terms of service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of sdlosangeles.com (the "Site"), operated by SDLA ("SDLA," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Our services

SDLA builds custom software tools and provides marketing consulting. The Site describes our services for informational purposes only. Any client engagement, including scope, deliverables, timelines, fees, payment terms, and ownership of work product, is governed by a separate written agreement, proposal, or statement of work. If that agreement conflicts with these Terms, the agreement controls.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Site or engage our services. If you use the Site on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company to these Terms.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or related systems
• Interfere with or disrupt the Site, including by introducing malware or overloading it with automated requests
• Scrape, copy, or republish Site content for commercial purposes without our written permission
• Submit false information or impersonate any person or business through our contact form

4. Intellectual property

All content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, design, and code, is owned by SDLA or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and print pages for your personal, non-commercial use. Any other use requires our prior written consent. Ownership of work created for clients is defined in the applicable client agreement.

5. Information you submit

When you send us information through the Site, you confirm you have the right to share it. Do not send confidential or sensitive information through the contact form. No confidential or client relationship is formed by contacting us until a written agreement is signed. Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

6. No guarantee of results

Content on the Site is general information, not professional, legal, or financial advice. Marketing outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including platforms, budgets, competition, and market conditions. Any examples, case studies, or figures shown are illustrative and do not guarantee similar results for you.

7. Third-party links and services

The Site may link to or rely on third-party websites and services. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, policies, or availability. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SDLA and its owners, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Site. Our total liability for any claim related to the Site will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SDLA from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the Site or violation of these Terms.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms.

13. General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and SDLA regarding the Site.
