Terms & Conditions

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using the Apalex website or engaging our services. By accessing our website, submitting a form, or purchasing any service, you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. Services

Apalex provides web design, web development, mobile app development, social media marketing, and related digital services to individuals and businesses. The specific scope of each engagement is defined in a separate project agreement or proposal accepted by the client prior to work commencing.

2. Payment Terms

All one-time project fees are due as specified in your project agreement. Apalex typically requires a deposit before work begins, with the remaining balance due upon project completion or as otherwise agreed in writing. Monthly service fees (e.g., maintenance, social media management) are billed on a recurring basis and must be cancelled with 30 days' written notice.

All fees are non-refundable once work has commenced unless Apalex fails to deliver agreed deliverables.

3. Intellectual Property

Upon receipt of full payment, clients receive full ownership of the final deliverables (code, design assets, written copy) produced specifically for their project. Apalex retains ownership of any proprietary frameworks, tools, or methodologies used during production. Apalex reserves the right to display completed work in its portfolio unless the client requests otherwise in writing.

4. Client Responsibilities

Clients agree to provide accurate information, timely feedback, and all necessary assets (logos, photos, copy, credentials) required to complete the project. Delays caused by late client responses may extend the project timeline. Apalex is not responsible for delays attributable to the client.

5. Limitation of Liability

Apalex's total liability for any claim arising from services rendered shall not exceed the total amount paid by the client for the specific project in question. Apalex is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data, or business interruption.

6. Third-Party Services

Apalex may integrate or recommend third-party services (e.g., hosting providers, domain registrars, analytics platforms, CRM tools). Apalex is not responsible for the performance, availability, or terms of such third-party services. Clients are responsible for maintaining their own accounts and agreements with these providers.

7. Hosting, Domain & Maintenance

Domain registration is not included in our project fees. Clients are responsible for purchasing and owning their own domain directly with a registrar of their choice.

Ongoing hosting and maintenance are provided under a separate recurring monthly plan. This plan includes up to 3 hours of maintenance per month, hosting of the lead-capture form integration (Web3Forms), and additional services tailored to the client's goals. The specific inclusions of each plan are defined in your project or service agreement. Monthly plans are billed on a recurring basis and must be cancelled with 30 days' written notice (see Payment Terms above).

8. Warranties & Disclaimers

Apalex warrants that services will be performed with reasonable skill and care. We do not guarantee specific business outcomes (e.g., search engine rankings, leads generated, revenue increases) as these depend on many factors outside our control. Websites and apps are delivered "as-is" after client sign-off.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate an engagement with 14 days' written notice. In the event of termination, the client owes payment for all work completed up to the termination date. Deposits are non-refundable.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Florida, except where prohibited by law.

11. Cookies & Analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies (theme preference and your cookie consent decision) are always active.

12. Changes to These Terms

Apalex reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
