Terms of Service
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
Welcome to Hikari Webworks. By accessing our website or engaging with our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. These terms are effective immediately upon your use of our site. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our website or services.
Services
Hikari Webworks is a digital engineering studio specializing in high-performance websites, AI automation systems, and digital growth strategies.
Our services are provided on a project basis. Specific deliverables, timelines, and costs will always be defined and agreed upon in a separate proposal or contract before any work begins. We believe in clarity - you will always know what you are paying for.
Use of Website
You agree to use our website responsibly and legally. You must not use our site to transmit harmful code, engage in abusive behavior, or violate any local or international laws. We reserve the right to restrict access to anyone who misuses our digital property.
Project Engagement & Payments
We start work only after we have a mutual agreement on scope and terms.
- Agreement: No hidden work. All scope is documented.
- Payments: Payment schedules (e.g., 50% deposit) will be outlined in your invoice/contract.
- Timelines: We respect deadlines. Prompt payments and feedback from your side help us keep your project on track. Late payments may result in paused work.
Intellectual Property
Our Site: All content on this website (text, code, designs, logos) is the property of Hikari Webworks unless otherwise stated. Please do not copy or reproduce without permission.
Your Project: Ownership of deliverables we create for you will be defined in our project agreement. Typically, upon full payment, you own the final product, while we retain the right to showcase the work in our portfolio.
Confidentiality
We treat your business information with the highest level of care. Any proprietary information, trade secrets, or sensitive data shared with us during a project will be kept strictly confidential and used only for the purpose of completing your project.
Third-Party Tools
We may utilize third-party platforms (like Hosting providers, Analytics, or AI APIs) to build or power your solution. While we choose partners carefully, we are not responsible for service outages, policy changes, or data handling practices of these third-party providers.
Limitation of Liability
We strive for excellence, but technology is complex. Hikari Webworks is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our services. We do not guarantee specific marketing results (like "Rank #1 on Google") as these depend on external factors. Our liability is limited to the professional fees paid for the specific service in question.
Termination
Professional relationships rely on mutual respect. Either party may terminate a project engagement with written notice if the other party breaches the agreement or for other valid reasons defined in our contract. In such an event, any work completed up to the termination date remains billable.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms of Service periodically to reflect changes in our business or legal requirements. Your continued use of our website or services after any changes implies your acceptance of the new terms.
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in India.
