Terms of Service

Notice: This document is a draft prepared for general information purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice. LA Technology Group recommends review by a licensed California attorney before reliance for any commercial transaction. Last updated: May 27, 2026.

Welcome to LA Technology Group ("we," "us," "our," or "the Agency"). These Terms of Service govern your use of our website and the relationship between you and us if you engage us for project work.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the site.

1. Services We Offer

LA Technology Group is a Los Angeles technology consultancy. Our services include:

• Custom website design and development
• E-commerce builds and integrations
• Native and cross-platform mobile applications
• CRM setup and integration
• Cloud migrations and infrastructure work
• General IT consulting
• Ongoing maintenance and support retainers

Our website describes these services in general terms. Specific deliverables, timelines, and prices for any project are defined in a separate Statement of Work (see Section 3).

2. Acceptance of These Terms

By using this website (browsing pages, submitting forms, booking calls, or otherwise interacting with us through the site), you agree to these terms. If you are using the site on behalf of a company, you confirm that you have authority to bind that company.

3. Engagement and Contracts

Our website is a marketing channel. Nothing on this site is a binding offer to perform work, a guarantee of price, or a contract by itself.

When you decide to engage us, the actual work is governed by a separately signed Statement of Work (SOW). The SOW defines the scope, deliverables, schedule, fees, change-order process, and any project-specific terms. If anything in the SOW conflicts with these Terms of Service, the SOW controls for that engagement.

4. Payment Terms

For productized packages and fixed-scope projects:

• 50 percent deposit due at engagement, before work begins.
• 50 percent due on delivery and acceptance.

For retainer and consulting work:

• Invoiced monthly on net-14 terms (payment due 14 days from invoice date).

Late payments accrue interest at 1.5 percent per month or the maximum allowed by California law, whichever is lower. We may pause work on any engagement that is more than 30 days past due. You are responsible for all reasonable collection costs, including attorney fees, if a balance must be referred for collection.

Unless the SOW says otherwise, fees are stated in US dollars and exclude sales tax, third-party fees (hosting, licenses, paid APIs), and reimbursable expenses agreed in writing.

5. Warranty

We warrant that delivered work will substantially perform as described in the SOW for 30 days after launch or final delivery. During this period we will fix bugs in our work at no additional charge.

After the 30-day window, fixes, enhancements, and changes are handled under a retainer or hourly engagement.

This warranty does not cover: third-party services or APIs we did not build, changes you or your team make after delivery, content you supply, browser or OS changes that occur after delivery, or issues caused by hosting or infrastructure outside our control.

EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY ABOVE, ALL WORK IS PROVIDED "AS IS." WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY CALIFORNIA LAW.

6. Intellectual Property

Upon your final payment for a project, you own the custom code, designs, and deliverables we create specifically for you under the SOW.

We retain ownership of:

• Pre-existing tools, libraries, frameworks, and code we developed before or outside the engagement.
• Generic patterns, methods, and know-how we use across projects.
• Any open-source components, which remain under their original licenses.

We grant you a perpetual, royalty-free license to use these retained items as part of your delivered project.

We also retain the right to display the project in our portfolio (screenshots, brief case studies, your logo) unless a separate NDA or written agreement restricts this. We will remove any item from our portfolio on written request.

You confirm that any content, logos, and material you give us is yours to provide and does not infringe anyone else's rights.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by California law:

• Our total liability for any claim related to a specific engagement is limited to the fees you actually paid us under that engagement during the 12 months before the claim arose.
• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, even if we were advised that such damages were possible.

These limits apply regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, statute, or otherwise). They reflect the agreed allocation of risk and are essential to our pricing.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify us against claims arising from: content or materials you supply, your use of our deliverables in violation of law, or your breach of these terms.

We agree to defend and indemnify you against claims that our original deliverables (excluding third-party and open-source components) infringe a US copyright or trademark, provided you notify us promptly and let us control the defense.

9. Confidentiality

Both sides agree to keep the other's confidential information private. Confidential information includes business plans, source code, customer data, financials, and anything marked confidential or that a reasonable person would treat as confidential.

Each side may use the other's confidential information only to perform the engagement, and only with employees and contractors who need to know and are bound by similar duties.

This obligation continues for three years after the engagement ends. Trade secrets remain protected for as long as they qualify as trade secrets under California law.

10. Termination

Either side may terminate an engagement with 30 days' written notice. We may terminate immediately for nonpayment, material breach, or unlawful conduct.

On termination, you owe us for all work performed and expenses incurred up to the termination date. We will deliver work in progress in its then-current state and reasonably cooperate in transition.

Sections covering payment of outstanding fees, intellectual property, limitation of liability, indemnification, confidentiality, and dispute resolution survive termination.

11. Governing Law

These terms and any engagement under them are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Venue for any non-arbitrable matter is the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

12. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Before filing a claim, both sides agree to attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith for at least 30 days through direct discussion.

For disputes involving amounts over $10,000, the parties agree to binding arbitration administered by JAMS in Los Angeles, California, under JAMS' Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator's decision is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Claims that qualify for small-claims court (currently up to $12,500 for individuals and $6,250 for businesses in California) may be filed there instead of arbitration. Either side may seek emergency injunctive relief in court without first arbitrating.

You agree to bring claims only in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative proceeding, except where prohibited by law.

13. Force Majeure

Neither side is liable for delay or failure caused by events outside reasonable control, including natural disasters, fires, floods, earthquakes, pandemics, government action, war, civil unrest, labor disputes, internet outages, or major utility failures. The affected side will notify the other promptly and resume performance as soon as reasonably possible.

14. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the unenforceable provision is reformed to the minimum extent necessary.

These Terms of Service, together with any signed SOW and any policy referenced from the site (Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy), make up the entire agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter and replace any prior discussions.

We may update these terms; the "Last updated" date reflects the current version. Material changes will be posted on the site at least 30 days before they take effect for new engagements.
