Terms of Service

By using sableboxx.com you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site. These terms are between you and Sableboxx, a design and digital studio operating from Abuja, Nigeria.

This site describes our services and publishes our work and writing. Everything on it is provided for general information. Nothing here is an offer capable of acceptance, a quote, or professional advice for your particular situation — a quote is a document we send you, signed by us.

Case studies describe outcomes for specific clients under specific conditions. They are honest accounts of what happened, not a promise of what will happen for you.

You agree not to:

• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, its infrastructure or the studio dashboard.
• Scrape, mirror or republish the site's content at scale, or use it to train a model, without our written permission.
• Submit the enquiry form with someone else's details, or use it to send unsolicited commercial messages.
• Interfere with the site's operation or use it in any way that breaks applicable law.

We may suspend access from any source that does these things, without notice.

Submitting the form at /contact starts a conversation; it does not create a contract or reserve capacity. We aim to reply within two business days. We may decline any enquiry, and we do not have to give a reason.

Any figure we discuss before a written proposal is an indication only. A binding price exists once we issue a proposal and you accept it in writing.

Project work is governed by the proposal or statement of work we both sign. That document sets the scope, the fee, the schedule, the payment terms and the number of revision rounds included. Where it conflicts with this page, it prevails.

• Deposits. Unless the proposal says otherwise, work begins on receipt of the deposit, and the deposit is non-refundable once work has begun.
• Your input. Delivery dates assume you supply content, feedback and approvals when the schedule asks for them. Delay on your side moves our dates by at least the same amount.
• Changes. Work outside the agreed scope is quoted separately and started only once you approve it in writing.
• Ending an engagement. Either of us may end an engagement with 14 days’ written notice. You pay for work completed and costs committed up to that point; we hand over what has been paid for.

The site. The Sableboxx name, logo, written content, design and code on this site belong to us and are protected by copyright and trade mark law. Reading it grants you no licence to reuse it.

Project deliverables. Ownership of final approved deliverables transfers to you when you have paid in full. Until then we retain ownership, and anything unpaid may not be used.

What stays ours. Concepts not selected, working files, and the tools, frameworks and internal components we reuse across clients remain ours. Where a deliverable depends on one of those, you get a perpetual licence to use it as part of the deliverable.

Third-party assets. Fonts, stock imagery and plugins are licensed, not owned. We tell you which ones a project depends on and what the licence costs; those licences are yours to hold and renew.

Showing the work. We may display completed work in our portfolio and marketing unless the proposal says we may not, and we will always honour an agreed confidentiality period first.

Invoices are due within the period stated on the invoice, 14 days if it states none. Fees are exclusive of VAT and of bank or currency-conversion charges, which are yours. We may suspend work on overdue accounts and charge interest at 2% per month on amounts more than 30 days late.

We warrant that we will perform our work with reasonable skill and care, to a professional standard. Beyond that the site itself is provided “as is”: we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it is free of anything harmful.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost revenue, lost data or loss of goodwill. Our total liability arising from an engagement is limited to the fees you have paid us under that engagement. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

After launch, a site depends on hosting, domains, third-party services and updates. Unless you have a support agreement with us, keeping those current is yours to manage.

Each of us will keep the other’s non-public business information confidential and use it only for the engagement. This survives the end of the engagement by three years.

How we handle personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the courts of Nigeria have exclusive jurisdiction. If a dispute arises we both agree to attempt to resolve it in good faith, in writing, before starting proceedings.

We may update these terms; the date at the top of this page shows when they last changed, and continued use of the site after that means you accept the change. Changes do not alter the terms of an engagement already signed.
