Welcome to Notes Key (noteskey.com). These Terms of Service govern your use of our websites, any client or project portals we provide, and professional services including custom software, web development, SEO, and content writing. Specific scopes, timelines, and fees may also be set out in a separate proposal, statement of work, or order form.

01

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing our websites, creating an account we require, or purchasing or using our services, you confirm that you:

  • Are at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract, or are using our services on behalf of an organization that accepts these Terms

  • Will comply with applicable laws, including those relating to data protection, export, and acceptable use of networks and APIs

If you do not agree, do not use our websites or services.

02

Accounts & Access

To use hosted tools, staging environments, or client portals we provide, you may need an account. You agree to:

Provide accurate business contact details and keep them up to date
Safeguard passwords, API keys, and integration secrets; enable MFA when offered
Be responsible for actions taken under your credentials, including by your team members

We may suspend or terminate access that jeopardizes security, violates law, or breaches these Terms or an active SOW.

03

Services & Deliverables

Unless a written agreement says otherwise, we will deliver professional technology services with reasonable skill and care, according to an agreed scope (proposal, SOW, or ticket queue).

Upon full payment for applicable deliverables, you receive the usage rights described in your agreement (e.g. license to custom code, designs, or content produced for you)
  • You may not reverse-engineer, resell, or sublicense our proprietary tools, templates, or internal libraries except as expressly licensed
  • Change requests, out-of-scope work, or third-party license fees may require a separate estimate or approval
04

Payments & Billing

Fees, deposits, and milestones are due per your quote or SOW; work may pause if invoices are overdue
Rates and estimates may change for new engagements; existing signed agreements control current projects
Refunds (if any) follow the refund language in your agreement or applicable consumer law

We may refuse service or cancel outstanding work for non-payment, fraud risk, or abuse.

05

Intellectual Property

Our websites, branding, methodologies, pre-existing code libraries, and internal tools remain the property of Notes Key (or our licensors). Custom deliverables paid for by you are addressed in your SOW. Protected materials may include:

Source Code Copy & SEO Content UI/UX & Media Docs & Reports

Without a written license you may not:

  • Copy, scrape, or redistribute our site content or proprietary frameworks
  • Remove notices, attempt to extract trade secrets, or misrepresent ownership of our work product
06

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse our systems or services. Prohibited conduct includes:

Distributing malware, conducting unauthorized penetration tests, or probing our infrastructure without permission
Harassment, hate speech, or threats directed at our team or other users
Circumventing security controls, scraping in bulk, or overloading APIs contrary to reasonable use
Using our deliverables or hosting to violate law or third-party rights (including spam and IP infringement)

We may suspend access, remove content, or pursue remedies available under law or contract.

07

Client Materials

You may provide assets such as logos, copy, data exports, credentials, or third-party API access so we can perform the services. You represent that you have the rights to share those materials and grant Notes Key a limited license to use them solely to deliver the agreed work.

You remain responsible for the accuracy and legality of content and data you supply
We may rely on your approvals, staging sign-offs, or written change requests to finalize deliverables
We are not obligated to vet every third-party asset for IP claims—that remains your responsibility
08

Service Availability

We host and maintain digital properties using commercially reasonable efforts. Unless an SLA is expressly signed, we do not warrant:

100% uptime for websites, APIs, or third-party dependencies (e.g. DNS, CDNs, cloud regions)
Bug-free releases; hotfixes and maintenance windows may occur

We may deploy updates, rotate credentials, or retire legacy features to protect security and performance. Critical changes affecting production should follow communication channels in your agreement.

09

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

To the maximum extent permitted by law we disclaim liability for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption arising from reliance on our websites or deliverables.

Technology projects involve shared responsibilities (hosting accounts you control, third-party APIs, content you approve). Your use of our services is at your own risk except where liability cannot be limited by law.

Termination

We May
  • Suspend or terminate access to portals, repos, or environments for breach, non-payment, or security risk
  • Withhold further delivery until outstanding fees or approvals are resolved
You May
  • Cancel future work subject to your agreement and any fees already earned

Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms as our services evolve (new offerings, regulatory requirements, or security practices). Continued use of our websites after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law. For material changes affecting active paid engagements, we will use reasonable notice channels described in your agreement.

Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
