Terms of Service

Service Agreement

Please review the following terms before engaging SpaceCowGoesMoo Web Services for a project.

Full Terms

1. Scope of Services

SpaceCowGoesMoo Web Services ("Provider") designs and builds custom static websites for small businesses and individuals. The specific deliverables, features, and timeline for each project will be agreed upon in writing before work begins.

2. Content Restrictions

The Provider reserves the right to decline or terminate any project that requires the creation of a website containing content that is:

  • Harmful, threatening, harassing, or promoting violence
  • Sexually explicit or pornographic
  • Illegal under United States federal law or the laws of the State of Texas
  • Political in nature, including campaign sites, PAC sites, or partisan advocacy
  • Designed to spread misinformation or disinformation
  • Fraudulent, deceptive, or designed to facilitate scams

The Provider exercises sole discretion in determining whether proposed content falls within these categories. If a project is declined for this reason, any deposit paid will be refunded in full.

3. Code Ownership and License

Upon completion of the project and receipt of full payment, the Client receives an irrevocable, permanent, and delegatable license to use, modify, distribute, sublicense, and otherwise do with the delivered code as they see fit. There are no recurring fees, subscriptions, or restrictions on the Client's use of their website.

4. Provider's Right to Reuse Utility Code

The Client's license does not prevent the Provider from reusing generic, content-free utility functions created during the project in future projects. "Utility functions" are defined strictly as code that performs a general-purpose technical task (e.g., form validation, responsive layout helpers, animation utilities) and contains no content specific to the Client's website, such as text, branding, images, design elements, or business logic unique to the Client.

To be clear: any code that contains, references, or is shaped by the Client's specific content, branding, or design direction belongs exclusively to the Client under the license above. The Provider may only reuse functions that are entirely generic and carry no Client-specific substance.

5. Portfolio Showcase Discount

The Provider may, at the Provider's sole discretion, offer the Client a discount of 30% off the quoted project price in exchange for the Client granting the Provider a permanent, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to display the completed website -- including screenshots, recordings, and live links -- as an example of the Provider's work in portfolios, marketing materials, and similar promotional contexts.

The Provider is under no obligation to make this offer for any given project. If made, the offer must be accepted or declined by the Client in writing before work begins. Declining the offer does not affect the project scope, quality of work, or any other term of service.

6. Payment Terms

Payment structure will be agreed upon before work begins. The full source code will be delivered upon receipt of final payment. The Provider reserves the right to withhold deliverables until payment is complete.

7. Revisions

The Provider will work collaboratively with the Client throughout the design and build process. Reasonable revisions are included as part of the project scope. Significant changes to the project direction after development has begun may require a revised scope and timeline agreement.

8. Third-Party Services

Websites may incorporate third-party services such as web fonts, form processors, analytics tools, or hosting platforms. The Provider is not responsible for the availability, terms, pricing changes, or data practices of any third-party service. The Client is responsible for reviewing and agreeing to the terms of any third-party services used on their site.

9. Warranty Disclaimer

The Provider delivers websites in good working condition as demonstrated at the time of delivery. Websites are provided "as is" after delivery. The Provider does not guarantee uninterrupted operation, compatibility with future browser updates, or the continued availability of third-party services integrated into the site.

10. Limitation of Liability

The Provider's total liability for any claim arising from a project shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client for that project. The Provider is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits or data.

11. Cancellation

Either party may cancel the project at any time with written notice. If the Client cancels, payment is due for work completed up to the cancellation date. If the Provider cancels, any payments received for undelivered work will be refunded.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, United States.

13. Language

These terms are provided in multiple languages for convenience. The English-language version is the sole authoritative version of this agreement. Translations may contain errors or imprecisions. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and any translation, the English version shall prevail.

14. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. All remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

15. Changes to These Terms

The Provider may update these terms from time to time. The terms in effect at the time a project agreement is signed will govern that project.

Effective date: March 11, 2026
