TERMS OF
SERVICE.

1. Acceptance Of These Terms

By visiting meiventures.group, submitting the contact form, or engaging Mei Ventures LLC for any service, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you are acting for a company or other organization, you confirm you have authority to bind it.

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract to use this website or engage us. This matches the age threshold in our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use this website or our services.

2. Who We Are

Mei Ventures LLC ("Mei Ventures", "we", "us", "our") is a limited liability company registered in the United States.

3. What We Do

We build digital products and business solutions. Our work falls into four areas:

• Product Design — validating ideas and designing intelligent products.
• Product Strategy — iterating, scaling, and optimizing for measurable growth.
• Automation & Integrations — streamlining operations and integrating software into existing workflows.
• Application Development — building full-stack web and mobile applications.

Descriptions on this website are general information about the kind of work we take on. They are not an offer, a fixed scope, a quote, or a guarantee of any particular result.

4. Use Of This Website

You agree not to:

• Use this website in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its hosting infrastructure, or any connected system or database.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system without our prior written permission.
• Interfere with the site, place unreasonable load on it, or disrupt access for others.
• Submit automated, bulk, or fraudulent inquiries through the contact form.
• Scrape, copy, republish, or resell any part of this website without written permission.

We may restrict or block access to anyone we reasonably believe is doing any of the above.

The contact form is rate limited. If you send several messages in quick succession from the same connection, further attempts are refused for a short period and the form will tell you so. This is an automated protection against flooding, not a judgment about you, and it clears on its own. If you genuinely need to reach us in the meantime, the addresses on our contact page are always available.

5. Submitting An Inquiry

Submitting the contact form starts a conversation. It does not create a contract, reserve capacity, or obligate either of us to proceed.

• Please give accurate information. Name, email, at least one service, and a description of the project are required; company, budget, and timeline are optional. We may rely on any of it when scoping and quoting.
• Do not send confidential or sensitive material through the form. Wait until we have a confidentiality agreement in place.
• We may decline any inquiry, and we are not obligated to explain why.
• A record of your submission is stored and emailed to us. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly how.

6. Client Engagements

Every project is governed by its own written proposal or statement of work, setting out scope, deliverables, timeline, and fees. Where that document conflicts with these terms, it prevails for that project.

• Changes to an agreed-upon scope are confirmed in writing before the additional work begins.
• You agree to supply timely feedback, approvals, access, credentials, and materials that the work depends on.
• Delays in feedback or materials may move agreed-upon dates. We will tell you when that happens.
• You confirm you have the rights to any content, data, or assets you supply to us.
• Either party may pause or end an engagement on reasonable written notice, subject to the terms of that engagement.

7. Fees And Payment

Fees, currency, schedule, and any expenses are set out in the applicable proposal or statement of work. Unless stated otherwise, invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date.

• A deposit is normally required before work begins, and is non-refundable once work has started.
• We may pause active work on an overdue account until it is settled.
• Quoted fees exclude taxes, third-party software, hosting, and license costs unless expressly included.
• Ongoing third-party subscriptions needed to run your product become your responsibility once handed over.

Billing questions go to billing@meiventures.group.

8. Intellectual Property

On receipt of all fees due for an engagement, ownership of the final deliverables created specifically for you transfers to you, with the exceptions below.

• We keep ownership of our pre-existing tools, libraries, frameworks, and know-how, and grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use them as embedded in your deliverables.
• Open-source and third-party components stay under their own licenses, which pass through to you.
• Concepts, drafts, and directions not selected for delivery remain ours.
• Unless you ask us in writing not to, we may describe and show completed work in our portfolio and marketing.

Everything on this website — the Mei Ventures name, logo, copy, design, and code — remains our property and may not be reproduced without written permission.

9. Use Of AI Technology

Artificial intelligence tools are part of how we work. Before engaging us, please understand the following.

• AI-assisted output can contain errors. We review what we deliver, but no review process catches everything.
• We do not warrant that AI-assisted output is unique, or that materially similar output could not be produced for someone else.
• The legal status of AI-generated material is unsettled and varies by jurisdiction. We cannot guarantee that such material is protectable by copyright.
• Where an engagement requires your data to be processed by a third-party AI provider, we agree to that with you in writing first.
• You are responsible for any independent legal, regulatory, or compliance review your industry requires of AI-assisted work.

10. Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other's confidential information in confidence and use it only for the engagement. This does not apply to information that is already public, becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known, was independently developed, or must be disclosed by law.

Where a project needs stronger protection, we are happy to sign a separate confidentiality agreement.

11. Third-Party Services

Our work commonly integrates third-party platforms — hosting, databases, payment processors, email delivery, AI providers, and similar. This website itself is hosted on Vercel and loads fonts and code libraries from third-party providers.

Those services have their own terms and pricing. We are not responsible for their availability, performance, security, pricing changes, or discontinuation, and outages on their side are outside our control.

This website also links out to sites we do not operate, including our social media profiles. Following such a link takes you to a service governed by its own terms and privacy policy, and we are not responsible for its content or practices.

12. Disclaimers

We warrant that our services will be performed with reasonable skill and care by people competent to perform them.

Beyond that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, this website and our services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that this website will be uninterrupted, timely, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any particular commercial, financial, or performance outcome will be achieved.

13. Limitation Of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mei Ventures will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, whether or not we were advised such damages were possible.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to an engagement will not exceed the total fees you actually paid us for that engagement in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Where no fees have been paid, our aggregate liability will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US$100).

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Mei Ventures harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of this website, or any content, data, or materials you supplied to us that infringe a third party's rights.

15. Termination

Either party may end an engagement in line with the notice provisions of the applicable agreement. On termination you remain liable for fees for work performed up to that date, and we will deliver the work completed to that point once those fees are settled.

We may suspend or withdraw access to this website at any time, including where these terms have been breached. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — continue to apply.

16. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction.

Before commencing formal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through direct discussion.

17. Changes To These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continuing to use this website or our services after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms. Changes do not retroactively alter a signed proposal or statement of work.

18. General Terms

• Entire agreement. These terms, together with any proposal or statement of work we sign, are the entire agreement between us on their subject matter and replace any earlier discussions or representations.
• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable, or severed if that is not possible. The rest of these terms continue in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision on one occasion, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these terms, or any engagement, without our written consent. We may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, civil unrest, labor disputes, utility or internet failure, and outages at third-party providers. Payment obligations already incurred are not excused.
• Independent contractor. We work as an independent contractor. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship.
• Notices. Formal notices to us go to legal@meiventures.group and to the mailing address in section 2. Notices to you go to the email address you last gave us.
• Headings. Section headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.
