Terms of Service
Last updated: [PLACEHOLDER: date]
Internal note (remove before publishing): This page contains placeholder content and has not been legally reviewed. Every field marked [PLACEHOLDER] must be replaced with real company data. The text should be reviewed by a lawyer qualified in German/EU law before this goes live.
1. Scope
These Terms of Service govern (a) your use of this website, operated by [PLACEHOLDER: full legal company name], [PLACEHOLDER: registered address] ("Arkroot," "we," "us"), and (b) at a high level, the framework under which Arkroot provides software development and related services to clients. Specific engagements are governed by a separate signed agreement or statement of work, which takes precedence over this page for that engagement.
2. Use of this website
You may use this website to learn about Arkroot's services and to submit inquiries via the contact form. You agree not to misuse the site, including by attempting to disrupt its operation, submitting false information through the contact form, or scraping content without permission.
3. Quotes and pricing
Prices shown on this website (including on the Pricing page) are starting prices and indicative ranges, not binding offers. A binding, fixed price is only confirmed in writing after we've scoped your specific project, typically as part of a signed proposal or statement of work.
4. Engagement terms
[PLACEHOLDER: this section should summarize, or link to, the actual contractual terms used for client engagements — covering payment terms (e.g. milestone-based invoicing), intellectual property ownership upon full payment, confidentiality, warranty/support period after delivery, and termination rights. The authoritative version of these terms lives in the signed client agreement, not this page.]
5. Intellectual property of this website
The content, design, and branding of this website are the property of [PLACEHOLDER: full legal company name] unless otherwise noted, and may not be reproduced without permission.
6. Limitation of liability
[PLACEHOLDER: a limitation of liability clause appropriate to German/EU law should be drafted by a qualified lawyer, taking into account the mandatory limits on excluding liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, and personal injury under German civil law (BGB).]
7. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [PLACEHOLDER: Germany, unless otherwise determined], without regard to conflict-of-law principles. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm jurisdiction/venue for disputes.]
8. Contact
Questions about these terms can be sent to [PLACEHOLDER: business contact email].
