1. Agreement
By accessing paulhartmann.dev, creating a session, or purchasing services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site or complete a purchase. A separate written proposal or statement of work controls if it conflicts with these general Terms.
2. Services and scope
Paul Hartmann provides product strategy, interface design, full-stack development, AI integration, deployment, and related digital services. Package inclusions are described on the Pricing page. Exact deliverables, dependencies, content, access, start date, and delivery date are confirmed before work begins.
Requests outside the confirmed scope may require a new estimate, additional payment, or a revised schedule. You are responsible for providing accurate requirements, timely feedback, lawful content, and any accounts or access needed to complete the work.
3. Checkout, payment, and cancellation
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Prices are shown in US dollars unless stated otherwise. Applicable taxes or fees may be added where required. A Stripe confirmation does not replace final scope confirmation.
Because project capacity is reserved and work may begin promptly, payments are non-refundable after work begins except where required by law or agreed in writing. If a project cannot be accepted, the relevant payment will be refunded. Approved refunds may take additional time to appear through the payment provider.
4. Intellectual property
After full payment, final custom deliverables created specifically for your project are assigned to you unless a written agreement states otherwise. Pre-existing tools, reusable components, methods, open-source software, third-party assets, and general know-how remain with their respective owners and may be licensed for use in the deliverable.
Completed work may be shown in a portfolio or case study unless confidentiality has been agreed in writing.
5. Client accounts and acceptable use
You are responsible for the security of your GitHub or Google account and for activity performed through your authenticated session. Do not misuse the site, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with its operation, submit unlawful material, or use automated means that create unreasonable load. Access may be suspended to protect the site or others.
6. Third-party services
The site and delivered projects may rely on third-party platforms, APIs, software, and hosting. Those services are governed by their own terms and may change independently. Paul Hartmann is not responsible for third-party outages, policy changes, or actions outside reasonable control.
7. Warranties and liability
The website is provided “as is” and “as available.” Services will be performed with reasonable professional care, but uninterrupted operation, specific commercial results, or complete freedom from defects cannot be guaranteed. To the fullest extent permitted by law, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-profit damages are excluded. Total liability relating to a service will not exceed the amount paid for that service.
8. Termination and governing terms
Either party may end an engagement under the conditions in the applicable written scope. Fees remain due for work completed and committed costs through termination. These Terms are governed by the applicable law identified in the project agreement; where none is specified, mandatory consumer protections and applicable conflict-of-law rules remain unaffected.
9. Changes
These Terms may be updated when the site or services change. The version in effect when a package is purchased governs that purchase unless the parties agree otherwise.
