Terms of Service & Project Agreements

1. Acceptance of Terms & Agreement Scope

By accessing our website, requesting a project estimate, executing a Statement of Work (SOW), or purchasing web, marketing, or print services from DG Digital Media Services (Doeman Group), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.

Specific project deliverables, timelines, milestones, pricing, and scope variations will be specified in individual Statements of Work (SOW), project proposals, or written estimates executed between DG Digital Media Services and the Client.

2. Services Provided

DG Digital Media Services operates as a multi-disciplinary agency providing three core solutions:

• Web Development: Custom website design, front-end and back-end development, e-commerce integration, search engine optimization (SEO), and web performance maintenance.
• Marketing: Social media strategy, content creation, social advertising management, and promotional campaigns.
• Print & Branding: Production of business cards, banners, flyers, posters, car magnet signage, and custom marketing collateral.

3. Intellectual Property Ownership & Portfolio Rights

A. Client Deliverables & Ownership Transfer

Upon receipt of 100% full payment for a completed project, DG Digital Media Services transfers to the Client full ownership rights to final website visual designs, custom source code, graphic assets, and print artwork created specifically for the Client.

B. Pre-Existing IP & Frameworks

DG Digital Media Services retains ownership of underlying proprietary tools, open-source libraries (e.g., Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS), starter frameworks, and reusable code modules developed prior to or independently of the Client project. The Client is granted a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use such elements within their delivered website or application.

C. Portfolio Showcase Rights

Unless explicitly restricted by a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), DG Digital Media Services reserves the right to showcase completed client websites, marketing case studies, and printed branding collateral in our online portfolio, marketing materials, and social media channels.

4. Client Responsibilities & Commercial Print Proofing

• Content & Asset Delivery: The Client is responsible for supplying high-resolution logos, text copy, imagery, brand guidelines, and third-party access credentials necessary to complete the project on schedule.
• Commercial Print Proofing Policy: For print deliverables (business cards, banners, signs), the Client is provided with digital proofs for review. The Client bears sole responsibility for final proof approval. DG Digital Media Services is not liable for typographical errors, spelling mistakes, low-resolution source assets supplied by the Client, or color variations inherent to physical print production after digital proof approval.

5. Payment Terms, Deposits, & Invoicing

Unless otherwise specified in a formal project contract:

• Web and custom development projects require a 50% non-refundable deposit prior to project initiation, with the remaining 50% balance due upon project completion prior to live domain launch or code transfer.
• Print orders require 100% upfront payment prior to sending job orders to commercial print production facilities.
• Invoices unpaid after 30 days are subject to a 1.5% monthly late fee. DG Digital Media Services reserves the right to pause active web development, suspend hosting access, or halt marketing management campaigns for overdue accounts.

6. Warranties & Limitation of Liability

Services Provided "As Is": DG Digital Media Services warrants that services will be performed professionally in accordance with industry standards. However, we do not guarantee specific third-party search engine rankings (SEO), ad impression counts, or uninterrupted third-party cloud hosting uptime (e.g., Vercel, AWS, DNS providers).

Limitation of Liability: Under no circumstances shall DG Digital Media Services (Doeman Group), its officers, directors, or employees be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from site downtime, data loss, or commercial loss. Our maximum aggregate liability under any project agreement shall not exceed the total fees paid by the Client to DG Digital Media Services for the specific project giving rise to the claim.

7. Termination & Cancellation

Either party may terminate a service agreement upon 14 days' written notice. In the event of early termination by the Client, the Client remains responsible for payment of all billable work completed up to the date of termination. Initial deposits for project scheduling and print production setup are non-refundable.

8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith informal negotiations between the parties before initiating legal proceedings.
