Intellectual Property
Trademarks, servicemarks, and copywritten material provided by the client to me for use in the project remain the property of the client.

Cancellation
I reserve the right to cancel the project at any time for any reason. In the event of cancellation, the client will be fully refunded and any progress will be turned over to the client. If the client cancels the project, the client will be refunded for any work not completed at the time of cancellation. This will be determined based on the estimated time remaining to complete the project.

I am not liable for any damages or losses incurred by the client as a result of the project. This includes but is not limited to loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of reputation, and loss of business. I am not liable for any loss of data or loss of service as a result of a security breach. I am not liable for any damages or losses incurred by the client as a result of a security breach. The client indemnifies me against any claims, losses, or damages arising from the client's use of the project.
Arbitration
I will always do my best to resolve any disputes with the client. If we are unable to resolve a dispute, all disputes between me and the client will be settled by arbitration in the state of Texas. The client agrees to pay all legal fees incurred by me and themselves in an arbitration proceeding. The client and I agree to abide by the decision of the arbitrator.
