laws or regulations
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its servers, or related systems
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to extract data from the Site without our written permission
• Upload or transmit malicious code, viruses, or harmful content
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when contacting us
• Use the Site or its contents to compete with us or replicate our services

4. Intellectual Property

All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, images, brand assets, case studies, written content, and the underlying code — is the property of Bezalel Nexus or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any Site content without our prior written permission, except for fair-use circumstances permitted by law.

The Bezalel Nexus name, logo, and tagline (“Designed with precision. Built for growth.”) are trademarks of Bezalel Nexus. Unauthorised use is prohibited.

5. Client Engagements

When you engage us for services, the following general terms apply, subject to your specific Service Agreement:

a) Project Scope

Each engagement is defined by a written scope document, proposal, or Service Agreement specifying deliverables, timelines, and fees. Work outside the agreed scope is treated as a change request and may incur additional fees.

b) Payment Terms

Standard payment terms require a deposit (typically 60%) before work begins, with the remainder due at agreed milestones or project completion. Specific terms are detailed per engagement.

c) Revisions

Each project includes a defined number of revision rounds as outlined in the relevant Service Agreement. Additional revisions beyond the agreed scope may be billed separately.

d) Timelines

Project timelines are estimates and depend on timely client feedback, content delivery, and approvals. Delays caused by client-side dependencies may shift the completion date.

e) Intellectual Property Transfer

Upon full payment, ownership of final approved deliverables transfers to the client, with the following exceptions:

• Bezalel Nexus retains the right to display completed work in our portfolio and marketing materials unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing
• Third-party assets (fonts, stock imagery, plugins) remain subject to their original licenses
• Our underlying methodologies, processes, and pre-existing intellectual property remain ours

f) Cancellation

Either party may terminate an engagement under conditions defined in the Service Agreement. In general, fees for work completed up to the termination date remain payable.

6. Disclaimers

The Site and our services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

• The Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure at all times
• The information on the Site is complete, accurate, or current
• Any results or outcomes from our services are guaranteed

Design and development work involves judgement calls and creative decisions. While we apply professional standards and best practices, we do not guarantee specific business outcomes (such as traffic increases, conversion rates, or revenue) from work delivered.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Bezalel Nexus shall not be liable for:

• Indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages
• Loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities
• Damages arising from your use or inability to use the Site or services

In any case, our total liability for any claim related to our services shall not exceed the total fees paid by the client for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bezalel Nexus, its operator, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from:

• Your breach of these Terms
• Your misuse of the Site or services
• Content you provide to us that infringes third-party rights
• Your violation of applicable laws

9. Third-Party Tools and Services

Our services often involve third-party tools, platforms, and services (e.g., WordPress, hosting providers, payment processors, design plugins). We are not responsible for the availability, terms, or actions of these third parties. Their use is subject to their own terms and conditions.

10. Confidentiality

During engagements, we may receive confidential business information from clients. We treat such information as confidential and do not disclose it to third parties except as required for service delivery or by law. Mutual confidentiality terms may be defined in greater detail within individual Service Agreements or NDAs where applicable.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Lagos, Nigeria, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

For clients located in the UK, EU, or US, applicable consumer protection laws and rights in your jurisdiction may apply where mandated by law.

12. Dispute Resolution

Before initiating formal legal action, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any disputes through good-faith discussion. If resolution cannot be reached within 30 days, either party may pursue further action through the appropriate legal channels.

13. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform obligations under these Terms due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, civil unrest, government action, internet outages, or other force majeure events.

14. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated through prominent notice on the Site. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
